Lantern Residences- Transitional Living

At Lantern Residences, we believe recovery is not one-size-fits-all.

We are a MAT-friendly and medication-friendly transitional living program that respects every pathway of recovery. Whether someone is rebuilding through medication-assisted treatment, peer support, meetings, faith, counseling, structure, or a combination of supports — we believe progress is progress.

For referral partners, families, and community providers, our goal is to create a safe, structured, and open-minded environment where residents can stabilize, stay accountable, and keep moving forward with dignity.

Recovery looks different for everyone. At Lantern, we meet people where they are and help them build toward where they are going.

Recovery. Structure. Community. You belong here.

🌟 Client Win of the Day 🌟

Today we want to celebrate the incredible progress of one of our Lantern residents.

After serving a 13-year prison sentence, he came into Lantern ready to rebuild his life — and he has been doing exactly that, one day at a time.

Since entering the program, he has reached **four months of sobriety**, secured reliable transportation by getting a **moped and moped license**, and was recently released from community supervision. These are major milestones that show his commitment to independence, responsibility, and long-term recovery.

He is also preparing to start the Goodwill ICANN program on the 16th for job training, with his focus set on building a future where he can work, serve, and give back. His long-term goal is to earn his peer support certification and spend the rest of his life helping others in the recovery community.

He also shared how grateful he is for the DOADAS grant support that helped give him the time and stability needed for job placement, medical care, transportation to important appointments, and the structure needed to keep moving forward.

This is what recovery can look like when housing, accountability, transportation, medical access, and community support come together.

We are proud of his hard work, his humility, and the future he is building.

One day at a time. One step at a time. A stronger tomorrow.

🌟 Client Shoutout: Trevor 🌟

This week, we want to recognize Trevor for the incredible progress he continues to make at Lantern Residences.

Trevor came into the program and hit the ground running. He has stepped into a leadership role as a House Leader, continues to be a positive role model for others, and has remained committed to maintaining his sobriety while working toward his goals.

Since joining Lantern, Trevor has been able to get back to work, rebuild stability, and take major steps toward his future. Some of his newest accomplishments include opening a new account with a credit union, beginning the process of rebuilding his credit, and preparing to start at Strayer University in August, where he will be studying Healthcare Management.

Trevor’s dedication, consistency, and willingness to keep moving forward are exactly what recovery is all about. We are proud of the example he is setting and excited to see what he continues to accomplish.

Keep going, Trevor. Your hard work is showing.

Client Shoutout: Dustin

Today we want to recognize Dustin on his successful discharge from Lantern Residences.

Dustin came to Lantern early in his recovery journey. Like anyone working to rebuild their life, he had challenges along the way. But what stood out most was his willingness to keep showing up, keep growing, and keep putting in the work.

Over time, Dustin made huge improvements in his attitude, accountability, and leadership. He became a positive influence within the program and a role model for others around him. He eventually stepped into the role of House Lead, helping keep the house in compliance with program expectations and showing what it looks like to take recovery seriously.

During his time at Lantern, Dustin also made major personal progress. He earned his CDL license, got a new car, and continued building a strong foundation for a sober and successful life.

Dustin is a direct example of what we hope to see in this program: growth, responsibility, leadership, and commitment to change.

Great work, Dustin. We are proud of you and excited to see what comes next.

Recovery is possible — one day at a time.

At Lantern Residences, we believe men in recovery deserve more than just a place to stay. They deserve structure, support, accountability, and a community that walks with them as they rebuild their lives.

Every step forward matters. Every day sober matters. Every man deserves the chance to heal, grow, and start again.

Stability first. Structure always. Progress over perfection.
