  • Medically stable; not in need of acute medical withdrawal management (detox) or skilled nursing care.
  • Willing and able to take part in an unlocked, voluntary recovery home.
  • Documented risk of relapse, or functional impairment in self-care, housing stability or medication adherence, within the past 90 days.

  • Active acute psychosis or dementia.
  • Active suicidal or homicidal intent requiring acute inpatient hospitalization.
  • Severe medical fragility requiring hospital-level nursing care.
  • Active acute withdrawal requiring inpatient medical detox.
