Residents of Jewish Recovery Houses must be Jewish. Upon admission to our recovery houses, residents must be proven to be drug and alcohol free. The tests used are sensitive and recent use will cause a positive that will disqualify an applicant.
Residents are then introduced into a moderately structured living environment which requires the following:
