Anaheim Lighthouse

Addressing Each Person’s Unique Experience with Others Who Understand

Treatment plans help those struggling with trauma, including from PTSD, childhood abuse, veterans’ combat service, and more. Trauma-informed care incorporates evidence-based therapies like motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). A dedicated program helps veterans address substance use and related concerns (including PTSD, chronic pain, and depression) with family involvement and structured discharge planning for transition back to everyday life.

Clinical Care Supported by Optional Spiritual Approach

The Twelve-Step framework offers on-site meetings and peer-led groups to help clients build accountability and community. For those who are interested in a more holistic approach, optional spiritual counseling and mindfulness practices are available to help clients engage with faith or spiritual practices. This option complements the program’s clinical methods, like therapy and medications for addiction treatment (MAT).

Cozy Homes with Spacious Feel

On a quiet residential street, the campus comprises multiple homes and includes renovated living spaces, outdoor patios, and meditation gardens. Dietary needs are accommodated with chef-prepared meals. As clients move through levels of care, they can participate in fitness and wellness activities, such as gym sessions, hiking, beach walks, yoga, massage, art, and music therapy. These activities help reduce stress, rebuild daily routines, and strengthen coping skills. There are designated smoking and vaping areas and transportation assistance is available.

Keeping Recovery Strong After Treatment Ends

Recovery planning begins before discharge with relapse prevention, life skills training, job-readiness support, and case management. Staff help graduating clients find peer support and community resources that extend structure beyond residential care. The alumni program offers ongoing community events, connecting alumni with peer encouragement and accountability after treatment.
