1 THE LODGE PHILOSOPHY We at THE LODGE believe that every recovering person has a responsibility to themselves and to the community not to become or remain a burden to society. We believe that every person in recovery needs to give back what they have gotten, and our view is that no person shall sit in a bedroom and be sedentary. THE LODGE insists that every tenant be employed within two weeks of residence or be engaged in meaningful and structured volunteer work. We are committed to assisting residents in finding employment and or directing them to those charities that need help. In addition, each resident of THE LODGE must have a sponsor and commit to attending?? AA/NA/CA meetings a week. Every tenant of THE LODGE must comply with this philosophy or find another place to reside. It is our sincere hope and desire that all who pass through our doors goes on to a better life, one filled with promise, self gratification and love. We cannot accomplish these goals by isolating; we need people and there are so many people that need us. We hope that THE LODGE will be the beacon that guides you to a bright future. Staffed by professionals who walk the walk, we are 100% dedicated to providing the means for men willing to do what it takes to change their lives and remain alcohol and drug free. Let us be a small part of your success. Jim Tichy Jim Tichy Ron Smyth Ron Smyth
