I just finished my 30 day stay at the light house and I have to say that it was a life changing amazing experience. The facility from day one was a place that the second you walked in felt right at home and safe. The housing units were all very clean and extremely comfortable. The staff is absolutely amazing. From the grounds keepers and the house cleaners to the kitchen staff ,clinical facilitators and nursing staff. Everyone was extremely professional and you could feel their passion for the work they do. The whole team allowed me to get to the root of what makes me do the things that I do. I learned that's it's ok to be vulnerable and to process feelings and emotions in a healthy way. I truly felt like I was part of a family. Lizette was the client care specialist. She was a power house . all over ever inch of that place making sure all of us had our needs met in regards to outside appointments (legal, medical employment) you name she made it happen. My counselor Johnny had the most amazing cookies and was so- so at basketball and ping pong lol. More importantly, he , from day one wanted to help me. He was my friend and worked tirelessly to construct a healthy productive exit plan for me after I completed the program. Always happy and kept me busy working on myself. Thank you Johnny. My therapist Leah enabled me to dig deep within myself and to be honest. I dug up feelings and emotions with her that I didn't even realize I had. She made it a safe environment to cry and laugh, heal and grow. I am extremely grateful to her for that. Words don't began to even describe Jesse and Eddie ( Jesse, one of the founding fathers of the light house) I'm shocked that Hollywood has not come to these guy to make a movie. The knowledge that these 2 men have of addiction and behavioral science is absolutely priceless. Every time they speak you are drawn in to the teaching. They could speak for hours and you are on the edge of your seat wanting more. I would lay in my bed and replay what Eddie had to say about patience and talks about the inner workings of the brain it was mind blowing. Jesse one of the most brilliant amazing people I have ever met. The story's he has and the raw honesty of his work is unbelievable just breath taking.Rebecca, Mike, esto, Sarah you guys led the most amazing groups. I have never in my life felt so comfortable with people whom I just met. Your guys energy and passion and guidance is something I will never forget. You truly care about people, and that's a rare quality. Please you guys never change who you are. You help make people's lives better. Rebecca and Mike were the primary pm staff. I always looked forward to tue because I knew the "A" team was gonna be there. Mike made sure from day 1 that my meds were taken on time. He would go out of his way to come find me so I wouldn't miss my antibiotics and made sure my arm was wrapped and cleaned ( I had surgery before I got there). Rebecca is so kind and such an amazing listener. She was alway there for me like I was part of her family. Mike and Rebecca. I love you guys and will always be grateful for you. Estel is amazing. Never made you feel like he was better than you or had all the answers ( he sure has a lot of them though ). Very humble and extremely funny. Laugh therapy is always important. Thank you Esto . Sarah would always have have a activities for us to do to lighten it up after a long week of programming Now to the kitchen. Omg, the food at this place is off the charts. The kitchen staff works their tails off. From sun up till evening. Making sure not a single person was ever hungry.Unreal!! Gotta give a big shout out to Sam and Evelyn. Not only is Sam an amazing chef who makesthe most brilliant sauces and dressings from scratch but also really cares about the clients. He would always stop and check in on us to make sure our days were ok and ask us how we are doing. Evelyn made bomb salsa and perfectly seasoned chicken and roasted potatoes that will knock your socks off. God bless you guys. As I sit here now 15 lbs heavier . Love you. Last but most definitely not least is the nursing staff. Marie probably saved my life. It a long story but the nurses at the lighthouse are so on point. The medical staff is unbelievable. I even quit smoking while I was there. I got on the patch and after smoking since I was in highschool, some 25 plus years ago I have not had a cigarette in a month. The coolest thing about this place is that a lot the people who work there were clients at the light house . And if not the light house, a different rehabilitation center. We all speak the same language of recovery. That was very important to me. Now after completion of the program I am part of of the lighthouse alumni family. I have a couple hundred brothers and sister who I can reach out to any time any day about anything and who hold me accountable. Thanks for everything read more

Where do I begin... Of all the treatment centers I researched, I chose the Lighthouse and it was the best decision I made! I just completed a 45-day treatment and it saved my life! From the day I walked in, I was greeted with open arms by Kimberly~~ the staff at my residence were AMAZING: Thank you Brandy, Amanda, Jennifer, Leanna, Samantha, Oli & Hollie; My counselor, Melissa, walked me through my treatment plan the whole time during my stay - Thank you Melissa! My therapists, Crystal and Deborah were so caring and knowledgeable; the groups were great thanks to Deborah, Julie, Kate, Jolyn, Karen, Deb, Katelyn, Charlie, Eddie, Jeff, Eric, Robert; one of my favorite groups was with Donna, "the Bead Lady!" The kitchen served three delicious meals a day, thanks to Valerie, Sonya, Rita & Manny; the transportation team drove us where we needed to be, thanks to Arlene, Jose, Jan, David & Tyler-- the program here definitely works but YOU HAVE TO WANT IT! and I highly recommend it! These beautiful people all touched my heart and are a BIG part of my recovery: Brandy, Melissa, Amanda, Jennifer, Leanna, Oli, Hollie, Kimberly, Samantha, Crystal, Deborah, Arlene, Jose, Jan, Donna, Heidi, Michelle, Teresa, Karen, Jolyn, Kate, Katelyn, Deb, Julie, Rosemary, Natalie, Charlie, Eddie, Jeff, Eric, Robert, Norma, Katie ~ the staff really care and I look forward to staying connected!! Thank you ALL for all you do and for ALL you did for me!!! read more

This program truly works if your ready to make a change in every aspect of your life. All the counselors and staff are amazing. So many caring people I spent 39 days at lighthouse and have 4 months clean and sober now. I would not go anywhere else but here because the support you get is just unbelievable. read more

Greatest place ever. The fellowship is so supportive and strong. Such a beautiful group to be apart of I'm forever grateful

Great place to get sober and build a strong foundation for recover. They saved my life and gave me the tools to stay sober. If your struggling with these issues this place will change your life. You will also have the resources for when you leave and tools to get your life on track when you leave. Thank you Deeanna and chris p and all the staff including sarah! read more

I would just like to take a moment to thank the Anaheim Lighthouse for the new life that it has given me. I have been to other treatment facilities and none have been able to get down to the root of my problems like this place has. All of the staff members are qualified understanding and caring from administrative to clinical. I would recommend this program to anyone who is sick and suffering because when youre finished you'll have a new understanding of your disease and a new life. Thank you so very much for everything you have done for me. -Corey read more

So I will start with the positive side of things. The staff who you deal with on a day-to-day basis are (mostly) great people. They genuinely care about your recovery, since most of them are in recovery themselves. In addition, they teach recovery (from a 12-Step perspective, mainly) very effectively. The food was much better than I expected, and there are more than adequate restrooms for the number of people staying there. But other than that, this place is a mess. The main issue is that while they have very clear lines of hierarchy, they have totally unclear lines of communication. It is never clear who is supposed to do what, except that it is always someone other than who you are talking to. "That's not my job / That's not my fault," should be this place's slogan. From the day I arrived until the day I left, they fumbled pretty much everything, even something as basic as giving me info for their alumni organization when I discharged. (It was like I was the first person who had ever left.) I spoke with staff who told me that the ownership used to visit every couple of weeks but now only comes every 3-6 months. As long as the insurance money keeps flowing in, they don't care how this place is run. Second, the institutional culture encourages treating clients a bit like inmates. Sure, it's rehab; they get all sorts of people, and addicts need very clear boundaries. But is it really necessary to do things like yank phones out of the wall while clients are talking on them, enforce a bedtime, etc.? While I was there, a fellow client's father died; their no cell phone policy was so absolute that they would not even let him have his phone to call family members and coordinate arrangements. Third, their COVID policies seem more like an excuse to cut back on expenses than to protect clients. How else to explain the fact that weekly trips to Wal Mart, along with separate trips for cigarettes, vapes, and cigars (all no cost for them, and close to the facility) are "COVID safe," while things like taking clients to church, the beach, the movies, or off site AA meetings are deemed "too risky"? (Also, apparently one of the main draws of this place is that they basically treat smoking as the most important part of recovery; keep that in mind if you don't smoke.) On top of all that, when I complained about these things, they would start giving me lectures about the Big Book and acceptance. Which isn't bad advice; resentments are dangerous for addicts. But at the same time, it's sleazy to use the 12 Steps and the Big Book as an excuse to deflect client demands for a competently-run facility. I got a lot of great things out of this place, but it was in spite of the way the Lighthouse is run, not because of it. God forbid I ever need to go to rehab again, but if I do, it won't be here. read more

I am grateful this is the place my insurance thought it was going to fit me. I came with no intention of accepting I am an alcoholic. But this place has a counselor and a therapist working with you which helped to understand my drinking. The staff was so amazing. They take job serious but also are so human. I say so human because they take the moment to talk with you anytime you need it. The fellowship in there and after completing program has impacted my life. Thank you. read more

No this is not a fake review I am a real person who came to the Lighthouse back in 2011 and I am still clean and sober. When I got to the Lighthouse I was broken but the staff pushed me to stay and continue working on my recovery. It has been the best decision I ever made in my life. I've gained so much here mentally, physically and spiritually. Not only am I sober for multiple years but I have a strong group of friends and a strong community through the alumni program. I was also shown that you could recover through a 12 step program which has given me so much spiritually. I have regained my confidence, my energy and given a new outlook on life. The groups and therapy always got to the core of my issues and the community is so strong that talking to your fellows is easy and actually encouraged. I have been shown so much love here and I am eternally grateful for the lighthouse read more

Want to leave a leave a great review for the nursing staff @ light house. Marissa Jesse & the rest of the nursing staff where professional & awesome people min general. Besides the lack of regular coffee. The facility was clean & pleasant. Keep up the good work & thank you read more

I went to a 8 day detox there, was very happy with the staff, they were all super supportive and comforting to me. The problem is with upper management with the medical team. They are very disorganized. Would take 24 hours to get meds, and when your detoxing this seems like forever. No RN or DR on site. The LVN Marie was one of the nicest people and continually came to check on me after I had to go to the ER for precipitated withdrawals that lasted 24 hours, but when she would text the dr to try to get meds perscribed to patients it would take sometimes 8 hours for him to respond and another 12 hours to get my meds. They do not have enough staff for all the detox houses. I would get told I was getting certain meds and never get them and never get notified of anything. Another thing is they could at least have Netflix, they have regular cable but most channels are blocked if they are pg and over. I paid a lot of money out of pocket for a place that is worse than most medi- cal funded places. Like I said earlier staff is nice but their hands are tied when it comes to getting meds, so clients are in pain longer than they should be for paying 6000$ read more

i went to lighthouse in december of 2022 , and it was an amazing experience . i have chronic nightmares so i'm always up throughout the night . a lot of the night staff were just rude . there is one named meriza , she always had a negative attitude and was just flat out rude . wouldn't let me talk about my nightmares or anything for that matter , and was just worried about whatever was on her phone . annalise was a little nicer but not much . there was one staff at the time named tatum , who was just amazing . God sent . a lot of the clients there loved her , she was helpful to me more than words could even say . i relapsed and went back in may , and she wasn't there ! i heard that she quit due to false accusations . it's unfortunate that the management took away the only kind night shift staff that they had in the women's side . i ended up leaving because nobody was supporting me or even trying to help me deal with and go through my nightmares . i can't believe they tried firing tatum but not linda . read more

I got sober there and that was in october i have almost. most 9 months clean and sober.thank you lighthouse

My Son went there a couple of years ago. It seemed like a good program and was covered by our insurance. But he relapsed and when we tried to check him in for a follow up. They tried to charge us $4000. Bottom line, their program doesn't work and then they try to profit off of people who really need help read more

My name is Douglas and if it was not for this place and the staff I know that I will still be using alcohol.All of the staff was just wonderful,even the cook(Manny)he was a outstanding guy and alway willing to help. Gloria,Andrew was always there to help me and keep me going in the right direction.all of the other staff member was just great.Johnny,David,Barnard,Jerermy was all great at what they do.they can be firm if need to.but other wise really nice guys to help you continue and keep you on the right track toward your soberity.I'am doing great in my soberity. Thank each and every one of you read more

I wanted to write a review of the Anaheim Lighthouse because the program helped my son and gave him a solid initial foundation for sobriety. They kept him busy and the counselors were very helpful to him. He made the phone call to enter treatment and he did the work there, however it was the staff, groups and the program that facillitated his desire to stay. In the end, it is up to him whether he wants to stay sober but the men he worked with at this facility had strong AA programs and they provided him with great examples. He found a sponsor that had him working many steps before leaving 28 days of treatment and the facility helped him enter a sober home after treatment. I have not met Danny or most of the staff there but the way my son speaks of them, I can see that they were the key to the miracle of my son staying, and for that there is no way to put a "thank you" into words. read more

Anaheim lighthouse is appropriately named as this is what it has been for my son. I flew my son in from another state for treatment, This was a very scary time for us and it was reassuring interacting with dedicated, knowledgeable professionals. I received remarkable support from the start, my introduction to The Lighthouse began with Jon Philipson, his kind caring attitude felt welcoming, he went out of his way to meet my son's needs. Carmen was very patient, she didn't blink when my son unexpectedly flew in a day early. It was a huge relief to me as a parent knowing that my son was in a safe place receiving excellent care in a clean, comfortable, structured environment. Although my son was a difficult client, the staff didn't give up on him. Together, their team of counselors, and staff changed my son's life and brought stability and meaning back into it. I am so grateful for Anaheim Lighthouse, just as a beacon of light brings hope to lost ships, your program has brought hope into my son's life. I am eternally grateful to all of you!! read more

Although this is not the right place for my son, the staff has gone above and beyond to help me find the right fit. I will be eternally grateful! read more

Wonderful staff they really care and invest themselves but the reason for the negative review is because even after completion and graduation of the program I was kicked to the curb and told by the receptionist that since I was being driven home by the lighthouse, I needed to go to Starbucks to wait for my ride it was highly unprofessional and rude especially considering the fact that many of my friends throughout my stay were not transported by the lighthouse and none of them were just booted! read more

The Lighthouse is truly a beacon of hope. During my time spent there, I have witnessed amazing transformations in myself as well as others, held and supported with the highest level of care, love and genuine concern from the staff. There is a lot of comfort knowing that many of the staff members are also in recovery and have many years of experience in this field, and their sincere desire to help other struggling addicts is evident in their hard work, professionalism and ability to relate to clients. Deepest gratitude to the Lighthouse for all they do. read more

I understand there are rules when calling and that is fine. But to raise your voice and have such a horrible attitude from the receptionist and the lady answering the phone in the women's center on Christmas day! You guys are horrible and I would never recommend your facility to anyone! Do some training on compassion and customer service! Merry Christ Mas! You all need some Christ in your lives! read more

I spent 21 days at Lighthouse and could not have asked for a better experience! The entire staff, from the counselors to all the support staff, were so caring and genuine. If you are ready to work, this is the place to go. I feel blessed to have been there, and to now have an extended family who I know will be there for me on my sobriety journey. I cannot thank them all enough for what they gave me. I love you guys!! read more

Worst rehab I've ever been to! My sober living owner manipulated me to come here. I think because the owner of this place offered her a certain amount of money to send me here for an unnecessary "medication adjustment". Who the fuck goes to a rehab for a medication adjustment? My sober living owner told me I'd only have to stay for 3 days and when I got there the people working there told me I had to stay for 30 days and then my sober living owner told me I had to listen to them. Pretty much my old sober living owner Saundra Parker manipulated me to stay in a rehab so she could get paid some money for me to be there even though I didn't relapse at all and the drug tests she gave me prove it. I took off after 3 days because that's how long saundra parker and I agreed that I would stay. Saundra then told me that if I do that again she will kick me out of her sober living. This rehab was the worst experience of my life. There wasn't netflix or hulu. The movies were boring. I think they had spectrum which was really fucking boring. The food was terrible. It was so boring and small. I can't believe they called the house I was in the "best" one only the people with good insurance can go to. I would have rather been homeless for those 3 days. read more

This review is by no means staff or any association with the treatment center. This is from the heart of an addict. Brief history of my past I've been in recovery for six years from opiate and benzo addiction. This place has saved my life twice. After recently having crushed my sciatic nerve and getting scews and fusion done between L4/L5, The doctor said that no meds were helping take away the pain after surgery so I was administered IV Dilaudid for five days while in the hospital. The doctor new before surgery i had 6 years clean but still sent me home with x100 4mg and x50 2 mg the Dilaudid pills and 60 Valiums. One day I missed my dose and by two hours and woke up and convulsions with the worst withdrawal symptoms I had ever felt, even after shooting herion and methadone for a while. I was rushed to the ER and shot up with two milligrams of Dilaudid and I was instantly normal. I knew that I had the call the lighthouse for help. The back pain was masked by the cancer treating pills and 3 weeks after surgery i was off to Cali. I had rebuilt all the bridges I destroyed over the past 6 years. I knew that I didn't want to be that person i used to be and I had to go to detox Now for the facility, the staff has improved tremendously over the last 6 years. Most of the units are clean they have a full maid service 24 hours(Brittany works her butt off for you) and the food is second to none. Nobody Does it Better Than Manny. I was eating T-bone steaks and salmon with teriyaki pineapple glaze. The weekend cook was absolutely terrible sweating in the food and pulling out hair , but during the week it's five star. The staff from Carmen/Chuck down to the very bottom were caring and understanding. Shannon, Shane, Shea, Amada, Jeremy, tanya, chucky, Johnny, bernard, the 2 cathys( who will tell you their storys and keep you smiling), to the driver's rodney and glenn, amazing. And they're so many many more.. (the 2 graveyard detox staffers were terrible, z and Lori.) To wrap up, if you or a loved one needs help this is an absolute 5-star place that if you want it, you will get clean here, . The Brotherhood is absolutely amazing there, and the meds they give you if you're going for a taper, you will get off. Thx , Ken read more

I am not sure if Anaheim Lighthouse is a 5-star rehabilitiation center or not. It may very well be. But, the three 5-star reviews listed are all from employees of Anaheim Lighthouse (their COO, Intake Director and Detox Supervisor). Now these folks never say they aren't employees, but they never indicate that they are employees. Again, this may or may not be a good place, but I think these reviews are misleading. I would recommend check other sources about this establishment to be sure. Just FYI! read more

I came to Anaheim Lighthouse in March 2014 and the people there have helped me turn my life around. I came in with a bad attitude and a negative opinion towards recovery programs in general. They helped me realize that the true issue was my way of thinking. The 7 day detox period was comfortable . Unlike other detox centers/programs I have been to. The staff was always available and attentive to my needs. They worked with me to safely come off of the drugs I had been using. The detox supervisor was always willing to help me when I had any issue or concern. They were able to get me a visit with the doctor on the same day I developed an extremely painful abscess in my gums. They were always looking out for my well being. On the treatment side, after detox, I was thrown into a lot of great recovery based programming. Even on the days where I felt down they worked with me to get me back on the right track. I went to multiple groups everyday, met with counselors, therapists and attended outside 12 step meetings. We also enjoyed social time at the beach and movie theater on the weekends. Towards the end of my stay Jason helped me with a discharge plan. He constantly pulled me aside to find the right place at a price I could afford. With having to move back to Colorado for legal obligations, they worked with me daily to find a transitional home that included the care I needed(Sober Living Home w/ Intensive Outpatient Program). I don't have any complaints for this wonderful place because it changed my life. I have grown so much in my spirituality and have learned that humility and selflessness feel a lot better than pride and selfishness. I am grateful for my stay at the Lighthouse and all of the people there. I realize now that there's much more to living than the way I was doing it and I am so incredibly grateful for the opportunity they provided me. read more

When I was searching for a place for my son I was desperate. The woman I spoke told me all the things I wanted and needed to hear. He would receive extensive therapy & counseling. He would be put in detox. I asked for a 90 Day program because I knew for his particular drug 30 days wouldn't cut it. Interesting enough they asked how much I could afford to pay. First of all my son never went into detox. I guess there is no detox for meth, but the person who was screening me, specifically told me there was detox. He never saw a doctor and never had his vitals taken during his initial first week. My son received 1 counseling session per week from his therapist and counselor. Most sessions ran about 30 minutes or less. On a couple of ocassions he received no counseling at all during the week. They did take him to the gym daily and they scheduled and provided transportation to the doctor when needed. He was also sent to gender specific meetings in the area. Their were group meetings ongoing during the week that he felt were helpful. He also received hearty hot meals each day. I visited the facility on Family Day and afterwards I had several issues that I brought up with the Director. Mainly regardng the lack of therapy and counseling that my son wasn't being provided. Oh the cherry on the cake was that during week 2 or 3 my son was offered $60 to take a urine test for one of the employees who knew he was going to test dirty. My son stayed approximately 44 days. He felt that a continued stay would be counter productive to his recovery. Since my son had no insurance I paid $20,000 for a 90 day program. I was told that the cost per day is approximatel $400 a day. $11,000 for a 30 day program. Interesting enough I have sent a letter requesting a refund for the time he did not spend. No contracts were signed at the time. They were just to happy to get their greedy little hands on the cash. They were so anxious that when the check was delayed in the mail they offered to send a messenger to me for a new check. I have spoken to others families who have had loved ones in rehab and at the very least they have received therapy and counseling at least 3 times a week. This place offers a lot of lip service but does not deliver on promises. They also inferred that because my son is an addict that he is not telling me the truth about his stay or lack of therapy. My son entered this facility through his own volition. He has no reason to lie. I agree with the other comments that this place is about making money. Had I not been lied to about the services that would be provided I wouldn't feel so upset. I'm not an addict and I don't lie. read more

I went here back in August of 2011. All I have to say is that I did get some help, sure. However I hope that all the personell has changed. When I was there, as we slept, the employees went through our belongings as we all were on night meds. A girl even got her engagement ring stolen. I am an insomniac so I was up all night and saw the office people entertaining late night and I was always the one people asked to take pee tests first and for them. Not mentioning any names. You know who you are. And they truly base your monthly payment based on how much your insurance will pay and your treatment is the amount of time and money you have. They tried to talk me into another month. I had already gotten ripped off monetarily while I was sleeping so I wasn't about to give them another $15,000!!! This place is a joke. read more

My name is Mackenzie and I have been a client here at the lighthouse for 41 days, today is my discharge date. I cannot begin to express how much this facility has helped me. Everybody who works here has a true desire to help those suffering with addiction and alcoholism. My counselor Melissa D always went out of her way to help me and meet my needs. She was hard on me when it was much needed and don't try to BS her because she knows it when she sees it. The same goes for Debbie , the other counselor in women's treatment she will CALL YOU ON IT. The support staff here is so amazing, I have been able to talk to them about ANYTHING and break down to them when things were just too much. The support staff, counselors and therapists truly just want what is best for you and your recovery and will do anything they can to help you through it. I wanna give another shout out to my counselor Melissa who put up with my attitude during a rough time, she was always caring and understanding through it all. Melissa truly has a heart of gold, and client care is most important to her. I would recommend this treatment center to anyone struggling with their addiction or alcoholism. Support Staff is AMAZING .....BRITTANY IS AWESOME !! She's very supportive and you can come to her with anything along with Stephanie , Vicki , Yuvina , Amada and Regina are EXCEPTIONAL at what they do as support staff. Anita , Kaycee and Vicky are the best drivers, I always felt safe going on outings and meetings with them. You can come to them with anything and they will do their best to meet your needs. This place truly saved my life. PS TAMMY IS THE BEST COMMUNITY RESOURCE ADVOCATE AND ALUMNI COORDINATOR. read more

First of all, remember that you will only get out what you put in. Anaheim Lighthouse is great. I went there to get help to get off of opiates, benzos, alcohol, weed and anything else thats rad, I mean bad. The only bad reviews ur gonna hear are those who didnt put in the work, and probably left early to get high. The brotherhood was amazing. It started on the detox side, and continued onto the treatment side. As anyone who knows about going through detox, it is horrible. There are of course some real jerk offs who work there, but its hard to deal with assholes like us who are coming down. I wont mention anyones name who i dont care for , but Taylor, Kelly, and Yadira are heaven sent angels on the detox side. Without them, I would have left and stayed gone. The treatment side is a whole different world from detox. Dont be discouraged when you feel like its the end of the world in detox, cuz its not. The staff on the treatment side are really genuine and care deeply about your road to recovery. My main man Jonny is one cool dude. Hes loud and frickin obnoxious which always made me smile. He only is a dick when he needs to be. Face it, he works with US. Thumbs up to the rest of the staff as well. Jeremy........ if your reading this, Im sorry. I was looking for any excuse to leave and there were plenty, but in the long run, it was me. I really want to express my gratitude to all my compadres whom i met at anaheim lighthouse. My sober date is Feb 16, 2015 and today im still going strong. I thank u all for a great experience. Stay cuz it will work but only if you work it. read more

I checked myself into this facility a year and a half ago and stayed for 30 days. This treatment center was the perfect fit for me. The staff is caring and professional and will help you with whatever you need. The food is good and they take you to outside meetings, which was very beneficial for me when I needed a familiar place to go as I was transitioning back into the "real world" after treatment. They gave me the tools I needed to live a normal and happy life. I am taking my 18 month chip this week. Thank you to all the staff at the lighthouse! read more

I am so grateful to the Lighthouse. I came here literally a broken shell of a man without any hope of ever climbing out of the pit of loneliness and despair that I was in. I had damaged my family and everything I ever loved in life by my addiction and self centered actions. I ended up in the hospital once before I came to the lighthouse and still I didn't stop. My friend Danny called me one day and told me about the lighthouse and that "I was important to him" and I decided I would give it a try. From the moment I got there all of the Staff were amazing. Especially the medical staff there who were extremely patient with me and I will be forever grateful to Steve, Shannon, and Mathew who literally walked me through some of the most difficult times in my life. I stayed a total of 71 days there and was able to get a sponsor in AA who walked me through the steps. I will also be forever grateful for my counselor Amri who was patient, kind and understanding which made it easier to dig up some deep rooted things blocking my off from the spirit of God. They have a strong Alumni program here as well and I am very active with the members and even got elected to be the secretary of the Sunday meeting. I even have 2 men that I am now blessed with the pleasure of walking them through the steps. The man that is writing this review right now is the man that I am supposed to be. I have made formal amends to my family and have been also able to restore those relationships. I'm even trying to get my nephew in there because I know it is such an amazing place. All of the support staff there are excellent and actually care about you as a person. If you want to have a better life and are struggling with addiction, I beg you to give yourself a chance and go to the lighthouse. Also I finally have my dream job and I must say a special thanks to Mathew who helped me visualize this in a therapy session on a whiteboard during group. The lighthouse showed me the path to walk, all I did was choose to actually walk that path for real and I have a life beyond my wildest dreams. Thank you all of you! read more

All I would like to recommend is that before you check yourself into a "Dual Diagnosis" Rehabilitation Center make sure you do your homework. Most staff were very helpful and loving and Although I did have meetings with other Staff and Directors to try to address my concerns which "Most" were addressed, I just would like to say that You should make sure this is the place for you.

The lighthouse treatment center was by far one of the biggest jokes that me or my family have been exposed too. As a former client reading the reviews posted before mine, I noticed that any review posted that had anything positive bout this treatment center was posted by a staff member!!!! In detox there was black mold all over the bathroom n all the beds had dirty sheets on them from clients who weren't even there anymore! Male staff were extremely creepy and touchy touchy towards more then just one client. I was there for one month and saw my "counselor" one time for 15 mins and saw an actual therapist oncee for 30 mins. It took THREE days for the facility too pick up an extremely important prescription of mine. Also my counselor was so rude n the least non professional adult. I have never even used yelp before In my life but seriously felt the need too do so after my experience here at the lighthouse. If I were too bring ANY board of health inspection in this joint there is zero doubt that it would be shut down!!!!!! read more

I went through the light house program and graduated 2 weeks ago I am a I V heroin addict also addicted to Xanax I have been an addict for over 18 years and am so desperate for recovery that I did anything and everything the light house has recommended me to do to achieve and maintain sobriety I have mixed feelings about this treatment center not the worst not the best some of the staff are amazing caring and compassionate and some are unprofessional to say the least. my detox was very hard I got very sick and had to go to the emergency room twice it took them over 24 hours to get my medication filled both times. I asked the physician they send you to that I needed the vivitrol shot before I left (which is an alcohol and opiate blocker that helps with cravings) he never handled that for me and by the grace of God one of the support staff Gia somehow got me a sample of this injection through this dr which I had administrated the day before I left. I feel very grateful for this for I feel this injection has helped me tremendously in maintaining sobriety i really loved the counselor Debbie and Malita who is support staff they were amazing and really helped me while I was in treatment... All in all I am very appreciative for the lighthouse and the support I received while there read more
