Their mission is to return recovered men to family and community.  They specifically serve adult males who are homeless or near homeless and in the early stages of recovery from alcoholism or drug addiction.  Individuals come to The Safe Place Foundation from a variety of situations including inpatient treatment, a relapse episode, Drug Court, incarceration, or 'off the street'.  They believe it is critical that these men have a longer term structured and monitored sober living environment where they can build a foundation of recovery and life skills.

I'm currently in a 28 day residential rehab program at Hazelton Betty Ford in Center City Minnesota with about 11 days left. After this I may be doing their 28 day outpatient program on site. Then I will be relocating to Cedar Rapids and I'm seeking a sober living environment for longer term living. I'm originally from Iowa City where my father and one brother reside. My ex-wife and two teen age daughters (17 and 14) live in DeWitt Iowa so Cedar Rapids is the ideal location for my re-location back to Iowa. Please contact me via e-mail and let me know of my options for your facility.
