We’ll leave you with some direct quotes from previous  participants:


“I believe the LIGHT House should be a model for treatment facilities across the United States and other neighboring countries”

“I was given everything I needed (freedom of choice) and tools to continue”

“This is the best program I’ve ever been in.”

“This is the most comprehensive substance abuse program that I have encountered, I’ve referred to it as a school because I learned daily.  It’s truly is a “healing environment.  Thanks for sharing.”
