Justin's Lighthouse

Justin's Lighthouse is different because it slows down the recovery process to delve into the root causes of addiction. Rather than a "race-to-the-finish" approach, the program focuses on teaching clients to own their responsibilities, make their words have meaning, and develop a spiritual life-style in an intimate, 5-person setting.

They offer a long-term residential program for men, which includes integrated outpatient and aftercare services. They also provide support for medical detox by coordinating with an off-site physician.

Yes, they treat co-occurring mental disorders. Treatment is provided through counseling and by coordinating care with an off-site doctor who can assist with diagnosis and medical needs.

The therapeutic approach focuses on identifying core issues such as self-sabotage, learned helplessness, and delayed immaturity. They also provide comprehensive relapse prevention education through individual and group counseling.

The core program is not 12-Step based. However, they do encourage it and take clients to off-site 12-Step meetings for those who find them beneficial and wish to attend.

It is not strictly faith-based, but it does emphasize developing a "spiritual life-style." The owner and primary counselor, Miles Lewis, is also a minister, so a spiritual component is part of the program's foundation.

Inpatient (or residential) addiction treatment involves living at a facility full-time while receiving intensive, structured care. Outpatient treatment, by contrast, allows clients to live at home while attending treatment sessions on a scheduled basis. The choice depends on the severity of the addiction, the person's living situation, and whether they need the structure of inpatient care or can manage the flexibility of outpatient treatment.

Justin's Lighthouse was founded and has been offering services since 2007.

The estimated self-pay cost for the 90-day residential program is $15,000. Additional costs include an initial doctor's visit ($550), follow-up visits ($100 each), and the cost of any prescribed medications. The outpatient program is included in the residential cost.

No, Justin's Lighthouse operates on a private-pay model and does not accept or bill health insurance. This allows for greater flexibility in creating long-term treatment plans tailored to the individual.

Detox services are not provided on-site. However, they facilitate the process by taking clients to an off-site doctor who can prescribe comfort medications and MAT. Clients then detox in the comfort of the residential house.

Yes, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) such as Suboxone is permitted. This is managed through their affiliated off-site physician.

The program is designed for long-term recovery. A stay of 90 days to one year is recommended, depending on the client's needs. The program is booked in 90-day increments.

The living situation is a comfortable, ranch-style house. Private rooms are not available; all clients share rooms. There are 5 beds distributed across 3 bedrooms, fostering a close-knit, supportive environment.

No, it is not a lockdown facility. Clients are free to go outside for walks on the property. However, they are not permitted to leave the property unsupervised.

Yes, smoking and vaping are permitted in designated outdoor areas. Cell phone use is restricted for the first 30 days to a set phone time (6pm-7pm). After 30 days, clients are allowed to have their phones with fewer restrictions.

You should bring about a week's worth of comfortable, modest clothing, personal toiletries, any prescribed medications, and important documents like your ID. Comfort items like journals or books that support recovery are also encouraged.

Please leave weapons, drugs or alcohol, paraphernalia, explicit materials, large amounts of cash or valuables, and any clothing with drug references or offensive language at home.

The facility is a single, ranch-style house in a suburban neighborhood, not a large campus. This creates a more personal and intimate setting for recovery.
