Summary (2-4 lines): Renovation House is an addiction ministry for men. It's a 12 month program where men live together in Spencer, New York under the direction of Pastor Manny Archilla. For the first 30 days, the men are in a "blackout" period-- there's no t.v., no phones or mail or email. They are totally isolated from the outside world, except for the men, Pastor Manny and the visiting pastors, and the ministry. They're taught in classes during the day, and there are guest speakers during class time and at night. 9 months into the program they are re-integrated into society, working outside the House but still living there. There is a 96 percent success rate with the program.
