The 40 to 59-year-old male, who was named F.H. and reported staying at the facility for 90 days, gave Beacon House five out of five stars for its holistic offerings, its cleanliness, its overall quality of counseling, and the frequency and consistency of its meetings. "I had been to many programs in the past, Beacon House is by far the hardest program ever, it's not for everyone," he wrote. "If you complete it you will never need another.</p> <p>Beacon House also fared well on secondary sites, where it earned average ratings of <strong>4.9 out of five stars</strong> based on nine Google reviews<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> and <strong>five out of five stars</strong> based on 34 Facebook reviews<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> (which the facility has the ability to manage). Former clients across both sites described the program as life saving and the staff and caring and compassionate. "I have yet to come across a treatment center that offers the amount of care, support and treatment that the Beacon House offers," Joe told Google in a representative review. "This program is willing to put in the time and effort that allows men to achieve lasting sobriety.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The two loved ones surveyed by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing gave the facility <strong>mixed reviews</strong>. </p> <p>One anonymous parent of a former client was impressed with the program, and awarded the facility four or five out of five stars its counseling options, its exercise offerings, its pricing, and its cleanliness. Weaknesses, according to this parent, were the facility’s family involvement, which received just two stars, and its staff support, with earned only three stars.</p> <p>The other anonymous reviewer, whose cousin attended the program, indicated that although the Beacon House had a “very friendly staff” and a “family like environment,” the “organization, professionalism, and quality were lacking.” They gave the facility only three out of five stars for its treatment effectiveness, its family participation, and its cleanliness, and just one star for its counseling options, its treatment of <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring disorders</a>, and its staff’s level of training and experience.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>According to the facility’s website, no one is turned away for lack of funds. The nonprofit works on a <strong>sliding scale</strong> for fees and does not accept health insurance.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=The+Beacon+House+Association+of+San+Pedro+in+San+Pedro%2C+CA&oq=The+Beacon+House+Association+of+San+Pedro+in+San+Pedro%2C+CA&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i64l3.195j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x80dd3634183a3673:0xc075b869307ab6,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/beacon.house.167/reviews/?ref=page_internal" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/beacon.house.167/reviews/?ref=page_internal</a></small></p>
