Lighthouse Recovery Texas4.9 Based on 101 reviews fromJG S ★★★★★ Look no further than Lighthouse for Addiction treatment and recovery. Mike J., Brooke and the entire staff are as good as it gets.Let me reiterate- I wouldn't be alive if it wasn't for the direct efforts of Mike J. and the entire Lighthouse staff. They're the only ones that treated me as if I had a disease and gave me the toolkit needed to maintain long term sobriety.Heidi Stoddard ★★★★★ Lighthouse has been a blessing for our family. The Sober Living and Clinical programs provided a necessary combination for our son to commit to sobriety and have the community and support he needed to maintain it. The structure of the sober living program was invaluable to us in that we were able to speak with our Case Manager weekly for updates about our son’s progress and how he was showing up, and that provided us with one contact to give us coordinated information. The staff are professional and knowledgeable, and I truly believe we, as a family, would not be where we are without them. Recovery is hard, hard work, and at Lighthouse, they are willing to do that work with you and your loved one.Paco Gomez ★★★★★ From the day I got to Lighthouse, scared out of my mind coming from an inpatient rehab, to the day I left, 9 months sober and established in my recovery, the community, staff, and eventual friends i would make made sure that I was taken care of and that my needs were met. My therapist Sam at lighthouse made strides in a few months that i had been lacking in therapy for years. My case manager frankie was always a call away ready to screw my head on straight. i love this community and the new life i get to live as a result of the help i received while a client here.js_loader
