We are an abstinence-based supported housing initiative and in signing the licence agreement an individual is agreeing to abide by the House Rules, which prohibit the taking of alcohol, drugs, or any mood altering substance. By signing this Agreement the service users are agreeing to be randomly drug and/or alcohol tested as and when requested, and agree to provide a urine sample whilst being supervised by a member of staff. If the service user fails to supply a urine sample, refuses to be tested or gives a positive reading, or any other proof of the use of alcohol or drugs is evident, the service users agree to the immediate termination of their Licence Agreement and further agree to leave the premises immediately or as soon as the Management require them to do so. If Other Tenants become Aware of a Relapse the service user should contact a member of the Support Team immediately unless the person is violent or seriously ill, in which case contact the relevant emergency service first. In the circumstance that the relapse occurs at night, call the Out of Hours On-Call number (as above) and if the person is agreeable and co-operative and not a threat to other members of the house, they may stay in their room until the morning when the management will assist them to leave and if possible help to find alternative accommodation.
