While many alumni praised the staff, several noted that there wasn’t enough funding and that there was a waiting list.</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>The three loved ones polled by Rehabs.com about Harbor Lights at the time of this writing had more <strong>polarized opinions concerning the facility</strong>. Two of the three survey respondents felt the facility’s accommodations were not conducive to sobriety. “Treatment fell short because it was not clean,” a loved one wrote, rating the level of family involvement and the treatment staff’s qualifications with two out of five stars. Another loved one felt the facility’s location was problematic, due to the availability of drugs. The loved one gave ratings of three stars for the facility’s counseling options and the level of family participation.</p> <p>The third loved one, however, felt the facility was overall effective. The survey respondent rated the facility’s cleanliness with five stars, though they offered a three-star rating for counseling options. “There were good people at this facility,” they wrote.</p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Clients receive most treatment services free-of-charge. As a part of The Salvation Army, Harbor Light is funded through charitable donations, revenue gained through its thrift stores, and fundraising efforts. The transitional housing program, however, does have associated fees depending on the client’s living arrangement.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/T2aizx" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/T2aizx</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> [https://www.facebook.com/saharborlight/](https://www.facebook.com/saharborlight/</small></p>
