Ocean

Do we ever get to go to the ocean?

Of course. It is only three blocks away.

Nutrition

What is the food like?

We have a chef that cooks breakfast, lunch and dinner. He is conscious of the relationship between nutrition and sobriety.

Slip Ups

What if I drink/use while I am in the program at the Beacon House?

The Beacon House is totally committed to sobriety so you will be asked to leave for a 24-72 hour period. It is possible to be readmitted depending on your attitude and level of commitment.

Lock Down Facility

Is Beacon House a lock down facility?

No. After an initial period of restriction (usually two days), residents are encouraged to go on walks with each other and venture out into the community with the idea that they will probably experience triggers. Then they can come back to the house and process their feelings with the group and with counselors.
