Private-pay sober living
Prepare for a SouthHouse fit call without drifting into insurance or treatment claims.
Use this checklist to organize monthly rent/residency questions, house rules, signed resident agreement expectations, timing, and move-in readiness before a family contacts SouthHouse.
SouthHouse is sober living for women. Residents pay rent or monthly residency-style charges, sign a house agreement, and follow sobriety expectations such as breathalyzer or testing rules. This page is decision support only and does not offer medical, legal, insurance, detox, clinical, or landlord/tenant advice.
What to clarify
Keep the conversation around fit, rules, payment readiness, and timing.
That gives Lola, Matt, or a VA a safer intake support path: useful enough for families, but still clear that final terms and contract language must come from SouthHouse directly.
Money clarity
Monthly rent or residency payment, move-in amount, deposit, what is included, and any current terms that must be confirmed directly.
House agreement
Signed rules, rent expectations, testing expectations, medication self-administration boundaries, and what would make the fit wrong.
SouthHouse classification
Keep the page useful without making insurance, care-level, or contract promises.
Families often arrive with the wrong mental model. This section keeps the page anchored to sober-living residency: clear enough to guide a fit call, careful enough to avoid treatment or insurance positioning.
What it is
Private-pay sober living for women: monthly rent or residency-style payments, signed house rules, sobriety expectations, and recovery-house accountability.
What it is not
Insurance billing, detox, treatment, therapy, clinical care, medication administration, medical advice, legal advice, or a standard landlord/tenant workflow.
What to ask next
Current monthly rent or residency payment, move-in amount, payment process, signed resident agreement expectations, testing or breathalyzer rules, and visit timing.
First-call prep
Questions to have ready before the first SouthHouse call.
SouthHouse is private-pay sober living for women. The first conversation should stay practical: fit, timing, monthly rent or residency expectations, signed house rules, sobriety accountability, and what a next step would look like.

What kind of living environment is needed?
Keep the first call focused on sober living, structure, accountability, shared-house expectations, and whether SouthHouse sounds like the right fit.
Is private-pay residency understood?
SouthHouse does not bill insurance for residency. Confirm current rent/residency cost, move-in amount, deposit, payment timing, refund terms, and availability directly before relying on them.
Which house-rule topics matter most?
Ask about signed rules, sobriety expectations, testing or breathalyzer expectations, visitors, curfew, chores, accountability, and move-in readiness.
What needs escalation before answering?
Escalate pricing, deposits, refunds, availability, contract interpretation, legal language, resident status, medication, safety concerns, detox, treatment, therapy, clinical care, insurance, or sensitive resident information.
Use these questions to prepare for a fit-focused call. Keep personal details limited until SouthHouse confirms the right next step. SouthHouse is sober living / recovery housing, not detox, treatment, therapy, clinical care, medication administration, medical advice, legal advice, insurance billing, or a standard landlord/tenant workflow.
Resident and family FAQ
A quick reset before families call SouthHouse.
Families often need one practical reminder before the first call: SouthHouse is private-pay sober living for women, not insurance-based treatment. Keep questions focused on fit, rent/residency payment readiness, rules, timing, and the approved next step.
Is SouthHouse a treatment program?
No. SouthHouse is private-pay sober living / recovery housing for women. It should not be described as detox, treatment, therapy, clinical care, medication administration, medical billing, or insurance billing.
What should a family ask before a visit?
Ask practical fit questions: current monthly rent or residency payment, move-in amount, signed house rules, breathalyzer or testing expectations, visitor and curfew expectations, transportation, timing, and who should join the first call.
Can this page quote exact contract terms?
No. Current pricing, deposit, refund, late-fee, availability, bed-hold, legal, contract, admission, discharge, or enforcement language must be confirmed by Matt or SouthHouse before public use.
What should stay out of the first inquiry?
Do not collect diagnosis, treatment history, medication details, legal history, insurance details, Social Security numbers, withdrawal or safety details, or other sensitive resident information from this public prep path.
What is the safest next step?
Use the page to prepare a short fit-focused question list, then confirm current policy, availability, payment details, and agreement language directly through the approved SouthHouse path.
This FAQ is public preparation only. It does not quote or change SouthHouse contract language, guarantee admission, finalize price or availability, collect resident-sensitive information, or provide medical, legal, insurance, detox, treatment, therapy, clinical-care, or medication advice.
Rules and testing
House rules and testing expectations at SouthHouse.
SouthHouse is private-pay sober living for women. The rules are meant to keep the home structured, sober, accountable, and clear before move-in.
Why does SouthHouse use signed rules?
Signed rules keep expectations clear before residency begins. They give residents, families, and the house a shared reference point for structure, accountability, and daily living.
What expectations should someone ask about?
Ask about sobriety expectations, testing or breathalyzer expectations, visitors, curfew, chores, meetings or recovery-support commitments, respectful conduct, and move-in readiness.
Is this treatment or medical care?
No. SouthHouse is sober living and recovery housing. It is not detox, treatment, therapy, clinical care, medication administration, insurance billing, or medical billing.
Can the website quote exact rule language?
No. Current agreement language, deposits, rent, refunds, late fees, availability, discharge terms, and legal wording should be confirmed directly with SouthHouse or Matt.
What should be escalated?
Escalate pricing, legal or contract interpretation, resident status, medications, safety concerns, detox or treatment needs, clinical questions, insurance questions, and sensitive resident information.
This section is general sober-living expectation preparation only. It does not modify the SouthHouse contract, quote exact legal terms, promise admission, guarantee outcomes, provide medical or legal advice, collect resident data, or answer pricing and availability questions.
