<p><strong>ABOUT THE SALVATION ARMY HARBOR LIGHT</strong></p> <p>Located in Indianapolis, The Salvation Army Harbor Light offers <strong>12-step treatment</strong> for adults struggling with addiction. Harbor Light provides full assessments, medical intervention during detox, a 14-day residential program, and various levels of outpatient care.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>Harbor Light provides 24-hour medical intervention for clients who are in acute stress as a result of addiction. Following an initial phone interview, an on-site physician conducts a full psycho-physical assessment to determine an individual’s <strong>length of detox as well as a medication regime</strong> to manage withdrawal symptoms.</p> <p>The <strong>two-week long residential treatment program</strong> is offered in a safe and structured setting. Clients can expect to participate in individual, group, and spiritual counseling; attend mandatory on-site AA and NA meetings; and learn recovery and stress management skills. Programming is also enhanced through social and recreational activities, weekly family groups, and HIV education and testing.</p> <p>Outpatient care is centered around <strong>cognitive-based group sessions</strong> that meet three times a week for three hours, over a period of eight to 16 weeks. Afterward, <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">group aftercare meetings</a> continue for eight weeks, and clients are expected to comply with random on-site drug testing. For those in need of <strong>treatment for gambling</strong>, the facility offers a special track that consists of eight weeks of gambling programming and two weeks of aftercare.</p> <p>In Harbor Light's <strong>transitional housing,</strong> clients are charged according to the type of room they stay in (semi-private, or dorm). For anywhere from one to six months, residents go through a five-phase program of reintegration involving <strong>12-step meetings</strong>. They receive three meals per day, clean linens, and access to on-site computers. Assistance in gaining employment and permanent housing are also available, with the overall goal of reintegrating residents back into their communities.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Initial assessments and medication regimes are handled by a staff physician. Detox is carried out by certified nursing personnel and supervised by a licensed physician.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided on Harbor Light’s website or otherwise regarding its living arrangements and related offerings, though five reviewers polled by Rehabs.com rated the facility <strong>3.9 out of five stars</strong> for its accommodations and amenities and four stars for its meals and nutrition.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Alumni polled by Rehabs.com gave median ratings, offering and average of <strong>3.4 out of five stars</strong> on the likelihood they'd recommend Harbor Light to others. They rated the facility 1.4 for holistic treatment offerings, 3.5 for affordability, and 3.6 for the staff’s level of experience and training. Comments mentioned the staff’s <strong>accessibility and understanding,</strong> and the program’s <strong>helpful structure</strong>, despite having noted <strong>an absence of holistic and physical activities</strong>.</p> <p>On Google, 10 reviewers rated Harbor Light an average 4.6 out of five stars to date, with eight five-star reviews.<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> Comments praised the facility’s <strong>staff</strong> and <strong>support of spirituality in recovery</strong>. Alum Leyla wrote: “They support the spirituality part of recovery. It's one big family family and I can say with certainty that the Lord brought me there and it saved my life!!!”</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>Two reviews to date from loved ones on third-party sites were split. On CiteHealth, an anonymous reviewer rated The Salvation Army Harbor Light three out of five stars and was "stunned" by payment issues, writing: "We paid for what was said to be two weeks and after 4 days the patient was put out, I would like an explanation."<small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> However, the other loved one rated the center five stars and thanked the facility for helping her mother-in-law on Google.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p><a href="http://treatment-facilities.healthgrove.com/l/15777/Salvation-Army-Harbor-Light-Center" target="_blank">Healthgrove</a> and <a href="http://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/indiana/cities/indianapolis/salvation-army-harbor-light-center" target="_blank">Citehealth</a> both show that Harbor Light accepts ATR vouchers and bases fees on a sliding scale. Currently, no information is provided on the facility’s website regarding its costs.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/dr0RxQ" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/dr0RxQ</a> </small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="http://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/indiana/cities/indianapolis/salvation-army-harbor-light-center" target="_blank">http://citehealth.com/rehab-centers/indiana/cities/indianapolis/salvation-army-harbor-light-center#reviews</a></small></p>
