How long is long-term treatment? This depends on the individual’s personal progress at Beacon House. We provide individuals the time and space required to heal from their past and forge a new future. We believe that long-term treatment is essential to maintaining sustainable, lasting recovery.
Our Mission Statement describes helping residents realize their “full potential”. For us, the vision of an individual’s full potential typically includes: multiple years of sobriety, a sober support network, emotional stability, healthy behaviors and habits, higher education or certifications, and employment in an industry or field of their choosing. We like to say that we give our men the time they need to build the life they want.
Though the program has evolved over the years, the basic tenets of our approach to recovery remain intact. Our social model program relies heavily on peer-to-peer feedback and mentorship. We emphasize character building and spirituality, and the curriculum offered to our men is rooted in a 12-step program. After 50 years of experience, we have consistently demonstrated that Beacon House has a successful model for personal transformation.

Our Vision
Our Values
Over 50 years of helping men recover from alcoholism and addiction to other drugs
The welfare of our residents and their recovery experiences are prioritized above all else
Our social model and peer-to-peer feedback cultivate a healthy recovery community
We are committed to providing the highest quality of care, ensuring that each client has the opportunity to reach their full potential
Decisions will always be informed by qualitative and quantitative data to ensure the highest quality of care for our residents
We will never make business decisions that would jeopardize the integrity of our residents’ recovery or organizational sustainability
Alongside our desire to preserve what works, we must necessarily be willing to persevere, create, and innovate. An organization can’t survive, let alone thrive, for over 50 years without some degree of grit, determination, and creativity. That is why we encourage autonomy, ownership, and an innovative spirit among our employees: being creative, engaging in continual process improvement & performance improvement, forever looking to grow and adapt and be better. We preserve what works, but our competitive edge is our ability to continually find better ways to operate and perform.
