All I can say is that when God led me to this program, I didn’t know what to expect. Now I can say that He definitely led me to the right place to get the help I needed for so long!
I was in the Intensive Outpatient Program for 60 days. The group sessions taught by some great facilitators gave me so much insight about myself, my addiction and how to overcome all the issues in my heart. God used this place to CHANGE MY LIFE FOREVER. He even gave me the perfect therapist and counselors that were like-minded in my faith and healing process!!
I also met some great people seeking to recover and heal like me. We still connect from time to time and go to meetings!
I highly recommend The Lighthouse to help you get over and get through one of the toughest seasons of your life! I know it was mine and now I am FREE, loving and living life in victory!
