About Beacon House Association of San Pedro
You’ll find Beacon House Association of San Pedro in San Pedro, California, about 25 miles south of downtown Los Angeles. With over 50 years of experience, this residential program offers long term support for men recovering from drug and alcohol addiction.
Encouraging a Spiritual Awakening
What stands out most to me is their emphasis on spiritual awakening. This core part of the program encourages holistic healing throughout your recovery journey. You’ll benefit from finding deeper meaning in recovery and making significant changes to improve your overall well being.
Long Term Recovery Track
Another thing that caught my eye was their commitment to long term care. Men who haven’t found success in short term treatment might have experienced multiple relapses or deal with complex behavioral and substance use challenges typically benefit from this program.
You can access a phased approach with individual and group counseling, trauma processing groups, case management, personalized treatment planning, and immersive 12-step programming.
Workforce Development and Educational Opportunities
I also like that they offer workforce development. You’ll benefit from developing job skills, a strong work ethic, and a sense of purpose. You can work in their thrift store or complete a culinary training program to help you gain these essential skills.
You can also work with counselors to build educational and vocational goals. They’ll help you complete your GED, enroll in college courses, or start a trade program. You can even access scholarships, resource support, and tuition assistance.
Family Healing and Educational Support
Another great feature I noticed was their family reunification approach. They use a 9th step amends process to help you reconnect with loved ones after you demonstrate a meaningful personal transformation.
