The Lighthouse Treatment Philosophy
Extended Treatment programs give individuals the accountability, structure, and real-world applications that are necessary for long-term success. For this reason, Lighthouse focuses solely on long-term treatment and has built each subset of our program utilizing a holistic approach.

Comprehensive
Our programming balances a variety of clinical modalities and a focus on life-skills training, giving clients the insight, experience, tools, and confidence they need to lead rewarding and independent lives.

Transparent
Recovery is a process that requires real change, starting with an intensive and often uncomfortable confrontation with reality. We’ve worked to guide hundreds of clients and their families through this transformative experience.

Individualized
Each individual’s circumstance is entirely unique, as are the drivers behind one’s addiction. Our staff-to-client ratio, program structure, and holistic approach allows us to work on a customizable basis with each client.

Evidence-based
It’s no secret people struggle in recovery and often return to treatment multiple times. Nearly all cited studies show dramatically increased success rates when Inpatient Treatment is followed up with aftercare programming.
We adhere to - and surpass - the Treatment Industry's highest standards.
The Benefits of Outpatient Treatment
Outpatient Rehab is a necessary part of the treatment continuum for someone discharging from a Residential Facility. It can also be the starting point for those who cannot leave the commitments of work, family, or school to attend a 30-day Inpatient Program.
Our programs, such as Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) provide structured Clinical Support, but give individuals the necessary skills, opportunities for practical application, and the time needed to treat the underlying causes of one’s addiction.
Upwards of 95%+ of individuals will relapse within 6 months after completing ONLY a Detoxification or Residential Treatment Program.* In a recent study, 27% of individuals going through an Opiate Detoxification program relapsed within ONE DAY of discharge.
Key Takeaway: Outpatient Treatment is a necessary part of the Treatment continuum.

90% of individuals needing Substance Abuse Treatment do not seek help.* As often as we work with clients who have completed a 30-day Residential Program, we see clients who are unable to leave behind work, home, school, or other obligations for such a period of time.
Key Takeaway: Outpatient Rehab reduces barriers to Treatment and offers more people the ability to seek help.

Five times more individuals are likely to succeed long-term, having already achieved two years of sobriety.* Our Outpatient Programs give individuals the necessary skills, ability for practical application, and accountability needed for sustained recovery.
Key Takeaway: Substance Abuse and Co-occurring Mental Health Disorders are complex and cannot be treated quickly or symptomatically.

Modern Therapy
Key Takeaway: Compared with Inpatient care, Outpatient services have at least two advantages: increased duration of treatment and the opportunity to engage and treat consumers while they remain in their local environments.

Real-time Support
Key Takeaway: Outpatient Programs are incredibly helpful when individuals are in early sobriety and dealing with relapse triggers. Accountability during these early stages is critical.

Young Adult Usage
Key Takeaway: Programs such as Sober Living when combined with Outpatient Clinical Programs can be an effective solution for young adults as they’re still able to work and/or attend school while developing a life in recovery.
