DID YOU KNOW? Most people suffering from addiction have destroyed personal and financial relationships by the time they seek treatment. Recovering people start with little or no money or supportive relationships. It is difficult for them to become self-sufficient while relearning and maintaining basic life skills. We provide housing at lnvictus Woods (men), Prospect House (men), and Circle House (women). We also help them secure essential documents needed to gain employment, and most importantly, we provide an understanding and supportive house group in which they can rebuild their self-confidence and new self-image.

HOW TO HELP Our organization needs community edu cation and acceptance about this disease, and financial support for our residents in recovery. Tax-deductible contributions can he mailed to the above address. Learn about more opportunities to get involved at www.invictuswoods.com. Funds help support the initial living expenses until clients find gainful employment.

VISION To help educate our community about the disease of addiction. To break the si lence and end the stigma. It is a disease, not a disgrace. VISION We believe every human being has innate worth and deserves dignity. Our clients suffer from a chronic disease that is scorned by others who do not understand that addiction is an illness, not a choice. We offer nonjudgmental support to those people who are trying to live a sober and productive life. WHAT WE DO We provide housing and support for men andwomenwhowant tocontinue their road to recovery after they have successfully completed inpatient treatment. We offer a safe and sober home as they regain their ability to live and function as sober, productive members of society.
