Set in California’s Central Valley, The Light House Recovery helps adult women overcome drug and alcohol addiction in a safe Christian setting. Their 3-phase program includes 6 months of residential care and 4 months of
outpatient care. Women heal in a home-like space while learning tools to build a stable, sober life. The Light House focuses on three core values: support, accountability, and structure.
The Light House's office is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Phase 1 focuses on therapy and education, either in the residential or outpatient program. Phase 2 helps clients return to work. In Phase 3, clients move into at-home aftercare. During workforce training, many women gain job experience through Light-WEAR apparel sales, Cornerstone Coffee Company, or LadyBug Boutique—businesses connected to the program.
Clients take part in individual, group, and family counseling. Bible studies and life skills training cover topics like anger management, parenting, domestic violence, and basic office skills. These therapies help women rebuild confidence, grow in faith, and stay sober long after treatment.
The center reports an 83% treatment success rate.
