Introducing the Lighthouse for Men
The Lighthouse for Men is the newest addition to Greenbriar Treatment Center's continuum of care.
Housing twenty-five men recovering from drug/ alcohol addiction as well as those who are Dually Diagnosed, the Lighthouse for Men offers long term, drug free treatment as an extension of their recovery process. Throughout the course of their stay, residents will be exposed to a variety of treatment experiences, including:
Individual Therapy
Individual needs are addressed on a regular basis and counseling sessions will focus on the promotion of self sufficiency and independent living
Group Therapy
Therapy groups are conducted on a regular scheduled basis. The purpose of group therapy is to carry the message of recovery through such issues as self esteem, relapse triggers and goal setting. Group members are encouraged to openly participate in a safe forum under the guidance of our professional therapy staff.
|
Peer Group
Peer groups provide residents the opportunity to offer each other support and encouragement throughout the treatment process. Group members explore common experiences and successes with each other as they learn how their behaviors impact those around them in a community living environment.
Life Skills
The development of effective recovery life skills is a primary focus of treatment at the Lighthouse for Men. Throughout their stay, residents will learn to become proficient in life skills such as managing medications, taking responsibility for medical and psychiatric appointments, financial responsibility, household management and healthy recreational activities.
Attendance at 12 Step recovery groups, as well as understanding the importance of an ongoing committment to their recovery is a daily component of life skill training.
Community Meetings
Daily community meetings are held to focus on the residents’ day to day responsibilities as a member of the Lighthouse for Men community. Assignment of house tasks, review of house and program rules and overall community concerns are among the issues addressed.

Educational Group
Educational groups are held several times weekly and address topics ranging from basic recovery concerns to overall health and nutrition.
Staff
Upon admission, each resident is assigned to a therapist skilled in the treatment of addiction and dual disorders. Treatment planning from admission to discharge is a combined effort between the resident and his therapist.
The House Manager is available on a daily basis to assist with the development of life skills, such as shopping and meal preparation, personal well-being and the overall management of the house.
Residents will have the benefit of a full time psychiatric nurse Monday through Friday for medication consultation and education. Greenbriar Treatment Center's Director of Psychiatric Services will provide treatment and consultation several hours each week and Medical Doctors will be on site to address any medical concerns.
Treatment Technicians will round out our 24 hour staff and will bring with them years of recovery experiences to share with the residents, as well as being available to assist them with assignments, offer support and serve as a positive role model for recovery.
