Salvation Army Harbor Light System - Subst Abuse Ctr/Women/Children/Men

Urban Setting with Mission-Driven Care

Harbor Light combines the reach of The Salvation Army’s nonprofit mission with accredited substance use treatment. Clients begin recovery in a city-based setting with access to medical detox, residential stays of 10 to 90 days, and outpatient options that fit work and family responsibilities. Transitional and recovery housing provide added structure for those rebuilding stability.

Family-Centered Programming

The facility reduces barriers for parents by offering on-site child care and residential beds for children. Family counseling helps strengthen communication, while case management links households to essential supports such as housing and social services. These programs allow adults to engage fully in treatment without sacrificing their roles as caregivers.

Faith-Informed and Integrated Supports

Care extends beyond therapy rooms with pastoral counseling, grief support, and peer mentoring for those seeking spiritual and community connection. On-site services such as legal aid, integrated primary care, and recovery coaching address the broader challenges that often accompany substance use. This integration makes Harbor Light distinct in meeting clients’ practical and emotional needs together.

Specialized Services for Diverse Populations

Harbor Light tailors care for women, including pregnant and postpartum clients, alongside veterans, military families, older adults, and justice-involved individuals. Services for people living with HIV/AIDS, co-occurring disorders, and trauma histories are built into treatment plans. Evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, trauma counseling, and 12-step facilitation support recovery across life stages and experiences.
