Beacon House

Beacon House The Beacon House Association of San Pedro is a long-term substance abuse recovery center You can learn more at www.thebeaconhouse.org.

The Beacon House Association of San Pedro is a state-certified, residential substance abuse recovery program for men with a sincere desire to achieve long-lasting abstinence from drugs and alcohol. As residents of the Beacon House, the men are provided with food, shelter, counseling, peer group support, educational opportunities and career training through social enterprise programs, including a T

hrift Shop. This allows the men to develop the life, career and social skills they need to build a foundation in recovery, while preparing them for a strong reintegration into the job market and a bright future when they return to their family, home and community. Recently named one of the best addiction treatment centers in the United States by Newsweek Magazine, men from 39 states across the country have received treatment at Beacon House. The organization has grown over the past 50 years to encompass a full city block in San Pedro, California, adjacent to the Port of Los Angeles, including six residential facilities with the capacity to house 110 residents, as well as a kitchen/dining facility. With the support of our donors and the local community, we have helped thousands of men get a second chance at life and regain their place as responsible, productive members of society.

A group of our men recently volunteered to help set up for the annual Alma Park Picnic.

They showed up ready to work, handled the heavy lifting, and helped make the day run a little smoother for the event organizers.

Thank you to Alma Park Neighbors for giving our men this opportunity and for your dedication to improving the community we all call home.

Shopping secondhand feels better when you leave knowing your purchase is helping someone change their life. The man helping you find the perfect piece of furniture may also be finding a renewed sense of purpose. The friendly face ringing up your items may have just celebrated one year clean and sober. Every interaction is part of a much bigger story.

At Beacon House, we help men bridge the gap between treatment and a successful, independent life. Addiction often disrupts education and career development, leaving men without the skills needed to support themselves. That's why our residents work in our thrift stores. They learn responsibility, teamwork, communication, and how to go the extra mile for those around them.

Shop or donate with confidence knowing your support is helping our men build a brighter future for themselves.

A little inspiration and the right supplies can go a long way.

After a recent trip to the art store, our resident artists have everything they need to begin bringing their ideas to life for this October's Heart of Recovery Gala silent auction.

We think you're going to love what they come up with.

At Beacon House, our men learn that how they start the day sets the tone for everything that follows. That’s why, after breakfast each day, they grab a partner and head out for a morning walk. It's a chance to get their bodies moving and have a meaningful conversation before the day really gets going.

Healthy routines are an important part of recovery, and these daily walks help our men put that into practice. If you see them out on their morning walk, give them a honk. They’ll appreciate the encouragement.

Leo came to Beacon House knowing he couldn't keep living the way he had been. His addiction had isolated him, hurt the people closest to him, and left him filled with shame and self-hatred. Feeling completely defeated, he came to the program with a willingness to change.

Through recovery, Leo discovered a new purpose: helping other alcoholics. By serving others, he has strengthened his relationship with his Higher Power, developed strong character, and has become a source of encouragement to the men around him. Today, he's studying to become a drug and alcohol counselor so he can continue to help others find the same freedom he has found.

Some of our men recently attended the Harvest Crusade, an annual event that brings together thousands of people for an evening of worship music and a message of hope.

Recovery teaches that prayer is one way we can connect with som**hing greater than ourselves. On this night, our men volunteered to help others find that connection as well.

To see men who were once trapped in addiction now offering hope and prayer to others is a reminder of the kind of transformation that recovery makes possible.

Four years ago, Devin was homeless and living behind a 7-Eleven while struggling with a m**h addiction. When he finally reached his limit, he made the decision to call Beacon House, a choice that changed the trajectory of his life.

Once he arrived, Devin initially resisted the idea of relying on anyone other than himself. But in time, he learned a valuable lesson: by leaning on others, he actually gained greater independence. He began to realize that his past mistakes didn’t define him and that he had been shown a lot of grace.

Today, Devin’s life is full. He works, goes to school, is there for his family, and has an active spiritual life. Through hard work, he has found the peace and joy that come from living with purpose.

Despite the summer heat, a group of our men completed the Valley Crest Trails Half Marathon in Tarzana this past weekend.

For many of them, running has become an important part of recovery that encourages discipline, perseverance, and a healthier way of life.
