Colorado Clean Paths Good Neighbor Policy

It is crucial to the long term success of any recovering person to adopt a new set of skills for approaching a life of recovery.  One of the most important is being a part of a community and adopting certain pro-neighbor attitudes and behaviors – along the lines of “Love thy neighbor as thy self”.

You represent yourself and our house, you should do so in such a manner that you exude excellence and humility.  Be proud that you are overcoming an addiction, but humble in your attitude toward others. You represent our home. Our goal is to give you a chance to overcome your obstacles and get set for a clean and sober life.  We plan to be here for generations.  Think and act beyond yourself. You represent recovering addicts everywhere.  The stigma of addiction remains despite decades of public education.  Although community members support your recovery, people still struggle with recovery residences being located in their neighborhood.  A part of your mission is to demonstrate the strength and character it takes to change for the better. 

The following guidelines will help you to live in harmony with our neighbors and to demonstrate excellent recovery behaviors

• No shouting or any loud noise or music
• 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM is considered quiet time in and around our location
• Smoking and Vaping is permitted in designated areas only, and disposal of cigarettes only in appropriate containers. 
• Do not litter on or around our properties, or neighbor properties (including streets and alley ways) with cigarette butts or other debris
• Greet and introduce yourself to your neighbors as appropriate
• Keep yard and outside porches and overhangs clear and free of clutter and trash.
• Keep yards well maintained regularly and have sidewalks and walkways clear and clean

All parking is assigned by the Household. Parking is allowed in the driveway, and on streets adjacent to the property. If additional parking space is necessary, it must be in compliance with town/city ordinances and NOT intrusive to neighbors; alternate your parking location, do not crowd neighbors who already have multiple parked cars, do not park non-operational vehicles in the neighborhood.
