Heritage Haus for Men is a faith-based structured, peer-supported, substance-free recovery home for adult men (18+) ready to do the emotional and spiritual work of lasting recovery — rebuilding self-esteem, healing from codependency, committed to workforce readiness, and developing the healthy relationships and boundaries that sustain long-term change.
Recovery readiness. He is committed to sobriety and ready for a community-based, social-model setting rather than a clinical one, agreeing to maintain abstinence from non-prescribed substances as a condition of residency, including random and for-cause drug testing. As a non-clinical residence, Heritage Haus provides no on-site medical, detox, or medication-assisted treatment services and is best suited for men who are medically stable, have completed detox, and do not require 24/7 supervision; residents safely store and self-administer any medications legally prescribed by their own outside providers.
Commitment to growth. He wants more than abstinence — he is motivated to rebuild self-esteem, work through codependency and relationship patterns, and develop healthy communication, boundaries, and life skills.
Willingness to participate. He engages in the structure that makes the home work: house meetings, chores, curfews and phased privileges, peer support, mutual-aid involvement, and productive daily activity such as work, education, or volunteering.
Respect and accountability. He lives cooperatively in a shared, family-like household — treating others with respect, following house and good-neighbor rules, and contributing to a safe, substance-free environment — while working toward individual recovery goals and meeting the financial terms of residency.
In short, the ideal Heritage Haus resident is a man ready to stay sober, ready to do the deeper work of self-esteem and healthy relationships, and willing to be part of a brotherhood of accountability.
