Welcome to the interactive website designed by people in recovery to support people in recovery. Whether you are seeking support for mental health concerns, addiction concerns, or a combination of the 2, for yourself or a loved one, you have found a place to explore all of your issues and concerns without judgement or expectation.

If you are an individual actively using substances, gambling, playing video games, watching pornography, or shopping excessively, the list is endless of those that can find what they are looking for right here at The Liberation Place. For those of you looking for support with depression, anxiety, or any other mental health concern you may be dealing with, The Liberation Place is designed to support your unique and individual needs.

Addiction and mental health issues often drive a wedge right through the middle of any family unit, causing parents to argue, siblings to feel abandoned and leaves the loved one with the addiction feeling alienated and misunderstood. If this is an issue for you and your family, we strive to work within the family unit, collectively and individually, to reunite those that have separated and promote a healthy living environment that fosters respect and understanding for all. We do this while developing healthy boundaries within the home that offer peace and serenity where chaos once was.

Up until this point, the general consensus from most people in the field of addiction and mental health support was, to achieve a successful sustainable recovery, it was necessary to remove the problem from the person and/or the environment. As individuals, we were taught to do this by ignoring our thoughts and feelings, suppressing our emotions, and avoiding our triggers. While in the family it was often accomplished in an authoritative manner, to show "tough love", and have the one with the "problem" evicted from the home in the hope they would see the "error of their ways" and change their behaviours.

For some families this is a successful strategy as it leaves the individual with no choice but to follow the rules set out in the home or leave. When the person is faced with this ultimatum, it can strike a chord that sparks them into gear and motivates them to make the changes being asked of them. While his can be an effective tactic, we believe this is a consideration as a last resort, as for many this is a disastrous journey into separation, anxiety, guilt, shame, and depression, that leaves all of those involved in a place of resentment, anger, and blame.

For those of us that deal with the addiction and mental health issues, that are usually told to stop doing the things we have been doing to cope, we must fight the thoughts and feelings we are experiencing, and most importantly, we are told we have to be strong in order to get rid of this drive we have that wants to escape from the daily problems we experience in life. We are usually treated to several different tactical approaches that are designed make us stop what we are doing. However, they usually leave us filled with guilt, shame, and fear which are many of the things we are escaping from in the first place, and our inability to cope with life is the reason we do what we do.

But what if there was a different way?

What if this way was available to you and it was a way that, with time, a desire to change, and lots of hard work, could avoid the conflict and chaos we experience, and allow peace of mind for you as an individual, and balance and cohesion for the family unit. Remember, almost all of the things you are fighting to understand and remove from your life are the probably the solution to your problems, and not the problem itself. When you take on the problem, and deal with the real issues you are struggling with, the solution is often no longer needed when the problem is no longer there. 

The Liberation Place offers you a way to make this happen, but not in the way you have been taught to try, and probably failed to do, before.
