Guidance

All recovery residences are found on social model recovery philosophy, which highlights the importance of peer leadership. As residents make recovery gains, they are rewarded with more responsibilities. Level III and IV recovery residences, as well as some large Level IIs, can have complex or hierarchical staffing plans that can undermine resident leadership unless it is mindfully cultivated.

Evaluation

  • Do they have written job descriptions for staff and/or resident leadership that includes the role description, responsibilities, guidelines and/or feedback?

Evidence

  • Policy and procedure

  • Staff / Peer leadership role description
