House Rules

The Ascent Collective House Rules & Guidelines

At The Ascent Collective, our rules are designed to create a safe, structured, and supportive space where residents can focus fully on their recovery. Our goal is to maintain an environment that promotes accountability, personal growth, and long-term sobriety.

Smoking & Vaping

  • Smoking and vaping are allowed only in designated outdoor areas.
  • Absolutely no smoking or vaping is permitted inside the homes.

Pets

  • Pets are not allowed to live on-site full-time.
  • Visiting pets are welcome for brief visits but cannot stay overnight or reside in the homes.

Visitors

  • Family and friends are welcome to visit and spend time in the common areas.
  • Significant others or spouses may visit in shared spaces but are not permitted in residents’ bedrooms.

House Expectations

  • Residents agree to participate in regular drug and alcohol testing (urinalysis and breathalyzer) to ensure a sober living environment.
  • Each resident is responsible for keeping personal and shared spaces clean and attending weekly house meetings.
  • We expect all residents to treat others with respect, maintain personal accountability, and contribute to a positive community culture.

Zero-Tolerance Policy

To protect the safety and sobriety of our community, we enforce a strict zero-tolerance policy:

  • No drugs or alcohol on the property
  • No weapons of any kind
  • No violence or fighting

Violation of these policies will result in immediate dismissal from the home.

These guidelines are in place to help every resident focus on building a life of stability, growth, and freedom from addiction. We are committed to providing a safe place to recover, rebuild, and rise.
