A great place with an even better staff. Mike, the night lead on the WAC side, could always find time to help everyone. He would go out of his way to listen and give advice where he could. He was always making sure clients were caught up on their meds, and checking in on everyone both mentally and physically. The man works there just to help others achieve their goals of sobriety. Mike deserves a huge pay raise, and a cape because the mans a hero. I am blessed and forever grateful for the staff of the Lighthouse. read more

I recently stayed at Lighthouse in Anaheim for detox. It was a great experience and great place to go for detox. The facility is very clean, and gets cleaned very often. The food is also great there too. The counselors, therapists, doctors and staff are amazing. I would highly recommend anybody seeking help to stay sober to give this place a try. You will not be disappointed. If I could give 10 stars, I would. That's how amazing this place is. read more

The absolute worst place to consider for rehabilitation! My son tried very hard to enter their program, he's an alcoholic. And was turned away because when he was asked if he suffered from anorexia or bulimia he replied well I have Anemia! They ran w/ it and stated he self DX w/ bulimia. And then proceeded to refuse him service! Dropped him off at Kaiser Downey ER to fend for himself. No warm handoff just see ya later!! My son had finally asked for help and they weasled themselves into not helping him at all. But actually turning him away!! This will be escalated!! If you're looking for professional help. Do not go here.They coach you very well to actually not receive services.My son was evaluated @kaiser Downey ER and was cleared and Lighthouse was advised he did not have bulimia!!! But their non-licensed staff knows better! Service still refused.If you can't turn to rehab when asking for help where can you turn to?!?! Shamefulness!!! @Lighthouse do yourselves a favor and do not reply to this review with some non helpful insight! Nobody cares about your well transcripted response! Actually!! read more

The light house is a turning point for those of you who are truly ready to surrender to your powerlessness in your struggles- and a great begging for those who know they need to change something but, not sure what just yet. The staff- thank you. From the admissions (Laura) to the cooks (Rocky and Sonya..etc.) from the amazing house staff and group leaders who dealt with our wild ways (Arleen, Holly, Teri, Angela, Reyna, Nedra so many more) to our AMAZING alumni and director JO, IOP with Lupe, Jolynn, Michael, Issac... so many to name that I can't in the " so many characters allowed in my review ;) " . THANK YOU. Your love and hard work for the strangers that walk into the light house that leave as family- you lift us up, educate us and love us until we love ourselves or at least begin to be able to look at ourselves in the mirrors and not want to hide.... This place changed my life, gave me the tools to change my thinking... I've been in and out for over 10 years and had lengths of sobriety... and was fortunate enough to have my " ah hah" moment while being blessed to be here. I met amazing women and men in recovery whom I still speak to daily and God wiling, this is my last go around in treatment. If you are open minded to the process and LISTEN to the messages the staff takes their time to teach you, and then apply it- you will benefit from the light house. I will always have a special place in my heart for the light house. Thank you everyone, I'm forever grateful!!!! read more

The Lighthouse truly saved my life. An outstanding facility with quality life saving education. I would recommend the Lighthouse to anyone that is struggling with an addiction. I would like to point out a few key people that were instrumental to my recovery: My therapist Cheryl she was an amazing very caring person. Thank you Cheryl! My counselor Melissa she was the best, thank you for all your help. The support staff: Heidi, Jessie, Ron, Andrew, Sarah, Jason and Dillon. A special shoutout to Heidi she is the most caring person, her smile brightened my day! A special shoutout to Ivan thank you for being a friend. But did not appreciate the extra 10lbs I gained during my stay. The Lighthouse is an amazing place with quality staff. Thank you Lighthouse. Michael Cl read more

I enjoyed most of the staff at the lighthouse on the women's side. Support staff Rocky, Terri, Teresa, Marissa, Debbie, Heidi and Shelley go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Client care coordinator Stephanie is in a category all on her own with how she bends over backwards to make sure every need of yours is taken care of. The cooks Valerie, Elizabeth, Sonya and Mercedes are ridiculously courteous and prepare good meals. The therapist Julie is extremely understanding and gives you her complete attention. I was not happy with there only being 2 phones to share with 16 other girls. Oh yeah, you can't have your phone the entire 28 days you're there. You only leave the facility on Fridays to go to Walmart and Sundays to the vape shop. There are two to three beds in each room and it can be very frustrating to try to get ready in the mornings. There is no hanging out in each other's living rooms unless you get special permission from support staff and never allowed in each other's rooms. You are woken up at 6 am for vitals and expected to stay up and eat breakfast at 7 and go to group shortly after. Don't be late for groups, restrict phone calls to 15 minutes and be nice to the other clients is three of the most important things to remember when considering going here. I coined out on 02-22-2021 and was set up with a door to door transfer to an IOP program. I can look back and say it's a good program if you need detox or residential program. It's not perfect but what is perfect? Good luck! -Saule Nicole Isbell -Saule Nicole Isbell read more

Teri lighthouse staff for womens section inspired me to putt myself together when I go out. I wear pink on my nails to honor that love and respect I have for myself now and to remind me that I am putt together with love not just by stitches like velveteen rabbit. he became real with love so am I because of lighthouse and it's staff.-Kathleen Dailey read more

The Lighthouse Alumni program has been huge for me after leaving the Lighthouse. It's exciting and uplifting having the activities and groups to go to regularly, staying busy having a great time helps me tremendously now I'm out on my own. We always have a great time. read more

I can say I had a great experience at the lighthouse. I was a client for 95 days and the whole time I was the staff was wonderful. My experience was great. I have to say my therapist Leah helped me to overcome a great deal. Leah was very professional and understanding with what I was going through. I was able to find out a lot about myself that I never probably really wanted to find out. So I'd like to give a special thanks to Leah for all you did for me while I was at the lighthouse. read more

My time at Lighthouse was extremely enlightening, beneficial and came at a point in my life where I was so vulnerable a bad place could have been fatal. The staff for the most part is patient, caring, and willing to put up with some incredibly difficult and trying people who are genuinely sick in their disease. The food is nutritious and plentiful, the activities are creative and the structure is just right for people who truly need it. This is NOT a frilly, cushy rehab if you are looking for that, but there is real fellowship and structure for those who need it. I'm Very pleased with my 40 plus days at Lighthouse. Thank you. read more

Great experience. The lighthouse provided me support, education, structure and brotherhood. The staff was great, very available and kind. My counselor was Gloria and she was inspiring, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I'm very grateful for my stint here. read more

The degree of professionalism, and dedication, with the team at 'Lighthouse Treatment Facility' is remarkably second to none. My personal life experiences with drugs and alcohol had always been a ceaseless challenge, to which I had become accustomed in the belief, that I could never stop. The ways I drank and used all forms of drugs, undoubtedly, had the highest precedence of priority! The highs and the lows had consistently accrued to reveal my hopelessly exhausting daily style of living. This form of denial I couldn't seem to comprehend; nor did I care to admit to myself, before my time with the Lighthouse. All that said, it is the life changing journey that one may embark upon, if they so choose, with the Lighthouse program. The Lighthouse has a very simple, comprehensive, understandable, yet fully integrated curriculum that allows for each and every person to learn the language of their own ability to succeed. The Lighthouse program offers the tools and support for each individual to develop healthy personal relationships and self-care strategies. Lighthouse has excellent cuisine choices with three meals everyday, and snacks at all times. Each person has their own individual bed. The living spaces are inviting and resemble comfortable apartment layouts. Phones are available free of charge for outgoing and incoming communications from family and friends. The Lighthouse also has a lifelong tradition of aftercare connections, with an amazing Alumni family, for continuing support through the shift into the life everyone deserves to have. The Lighthouse has been my ticket to finding success in sobriety! Thank you Lighthouse, you saved my life!!!! read more

Thank you to all the staff at the lighthouse everyone of you did such an excellent job and I couldn't be more grateful to have met each of you. One person really made a huge impact on my sobriety and that was Heidi. Heidi made each day so full of light and encouraged me to stay clean and to be there for my son. She comes in each day with love and understanding in her heart. Always genuine, loving, listening, comforting, and so into her job. Thank you Heidi for making my experience worthwhile. I'm proud to say I'm 52 days sober and that's because of all the help and support I received at the lighthouse. Thank you. Forever and always Rio Dobbs! read more

Frustrated & Disappointed. As a parent it would be nice if the counselors would return your call. I left 3 messages for Karen who was my daughters counselor. She was being discharged but I had some questions going forward. (yes, I was on her HIPAA list) I guess once the client leaves they can care less? A call back & professionalism would of been appreciated! read more

I am so thankful for the lighthouse! I am 34 days sober! it was a long journey to get this far but if it wasnt for my amazing counselor Melissa and my therapist desiree i probably wouldnt have made it thru. Melissa is a beautiful amazing and understanding woman. she helped me with all of my needs whenever i needed her! she guided me thru the process to being my recovery and i appreciate and love her so very much! You rock melissa! Desiree also helped me in so many ways! having those people help you break down whats really going on inside and why is an important part of recovery because they made me rip off the bandaid and deal with what i was numbing away with substance! I am continuing this lifetime journey of sobriety and it started there at the lighthouse! If i cld do it so can anyone else! Love u guys! read more

I owe the lighthouse my life. Before entering the lighthouse I was broken, a hollow shell, dead on the inside, literally wanting to end my life. I entered the lighthouse with no hope, however, while at the lighthouse, I learned how to handle life on life's terms. I got to know who I was, and the staff at the lighthouse loved me until I could love myself I now have four years of sobriety, and my life is good today I wanna live today i love myself and others, I want to bring hope to the people that are hopeless. Thank you Lighthouse for giving me the opportunity to live life. read more

The Lighthouse is a wonderful place, both for clients and staff. The alumni support is AMAZING, designed for long term success. The food is great, too! read more

My husband was in there a few months back we were struggling financially and he needed to do his unemployment this place is very unprofessional I knew that his wife was disabled and has high anxiety instead of doing his unemployment they continuously put me off like it was no big deal as I was struggling to survive then they put the man on the phone around the place and he verbally abuse me and once they realized I had them by the balls as far as Filing a lawsuit because I recorded every phone conversation they told my husband to pack his bags and kicked him out instead of taking him and doing his unemployment so he could continue with his treatment very unprofessional organization would never take any of my family members there ever again read more

I was here April 2019. I left sober and ready to take one day at a time. Learning more about myself. Wonderful staff and clients that are now friends. Thank you for everything read more

when I first entered the Lighthouse, I was lost, broken, and I didn't want to live anymore. When I left I felt alive, happy, and ready to begin a new life. The staff helped me so much in ways I can never repay. Teresa once walked by me and asked "if I was ok?" I replied no and she took the time to walk me to my room and listened to me, I really never had that in my life before. She sincerely cared how I felt. The entire staff was this way, they constantly checked on me and made sure I was ok. if not, they took the time out of whatever they were doing to listen to me. The counselors taught us real-life scenarios and what they experienced and how they got through it. When I left I used those tools to help get through rough times. The drivers were also so kind and talked to me as they took me to various doctors' appointments. Especially Jose I was so impressed that he knew my name. I will never forget that. I felt so special. I knew I was not just another patient to them, I felt like family. Everyone at the Lighthouse has made a major impact on my road to recovery. I would like to give a special thanks to Sara the alumni coordinator she has been so helpful and encouraging in my recovery throughout my journey. After I left the Lighthouse she continues to help so many with her honest, personal attention and support to each and every alumni who reaches out to her. Lighthouse saved my life and it can do the same for you when you are ready!!! read more

See all

I needed to check in to rehab. luckily I had the lighthouse's ph# cause my ins. reffered it to me. it was the best 45 days without a drink. Detox was terrible sure but the support and staff are there to help. Food is good. the room are spacious. try it if you need help with substances abuse. read more

Thank you to the Lighthouse staff, the brothers I met, and shout out to Dillan. 100% the Lighthouse helped me recover and get sober.

Lighthouse is a great place to recover and iam looking forward to becoming a alumni member thank you and all of the staff sincerely Mark Edwards. read more

This place literally saved my life. I can't say enough good things if you really want to get help and change for real and end your addictions. I want to say special thanks to all but most of all Carla who saved me when I was about to do the worst thing and leave and Ron who gave me the words of encouragement that I needed to hear to put me on the right path. There are others but my headspace doesn't allow me to remember all who I believe have changed me for the better and by the grace of God forever. Thank you so much. Brandon He read more

The Lighthouse was an amazing experience for me. They took me in even though I was being difficult and unreasonable because they saw more in me, even in that state than I have ever seen in myself. The staff is amazing and every single time I needed them to, they took the time to to make sure I was okay. I grew a lot at The Lighthouse. I went in a broken individual and left with dignity, self respect and now have an understanding of my higher power. They helped me deal with the things I always shoved down and used as an excuse to relapse. I would mention certain staff but they're all so great that it would be a book. I've been to a few different treatment centers and this one worked for me because I was willing to work it. read more

This place changed my life. The tools I got day in and day out to succeed were unbelievable. And the staff for the most part are all "lighthouse alumni" which means they've been in my shoes and also anybody's shoes who are looking this place up to find a place to get sober and want a better life. They feed you amazing food and the counselors are also amazing! Big Johnny the counselor is amazing. Shannon also is an amazing counselor and the therapist... wow! Everything about this place is top notch. If you're ready to take that step for wanting better for you, this place will give you the tools and the sober community you need to make It happen!! Dylan, Estol, Alejandro, Bryan (group leader) & Heidi (group leader) big John and more changed my life. It's a brotherhood and sisterhood you join forever! read more

My 21 year old son was there two weeks and got drugs at there somehow. He got high (he is an addict) and they threw him out at 11:00 pm at night with his phone, $3 and his backpack. He is not from Anaheim and was far from home. Today, two days later, he turned up on their steps still high and someone called me and said they didn't know what to do with him. This is a treatment facility. You must have a detox facility, or know of one. You have a relapsed addict. How do you not know what to do??? How do you not supervise addicts and how do you let them get drugs??? Something is now right here. Very disappointed - I read all the glowing reviews and had hope that this was a good place. I really want everyone to get the help they need - just know that this is a possible outcome if you select this place. read more

Great Place to detox and Rehab. Knowledgeable, Attentive and Friendly Staff. Great Food and Rooms. Loved the Gardens and the Fountains.

I am so grateful for the Anaheim Lighthouse. My son has been an addict since her was about 16 he is 23 now. He has been to several rehabs, the Lighthouse 3 times. He is there now. He was not ready before. We live about 200 miles away and he wanted to go there again. He went through detox, then decided he wanted to do the program and now sober living. He even decided to move to Anaheim Area because of the support he get from them, We live in San Luis Obispo County. I can literally say that they saved my sons life. They made him feel so comfortable that he wanted to go there, He was ready this time. I would highly recommend Anaheim Lighthouse to any one that wants recovery and is willing to learn a new way to live. read more

This is an update post to one that I wrote a few months ago, just to let anyone reading this who is looking for help with their addiction or a family member's addiction know that there is hope, and the Lighthouse can help you. My daughter Laura went to the Lighthouse several months ago, and it was life changing for her and for the rest of our family. After 7 years of an addiction that nearly killed her and robbed her of her life, the Lighthouse and all of the kind, caring, knowledgeable people there, helped her and gave her the tools to take her life back. The staff there went above and beyond for her and for me. We have both remained in touch with personnel who have become friends, and Laura still goes to meetings at Lighthouse and keeps up with them in their AMAZING alumni program. Kylie helped her so much with getting started in this program, and Michael, her wonderful therapist (I said this before and I'll say it again) gave her the tools to stay sober. Honestly, everyone there is dedicated to helping you and not just there collecting a paycheck. Yes, it was up to her to decide to stay sober, quit making excuses, do the steps, get to meetings and stay honest in her recovery, and she is doing the work, but she couldn't have done it without them. She literally was lost, and they showed her the way. If you are really ready to give up your addiction and do the work to have a new life, this program WORKS! It really does. Laura will be 6 months sober in a couple of weeks. She is happy and healthy and loves her life now. She just completed her first semester ever in college and got an A in her class. If you had told me a year ago that today her life would be like this, I don't think I would have believed it. If you need help with addiction, please reach out to the Lighthouse and let them help you. I am SO glad we did. read more

I spent 5 days in detox for prescription medication. My pressure went through the roof and we thought I might have to go to Urgent Care. This 1 nurse named Kandice worked so hard at getting me stable and I applaud her for her tireless efforts. read more

Regarding lighthouse anaheim pearl street anaheim. I spent 70 days in treatment here 1310, during my stay i experienced some positive interaction with staff. Alexa my therapist, johnny my counselor and Alanya support staff, they were great. Overall the program is lacking in directive & education. It is an old social model program trying to be a medical model. Run by a group of lawyers. I leave it at that... There is inconsistent support by staff. Negative: fraudulent billing, untrained staff, drug use, racist interaction, the "N" word is used freely, along with intimation, drugs are smuggled between the units via the wall. The residents run the program!?!?!? I would not recommend this site! It's a business only in it for the money. One more thought, the guy who pretends he is in charge is a false entity. Claims to be in special forces? Why would you need to say that? Along with the other one that proclaims righteous indignation. Both (Chuck's) are useless!!! Also, maria, Martha, gloria (never got it clear on her name) who sits in her high tower on the other side of fence, is useless. Another old school unprofessional/productive entity. read more

I really like the lighthouse. I got to focus on myself and my sobriety and gained a big bag of tools to take with me to sober living. The staff is great and the facilitators were awesome. I feel like I'm a big part of the sober community now. Where as before I felt like a spectator just trying to stay clean read more
