Thoughtful, evidence-based addiction treatment tailored to you.

Recovery is possible with a decision to change and the right support to get you there. For nearly a decade, Lighthouse has helped clients and families build real, lasting recovery. The way forward begins here.

“Addiction is a complex condition with real underlying causes – and with the right support – people recover. We built Lighthouse to be the kind of treatment we’d want for our own family members. That means clinical excellence, real accountability, and a relentless focus on the client experience.”

Chief Clinical Officer, Dr. Brooke Keels

Extended Care Treatment

Extended Care Treatment is our signature platform – having been continuously refined for nearly a decade – designed for male clients generally aged eighteen to thirty. It’s a six to twelve month residential and clinical experience that combines sober living, structured outpatient treatment, psychiatric support, case management, and a full life-skills curriculum. Throughout the program, clients build the skills and confidence they need to live a life of independence. It is a program of action – high accountability and consistent, real-world application of those skills.

The program is designed for clients who need more time, more structure, and more support. Many come to us after multiple treatment episodes without success. Others are navigating trauma, shame, failure to launch, or co-occurring mental health conditions for the first time. Whatever the path in, the goal is the same – address the underlying causes – not just the symptoms – through a relational, progress-based, and shame-free approach. Clients graduate not just sober, but prepared with the necessary foundation, resilience, and confidence to lead a sober and fulfilled life.

Outpatient Programs

Our outpatient programs provide structured clinical care for clients who don’t require residential treatment – or who are stepping down from it. Partial Hospitalization (PHP) is daily programming for those in early recovery who need structure and accountability. Intensive Outpatient (IOP) offers flexible scheduling for those ready to balance treatment with work, school, or family. Both are designed around the same principle – personalized care that addresses the underlying causes of addiction, not just the symptoms.

Lighthouse has set the standard for outpatient treatment in Dallas. Groups sizes are capped at eight – well below the industry average – creating a space for deeper work, stronger peer connections, and real attention from clinicians. A custom-built curriculum designed in-house by our Chief Clinical Officer, Dr. Brooke Keels. Masters-level clinicians with expertise in trauma, attachment, family systems, and dual. This is outpatient care designed to the highest standard.

The team at Lighthouse is exceptional, and it’s clear this work is a calling for them. Our son has grown and matured here, and we’re grateful he’s become part of such a supportive community.

The team at Lighthouse truly cared for my child as a person, not just a client, and kept me supported and informed every step of the way. They became an extension of our family, and I’m deeply grateful for everything they did.

The Lighthouse program is unique – it’s real life, tailored to your person, and supported by staff who have lived the struggle and believe in the fight. The engagement and confidence I’m seeing in my son is proof this is working.

The staff at Lighthouse communicates and functions as a team, from ownership to case managers to clinicians. Our son has found his joy again in sobriety, and the real-life model makes all the difference.

I came in struggling with addiction and had lost almost everything, but Lighthouse changed my perspective on life. The people here are top class and truly care about your health and wellbeing – I’m forever grateful.

From detox to recovery, Lighthouse was there every step of the way with a wonderful staff always available to answer questions. It was the best decision for my son, and I cannot recommend them enough.

As exhausted parents, we never imagined feeling so confident about our son’s care – but Lighthouse’s holistic approach changed that. They are an outlier among programs, and we would recommend them without reservation.

Lighthouse has been a blessing for our family – the combination of programs provided exactly what our son needed to commit to sobriety and maintain it. Recovery is hard work, and they are willing to do that work with you and your loved one.

Right away I could tell the staff truly care – they had been in my exact shoes and made me feel safe, secure, and supported. I made the closest relationships of my life through this program, and I can say it really is the right place.

The team at Lighthouse walked me through every step, and their personalized, firm but compassionate approach made all the difference. I’m so thankful for the care my loved one received and the trajectory their life has taken since.

We felt we had lost our son to drugs eight years ago, but after Lighthouse, he now has a job, an apartment, a car he saved for, and he’s calling to invite us to dinner. What can you say to someone who has given you back your son?

The beauty of Lighthouse is that they allowed me to experience real life – like getting a job – while still receiving long-term treatment in a loving, caring environment. This was my 7th treatment, and it’s the one that worked.

Our son had been in and out of treatment for over 10 years, but Lighthouse gave him the aftercare, community, and sense of self-worth he was missing. He’s now been sober almost a year – we have our son back, and he has his life back.

Peace is the first word that comes to mind when I think about Lighthouse – the staff understood exactly what my loved one needed, and I wholeheartedly believe this program saved his life.

Lighthouse’s comprehensive program was exactly what my son needed to get his life back on track and start believing in himself again. The homes are beautiful, and the staff truly care about the residents.

After researching several programs, we chose Lighthouse for its individualized approach – and our son built a strong foundation during his time there. He’s now thirteen months sober and back in college.

Choose Lighthouse.

Lighthouse is committed to compassionate, evidence-based treatment and fostering a supportive environment where patients feel valued, respected, and empowered to achieve lasting sobriety.

Comprehensive
Approach

Recovery doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Lighthouse combines clinical care, psychiatric support, life-skills training, family work, and continued support into one integrated program designed to address every aspect of a client’s recovery. Whether someone is in our outpatient programs or our Extended Care platform –  they’re getting holistic care –  with every component working together to build lasting recovery and an independent life.

Client-centered philosophy

We treat people, not diagnoses. Every client’s journey begins with a comprehensive assessment, and every treatment plan is built around their unique history, their personal goals, and the level of support they actually need. Our approach is progress-based and shame-free, focused on understanding and addressing the underlying causes of addiction rather than simply managing symptoms. Recovery is deeply personal, and we believe treatment should be too.

Accountability

We work with clients who are ready to do the work. That means high accountability – required meeting attendance, regular drug testing, weekly case management, and clear expectations throughout the process. For some of our Extended Care clients, the decision to come to treatment was made by their family, not themselves, and that’s okay. We meet clients where they are and help them find their own reasons to stay, because lasting recovery requires willingness – and our job is to create the conditions where that willingness can take root and grow.

Clinical Excellence

Our clinical team includes masters-level clinicians with real expertise in trauma, attachment, family systems, and co-occurring disorders. Groups are capped at eight clients – half the industry average – because meaningful therapeutic work requires attention that simply isn’t possible in larger settings. The curriculum is custom-designed in-house, and we maintain JCAHO accreditation, the highest standard in healthcare. Every piece of our clinical infrastructure exists for one reason: to deliver the kind of care that actually produces lasting change.

Nationally Recognized

Lighthouse has been part of the Dallas recovery community for almost ten years, and in that time we’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of clients and their families from across the country. That longevity has shaped everything we do – our clinical approach, our programming, the team we’ve built – because we’ve learned what actually works and what doesn’t. When clients and families are looking for the right fit, they tend to find their way to us.

    Research consistently shows that individuals who achieve two years of sobriety are five times more likely to stay sober long-term. Our programs are designed to give individuals the necessary skills, ability for practical application, and accountability needed for sustained recovery.
  • 90 days


    A minimum of 90 days is needed to begin restoring normal brain function responsible for decision-making, impulse control, and emotional regulation. Recovery isn’t just about stopping substances – it’s about building the necessary skills and relationships, required to live independently without them.
  • 50%+


    Nearly 50% of individuals with a substance use disorder also have a co-occurring mental health condition. Research shows that integrated treatment, which addresses both disorders simultaneously, leads to significantly better outcomes than treating each condition separately.

How do I know if treatment is really necessary?

If you’re asking the question, it’s worth a conversation. Addiction doesn’t improve on its own, and waiting for things to get worse often makes treatment harder, not easier. Signs that professional help is needed include repeated failed attempts to cut back or stop, consequences piling up at work, school, or home, strained relationships, withdrawal from people and activities, or any involvement with legal or financial trouble tied to substance use. If any of this sounds familiar, treatment is the appropriate response. And if we’re not the right fit, we’ll point you in the right direction.

What is required to start?

An open mind  – we’ll bring the solution. Starting is simpler than most people expect. The first step is a phone call -we’ll ask some basic questions to understand the situation and determine which program might be the right fit. From there, we’ll verify insurance benefits (if applicable), schedule a clinical assessment, and coordinate a start date. In many cases, clients can begin within a few days. Real, lasting change is possible. We’ve seen it happen hundreds of times. If you’re ready, we’re ready.

What if my loved one doesn’t want to go to treatment – or doesn’t think they have a problem?

This is common, and it doesn’t mean treatment can’t work. Many of our clients – especially in our Extended Care program – arrive because their family made it clear it was time, not because they were ready on their own. That’s okay. Willingness doesn’t always come before treatment –  sometimes it develops during treatment once the fog begins to lift and real progress becomes possible. Our program is designed to meet clients where they are and help them find their own reasons to stay. If you’re considering making the call on behalf of a loved one, we can help you think through how to approach that conversation.

What’s the difference between inpatient, outpatient, and extended care?

Inpatient or residential treatment typically refers to short-term programs – often 30 days – where clients live on-site at a facility and receive intensive, round-the-clock care. Outpatient treatment allows clients to live at home (or in a sober living environment) while attending structured programming during the day or evening. At Lighthouse, our outpatient programs include Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP), both of which provide clinical care without requiring clients to live on-site. Our Extended Care program combines the best of both worlds – clients live in one of our structured sober living homes while attending clinical programming, receiving psychiatric support, case management, and life-skills training over six to twelve months. It’s designed for clients who need more time, more structure, and more support.

How much does treatment cost, and will insurance cover it?

Our clinical programs – Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) – are covered by most major insurance providers. We’ll verify your benefits before treatment begins so you know exactly what to expect. The sober living component of our Extended Care program is not covered by insurance and is paid privately. We’re happy to walk you through costs, payment options, and what your insurance will and won’t cover – just give us a call.
