What We Treat
Addiction is a mental health condition, one that affects the brain, behavior, and every part of a person’s life. At Lighthouse, we treat the whole person, not just the substance. That means addressing the underlying emotional and psychological factors that fuel addiction alongside the physical ones. Every treatment plan is individualized, evidence-based, and built around your goals.
Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol use disorder is one of the most common and misunderstood forms of addiction. Our team provides medically informed, compassionate care that addresses both the physical dependency and the mental health factors that make recovery sustainable.
Opiate and Opioid Addiction
Opioids affect the brain’s reward system in ways that make stopping extremely difficult without support. Our integrated approach combines medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when appropriate with counseling and peer support to give you the best foundation for recovery.
Fentanyl Addiction
Fentanyl is extraordinarily potent, and the risks it carries are serious. Our clinical team is experienced in treating fentanyl dependence with the level of care and close monitoring this substance requires.
Cocaine Addiction
Cocaine addiction often involves intense psychological dependence, mood disruption, and co-occurring mental health challenges. We provide structured treatment that addresses all of it, not just the substance use.
Amphetamine Addiction
Amphetamines can cause significant changes to brain chemistry over time, making professional treatment an important part of recovery. Our clinical team will work with you to develop a plan that supports both your mental and physical health.
Methamphetamine Addiction
Methamphetamine addiction can have a profound impact on mental health, including anxiety, depression, and cognitive changes. Recovery is possible with the right support, and our team is here to provide it.
Heroin Addiction
Heroin dependence carries serious health risks and often requires a carefully managed approach to withdrawal and ongoing recovery. Lighthouse offers medically supervised care, MAT options, and long-term support through every stage of the process.
Benzodiazepine Addiction
Benzodiazepines, including medications prescribed for anxiety and sleep, can lead to physical dependence that requires careful, supervised tapering and treatment. Our clinical team understands the complexity of benzo addiction and treats it accordingly.
Klonopin Addiction
Klonopin (clonazepam) is a benzodiazepine frequently prescribed for anxiety disorders and seizures, but long-term use can result in dependence. We provide specialized support for individuals navigating Klonopin addiction, including those who also need ongoing anxiety treatment for the underlying condition that led to the prescription in the first place.
Prescription Drug Addiction
Prescription drug addiction can develop gradually and is often accompanied by shame or confusion, especially when the medication was originally prescribed by a doctor. At Lighthouse, there’s no judgment here, only care. We’ll help you understand what’s happening and build a path forward.
Dual Diagnosis
Many people living with addiction are also managing depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, or other mental health conditions. When these occur together, treating one without addressing the other rarely leads to lasting recovery. Our dual diagnosis program is designed specifically for this: providing integrated care that includes depression therapy, anxiety support, trauma-informed counseling, and substance use treatment all under one roof.
Other Drug Addictions
If you’re dealing with a substance use disorder that isn’t listed here, please reach out. Our team has experience treating a wide range of addictions and will take the time to understand your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are mental health services like at Lighthouse?
Mental health services are professional, clinical treatments to support your emotional, psychological, and behavioral well-being. They include therapy, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and structured treatment programs for conditions like depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use disorders. According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), mental health treatment is effective, and most people who seek care see meaningful improvement in their symptoms and quality of life. At Lighthouse, our mental health services are integrated, meaning we treat substance use and mental health conditions together, because for many people, the two are deeply connected.
Does Medicare cover mental health services?
Yes. Medicare covers a broad range of mental health services, including outpatient therapy, psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and substance use disorder treatment. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Medicare Part B covers mental health services provided by licensed psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, and other qualified providers. Inpatient mental health care is covered under Medicare Part A. Lighthouse accepts Medicare, and our admissions team can help you verify your specific coverage before you begin treatment.
What is the Medicare-approved amount for mental health services?
The Medicare-approved amount varies by service. For most outpatient mental health services, Medicare Part B pays 80% of the approved amount after you’ve met your annual deductible, and you’re responsible for the remaining 20% coinsurance. If you have a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan, that 20% may be covered as well. For the most accurate and up-to-date information about your specific benefits, the Medicare website is the best resource, or you can call our admissions team and we’ll help you work through it.
What is dual diagnosis treatment?
Dual diagnosis, sometimes called co-occurring disorder treatment, is care for people who are managing both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition at the same time. The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) reports that roughly half of people who experience a mental health disorder will also experience a substance use disorder at some point in their lives. Treating both conditions together leads to significantly better outcomes. Lighthouse’s dual diagnosis program is built around this integrated approach.
Do I need a referral to start treatment at Lighthouse?
No referral is needed. You can contact our admissions team directly to get started. We’ll ask you a few questions to understand your situation and help determine the right level of care for you. If you’re not sure where to begin, that’s okay, figuring that out together is exactly what we’re here for.
