Today’s Date: Date

The purpose of Moving Forward's Level II Recovery Housing is to allow individuals in recovery from substance use disorders to live in a peer supported environment free from alcohol and illicit drugs. Residents maintain accountability through drug screenings, tracking and documenting weekly recovery activities, as well as sharing in peer-run house meetings. All residents must participate in an outpatient clinical program that includes relapse prevention and employment readiness training.  Moving Forward Recovery House Level II will be a staff monitored home providing staff and peer support to residents. All residents must have at least 30 days of recovery or successful completion of Level III recovery house. Residents must be able to have the ability to provide peer support to other residents, participate in recovery planning, and live in a housing environment with peer support and a house manager as opposed to a supervised treatment environment.
