This past year has been one of building godly relationships and learning to root my life in Christ Jesus. The work isn’t done, but I feel confident, steady, and deeply grateful.
God led me to the Lighthouse, walked me through every step, and placed me into a godly support system—the Alumni.
Thank You, Lord
Let me share the glory of my story. I was lost, broken, and desperate so I had to look for hope. This is where God has sent me to. I used to run the streets, looking for places to hide and cope. I kept praying for God to save me from myself so He did. The love I received and treatment came with joy, peace of mind and transformation. Opening up and trusting was the hardest but most bravest things I've ever had to do. I was hungry and thirsty for life, love and freedom. When I was empty they fed me. When I was down they lifted me up. Keeping me strong on my feet for so many reasons that touched not only my life but so many people around the world and also the supporters who care. These people support, pray and give so much of there time because they value our life. The love God has had for us stretches this far. Change is good and for me it's been worth it. For those who are watching the miracles happen thanks for your prayers and to those who are looking for freedom I encourage you to hit your knees and surrender yourself to a new world that only God's can offer you. Time and people has made me alive again I no longer have to fear my soul. There is true happiness and love concures all things.
I spent FOUR months at The Lighthouse and it was trauma with a smile. The program is thinly veiled control theater — staff policing your clothes, deodorant, hair, piercings and tattoos while preaching “holiness.” They gaslit people into forgiving abusers, shamed queer/trans folks (me), and normalized disgusting, predatory “jokes” by residents/staff. They used a funeral to promote their program and casually said a woman “threw herself in front of a train” like it was marketing. Food safety? Nonexistent — they leave milk out and act like that’s fine. They demanded makeup, jewelry, and expensive wardrobes while preaching humility. It’s fake, damaging, and dangerous. Do not send your loved ones here.

Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
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.
Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Clinical Services
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
