The 180 House was founded in 1994 and has been serving the community ever since. Since we have opened our doors, we have been dedicated, in one form or another, to providing a safe living environment to the recovering addict. 

1. The #1 rule, you must stay 100% clean and sober. This means, no alcohol, no drugs, no prescription drugs unless prescribed to you. We must be notified of any prescriptions you have the day you receive them to be in compliance of the rules. 

 2. You must pay your rent in a timely manner. Rent will be prorated to Fridays after you have found employment. Rent will not be carried more than four days unless arrangements have been made. WE WILL NOT CHASE YOU DOWN FOR YOUR RENT. 

3. You must let us know who you are with and where you are if you do not sleep in your own bed each night. There will be no exceptions made for anyone as long as you stay with us. You must have lived at the 180 House 30 day to have overnight privileges. 

4. Do not tear up our place. If you spill something – clean it up! No holes, burns or anything! Please report all accidents. Do not attach anything to our walls, shelves, pictures, racks with nails, screw, or anything. The Rules allow you to use a maximum of 3 thumb tacks in your room per person. 

5. If you have completed your Serenity House, you must attend a Tuesday or Thursday night outpatient classes for the first 60 days of your stay at the 180 House. You must go to the Serenity House and sign up for outpatient classes.  If you are from a different treatment center, you are welcome to sign up for out-patient treatment at the Serenity House. You must attend 60 meetings in the first 60 days of your stay here at the 180 House. If you are not working, you must attend 2 meeting per day for 60 days. One of them must be a noon meeting. 

6. Curfew for all residence is as follow. Monday -Thursday curfew is 12:30 am. Friday – Sunday curfew is 1:00 am. Please let us know beforehand if you cannot make curfew. 

7. HONOR POLICY! - You have the responsibility of letting a staff member know if you suspect or have facts of someone living in this house is using or has use. We consider you a part of the problem if you are not willing to take responsibility of keeping you own house clean. 

 Any tenant working less than 20 hours a week will do 10 hours of community service in-house. This begins on the 1st day of your stay here. The sign-up form is hanging on the bookshelf in the foyer. If it is not written down you have completed it yet. 

 If you become employed before your 1st day of residency you do not have to do community service. If you should lose your job, your community service starts the day of your termination of employment. Not 7 days after you have worked. Any questions should be directed toward the office personnel. 

We will not chase you down or hound you for this community service. We will remove you if you do not follow these rules. It is your responsibility, not ours. It is simply asked that you follow these rules. These rules will be enforced and could include removal from the recovery house if not followed.

 A chores list arrives on Sunday and is posted in the kitchen of each wing, every Sunday. You should have at least one or more on this list. The list is dependent on the vacancy of the 180 House. Again, the list is located in the kitchen of each wing. Not knowing of the schedule is not a permitted excuse. 

 Make contact with the Resident Managers of each wing to find out exactly what is expected of you during your stay. Your participation of the list is a requirement of your stay. Non participation of the chores list could result in your removal from the 180 House halfway house.
