Liberty Place Recovery Center for Women

Overview

Liberty Place Recovery Center for Women is a long-term substance abuse recovery program for women. This program provides services for women recovering from drug and alcohol addiction. This 108-bed residential substance abuse facility is centrally located on Lake Street in Richmond. Liberty Place works to restore opportunities to thousands of women by preparing them to lead sober, stable and productive lives. Services provided are free of charge to clients. This project is a joint effort by the Kentucky Housing Corporation, the Governor\'s Office for Local Development, the Department of Corrections, and the FHLBank of Cincinnati to build housing recovery centers across the state. Liberty Place meets the needs of women in KY\'s 6th Congressional District (Anderson, Bourbon, Boyle, Clark, Estill, Fayette, Franklin, Garrard, Jessamine, Lincoln, Madison, Mercer, Montgomery, Powell, Scott and Woodford counties). As a transitional supportive housing development, Liberty Place uses a recovery program model that includes peer support, daily living skills training, job responsibilities and challenges to practice sober living. This type of supportive housing and recovery program is proven to help people who face the most complex challenges to live more stable, productive lives. It has been demonstrated successfully by The Hope Center in Lexington and The Healing Place in Louisville.
