RECOGNIZING RECOVERY LIGHTHOUSE
______
HON. VICKY HARTZLER
of missouri
in the house of representatives
Thursday, November 4, 2021
Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an amazing group, Recovery Lighthouse in Warrensburg, Missouri.
Founded in 2006 by Dr. Adriatik Likcani and the late Mr. Douglas Quirmbach, the organization began as a drop-in counseling center for individuals and families in the Warrensburg area. Today, Recovery Lighthouse offers outpatient counseling in Warrensburg and Sedalia. The organization also runs five long-term sober-living houses, the first of which was LIME Tree, a house for women in recovery. They now have two houses for women, two for women and children, and one for men, with another men’s house opening soon. These houses give those in recovery a place to continue their sobriety, hold a job, and build interpersonal relationships until they are ready to live on their own.
Recovery Lighthouse offers training and development courses for their staff to provide them with the necessary tools to better understand what it takes to provide treatment and recovery support for individuals. This, along with partnering with their community to advocate for recovery, are just a few of the ways Recovery Lighthouse stays true to their mission of providing people with as much support as possible in a safe and caring environment.
Recovery Lighthouse is a truly wonderful organization working to help communities in Missouri’s Fourth Congressional District overcome substance-use disorders and provide for them a helping hand along the path to full recovery. I commend Dr. Likcani and all the staff for implementing such a life-changing program and look forward to seeing them impact their communities for years to come.
