Addiction Resource Score
Scoring is assigned by a proprietary system which helps surface key metrics that determine quality. The 10-point scale factors in categories such as operations, customer satisfaction, and trust metrics.
We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. That's why we've developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centers—from accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. You'll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.

As a member of the Great Lakes Division, The Salvation Army Harbor Light – Lawton Street in Detroit, Michigan has been offering drug misuse and addiction treatment for more than 75 years. This drug rehab facility increases the likelihood of recovery for patients by offering a wide range of round-the-clock treatments, such as medical detox, inpatient programs, intense outpatient care, and aftercare for adults and young people.
Patients in The Salvation Army Harbor Light’s medically assisted treatment (MAT) program are admitted for three to five days, during which time they receive individualized, all-encompassing care. By using FDA-approved drugs like Suboxone or Vivitrol, the program attempts to lessen withdrawal symptoms and cravings, which lowers the likelihood of relapsing. The MAT program is designed to cater to the individual demands of every patient, increasing the chances of a full and speedy recovery.
Following detox, patients go onto a 30-day or 90-day treatment program, depending on their needs. In a friendly and supportive setting, this program provides a wide variety of services, such as case management, individual and group therapy, family counseling, peer support, and spiritual counseling.
For those with flexible schedules, The Salvation Army Harbor Light offers an intense outpatient program that is specially suited to their needs. To accommodate the various requirements of participants, this program provides sessions on weekdays and weekends, day or night. Clients are usually far enough in their rehabilitation at this point to take advantage of longer sessions and more frequent sessions. Pregnant and childbearing women may also get specialist care via the intensive outpatient program.
The Salvation Army provides free services and a range of payment options. For information on out-of-network benefits and coverage, it is advised to verify your insurance in order to comprehend the financial elements of the therapy.
