Definitely, mine was a bit more relaxed, no staff at weekend or evenings etc, people would stay over. Other ones I was referred too were very strict, front doors bolt locked at 9pm etc.There are loads of different types for various issues. They have varying degrees of independece / support / staffing levels. Some have lots of rules. Some are a free for all. Some have high risk service users with high support needs. Some dont. Depending on the project he could be eaten alive or he could be some poor cunts worst nightmare himself. Bare in mind he's being referred through homelessness not one of the ones funded by social services
I wasn't a very well person back in the day. It did help but more of a traumatic experience
