He made me feel heard and understood exactly what I was going through. He gave me really great advice and knowledge on addiction. Unfortunately, we weren't able to go with them because of insurance reasons but, he was very helpful, attentive and reassuring. If pacific sands is anything like Conor than I know anyone who comes here will be in great hands.

I just want to say that Tommy the administrator that we contacted is an amazing caring person. We…read morewere lost confused and honestly scared. We had no idea what to do. Even though Pacific Sands wasn't right for our situation Tommy contacted and got us in contact with people who were. He followed up with us even though he had no reason to. I can honestly say Tommy is exactly where he needs to be doing exactly what he is doing. I can only imagine that if this is the first experience with this facility the rest has to be just as amazing. I can never in a review express how much you helped us. Thank You

I'd give Lighthouse 10 stars if I could. I don't know where to begin on how thankful I am for this…read morepeace of heaven on earth. Being my first time in treatment, I didn't know what to expect or what I had committed myself to but, Lighthouse was there for me every step of the way. From detox to completion of treatment, I received nothing but love, support and respect being as broken as I was. They treated me with compassion, understanding and operated within God's grace while taking care of me every step of the way. Through their help and programming, I was able to not just rehabilitate my health. They helped to rehabilitate my mind. They were able to do for me in 3 months what I was incapable of doing for myself. Because of Lighthouse, I have my life back. My marriage is back on track, my kids have their father back but most importantly I restored my relationship with God during my stay. I couldn't have done this without their help or support. I was failing on my own. Lighthouse made it so that I was able to focus on healing myself from the inside out. Thank you so much for church, gym, yoga, offsite meetings and all the extras like game night and movie night. It was the first time I had done (or was able to do) any of those things sober in YEARS. Thank you so much for the clinical groups, motivational speakers and panels. It opened my eyes to a difference in perspective and understanding when it came to addiction and how much people need to be loved. Truly humbling. A special thank you to Tyler and Teresa for doing such a great job at the facility. Between staff and taking a look around, it really does show how much they care about what they do. Thank you to everyone at intake, the front office and administration. With all your patience and calm demeanors, you make it look easy. Shout out to kitchen staff for all their hard work and making sure everyone there was always well fed (miss the food for sure). Taco Tuesdays were the best! Thank you to the nurses and doctors. You always made sure we had what we needed when we needed it. When it comes to staff, it's extremely difficult for me to pick favorites. They are ALL great. It's apparent that going above and beyond is their standard mode of operation. With that being said... Special thanks to: *Candice. The most bad a$$, straight forward, sweetest person I've ever met. Thank you for your honesty, positivity, caring and being straightforward about everything. *Edmund. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and wisdom when it came to the reality of dealing with real life circumstances. *Mike! FAFO, don't be late! Thank you for the discipline you incorporated into the program and showing how much you cared that we all succeeded. *Austin. Thank you for being so down to earth and taking the awkwardness out of being honest about addiction. I'll never forget the game "In My Addiction." It shined new light on how I wasn't alone in the struggle and helped me to be more open about myself. *Alfonso. Thank you so much for having those real, heart to heart conversations with myself and the group, sharing how the dynamics of our behavior shapes our habits which influences our lives (no loitering!). *Joey. Thank you for all your encouraging, compassionate declamations amongst the groups showing kindness is alive and well. *Rob. Thank you for your constant, positively radiant attitude and the diligence you incorporate into all you do. *Kaylee. Honestly, thanks for being awesome with everything and everyone. *Liz. Sooooo good. Thank you for educating me on my blood pressure and the importance of the numbers and what they signify. Your energy was always fun to be around. *Ronnie. Thank you for always trying to help a brotha' out. *Timmy. Thank you for your patience with me while making sure I was taken care of in detox. *Paddy. Thank you so much for your sweet, caring demeanor and the encouragement you gave me in detox. Lighthouse was truly my home away from home. Their hearts are in everything they do. Thank you tremendously for everything. Keep up the great the work and God bless you. -Samuel Sa

4/5 Stars -- Helpful Program, Some Room for Improvement…read more I recently completed a few weeks of treatment at The Lighthouse, and overall, I had a positive experience. The program itself was very helpful, and I met a lot of genuinely good people along the way. The staff were also a major positive. Ronnie, Rob, Tim, Stephanie, Jenna, and several others were supportive, helpful, and made the experience better. That said, I do think there are a few things prospective clients should know going in. The living conditions aren't necessarily dirty, but they feel a little more like a cheap motel than a treatment facility and could definitely use some renovation and TLC. I also felt somewhat misled about the living arrangements and phone privileges. Once you're settled in, phone access is limited to about two hours a day, and you live in a house with 4-5 other people, with three bedrooms and two people per room. Despite those drawbacks, I'm grateful for my experience and for the people I met. The treatment and support I received were genuinely helpful, and I would still give The Lighthouse 4 out of 5 stars overall.
