Liberty Place Recovery Center for Women is a long-term substance abuse recovery facility for women.  Liberty Place provides support and hope for women recovering from drug and alcohol addiction.

The 100-bed residential substance abuse recovery center 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. 

Liberty Place meets the needs of women in the 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 unique 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.

There are three living phases in this program, - Safe off the Streets, Motivational Tracks 1 & 2, and Transitional Housing.  

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.

The Recovery Kentucky program emerged in January 2005 in response to the Governor’s Drug Summit Task Force’s assessment that recovery programs were essential if Kentucky was to address the escalating drug epidemic facing all regions of the state. The goal of the program is to have at least two centers in each congressional district. Half of the centers are for women and half for men. Residents must make the commitment to overcome their addictions, be over the age of 18 and be homeless or at risk of becoming homeless to participate.

Operating funds come from the Kentucky Governors Office for Local Development (GOLD), the Kentucky Department of Corrections and the City of Richmond Project Based Section 8.The Center, which is part of the City of Richmond’s Linden Street Revitalization effort, is also supported by the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati and Section 8.
