Reviews from Lighthouse Clients and Families

We are honored to have the opportunity to work with clients and families from across the United States.

Here’s what they have to say about their experience at Lighthouse.

Julie 777
What can you say to someone who has given you back your son? “Thanks” is not enough… not even close! If you are reading these reviews, and you have a loved one dealing with addiction issues, you know it feels like this crazy, terrible, fear-fueled circus ride you are on, and even when you are... begging for it to stop, it just keeps going! All the while, you love the person, but you feel helpless to help them.We felt we had lost our son to drugs about 8 years ago, so when we sat down in 2023 to talk to the team at Lighthouse, we were tired, devastated and fearful of our son’s future. We did not know what to do, but the destruction of addiction had taken a terrible toll on our family. I had heard about Lighthouse from my son’s doctor about 3 years earlier, and I had even called and talked to a friendly, young man at Lighthouse named Grant. He was amazing and helpful. But, my son was not ready to go. Grant gave me options and said to call him if I needed any other help.Fast forward 3 years. We tried to talk to him. We cried. We pleaded to stop the drugs. Finally, we told him he would have to move from our home. We offered rehab and said we were 110% behind recovery but would no longer be able to help him while he chose drugs. I felt my heart breaking! It was interesting to see how over the last eight years, he had lost jobs, friends and so much money over this drug. Now, no one was bailing him out and no friends were opening up their doors for him to come stay with them.History: Our son had graduated at the top of his class. He had taken Calculus and was in National Honor Society. He had been an active youth leader in our church! How could he have chosen to start smoking weed? And what started as a fun past time with friends, quickly spiraled downward into an all encompassing addiction that would take every dime, and every thought from him . It demanded everything from him.In April of 2023, our son hit a bottom, and my dear Uncle was able to talk to him, and he called us and said he would go to rehab. While at rehab, we gingerly started talking about sober living. At first it was a resounding “no”, but we told him we had looked at the top sober living homes in Dallas, and Lighthouse came out on top for us. We told him that everyone was kind and helpful.Lighthouse is amazing. A young man named Augie told us his story and the part about living in his truck was similar to our son’’s story. We also met Frankie who helped give us a tour of one of the homes. He answered questions. Grant was right there too! They offered hope! But the best is that our son then talked to Grant while in rehab, and he started considering it. He entered Lighthouse July 1, and he was there 10 months. He did the full program at Lighthouse! It was such a great program!Tears fill my eyes on this next part, he called me today on FaceTime to show me his Christmas tree, and the X-box he had purchased from a pawn shop! He has pawned so many gaming systems for drugs in the past, and now he had purchased one from a pawn store! By the way, while at Lighthouse, he saved and bought a car on his own (men at Lighthouse mentored him on finances). He got a good job while at Lighthouse! He is now living in a nice apartment, has a dog and a girlfriend. He has been at his job 14 months. And he was calling to invite his mom and dad to dinner! Like I said, “Thank you” is just not enough!The staff is incredible! Bryce and Frankie are so good with our son. They still mentor him. Steve mentored him and taught him how to handle his finances. Dr Keels is wise and insightful in the middle of it all, and we needed that! Mike Jones has assembled an all-star team that gives young men their lives back.We had to get creative with our finances to do this step. I want to be honest about that, but there are so many ways to get creative, and we just felt we had to give our son this shot….. worth every penny!I cannot recommend Lighthouse enough!! I know the pain of losing my son for years, and now getting him back! PRICELESS!! And I pray that for you too!read more

Our Lighthouse advocate, Frankie Gomez, kept us constantly informed about the status of our family member while in their sober living environment. He and his team’s professional approach provided us with a friendly face we could contact with questions or concerns at any time, day or night. Being... exhausted, distraught parents, we never imagined feeling so confident after each update about the holistic and personal approach Lighthouse provided. We have a lifetime friend in Frankie and would recommend his experienced group of lifesavers without reservation. We believe Lighthouse is very well named – call them and see for yourself. They are an outliner among many other options.read more

Love the whole lighthouse team and community, the helped me get back on my feet. Bryce Hand, Frankie Gomez, Steve Cobb and Luke Caudell have all made a great positive impact on my life.
Brian Mosley
Words can't describe enough how much Lighthouse Recovery has helped our son. Their "real world" approach to recovery seems to provide him with the tools needed to thrive in actual day-to-day living.
Julie Adelson
Lighthouse was a blessing from the moment the owner Mike offered his time, understanding, patience and commitment to my son and our family. They have an incredible team approach and weekly follow ups to help the family understand and support each other. They went above and beyond to make sure my... son was safe, accountable and healthy. We were unable to provide him with a car and getting to work, doctor appointments, meetings and gatherings was never an issue. When visiting, we were welcomed with open arms and still stay in touch. Also, we had a wedding during his treatment time and his case manager Michael flew home with him so he could feel safe and participate with the family. This week my son will be 1 year sober and getting him to Lighhouse was crucial to both his health and ours. He learned to be more respectful, responsible and most importantly to learn to live a healthier lifestyle. Thank you for your commitment and never giving up on him!!read more
Theresa Zdorov
Lighthouse was exactly the support my son needed as he embarked on the next phase of his recovery journey. The program provided a safe and highly structured environment, which was crucial for his healing. The comprehensive support he received from the staff was instrumental in building his... confidence and equipping him with the necessary tools to navigate a sober life. He was able to engage in valuable therapeutic activities that focused on personal growth, all while surrounded by a community that fostered accountability and understanding. This nurturing atmosphere helped him gain the skills and resilience needed to face the challenges of sobriety with newfound strength and optimism. I want to express my gratitude to Grant, Bryce, Frankie, Brooke Keels, and Mike Jones for providing my son with this opportunity to heal.read more

Lighthouse Recovery has been an instrumental piece in my clients recovery. The entire staff is knowledgeable, kind & experts in the field of recovery. I wish I could give 10 stars!
J Michael Fowler
I have worked in the addiction field for over ten years. I’m proud to be a small part of Lighthouse because of the communication, Ethics, and most importantly care for our clients and Families
Ally Edelman
Bryce is the crème de la crème and a wonderful representation of lighthouse!
Luke Atkins Barnett
Went to Lighthouse for Aylmer Buford Atkins III’s, Amy Smith Atkins’s, Teresa Diane Allison Mueller’s, Reeves Crawford Atkins’s, Charles Colvin Atkins’s, Carter James Bodell’s, Abby Leigh Loncar’s, and so on’s substance & mental health issues that are the exact polar opposite of my issues.... Lighthouse was sharp and keen to see an abusive trap for what it was. My one month there with my severe disability in which there is a Valium-like substance in my cerebrospinal fluid that is acting as a benzodiazepine on my body (hence tho “exact polar opposite” issue dynamic) was tough but they were understanding and at least as helpful as they could reasonably be in getting out of my way and being nice and supportive. Now I’m back at Harvard crushing it in life and still dealing with my exact opposite issue of what people that go to Lighthouse go there for combined with the logistical fallout and chain reactions of me having to get sucked into these types of situations in the past (never again) due to a lack of understanding of my rare case of GABA-related idiopathic hypersomnia that Lighthouse helped elucidate to others. Appreciate it, you guys!read more
Jan Clinton
From the moment I reached out to Lighthouse, I knew my son would be well cared for. From detox all the way to recovery, they were there every step of the way. They have a wonderful staff of counselors, coordinators, and the management team were always available to answer questions. It was a... difficult decision in one regard because he would be two states away. But it was what was best for him. Lighthouse was the best fit for him to get past his alcoholism. If you are interested in full treatment options, I cannot say enough good things about Lighthouse.read more
Hayley Clinton

Andrea Clinton

Brady Young
Lighthouse was able to help me and my loved one struggling with addiction overcome their struggles. Very grateful to lighthouse and their staff
T. Parker
If you are reading reviews about Lighthouse Recovery of Texas, then you are probably a member of the club nobody wants to join. Originally, my review started with how our journey through the insanity of addiction led us to Lighthouse. I changed my mind because we all have a story and ours isn’t... unique. Your story is what brought you here. Be grateful it did.Never one at a loss for words, I struggle to adequately convey how much the people at Lighthouse mean to me. My son is a current client, and I am leaving this review in real time. The level of engagement and confidence I am seeing in him is proof this program is a good fit. I dare to say “this time feels different”. 😉 Every member of the staff with whom I have had contact has been open, compassionate and patient. I have come to rely heavily on the expertise and guidance of case workers Michael and Frankie and clinical supervisor Nora to support my son’s sobriety and life of recovery in the healthiest way.Read the reviews and know this: The Lighthouse program IS unique. It is real life. It is tailored to your person and you. The staff support system is made of people who have lived the struggle and believe in the fight. They work 24/7 to give the highest level of care to clients and their families. I don’t know what I’d do without them and I’m grateful to have a Lighthouse Recovery of Texas chapter in my story.read more
Scott Townend
Incredible programming & staff!
Katy Mosley
Lighthouse has been the biggest blessing to our family and I’m so thankful everyday that we found them. The staff is incredible, from the owner to case managers, house managers, clinical team, etc, everyone communicates and functions as a team. Our son is thriving and has found his joy again in... sobriety. The model lighthouse uses is so affective, moving through recovery in a real life setting and it makes all the difference. I have and will continue to recommend lighthouse to anyone in need of help breaking free from addiction.read more

Best rehab I’ve ever been to!
Gabriel Lafee
Exceptional.Pure and stern to what life is supposed to be given the perspective that I have learned in my sobriety. I will forever be grateful to LH Recovery for the beautiful experience and family I was able to acquire in my time here.
Will Piot
From treatment for 60 days to sober living, Lighthouse provided a safe transition for me and my family. The PHP, IOP, and SOP led by Heather, Sam, and Brooke respectively were excellent. I learned about myself, grew in recovery, and processed stressful life events with professional counselors.... Lighthouse gave me invaluable tools to cope with anxiety, anger, and depression for when I left. The house provided an opportunity to develop authentic relationships with guys in recovery.read more
Rich Incandela
I think lighthouse laid down the the groundwork I needed to become the sober adult I am today. Having support from a team of people who actively pushed me to better myself was what I needed to get sober and push past my character defects.Anyone who needs a safe place to rebuild their sobriety... should go here!(Photo is of the chip the owner gave me for hitting one year in sobriety, he went out of his way to pick a color I would like. Thank you Mike, I still appreciate all that you do for the guys)read more
Sam Bloom
Lighthouse has incredible, compassionate, experts.
Matt Bush
Lighthouse recovery is a game changer. This place is a facility that has helped make me a better person, allowing me to learn the how’s and why’s of addiction, mental health as well as life skills. I recommend this Center to anyone in need of long term sobriety and managing day to day life skills.
Shelly Tillery
Lighthouse Recovery offers exceptional, sober living treatment and outpatient clinical services. The facilities are extremely nice, and the staff is professional, kind, and extremely knowledgeable in the treatment of addiction. I have nothing but an A+ review on every aspect of their treatment... services. My son thrived here where her floundered in other facilities. They are a blessing!read more
Reece
Lighthouse was just what I needed to get back on my feet. Not only did they help me learn how to stay sober but taught me various life skills and built me a social network that will be useful for the rest of my life
JG 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.read more
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.read more
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.read more
Adam Winn
My experience at light house was like nothing else. Coming hot out of rehab I did not want to go into a sober living community. I was recommended to light house by a family friend and I’m glad I chose the choice I did to become a member of a great sober community. Right away you can tell the... staff/managers truly care about how the client is feeling and can relate 100% because they had been in my exact shoes. It was super easy to reach out when I was in need and all of the staff’s attention was turned to me. I felt safe and secure, and truly cared about.Above all that I made the closest relationships I have through this program. To anyone who questions if this is the right place… I can say it really is.read more
bryce hand
Lighthouse gave me the blessing of a fresh start and a safe environment to get my life back onto a sustainable road. The community as well as the program of Lighthouse has developed me into a person who found living sober to be enjoyable and most importantly possible. They are able to truly inspire... hope for us through fellowship, guidance and willingness to do the next right thing. On top of this they have the best of the best when it comes to a clinical team of therapists that understood me and my addiction. Thankful for every moment spent with the wonderful people at Lighthouse that are trying to provide solution for others like me.read more
Jake Elder

Das Andy
There's a place in my heart for the people at Lighthouse. I can attest to them caring and working really hard to find the best method of treatment for you. I am gratefully in a better place because of them, thank you to everyone at Lighthouse!
Shawn Massey
Great staff and facilities. Their primary focus is the patient and giving them the support and tools they need to take the next step.
Tillie Pyatte
After leaving short term rehab our 18 yr old son lived at Lighthouse for 10 months. Worth every dime. It helped start him on his journey of sobriety and make connections for next steps after sober living.
Allison Cash
In a desperate need of finding a good treatment center for IOP, I found Lighthouse in 2021. They were amazing every day I was there. The previous center I went to was harsh and strict; Lighthouse was not like this at all. Each person that works there was supportive and invested in my recovery. I... found great success in completing their IOP program and they even helped me resolve my legal issues.read more
Joe Masinter
A family member went through Lighthouse IOP and Sober living with astonishing results. Not only were the staff capable, but they cared for him even when he did not care for himself. I would recommend Lighthouse to anyone in the DFW and/or Texas area looking for quality of care, service, and... leadershipread more
Maria Walker
I have so many positive things about wonderful team at Lighthouse Recovery Dallas. My experience with them was as a parent of someone in recovery. They walked me through the insurance process and communicated with me through every step. Mike Jones and the team truly care about the people who... come to them for help. They personalized the experience and this made all the difference. They were firm but compassionate. I am so thankful for the care my loved one received and the trajectory that her life has taken since going through their program.read more
Ashley Martel
Outstanding treatment! The owner is ethical and involved, the clinical director is very knowledgeable and advocates for her patients, the admissions and outreach people are passionate and available! What more can you ask for? I have NO reservations about referring patients to Lighthouse!
Dylan Hollingsworth
Throughout the years I’ve sponsored many men at Lighthouse and always appreciated the owner Mike Jones and the accountability, encouragement and guidance he and the team provided for the residents. After many years sober though, I relapsed in 2019, and found myself in a dark place again. My family... suffered greatly and so did I. After spending time in treatment, I then stayed for a time at Lighthouse so I could slowly reintegrate into family life and to give my family time to get fully comfortable with my presence. It was just what we all needed and helped me get on my feet again as an individual so I could ultimately return to life at full strength. Also, the community support and the counseling Lighthouse provided only enhanced the recovery I was pursuing through the 12 Steps. This is a good place for a guy in early sobriety to safely reintegrate back into life, work, family and society and I’m forever grateful for the role Lighthouse has played in mine and my family’s life, as well as many other men who have stayed there through the years.read more

Amazing people behind a wonderful organization. I’ve been working in the recovery field for many years as a recovery coach, and know how hard it can be to find treatment or sober livings that are trust worthy and actually care about clients the way we need them to. Lighthouse Recovery Texas stands... out as one of the best I’ve come across. Whether treatment or sober living is necessary for one of my clients, LRT will remain at the top of my options list.read more
