Why Our Program is Successful.

Early recovery is a very delicate time to develop a new way of living. Being part of a recovery home is a wonderful opportunity to learn how to live in a family, and home like setting. Maybe you have been isolating for a long time. Or maybe you’ve only been around people actively using and living that chaotic lifestyle. Some folks haven’t lived with any structure for a very long time. Living in a New Foundations Recovery home can provide that structure and experience to get back into the swing of living more of what is considered to be a normal lifestyle.

Admission

How can you refer someone to us?

It’s simple, call our intake line at 513-813-2787 and complete an assessment interview. We will go over our program, rules, expectations and make sure you understand and feel that you would be a good fit.  

Intake

What are the expectations?

After the assessment call, we will inform you of your move in costs, give you the address to your recovery home and set up a time to meet your house manager to complete your intake process.

Upon arrival at your new home, the first thing you’ll do is submit a urine sample for a drug screen. The drug screen fee is $20 and that will be collected before you submit your urine sample for the 14 panel drug screen.

Once you have passed your drug screen, we will need to search you and your belongings to make sure you are not bringing in anything that could be unsafe or of risk, whether you’re aware of it or not.

We will then place all of your cloth belongings in the dryer on high heat. This is a method we use to prevent any bed bugs coming into the homes. We need you to bring $1.50 in quarters to your intake for this reason.
