Anaheim, California - The Lighthouse Treatment Center, a drug and alcohol recovery facility in Anaheim, California, hosted its alumni members at the Newport Beach Christmas Boat Parade.

"Our alumni are an important part of our Lighthouse family. We are grateful for their commitment to their recovery and it brings us immense joy to see them thriving in their lives after treatment. Hosting this annual holiday cruise is our way of showing our support and celebrating their successes," said Davidson.

The Lighthouse alumni community has been a source of inspiration and motivation for both clients and staff members. By staying connected with fellow alumni, individuals are able to continue strengthening their recovery skills and maintain a sense of accountability within the supportive community.
