Salvation Army Harbor Light System is a nonprofit addiction treatment program operated by The Salvation Army that provides substance use services for adults in southeastern Michigan. The program serves individuals seeking structured support for alcohol and drug use disorders through multiple levels of care. Services include detoxification, residential treatment, outpatient programs, case management, counseling, and medication-assisted treatment. Mental health services, peer support, family counseling, and legal or social service coordination are also part of the program structure when listed within care plans.
The organization operates in Detroit with additional service locations in Clinton Township and Monroe, supporting residents across the surrounding region. Detroit is a large Midwestern city known for its industrial history, diverse neighborhoods, and access to community resources, which allows programs to connect participants with housing, employment, and local support systems during recovery. Seasonal weather ranges from warm summers to cold winters, creating a structured indoor treatment environment throughout the year.
Programs are designed for adult men and women who are medically and mentally able to participate in treatment. Services follow a continuum of care model, beginning with assessment and withdrawal management and extending into residential and outpatient support focused on stabilization and reintegration into daily life.
