Liberty House Structure Breakdown
Liberty House structure is always flexible and able to bend. It can encompass most individuals and their work schedules. It is highly effective and is geared toward the changes residents need to make in order to attain long term sobriety. Larry & Perry worked hard at making this structure encompass individuals and surround them and their every move. It fosters surrender, open mindedness and willingness (Steps 1, 2 & 3). It also encourages change by getting individuals to look at themselves, (Steps 4 & 5) and then to seek alternative courses of action which is what we learn in Steps 6 & 7.
Since individuals are living and learning how to interact like a family and care about one another, when harm is done a resident wants to make restitution (Step 8 & 9) to the other house member, and finally family members, co-workers and employers. Essays help the residents to work Step 10 by getting them to look at their individual conduct and behavior each day. The morning goal group helps the residents focus on Step 11 and implementing that days reading into that days affairs. Step 12 is also worked daily by residents in supporting one another on outings and personal business, one on one’s and commitments at 12-step meetings. Sponsorship comes after graduation.
After a period of time, usually about a year an individual who has been working this program day in and day out is given an Exit Plan. Many of our residents who have completed a year in the facility can run circles around individuals in outside 12-step meetings with 3-5 years. They know as much about themselves and have solutions that can address any problem they may face as they exit the house. They have worked the 12-steps and have incorporated the principles of the 12-steps into their daily lives. They are truly inspirations to watch grow and change. To see the restoration of the family, to experience it to see God working in these peoples lives. Anyway, after this period of time our residents will simply change where they are sleeping, and continue doing what they have learned.
They move out with other sober members who they have bonded with and continue on with their lives, goals, work, professional trades or entrepreneurship with a different sense of confidence and a changed perception of the world around them.
Liberty House is an amazing place, and should be allowed to continue on with the work it has been doing for the last 12 years, and Larry should be left alone because he has helped thousands of people through the structure of New Life House, 4th Street House, (now Miracle House), Liberty House, The Discovery Program and the newest endeavor, The Liberty Ranch based in Kentucky. Our graduates and family members continue on this path with the inspiration and insight they attained while participating in the recovery related activities inside the facilities.
