                    RECOGNIZING RECOVERY LIGHTHOUSE

                                 ______

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 4, 2021

  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize an amazing 
group, Recovery Lighthouse in Warrensburg, Missouri.
  Founded in 2006 by Dr. Adriatik Likcani and the late Mr. Douglas 
Quirmbach, the organization began as a drop-in counseling center for 
individuals and families in the Warrensburg area. Today, Recovery 
Lighthouse offers outpatient counseling in Warrensburg and Sedalia. The 
organization also runs five long-term sober-living houses, the first of 
which was LIME Tree, a house for women in recovery. They now have two 
houses for women, two for women and children, and one for men, with 
another men's house opening soon. These houses give those in recovery a 
place to continue their sobriety, hold a job, and build interpersonal 
relationships until they are ready to live on their own.
  Recovery Lighthouse offers training and development courses for their 
staff to provide them with the necessary tools to better understand 
what it takes to provide treatment and recovery support for 
individuals. This, along with partnering with their community to 
advocate for recovery, are just a few of the ways Recovery Lighthouse 
stays true to their mission of providing people with as much support as 
possible in a safe and caring environment.
  Recovery Lighthouse is a truly wonderful organization working to help 
communities in Missouri's Fourth Congressional District overcome 
substance-use disorders and provide for them a helping hand along the 
path to full recovery. I commend Dr. Likcani and all the staff for 
implementing such a life-changing program and look forward to seeing 
them impact their communities for years to come.
