Why PNLH

Over 35 years of experience helping people find a path forward

Why PNLH? Since 1990, Personalized Nursing LIGHT House has helped people across southeastern Michigan take the next step toward recovery from substance use disorder. We understand that reaching out for help can feel overwhelming, whether you are seeking care for yourself, supporting someone you love, or looking for a trusted referral partner.

PNLH provides compassionate treatment, recovery housing, and support services designed to meet people where they are. Our programs offer structure, safety, connection, and practical help during some of life’s most difficult moments.

Trusted care for clients, families, and referral partners

For more than 35 years, PNLH has worked with community partners, coordinating agencies, healthcare providers, and families to help connect people with the right level of care. Our team understands the urgency that often comes with substance use treatment. We work to make the admissions process clear, respectful, and supportive from the first call.

Whether someone needs withdrawal management, residential treatment, outpatient services, recovery housing, peer coaching, or case management, PNLH offers a continuum of care that supports both immediate needs and long-term recovery.

Support that goes beyond treatment

Recovery is not just about attending a program. People may also need help finding safe housing, reconnecting with healthcare, accessing benefits, building daily routines, and feeling supported by people who understand recovery.

PNLH combines clinical care with peer support, case management, and recovery housing to help reduce barriers and support stability. This whole-person approach helps clients stay connected to care while building a stronger foundation for the future.

A history of innovation in recovery services

PNLH has been a leader in developing treatment options that combine care, housing, and support. Our Intensive Outpatient Program with Domicile and Enhanced Outpatient Program with Domicile help people stay engaged in treatment while living in a stable, recovery-focused environment.

These services are especially important for people who need more than a weekly appointment but do not always need hospitalization. They also give referral sources and families a trusted option when housing, structure, and support are part of the recovery need.

Guided by compassion, respect, and consistency

At PNLH, care is grounded in dignity. We know substance use disorder affects people, families, workplaces, neighborhoods, and communities. Our goal is to provide support that is respectful, practical, and focused on each person’s ability to heal and move forward.

Every call, referral, and admission is treated with care because asking for help is a meaningful step.

Treatment with housing support

PNLH helped pioneer Intensive Outpatient Programming with Domicile, or IOPD, in Michigan. This program combines structured outpatient treatment with recovery-focused housing, giving clients support, stability, and connection while they work toward recovery.

P

Extended support for continued recovery

PNLH developed Enhanced Outpatient Programming with Domicile, or EOPD, to support clients who benefit from outpatient care and a stable living environment. EOPD helps reduce barriers to treatment while supporting long-term recovery.

Care that supports the whole person

Recovery often involves more than treatment alone. PNLH provides peer coaching, case management, recovery housing, and practical support to help clients address needs related to housing, healthcare, benefits, daily stability, and community connection.
