Resident guidelines
House Rules
These guidelines exist to protect everyone in our community. By choosing Diamond Sober Living, you agree to uphold these standards — for yourself and for your neighbors on this journey.
At Diamond Sober Living, our house rules are built on one foundation: mutual respect. A safe, sober environment only works when every resident commits to the same standards. Please read these rules carefully and reach out to staff with any questions.
