Our main Rochester facility, which can house up to 25 men, first opened its doors in 2006. The Rochester Life Transformation Center accommodates residents who are pursuing recovery, mental stability, and re-entering society from the correctional system. Many of these individuals are on work release, supervised release, or are former participants in the Minnesota Sex Offender Program (MSOP). Additionally, there are rooms available for those in the larger community who are coping with homelessness, mental illness, and substance use disorders. The duration of the visit can often range from a few weeks to two months to a year. Although there are many variables, the length of stay frequently depends on the degree of recovery, level of independence, and community integration.
During the reintegration process, the men engage closely with transformation coordinators and peer recovery specialists who offer responsibility and guidance. The men can choose to engage in weekly bible studies and recovery support groups held on-site, as well as a monthly men’s brunch that is alternately hosted by three nearby churches. Staff and residents can also benefit from one another’s mutual enlightenment during the monthly house meetings.
