Faith-Based Approach to Recovery
As part of The Salvation Army, Harbor Light Center integrates spiritual counseling with evidence-based treatment. Clients can participate in on-site 12-step meetings, pastoral support, and therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing. This blend of clinical and faith-based services reflects the center’s mission of treating the whole person, body, mind, and spirit.
Multiple Levels of Care
The facility provides a continuum of services, beginning with 24/7 medically supervised withdrawal management. Residential treatment follows a structured 28-day program with relapse-prevention education, counseling, and life-skills development. For those stepping down from residential care or seeking flexible options, intensive outpatient programs (IOP) run 8–16 weeks, offering therapy three times a week during day or evening sessions. Aftercare services extend support beyond discharge.
Structured Housing and Vocational Support
Recovery continues through the Ambassador transitional housing program, a five-phase model that emphasizes accountability, independence, and reintegration. Residents live in semi-private or dorm-style rooms, receive meals, and have access to an on-site computer lab and 12-step meetings. Vocational rehabilitation, employment counseling, and education programs are designed to help clients rebuild stability in work and community life while maintaining recovery.
Specialized Services and Accessibility
Harbor Light offers distinctive programming for trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and gambling. Health education, routine testing, and case management further support long-term wellness. The center accepts adults of all ages, provides sign language services, and offers payment assistance on a sliding-fee scale. A crisis-intervention team and suicide-prevention services enhance safety, ensuring care is accessible and inclusive.

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.
Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:
- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.
- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.
- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.
- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.
Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.
How we evaluate treatment facilities
These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.
Important disclaimer
We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
