The Lighthouse and its staff saved my life. I went in hopeless and broken and came out hopeful and armed to start a new life of sobriety. The team at the Lighthouse was nothing less than amazing. From the moment Jose picked me up from my home on July 7th, 2021 and until Greg (?) dropped me back off at home on August 9th, I was treated with nothing but respect, kindness and love. The tools that were provided to me helped me to feel strong and ready to take on this journey. The ladies that shared this journey with me will always hold a special place in my heart. I hope to meet some of them again as we trudge this road to happy destiny.
