About Lighthouse Sober Living Home Indiana

Their 10,000 square foot all-male campus houses 31 men who are on the road to recovery. Beds are in a large shared dorm or smaller shared bedrooms. A hot evening meal is served daily and residents can use the kitchens to prepare their other meals.

Residents will participate in 17 recovery hours each week and will get to attend sober functions such as dances, workshops, conventions and more. They will be given local employment (including for residents who are felons) and help with education and job readiness so they can rebuild their lives.

Lighthouse Recovery Home does not accept insurance. They offer scholarships for those who cannot afford the resident service fees.

It's 2 steps away from being community corrections, 1 or 2 steps away from being a cult, I was FORBIDDEN, from talking to someone in recovery that's still sober to this day, just because they were mad about how they moved on, and didn't stay at lighthouse. It's good for a month,

It was all around horrible. I was there for about a month relapsed left for a detox came back was doing ok I was discharged for not having a job, but because I was struggling to get a job not because I wasn’t trying, cause I was. Besides that they tell u service work is labor that is worthy of being paid work, which isn’t service work they use you until your useless to them, they show favoritism, they don’t care about your recovery. They pretend that they do but when it comes down to it they will show their true colors. The assistance director has no idea how to run a recovery home. She thinks restricting people just because she feels like it will make you do better but it drives people away. A lot of people have left in the passed 2 months because it’s poorly ran or have been discharged because they don’t care about you they care about $. The director or assistant director get mad at u or about something and everyone suffers. They are inconsistent and lie constantly, change rules all the time, tell u one thing then the next it’s something different. The only person there that comes close to caring about you is their house manager Mark he is actually a good person. But the rest are corrupt and will discharge you quick or write u up quick just cause they’re mad or because they can’t control you. I mean if it was reasonable I get it but what they do all the time isn’t reasonable very displeased and this was my first recovery home wouldn’t recommend to newcomers to recovery or people that have been in recovery before. And just to clarify most of these reviews are old and may be lies in place by people in management trying to bring people in and may not even be in the Lafayette branch the Lafayette branch is horrible you could ask anyone there everyone for that matter I bet off the record they will agree with me and tell u the truth as well.!

If you enjoy authoritarian management, gnats in your eating space, and the mentality of the 80's, then this is the place for you! They pitch a sale of a peaceful place to recover, but change the rules every other week. Whitney is a woman on a power trip, running a house of men. She was furious when she had to get a real job, and couldn't hang out with her kids in a rent free place anymore. They will take your personal electronics if you make them mad, and insult you in front of people to feel a sense of power. Least professional director I've EVER had the displeasure of encountering. When they can't refute something that is unreasonable, they just say "it's a part of the program". Beth (the owner) is mentally stuck in the past, and runs off of "TV is the devil, and you aren't supposed to enjoy recovery" mentality. The management also lies, and shifts blame to keep you off of their backs. A total lack of accountability all around, making for one of the worst living spaces I've ever experienced. And I've lived in crack houses. Do yourselves a favor, and find somewhere else.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
