Early recovery from a substance abuse problem is a vulnerable time. As people transition from rehab back into their regular routine, the risk of relapse is high. Brandon Novak’s life itself was filled with a series of stints in rehab followed by early relapses. Novak’s House tries to break this cycle.

Recovery Home Rules & Regulations

Part of the reason people find more success in these facilities than outside of them is the structure and supervision recovery homes provide. While residents still have an ordinate amount of freedom, there are recovery home rules and regulations in place meant to not only keep patients on track but also aid them in recovery and keep them progressing forward.

Some of the rules and regulations at Novak’s House include:

• 30-day transition phase (no overnights and senior member or sober support when outside of the house)
• Following a specified curfew
• Adhering to random drug tests
• Attending weekly house meetings
• Attending five 12 step meetings each week
• Agreeing to obtain a sponsor and home group for these 12 step meetings
• Completing counseling and treatment as recommended by a rehab center

Residents who successfully follow these rules will be able to build a solid foundation for lasting sobriety.
