family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Maybe they have been able to help a lot of people but honestly not in my case, they are not comprehensive and are too close minded to offer me what I needed.

Thank you for your feedback. Our records do not indicate that you were an employee. It appears you were assigned by an agency. However, it is disheartening to hear of your experience and this matter will be investigated. Our continued goal is to maintain a healthy environment for all. We wish you the best in your future endeavors.

I came through this program in 2013 for the 3rd time in 2 years. I was broken and ready to change. Harbor Light gave me the tools I needed to become who I am today and I am so grateful that they took in an addict like me. I was a chronic relapser, but they always welcomed me back in with loving arms. I would not have been able to come as far as I have without the guidance I received from the HLC and their amazing staff.

From a family perspective, this Center is a godsend. They are compassionate but no-nonsense. They were able to answer all our questions and put our family member (about to detox) at ease. Unfortunately our family members who have this problem are often secretive. The way the staff approaches that is to just ask the questions head-on that need to be answered. They didn t make her feel ashamed but instead underscored that with hard work, she could reclaim her life. I don t say this lightly God bless you all.

This place saved my life! I needed real , in your face recovery and the reality check that HLC gave me. I had been everywhere numerous times and it wasn t until I went back for the 3rd time that it stuck. There s good and bad everywhere, but the pros outweighed the cons tremendously. If you re willing to get sober it doesn t matter where you go, but this place is a great start.

I got out of Harbor light Center on my 19th birthday after 2 weeks of detox, and I can honestly say the staff, the way it was ran, and even those that were there for the same reason as me, have made a BIG difference in my life today. It has been almost a decade and i now have a healthy family and doing great.

If you have no insurance and can't afford $1800 a day for a spot at other comfy detox rehabs, Harbor Lights is the only place to go that I know of. If you donate money to charities, Salvation Army Harbor Lights has one of the lowest Admin cost. For every dollar you donate most goes for helping Addicts and Alcoholics, not paying a paper pusher or the CEO of the company. Most, not all of the complaints I have read are caused by being understaffed and extremely underfunded. If you have ever delt with a person going through withdrawal symptoms, you know they are very agitated and short tempered. They can be verbally and physically abusive. Try dealing with that every day and see how it affects you, if you have a loved one that is in recovery or are clean and sober yourself. Please consider donating to Harbor Lights, you would be helping others who can't afford it. Trying to detox at home with no medical care is pain that I can't describe, I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Hello Tony, Thank you for your review. We hope this finds you safe and well. It is encouraging to hear your feedback and support as we continue efforts to help those in need of our services. Thank you for your trust in our donation process as well. We take pride in how we utilize contributions to serve the needs of our communities. This is embedded in our mission and purpose and is the reason for our existence. Thank you, again. SA Harbor Light Center Team
