About Pine Street Recovery
SAFETY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE
Threats, intimidation, violence, and behavior that places another resident's safety or recovery at serious risk will not be tolerated.
Pine Street Recovery Housing serves individuals working to recover from substance use disorders, including individuals who may be protected as persons with disabilities under state or federal law. We take seriously our responsibility to provide a safe, drug- and alcohol-free recovery environment.
Drug or alcohol use in our homes is not viewed as a private decision that affects only the person using. Introducing drugs, alcohol, intoxication, or substance-related behavior into a recovery home can place other residents at serious risk of relapse, injury, overdose, or death.
For that reason, Pine Street considers drug or alcohol use in the home to be conduct that threatens the safety and recovery of other residents. It will not be tolerated.
Recovery housing only works when residents can trust that their home will remain safe, sober, and supportive of recovery.
Every resident is expected to respect the recovery, personal safety, property, and well-being of the people around them. Your actions cannot be allowed to jeopardize someone else's recovery or their life.

Whether you need healthcare, vocational training, legal services, or other support, we encourage residents to connect with resources available throughout the community.

Unlike temporary shelters, transitional housing often allows individuals to stay for extended periods, typically anywhere from several months to years, giving them ample time to establish stability. Many of our individuals have lived with us for many years. (you can stay as long as you would like on our month to month lease)
