Review for Beacon House Association of San Pedro, San Pedro, CA, USA
I came to the Beacon House seven years ago a broken man. In the throngs of drug addiction I had lost my home, friends, family and everything I held dear to me due to a life a drugs. I was a product of prison, and many a so-called rehabs, and was on my last legs. When I had no where else to turn, the Beacon House took me into the life. More than just a Rehabilitation center, the treated me like family, and not only gave me the tools I needed to fight my addiction, they taught me what it was to a normal member of society, a freind, a parent, a family member. The encoureged me to help others and gave time to get my life togther, and seek and education.....something that I never had before. The encouraged me to live out my dreams in the second chance at life I had been given. By following the directions, ideals, and values the house gave me(directions I still follow to this day) I was able to beat my addiction, and live a life I've always wanted to live. Now close to getting my masters degree in English, work at a community college, I am engaged to be married, and have a full wonderful life....one that includes family friends both new and old, and am a model peer to those I teach and hang out with.....none of this would be possible without the help and guidance of the Beacon House.
