ABOUT LIGHTHOUSE TREATMENT CENTER

Located in California’s Orange County, Lighthouse Treatment Center offers residential treatment and outpatient programs for adults dealing with substance abuse and dual diagnosis. Our facility provides medically monitored detox services on-site.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

Residential treatment at Lighthouse is gender-specific and based on the 12-step program.

  • This place saved my life. I went to the Lighthouse in July of 2017 and it was the best decision of my life. I did my intake and she was so sweet and listened to everything I had to say and she genuinely cared. She offered me food and water and made sure I was comfortable as she started getting into the more personal questions about myself. I got moved to treatment where the staff explained everything that would happen in the upcoming weeks and what to expect. They made sure that I had essential items like a tooth brush, tooth paste, shampoo and conditioner. They said that if I forgot anything or ran out to let them know and they would try to provide it. My counselor I met with her once a week if not more and went into detail about my plans for when I got out of treatment. She would check in on me throughout the day and made sure I was doing okay, and she was never too busy to not talk to me when something was wrong. The staff was always willing to talk to me if I was feeling down or just had a question about anything. They care about all their clients and want what is best for them. After leaving my life has been amazing. They have an alumni program where we get to go on outings and fellowship with one another. I get to go back every Sunday to the place I call home and interact with the current clients and give them hope for the future. If it wasn't for The Lighthouse I wouldn't be where I am today. My sponsor is a Lighthouse alumni. Many of my best friends are people I met while I was a client at the Lighthouse. The lighthouse is my home and the clients, staff, and alumni are my family. They are always there for me whenever I need them. Thank you Lighthouse for everything! So many strengths! Making it very comfortable to express your feelings They tend to give in more to people who throw fits which is not fair to those who try really hard to better themselves today.

  • My first experience in a rehab facility was at the LH. I was afraid and didn't know what to expect. The staff treated me exceptionally well from the beginning! I quickly felt comforted and at home. The LH not only provided me tools that I still use today, the LH showed me how to live life and show up sober! The Alumni program is awesome, it helps me stay connected to recovery! Thank you for saving Me LH! Xoxo

  • Access to resources, such as snacks, phone, outside 12 step meetings and the gym was great. Knowledgeable and helpful staff and therapists. Management and coordination could use a little more strengthening. Accurate schedule of activities. It takes willingness to get serious about recovery to get sober and stay sober and live a happy life.

  • I spent 90 days at the light house after haven been in four other treatment centers before. By far light house has one of the best programs I have been to. The staff is bar none; specifically my counselor. She always had my best interest in mind, advocated for me, went above and beyond, and was well versed. She is one of the best counselors I have had the privilege of working with and was instrumental in my recovery and staying 90 days. My therapist was excellent in addressing all of my issues and was easy to work with. I can attest to the amazing program the light house offers and feel confident in my recovery as a direct result of the program. I would recommended it to any and everyone. The cooking was amazing. The cook cooked 5 star meals that never disappointed. One guy on the support staff, has a working knowledge of the big book and truly helps saving peoples lives. All of them, along with the footwork I have done are responsible for helping me become the man I am today. Life is up hill from here today, thank you the light house. I will never forget my past or where I once was.

  • I spent 5 weeks at the Lighthouse this is my second time at the Lighthouse, and I am pleased to say I truly believe I am going to make it. I have learned many new coping skills, and a solid relapse prevention plan thanks to the awesome groups lead by counselor's and therapist's. I would like to take a moment to thank support staff for always being available to talk to about the 12 step program and his knowledge and insight. My counselor was a great advocate and always had my best interest at heart. She was always in good spirit and had a positive outlook even when I doubted myself. The staff here are truly caring!! I have my life back. and I'm excited to live life on life's terms without no longer having to put a substance in my body to numb my feelings. I look forward to coming back in a year to take my 1 year chip, and I will be staying connected with the awesome Alumni Program they provide to client's. One last but not least shoutout to the discharge coordinator for making sure I had a solid place to go before my discharge was final. He has a head full of resources and staff will always have a solid plan when you are ready to leave treatment. They will never just throw you out on the streets. I recommend anyone battling addiction to reach out to this program for help.
