Recovery residences are privately-owned homes or complexes that provide housing for adults with a substance use disorder or co-occurring disorder. They serve individuals that are currently receiving outpatient SUD services or are enrolled in recovery services.

According to the 2017 study by the Walter Rand Institute for Public Affairs , Rutgers University–Camden, over 70% of the people who come through the Hansen Foundation’s Serenity House are and remain clean after one year. The council then voted, with Hopkins, fellow Ward II Alderman Jim Trantham and Ward IV Alderman Clyde Heller voting against. Aldermen voting in favor of the amendment were Steve Notheisen, Matt Buettner, Stan Darter, Kyle Buettner and Russ Row. “Maybe I wouldn’t have been on heroin for 18 years of my life had I had access to those types of resources,” she said. Also among the speakers was Sheri Black, 40, of Waterloo, a former heroin addict of 18 years who has been clean for three years. She said the lack of local resources for addicts to receive help is a problem.

With the support of peer recovery specialists, residents are supported in goals to achieve long-term recovery. Presson also pointed out that a petition against the changes signed by 72 residents was presented to the zoning board. Chase also said a document with 195 signatures gathered in support of passing the zoning text amendment was submitted to the city.

You would think they would be knocking on our doors seeking “Best Practices” instead. The longer an individual can stay in recovery housing and be engaged in a recovery recovery residence community, the better their chances are for successful sustained recovery. We recommend our residents stay in our recovery housing from 6-18 months following treatment.

Our clients work, attend school, or volunteer, and participate in Real Recovery’s community events. FARR Board of Directors will discuss and make a formal recommendation for a vote at the next general meeting. A report of the findings, voting results and corrective actions to be taken will be provided to the grievant via email within 14 business days after the general meeting. The proceedings will be recorded in general meeting minutes to keep an official record.

Structured Sober Living

Real Recovery is a growing community of sober living homes located in the Tampa Bay area. Our properties are located throughout Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee, and Sarasota County). We offer a safe environment where men who are serious about recovering from the seemingly hopeless disease of alcoholism and addiction can build a new way of life filled with purpose, among likeminded sober peers. Our mission is to collaborate with the community, family members, and treatment providers to support and promote high-quality recovery residences for individuals with substance use disorder and co-occurring disorder. All of the residents pay a reasonable rent and we have 3 fundraisers per year to raise the rest of the funds necessary to operate and award some scholarships. I have used my own money to pay the legal fees to fight for the rights of recovering addicts and the State is using your money, yes, taxpayer’s money, to take away the best sober living houses in the state.

The rest of the commission voted against that – but not because it was against adding it to the code. 1,000+ family members and friends will have no peace-of-mind knowing their loved one is safe and learning to live a productive life.

We help college graduates develop the necessary tools to pursue a professional career, and assist the vocationally-inclined in gaining and maintaining employment. Our ongoing mission is to instill in each young man the confidence and abilities he needs to be an active participant in his family, his community, and his own recovery. Our mission is to provide Accountability, Connection, and Love in order for our communities to rise above eating disorders, substance use disorders, and dis-ease. Josh Boyer of Waterloo, a pastor at Hope Christian Church and president of the Monroe County Coalition for Drug-Free Communities, also said he supported the recovery residence. It was that type of concern that seemed to motivate many of those against allowing the recovery residence.

Those for and against the new facility, which is the site of the former Rosedale House senior living community, were split about 50-50, with a few more speakers in favor of the new nonprofit. Among the roughly 100 people in the audience, the applause seemed similarly divided between speakers for and against the proposal. The FARR grievance process is intended for serious and relevant issues, please give us an opportunity to better serve you by addressing your concerns with a program administrator or house manager before filing a formal grievance with FARR. FARR is committed to providing fair, impartial support and encouragement to Drug rehabilitation providers who express a willingness to achieve compliance with the NARR Standard and FARR Code of Ethics. FARR is further committed to participate in academic research studies focused on ROSC, Recovery Management, and residents’ personal development of Recovery Capital. FARR supports Recovery Residence providers in their effort to deliver quality recovery-oriented housing opportunities to persons in recovery who seek to reside in abstinence-based, peer-supportive environments. We believe this is best achieved through encouraging and monitoring provider compliance with national standards promulgated for this purpose.

The attorney seemed to be addressing a legal memorandum sent to city officials Friday by Waterloo Listens administrator Amanda Chase, who is an attorney with Strellis & Field in Waterloo. In his remarks, Adrian Martinez said Cornerstone Laine wants to make a difference in the lives of women needing help. Mayor Tom Smith said five “yes” votes were required on the council for the amendment to pass.

The vote followed several voices mostly for but also against the amendment during Monday’s council meeting in the Waterloo High School auditorium. Our chemical free-living facility, Williamsburg, offers 60 chemical-free living spaces. Located in close proximity to local hospitals and shopping malls, it provides many work opportunities for those individuals rebuilding their skills and credibility in the workforce. Television areas, recreational areas, a library, an employment resource room, parking and a full-service kitchen/dining area are all included as part of the chemical-free living component.

This created a 5-year legal battle with the State of New Jersey, and just now, an egregious and ludicrous fine of $594,000 from the DCA, State of New Jersey. Just detox, treatment or primary care alone are not enough for long term recovery success. The Hansen Foundation Residences, Serenity Estates and Serenity Houses, provide affordable, long-term, home-like atmosphere and necessary recovery support. Ron Hagenow, one of the zoning board members who voted against recommending this amendment, pointed out to the council that a B-2 district is intended for certain highway-oriented commercial activities and most B-2 areas in Waterloo are near homes. One resident of the Westview Acres subdivision located near the proposed recovery residence voiced his opposition. We began HHRR as a not-for-profit 501 charity, so we could go to our community for support and assistance.
