It was totally unfair. I had never drank to access or abused any drugs, but I was paying for my husband's choice to do so. When he finally agreed to go to rehab, I thought my problems were over. I couldn't have been more wrong.After Ron had been there for 30 days, I was invited to the center to v...

The Lighthouse is a completely magical place where dreams are fulfilled and hope is brought to completion.
If I were shopping around I would want to honestly understand a few things first. Do they allow you to live a life independently structured where freedom and choice is a vital part of the program. Yes, they do.
The housing style is very accommodating with a few clients per apartment. Yes, my apartment holds five clients and the area is hardly frequented by staff. It feels like home, is equipped with Netflix and there are no limitations on bedtime hours or ability to fellowship with one another in this environment on our own time.
They allow you to have your cellular device while in the program as well. The food is outstanding and very wholesome; the kitchen is available and stocked with snacks twenty four hours a day. Family and friends can visit you on Saturdays and each weekend they allow you to travel to Walmart and shop for your own needs as well.
The majority of the above is based on comfortability, we just want to know if we can make it in a reasonable environment. This is to give you assurance that it is completely desirable and far above competitor locations.
On the recovery side of things we are given the option to acquire a sponsor allowing you visits any day of the week to meet and work on you 12 steps if you so choose. Otherwise groups are held daily and for about an hour each group. Every moment in between is yours to hang out and fellowship, kick back on some Netflix or exercise. We love playing games as well and ping pong is also a big hit here.
Give yourself a chance to recover in this magical place. What makes it magical is the staff members. For instance Mr. John Brown has impacted my life tremendously with his testimony and method of teaching, Mr. Rob (R.O.B) with his heart felt leadership style and Edmond who brings out the truth with his down to earth messages cutting sharper than any two edged sword.
I’m thankful that they all played a part in my recovery and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My only hope is that you by viewing this review, give them a chance to help save your life; making drastic changes that will impact your recovery journey forever. As John Brown would say, “even a bird with a broken wing has a song to sing”. So let’s hear your story!
