Our Vision We worked very hard for over a year to develop a program to help people in recovery. This program was developed with the help of many professionals from several different agencies with diverse backgrounds from addiction to judicial to mental health, etc.. This program has been instrumental in helping the guys at the Lighthouse develop a longterm program that fits their needs and situation to maintain a longterm and even permanent life of sobriety. Our goal was to create a program that would serve a wide variety of people, backgrounds and addictions, a program that could be easily replicated in other environments and we think we have accomplished that because to date even with a very small staff we have a had a success rate well above the national average. Originally we only served about 25 participants at a time now we serve well over fifty across three locations. Five years ago we expanded our services to our participants by offering a Graduate House service. This Graduate House was for those who had graduated, had a desire to move on to the next step of independent living but due to challenges this goal was prohibited by financial distress, bad credit, judicial challenges or other obstacles. We have been able to partner with two different property owners to lease two residential homes. This new service offering has been very successful for our participants and for the property owners alike. Our Goals • Secure a permanent building. Currently we rent a 25 room house that serves our needs but we need a place that we own. • We have partnered with Jeff Errett of The Architects’ Studio and Doug Shirack of Ranack General Contractors to design an incredible state of the art Sober Living House. This building will be the pinnacle of what a sober living home should be. Our list of partners and donors for this project is continually growing and we invte you to join the list of supporters and donors. • Open a house for women, currently there are no sober living houses in Larimer County for women. Our current model is not gender specific and should work just as well in an all female environment. Ideally this house would be large enough for at least 10 women with possible room for expansion. • Open a graduate house for women. Just like the mens house but for women. • Open a Crisis house for participants in our other houses that suffer a minor relapse and need a safe place with a higher level of accountability to recover before they can be allowed to re- enter the program. This house would probably need to be able to support about 10 beds. • Start a campus where we will have a sober living house for men and another for women, a crisis center, a counseling center, a vocational training center, multiple graduate houses, felon friendly apartments, more, much, much more…this would become a community for recovery! • Ultimately, replicate this process in other cities and other countries…
