Salvation Army Harbor Light System – Detroit

My man was there to get help for drinking ! Place a joke 😂 it was like bunch of homeless ppl interacting with females sneaking in each others room playing cards music very loud like party until 12 midnight horrible… place.. where everyone jus hang out women & men togather bunch of bs

I’m not a patient or anything but my husband is here & I’m wondering how anyone is supposed to FOCUS on their illness when they get 24 hour access to their own cell phones? He’s so worried about where I’m at and who I’m… with that he is literally doing nothing about his addiction lol I’ve never in my life seen a R E H A B allow constant personal phone use? You guys are making everyone’s mental health worse including the family on the outside. He can have his phone but he couldn’t have an electric fan? He can have his phone but he can’t have a vape? Like is this for real lol I don’t care how many amazing services that are offered. This man is going to come out equally as crazy and drunk as he was when he went in. Send your family elsewhere :-)

I absolutely love this place and now that I'm gone I even miss them. The majority of the employees there care about the residents. It's clean, they make sure your withdrawals are not too bad. When u 1st arrived you will… be in detox 3 days or so then go over to the residents side for 29 days. The rooms have 2 to 3 people in it with its own shower/bath. Breakfast is 7, lunch 11, dinner 4 and a snack at 8. If you're too sick to go to the dining area they will bring it to your room. Mondays and Tuesday are your long days you're in meetings from 9am to 10pm. Group meetings are mandatory every day 9-11. Church is on Sunday and Bible Study on Wednesday. They will help u get on your feet so u can survive when u get out. Oh and the men monitors are cute too, i know one resident who has started messing around with one recently. But the majority of them are not like that. It's a spiritually grounded place where God is first. Oh and you get to keep your phone and smoke whenever you want to. Let's see what else , Oh the food is good now it wasn't when I 1st got there but we complained about it at our weekly meeting and it has improved, a lot! As far as I'm concerned it's one of the best around, but I've only been to one other Christian guidance center, i caught COVID there. I was only there for 2 weeks but they never took my vitals when I was there. And Harbor Light checks them every 4 hours when you're in detox. And once you have completed everything you will get a certificate and a coin. Oh and u have to drop weekly, Oh and they also have a medical mobile unit that comes every Thursday iu need blood work or whatever done. Teally cool joint that I highly recommend

Back in 2011 this place changed my life. Actually learned a lot of important stuff. Detox and stayed there for 3 months. If I'm not mistaken it's a free program. If I'm wrong then it was definitely a low amount.… Especially when comparing other places.

Good

My bf broke up w/ me after bein here for 4 days.. they must be lettin the girls get bent over whenever they get a hooch in their get-a-long?! 🤷🏾‍♀️😔😩 That's my best, educated guess..

Detox is tough. They make u wait 3 to 4 days before they give you suboxone. You don't get much sleep on this side. 3 hots and a cot. Much better than some other places. They let you keep your phone here, other places… take them. Food is fair depends on who's cooking that day. It's nice people here and it's clean. You can go out and smoke whenever you want to.

Another worthless salvation army program

So rude you'd think people who are working at places that are meant to help people would actually want to help people but that is not the case.

Gave 4 stars not because I've been there but because I've contacted them for some questions and they were really helpful and they do great things for people with very little money. I would've gave 5 stars but it's so… far from my house that it's impossible for me to attend. The Salvation Army helped my family some years ago when they were in need and I'll always be greatful for that. I donate to the downriver store often.

Great program and great staff

We (including my10 yr old) slept on the floor for a few nights here back in January in the waiting area. We were able to eat three times a day but staff. No handicapped accommodations which made things more difficult… for some there and no medical staff available . Grateful for not freezing to death and they gave us blankets.

Good program as far as helping with addictions but the staff can definitely be rude and sometimes lazy not all staff but there is definitely a few and don't expect a nutritional meal the food is horrible so definitely… load up on snacks and non perishables

Beautiful staff who truly care. Thank you And GOD BLESS YOU

Wished they wouldn't let my addicted son leave

I absolutely believe that they do help some people, and they did great with my divorce but when I needed help with an emergency custody situation it was different. I would email with questions to get no reply, and then… my children got sick on Halloween (as stated this is a custody situation so dad wasn't in the picture and I have no daycare or sitter) the day of our case so I had to miss court and was met with being informed that they can no longer help me. It's a shame they want to help but draw the lines at missing court because your children can't go to school and you have no sitter.

I'm very understanding on the phone
