About Harbor Light Complex – Cleveland
The Harbor Light Complex in Cleveland, Ohio, run by The Salvation Army, helps men and women take steps toward recovery from substance use disorders. They provide drug and alcohol rehab in an outpatient setting, all within a city known for affordable living, strong community and access to some of the best healthcare facilities in the country.
While they accept Medicaid, they don’t work with private insurance. Whether you have Medicaid or not, you’ll still qualify for treatment at no cost. The Salvation Army never charges clients for services.
The Salvation Army, a faith based nonprofit, has been helping communities worldwide since 1865 with housing, food, and addiction recovery services. In Cleveland, Harbor Light has been a cornerstone since 1949. They’ve grown from a 10-bed program for homeless men with alcoholism to multiple campuses supporting adults with substance use disorders.
Their addiction treatment services are certified by the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) and the Ohio Mental Health and Addiction Services Department (OMHAS).
Certifications are something to pay attention to because it means a drug and alcohol rehab facility has passed a thorough and intense review. The review ensures the facility meets quality standards.
Many clients need medically supervised detox before starting rehab, especially for alcohol or opioid addiction. If detox is necessary then short term residential care is available through their withdrawal management program. If you’ve already completed detox then you can stay in temporary housing while you plan your next step in treatment.
Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a great option for people who need more support but still want to live at home. IOP involves a few hours of group therapy a few days a week. Treatment lasts for six weeks and includes 18 group therapy sessions. You’ll also attend community support meetings like AA, NA, SMART recovery and other faith based groups twice a week.
SMART Recovery is a unique feature of their program. It’s a science based, self empowering approach to beating addiction. You’ll learn practical tools for recovery in a supportive community of peers and professionals. Whether in person or online, you’ll create your own recovery plan.
