Length of Stay

Residents are encouraged to live in Vineyard House for at least a year and are asked for a minimum six-month commitment. The maximum length of stay is eighteen months. Although it is difficult to profile a “typical” resident experience, there are certain facts that remain constant with most of them:

• It takes our typical resident as long as their first thirty days in the house to acclimate to the day-to-day routine.

• By the ninety day mark, individuals have established a network of acquaintances from the 12 step meetings they have been attending.

• For the remainder of their stay, an individual will help themselves further by helping the newcomer who has recently entered the house.

• And the cycle goes on.
