Lighthouse Recovery Institute Drug Rehab Center

1609 S Congress Ave, Boynton Beach, Florida, 33426
At Lighthouse Recovery Institute our goal is to provide individuals and families with a comprehensive addiction treatment plan. Under this umbrella we develop a tailor plan to help address the underlying causes and conditions which are attributing to the disease of addiction. Having a multifaceted approach, we address the medical, psychotherapeutic and social services approach to ensure every issue is addressed while an individual is in our care. Through this avenue we strive to help our patients rebuild trust and healthy relationships with their families and learn healthy coping mechanisms for all of life’s challenges.

Facility Highlights

  • Family Programming and support
  • Comprehensive Addiction Treatment
  • Long-Term Options Available

Specialization

  • Holistic Therapy

    Facilities that offer “holistic therapy” see and treat patients in the context of their entire lives and health status. They treat the “whole person,” not just the addiction.
  • Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

    Patients who undergo intensive outpatient treatment continue to live at home and sometimes go to school or work while participating in a highly structured treatment protocol that is focused on ending substance abuse. Programs vary in terms of how much treatment patients receive, how often and for how long. Some facilities design individualized intensive outpatient treatment programs.

I was a patient at lighthouse recovery institute for an entire year and I received an “administrative discharge” one day before my official discharge date. I paid my rent on time, attended groups, was compliant with my medication, as well as sponsored others in their program after I completed my steps. They chose to discharge me after one “bad attitude” incident that occurred while asleep on my sleeping medication after no accepting other clients back after multiple relapses, drug and alcohol use on property, relationships with the female clients, etc. Instead of allowing me to successfully complete the program, they labeled it as incomplete after a year of work. They are changing their entire clinical team. I do not suggest going. They will close soon.

My experience at Lighthouse Recovery in Florida was great. During COVID-19 the staff was diligent in their efforts to remain compliant in efforts to keep my daughter safe. I received communication weekly from the staff and felt like i was actually part of the program over the last several months. My daughter has begun to resemble the person i once knew, and feel hopeful for the future, a feeling that i have not had in a very long time. As our family has been brought back together I am not sure it would have been possible without the time we spent with lighthouse recovery institute and the staff there. The therapist was very helpful and insightful and the support staff was always there for my daughter.

This treatment center came highly recommended to me for my son. Unfortunately, because he is a teen, he does not meet the admissions criteria. However, I spoke at length on more than one occassion with Brittany Ringerson, Chief Executive Officer of the Lighhouse Recovery Institute. I was so impressed with her concern, her professionalism and her follow-up, that I felt compelled to write this review. I can now completely understand why this facility gets the reviews it gets and why it came so highly recommended.

I had a truly fantastic experience working staffs at Lighthouse. The situation surrounding my loved-one's need for recovery was daunting; multiple issues compiled to form a mere 'perfect storm' of chaos that had been plaguing my family (including two very young children) for years...mostly under the cover of denial. Turning over my trust to a staff for onboarding brought a first wave of much-needed peace I had been lacking for years; the knowledge that he was safe, under excellent care, and was going to receive exactly the treatment necessary to begin breaking through the walls surrounding his behavior and tendencies. With a tough financial situation on top of the dependency issues at the core of our need, worked with my family specifically to make the treatment most affordable, and compatible with the minimal contributions we were able to make; a real concession and sign of care. Once inside the facility, partnered with my loved one and spent hours with him one on one, as well as in a group setting, directing her level of care from both macro as well as micro areas. She was direct, frank, forthcoming, but never harsh or degrading, and assisted my loved one in gaining awareness to the plagues of his addiction he had so long been in denial of. Extremely rocked and unstable from the events myself, sacrificed her spare time to work with me via phone for hours; coaching me through my concerns, and listening to my emotional rollercoaster of feelings, top to bottom. She gave her time, her authenticity, her persistence and her full weight of capability into my loved-ones treatment, and though a long road ahead, he has benefited tenfold from that investment. I can only speak highly of Lighthouse, and the blessings they served as a catalyst for in my loved-one's recovery. Thank you to everyone there for your time and investment, but most specifically to staff members for championing the care.
