Choice House's goal is to help clients achieve abstinence-based sobriety. They work with individuals and their medical team to create a plan to taper them off medications like Suboxone. They often transition clients to non-narcotic alternatives like Vivitrol when clinically appropriate.

The program is long-term. The initial residential treatment phase is 90 days. This is followed by a structured sober living phase with a minimum commitment of 120 days, though many clients stay longer as needed.

The living quarters are home-like independent houses on a sober living campus. Rooms are typically shared to foster community and accountability. While some photos show private rooms, these may be for clients at advanced stages of the program or available as an upgrade. Please confirm availability with admissions.

No, it is an open campus, meaning the doors are not locked. However, it is a highly structured program, and clients are expected to remain on-site and adhere to the schedule. Leaving campus is typically only for approved, supervised activities.

Smoking: Yes, clients are permitted to smoke cigarettes during designated break times in specified outdoor areas. The policy on vaping is unclear; please confirm with admissions.

Electronics: There is an initial blackout period with no personal devices. Access to phones and computers is gradually earned as clients progress through the program, based on individual clinical needs and progress.

Bring: A limited amount of comfortable clothing for about a week (including workout clothes, swimwear, warm jacket, rain jacket), hiking boots, toiletries, towels, a notebook, and pens. You may also bring musical instruments and a non-WiFi iPod/MP3 player.

Leave at Home: Drugs, alcohol, weapons, products with alcohol (e.g., mouthwash), revealing/offensive clothing, expensive items, large amounts of cash, and outside food/drinks. Laptops and cell phones should be left at home initially, as per the electronics policy.
