About Amended Recovery House – Hollywood
In Hollywood, Florida, only 11 minutes drive from the nearby Holywood beach, Amended Recovery House operates a sober living home for men. Amended Recovery’s mission is to provide men with a safe environment in which they can recover peacefully and lay the foundations for a stable future.
The facility is set up to be as homelike as possible, right down to the fee structure. The amenities include washers and dryers to allow residents to do their own laundry, WiFi, lounge areas, shared rooms, as well as parking bays for residents with cars. Residents are required to pay $250 weekly rent and must follow the house rules for the duration of their stay in the home.
Amended Recovery strongly suggests that residents stay in the house for at least four months to give them the best possible chance at sustained sobriety. While living in the house, one is required to follow Amended Recovery’s program, which starts with the completion of the 12 Steps of Sobriety with a sponsor.
For the first 60 days, they also ask for complete dedication to the program and strongly discourage active dating. The program also requires that a person find employment (if they don’t have it already) as soon as possible to give them a way to earn, contribute, and keep themselves busy. The program also includes house meetings as well as retreats with other residents.
The rules in the house are designed to keep residents engaged with the program and with each other. There is a strict zero tolerance policy on any mind or mood altering substances which they enforce with regular testing. As a resident, this can keep you on the road to recovery and keep you safe if one of your housemates suffers a relapse.
