When you’re a college student, being a Beer Pong champ will definitely get you bragging rights.

Whether you're recently clean and sober or a long-term recovery veteran, relapse is always a risk. You may slip up, run into triggering events, or find yourself suddenly unable to cope with cravings.

Drug Use in US Prisons

Most people know that a large portion of the U.S. prison population is incarcerated for drug use, where they are presumably kept away from substances and forced to withdraw and recover from their addiction. Fewer people are aware of the extent of drug-related incarcerations (17% of all inmates in...

The 7 Hardest Drug Addictions to Kick

More than 23.5 million Americans are addicted to drugs or alcohol, but only 11% of those addicted ever get the treatment they need. Many people attempt to quit themselves, often trying and failing multiple times – sometimes never succeeding. This pattern mimics one that many of us see in our ever...

Can a Good Parent Support Drug Legalization?

The United States is in the midst of a trend of drug legalization, and at any given time, you can likely look around to see a new legislation supporting legalized cannabis in almost any given state. At the same time, the increasing prevalence and acceptance of legalized marijuana is leading to in...

The Top Six Female Recovery Memoirs

It's tough being a female addict. Heavy drinking is often viewed more negatively in women than in men, women tend to progress faster in their addictions than men do, and we don't recover at the same rate. In fact, a study completed in Germany shows that alcoholism is twice as fatal for women than...

States Consider Involuntary Commitment for Addicts

As the parent or loved one of a person who is addicted to drugs of any kind, their addiction can be both painful and worrying. Drug addicts often change their behavior, personality, and often act as though they don't care, but more importantly, they consistently put themselves at risk.Drug addict...

I have relapsed once since getting sober a little over a year ago, and I never, ever want to go through that again.

Self-Sabotage: Am I Harming My Recovery?

For the longest time I was my own worst enemy, and I didn't even know it. My family was too hard on me, my friends didn't care, and my insurance didn't pay for enough treatment. As an addict, I chose to numb myself with alcohol rather than deal with any uncomfortable feelings. As an addict in rec...

Kevin Carnes

Thank god for the Lighthouse!! This place is amazing, I went there and they took me to Alcoholics Anonymous, which gave me a solution to allow me to become an active and productive member of my family and society. I did everything that was suggested like going to sober living getting a sponsor and working steps. They have an amazing Alumni program with Heidi as the coordinator. The alumni program helped me tremendously I learned accountability by taking commitments at meetings, learned how to have fun sober, and use normal coping skills instead of using or drinking. I am super grateful for this place the staff really cares and anyone that’s willing to put in the work to recover will find the help they need at the lighthouse!
