Ritual Living is a structured recovery program that emphasizes spirituality, daily rituals, and community. Through onsite guidance and a supportive environment, residents grow together by sharing experiences and holding each other accountable on the path to lasting sobriety.
Men committed to sobriety and personal growth are welcome to apply. A phone interview with the individual is required to ensure our program is the right fit. At least 10 days of detox is typically needed before entry.
What are the rules?
Participants must adhere to sobriety, respect others and our home, and engage in daily rituals for personal and communal growth.
How long is the program?
We ask for a minimum 3-month commitment, though each person’s journey is unique. Rooted in the 12-step approach, our experience shows that those who stay longer and fully engage in the process tend to build stronger, lasting sobriety.
Does the house provide Food?
While our program does not provide meals, this is an intentional part of our approach. We believe in empowering men to take ownership of their daily lives including cooking and meal preparation as a vital step toward independence and self-responsibility. Rather than being enabled, our residents are equipped with the tools and support needed to grow in confidence and capability.
Does Ritual Living provide transportation?
Our program does not provide regular transportation, as we prioritize building independence and self-sufficiency. Carpooling to sober events and meetings is encouraged, and in rare urgent cases like court dates, job interviews, or medical appointments transportation can be arranged.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you ensure accountability in the home?
We conduct daily breathalyzer tests and random weekly drug screenings using advanced 24-panel forensic cups with adulterant detection ensuring a safe and sober environment, especially for today’s evolving challenges in addiction.
Do you allow dogs?
While we love dogs and understand the comfort they bring, our program does not allow residents to bring pets. In a communal living environment, there are too many variables—such as other residents, shared spaces, and existing family-owned dogs on the property—that make it difficult to ensure the safety and well-being of all animals involved. It’s a responsibility we’re not equipped to manage without risking unintended harm or conflict. We appreciate your understanding.
While we don’t currently offer regular in-house recovery meetings, we’re not opposed to them. Over the years, we've hosted long-running meditation groups and Big Book studies when there’s been strong resident interest. Currently, we hold weekly one-on-one accountability meetings between each resident and management. We’ve also hosted coed bonfire meetings with great success, and we always welcome resident initiative to bring that energy back into the home.
