RESIDENT REQUIREMENTS
Serenity Homes Guiding Principles
Serenity Homes promotes safety, security, serenity and sobriety for each of our residents. Our program provides our residents adequate structure and accountability with enough freedom to live their own lives. The majority of our residents work full-time jobs while meeting the expectations of the Serenity Homes program. These principles are in place to ensure that our residents have more than enough support to flourish in their recovery. Our residents are required to comply with the following rules and expectations:
- Total abstinence from alcohol, drugs, narcotic medications, mood altering substances is mandatory.
- Attendance is required each week at our Serenity Tuesday and Wednesday night recovery meetings. Both meetings begin at 6:30 pm.

Immediately following the Sunday night church service, a weekly required house meeting is held back at your home.
