Treatment:
Potential treatment clients can initiate their own application. Individuals can include loved ones in their referral / intake process as long as the potential client is an active participant in the process.
Community agencies, court workers, correctional staff, and other service providers, please contact our Intake Counsellor to arrange a release of information if you would like to participate in the referral / intake process.
Please see our Treatment Intake page for detailed information about our intake and referral process. You can also download the intake referral form.
Community Residential Facility (halfway house):
Individuals currently incarcerated should speak with their IPO for more information about their specific parole needs and Harbour Light’s requirements.
Potential candidates for acceptance are encouraged to take the initiative to contact Harbour Light, by mail. This allows you an opportunity to provide additional information to be considered during the screening process, or ask questions about our facility and programs. Please, no phone calls.
