Guiding Light Mission

Provider Description

Guiding Light Recovery helps men with substance abuse problems achieve recovery from addiction. Our program is free, long-term, faith based, uses 12 step programming, and includes professional counseling.

Guiding Light Recovery helps men become sober through a combination of spiritual, 12 step, and therapy-based programming. Clients complete a 7–10 day probationary period and then are fully admitted into the program. During the day, our men follow a schedule which includes classes on spirituality and recovery, devotions, and daily attendance at AA/NA meetings. After four months in the program, our men receive free vocational support as they integrate back into the workforce. In addition, graduates of our program are eligible to apply for transitional housing at Iron House, a mission-owned residential property
