ADMISSION REQUIRMENTS

ABOS House is a yearlong residential program. Each resident shall commit to a minimum of one year in the program to gain admission with the understanding that it is a yearlong commitment to complete said program.

 

An entry fee of $1500 is due upon admission into ABOS HOUSE LLC. Entry fee includes the first four weeks rent. After the expiration of the initial four-week period, the rent and utilities are paid on a weekly basis, with any unpaid utilities being due on a monthly basis. Rent and utility monies are to be paid in advance on this basis, although alternative arrangements may be discussed on an individual basis.  Rent will be due on Tuesday of each week. Each resident is responsible for purchasing their groceries. The utility bill (gas, water, power, trash & internet, etc.) will be divided among house members.

 

The resident must be physically, mentally, emotionally, and behaviorally capable of functioning in a residential setting and must not present a danger to himself or others physically, behaviorally, emotionally, or sexually.

 

The resident must have abstained from alcohol and/or drug use for at least twenty-four hours immediately preceding admission and/or completed detox before entering the program of ABOS House LLC.

 

The resident must be medically stable. Any individual with ongoing medical problems, including dual diagnoses, may be accepted into ABOS House provided they are addressing these problems with outside professional help, including medication management. ABOS House is not a medical facility. We will assist with appropriate referrals when necessary, but it is solely the resident’s responsibility to pay for such professional help. 

 

The resident must be employed or actively seeking employment at least thirty-five (35) hours per week. ABOS House will provide assistance in seeking employment; however, it is the resident’s responsibility to find and maintain suitable employment to meet financial obligations necessary to retain residence in ABOS House. Any resident unable to work, must be involved in appropriate activities during the day, such as educational or vocational training, partial day treatment, and/or volunteer work.
