A clear and consistent standard helps build trust—and at HOPE House, zero tolerance for substance use establishes the safety, accountability, and transparency that recovery depends on.
Clarity Creates Confidence
When expectations are fair but firm—enforced through random drug testing and accountability checks—residents know exactly where they stand. That clarity encourages respect, focus, and mutual support—qualities that become the norm.
Structure Supports Growth
Zero tolerance isn’t about punishment—it’s about creating an environment where healing and personal growth can happen without question or hesitation.
Supported by Research
In a community built on shared goals, zero tolerance provides the clear foundation that helps everyone keep moving forward—together.
