Life at Severn Home

Three things to know first: who checks on you, what a room costs, and what all seven houses have.

The first year

For your first 30 days, you go to four recovery meetings a week. From day 30, you may take an overnight pass every other week and look for work if you have no job. From day 90, if you are active in your recovery, you stop signing in and out, and your curfew is later. From day 150, there is no curfew and no set wake-up time, and you work full time or study. After a year, the rules mostly lift.

We recommend a minimum stay of one year, then as long as you can.
