A new substance abuse addiction recovery facility is open in Richmond. Community leaders came together Monday for a ribbon cutting ceremony at Liberty Place.
Liberty Place is a women's only facility where women undergo a recovery program for free.
The recovery center is part of an initiative started by former Governor Ernie Fletcher.
The facility opened its doors in June but the grand opening was Monday.
Some of the women have been living at Liberty Place since it opened.
Nancy Noll tells WTVQ 36 the center has been a blessing for her and her life has taken a positive turn in just the few months she has been there.
The recovery program's goal is to eventually help the women get jobs and lead more normal lives.
The facility can house up to one-hundred women.
