Level 1 is designed to help you build a steady and supportive foundation as you begin your journey. This phase offers structure and guidance, but the most important part is that you’re choosing to show up for yourself and invest in a healthier future.

What This Phase Looks Like:

• Job Search Choosing to invest in your future means dedicating time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM toward actively looking for employment.

• Evening Curfew: Curfew is set at 8:00 PM, but you’re welcome to attend an 8:00 PM 12-step meeting if you go with other house residents. These shared experiences can help build connection and accountability.

• 12-Step Meetings: You’re encouraged to attend one 12-step meeting each day, for a total of seven per week. These meetings are powerful tools for support, healing, and growth. While only the house meeting counts toward your total, each one is an opportunity to invest in yourself.

• Weekends: Saturdays and Sundays are a time to stay focused and continue building momentum. Submitting 10 online job applications each day keeps that momentum going, even when the week winds down.

Weekend Blackout Period:

In this early stage, weekend activities are limited to 12-step meetings. This is often referred to as a “blackout period,” but it’s really just a focused time to settle in, stay grounded, and avoid distractions as you build strength in your recovery.

Progressing to Level 2:

When you’ve secured a job and can provide a clock-in slip or time record from your first day, you’ll meet the requirements to move into Level 2, where you’ll have more freedom and flexibility, including lifted weekend restrictions.

Remember: None of this is about perfection—it’s about progress. Each choice you make here helps you create a life rooted in clarity, purpose, and recovery. We’re here to walk with you every step of the way.

Level 2 is about deepening your commitment to recovery and continuing to build healthy routines. By reaching this stage, you've already shown initiative—and now you have the opportunity to create even more stability, purpose, and connection in your life.

What This Phase Looks Like:

• Curfew: Curfew is set at 8:00 PM, though you may attend an 8:00 PM meeting if accompanied by house residents. This maintains structure while still giving you access to meaningful recovery support.

• 12-Step Meetings: You’re encouraged to continue your daily commitment by attending seven 12-step meetings per week. Only one meeting per day counts toward your weekly total. However, if you choose to attend church on Sunday, both church and the house meeting may count as two meetings for that day.

• Accountability in Recovery: In this phase, you’re expected to take a more active role in your recovery by:

  • Getting a sponsor

  • Choosing a home group

  • Attending your home group’s business meeting

  These steps help you build lasting connections and deepen your support network.

• Financial Responsibility: Being current on rent with no outstanding balance is part of demonstrating personal accountability and readiness for the next phase.

• Passes: While overnight passes are not yet available at this level, you're continuing to show you can maintain focus and structure during your recovery journey.

Moving Forward:

Once you’ve met all Level 2 requirements, you’ll be eligible to transition into Level 3—a phase that brings more personal freedom and continued growth. Remember, this isn’t about rushing the process; it’s about making steady, intentional choices that support the life you're working to build.

You're not just moving through a program—you’re building a life you can be proud of. And we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Level 3 represents a major milestone in your recovery journey. You’ve built structure, accepted accountability, and taken ownership of your growth. Now, you’re stepping into a phase with more flexibility—while continuing to live in alignment with your values and commitments.

What This Phase Looks Like:

• Curfew:

  • 10:00 PM Sunday through Thursday

  • 11:00 PM Friday and Saturday
    This structure gives you flexibility while still honoring healthy routines.

• 12-Step or Recovery Meetings:
  You're expected to attend seven (7) meetings per week, which can include 12-step meetings, church, or other recovery-based groups. Both church and the house meeting count as one each.

  Unlike previous levels, you may now count multiple meetings in one day toward your weekly total.
  (For example: Church and house meeting on Sunday = 2. If you attend 3 meetings on Monday, you’re already at 5 out of 7.)

• Active Recovery Participation:

  • Maintain regular contact with your sponsor

  • Stay involved in your home group

  • Attend business meetings
    This continued involvement helps you stay grounded and connected.

• Overnight Passes:
  You are now eligible for two (2) overnight passes per month, which must be requested at least 48 hours in advance and are subject to approval.

• Financial Accountability:
  Remaining current on rent and having no outstanding balance is expected at this level. It’s a reflection of your continued commitment and responsibility.

Looking Ahead:

Once you’ve successfully met all Level 3 expectations and have maintained 6 months of continuous sobriety, you’ll be eligible to move into Level 4—the final phase before full independence.

Level 3 is about living recovery with integrity, not just following structure but owning it. You’ve earned more freedom because you’ve shown the ability to manage it. The choices you make now reflect who you're becoming—grounded, responsible, and committed to a better life.

You’ve come a long way. Keep showing up, keep doing the work, and trust the process—you’re building something real and lasting.

Level 4 is the final phase of the program and a powerful reflection of how far you’ve come. At this stage, you’ve developed structure, accountability, and consistency—and now you’re preparing to take those tools with you as you move toward greater independence. This phase is about continuing to show up for your recovery while beginning to lead more confidently and intentionally in your own life.

What This Phase Looks Like:

• Curfew:

  • 10:00 PM Sunday through Thursday

  • 12:00 AM (Midnight) Friday and Saturday
    This extended curfew reflects the trust you’ve earned and your ability to maintain balance and responsibility.

• 12-Step Meeting Commitment:
  You’re expected to attend five (5) 12-step or recovery-based meetings per week.

  • Church and the house meeting each count toward your weekly total.

  • You may attend multiple meetings in one day to meet your weekly goal.
    For example: If you attend both church and the house meeting on Sunday, that’s 2. If you go to 3 meetings on Monday, you’ve already met your weekly 5.

• Ongoing Recovery Involvement:

  • Maintain regular contact with your sponsor

  • Stay active in your home group

  • Attend your group’s business meetings
    These continued commitments help keep you grounded and connected as you grow.

• Overnight Passes:
  You are now eligible for up to four (4) overnight passes per month.

  • Passes must be requested at least 48 hours in advance

  • All passes are subject to staff approval

• Financial Responsibility:
  You are expected to remain current on rent with no outstanding balance, reinforcing your continued accountability and independence.

Looking Ahead:

Level 4 is about stepping into the life you’ve worked hard to build. You’ve proven you can live with integrity, make sound decisions, and stay committed to your recovery. This is your time to lead by example, support others, and prepare for what comes next—whether that’s transitioning out of the program, living independently, or taking the next step in your personal journey.

You’ve come a long way—now, you get to live the life you’ve been working for.

At this stage, you're demonstrating not just the ability to maintain stability—but the kind of responsibility that prepares you for full independence. Staying current on rent with no outstanding balance is part of honoring your growth, commitment, and readiness to take the next step in life.

As part of our continued support, One12 Recovery keeps a rent payment log for your entire stay. Upon completing the program, we’ll provide you with a personalized rental history summary that you can share with future landlords or housing programs. This record reflects your ability to:

• Pay rent on time

• Follow through with commitments

• Successfully complete a structured recovery program

In addition, we’re proud to offer a letter of recommendation upon request—whether for housing, employment, or any other opportunities where a reference of your growth and commitment could support your success.

This isn’t just about what you’ve done here—it’s about what’s ahead. We believe in your future, and we’re committed to helping you step into it with confidence, tools, and the support you’ve earned.
