LI-BER-T House services are available to women who have no safe housing alternative after completing an addiction treatment program. At the same time, we offer external consultation services to women who have a safe place to live but want to reinforce their sobriety with a reintegration plan geared specifically to their needs. Women who are ready to change their lifestyles and patterns, and to become independent and self-sufficient members of our society.
Each client is eligible for up to six months of housing (or more, if needed) as long as they remain abstinent from drugs/alcohol, pay their monthly stipend and actively participate in back to work/back to school programs.
LI-BER-T House offers dependency counselling, mentoring, community resource support and tailored services and programs to meet the specific needs of each client.
