2010 By-Laws

THE SAFE HAVEN CLUB was formed to provide a social club for members as well as a place for various substance abuse groups to meet and learn to live a life that leads to and maintains recovery from substance abuse. It is intended to be for all substance abusers who seek recovery and want to stay free from mind-altering substances. Any substance abuse group that wishes to hold meetings or a social event at the Safe Haven Club may do so after approval by the Board of Trustees.

THE SAFE HAVEN CLUB is a separate entity from any substance abuse group.

THE SAFE HAVEN CLUB is not intended to be a detox institution, nor is it intended to be a “relapse haven.” We believe that the premises of the club should be a sanctuary in which members can enjoy and share their recovery. Any person who interrupts his/her recovery by using a mind-altering substance forfeits the right to admission to the premises of the Club, since he/she cannot help, but may hinder the recovery of others present. It is the duty of EACH and EVERY member to refuse admission to a former member should they seek admission while under the influence of any mind-altering substances. The former member is automatically reinstated when he/she discontinues the use of mind-altering substance and wishes to continue striving for recovery. Since a person who seeks help for the first time is not a former member, the forgoing does not apply.

THE SAFE HAVEN CLUB is also a business concern. Several hundreds of dollars are invested in it. Therefore, it is necessary to have house rules and By-Laws. These cover the use of mind-altering substances, personal conduct in the Club, payment of dues, etc, and must be observed if the club is to continue to operate for the purpose in which it is intended.

We ask that you read the House Rules and By-laws carefully and understand them thoroughly… so that we may protect the best interests of the majority. Those who cannot or will not conform will be denied privileges of the Club.

In accordance with the traditions of substance abuse groups, there are no dues or fees for membership in any group that meets in THE SAFE HAVEN CLUB, however, we have provided a beautiful Club for the enjoyment of all members in the Lynchburg area, and the bills must be paid. We ask each member who uses this facility to look over the facility and the operation and purpose of this Club, and to “take his/her own inventory.”


MEMBERSHIP IS OPEN TO ANY MEMBER OF ANY RECOGNIZED SUBSTANCE ABUSE GROUP.
