Each guest is required to work the 12 Steps as they are laid out in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous as well as attend 3 to 5 12 Step meetings each week. We offer in-house meetings that focus on meditation, education around addiction and recovery, as well as goal-oriented accountability. Due to the withdrawn nature of addiction, residents at Lighthouse Recovery are required to work or volunteer no less than 20 hours each week. We maintain a zero tolerance policy toward all substance use that is ensured through random drug testing and breathalyzing. We recommend each guest stay for a minimum of 3 to 6 months in order to build a strong foundation in recovery before fully integrating back into the community. Lighthouse Recovery seeks to help individuals heal from addiction as well as its underlying causes. Our approach supports each guest deepen their experience in the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous by helping them learn behaviors and practices that strengthen their foundation and inner development. Each guest is guided toward a lifestyle that is both healthy and meaningful while focusing on mending strained relationships with family and loved ones. These foundational pieces lay the groundwork for independent living within an integrated recovery program that is tailored to each individual. As guests establish themselves in fulfilling hobbies, improved family and social relations, and stable employment we begin preparation for their transition out of sober living into the community.
