| Shepherd's House was conceived at the Good Shepherd Episcopal Church in 1986 in an effort to minister to a human need not otherwise met in the community. However, it was not until 1989 that it became fully operational. Since that time it has continued to be recognized as a program that is committed to providing quality services to men in recovery from alcoholism and other drugs of abuse, with a sustaining focus on a four-pointed star of hope - hope for physical, psychological, spiritual and social recovery. Shepherd's House is a private, non-profit organization, licensed as an intermediate care facility by the Commonwealth of Kentucky. We are traditionally known as a halfway house, a transitional long-term facility. It is a structured, cost effective residence offering a supportive living program to alcoholics and other substance dependent men, many whose lives have been so seriously disrupted they no longer have families, steady jobs or homes to go to. |
