The Light House Recovery Center: Vicki Luna's Journey
“The Beacon of Hope”
I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life.” John 8:12
Providing a Permanent Path to Change and Empowerment
Vicki Luna wanted to make a difference for women. After having worked with many women struggling to get on the right path, she grew frustrated when she continued to find these women right back in the same situation. The system was broken, only offering temporary help. It was a frustrating cycle and left her feeling unsatisfied.
With a heart full of compassion and desire for change, Vicki asked for guidance through prayer. She needed guidance in helping these women make a lasting impact. She decided to branch out on her own. She envisioned a home where women could find a permanent way out of the cycle and set them up for success.
The Light House Recovery Center quickly became a place of refuge and transformation for countless women. The center went beyond supporting their immediate needs. Vicki wanted to address the causes of their struggles by providing tools that would help them to rebuild their lives.
Vicki believed that every woman deserved a chance to reclaim her life, free from the chains of addiction, abuse, and hopelessness. The center’s principal mission is to bring light into the lives of those who had been walking in darkness.
Comprehensive Care for Lasting Change
Vicki understood that lasting recovery required more than just the physical aspects of addiction. It required healing the mind, body, and spirit. The center offers a range of programs designed to support women in every area of their lives, including:
Counseling and Therapy: Individual and group sessions focusing on emotional and psychological healing.
Life Skills Training: Practical workshops aimed at equipping women with the skills needed to live independently and confidently.
Spiritual Support: Faith-based guidance and support to nurture the spiritual well-being of the residents.
