Dr. Lewis is the principle developer of the Justin's Lighthouse faith-based residential behavioral curriculum. He conducts and directs all Mentoring, Leadership, and Pastoral Counseling Programs. Father of 3, Dr. Lewis truly understands the difficulties that our young people are facing with our current Opioid Epidemic.

As a recovering addict and older brother of Justin, he knows first-hand, the pain and anguish that families experience when trying to save the life of loved one who is running out of time because of drugs and alcohol.

Personal experience of addiction
Dr. Lewis is also in recovery (Opioids), having overcome a multi-year addiction to pain pills following an accident. His currently has 19 years of sobriety and has said many times, "I've learned way more about addicts from being one than I ever learned in school!". He uses this intimate knowledge every day to teach, guide, and sometimes push newly sober addicts into a whole new way of living.

Most of our lectures, groups, and private counseling is conducted by Dr. Lewis. He has an open door policy for all past clients, as well, to encourage them on their spiritual journey.

A lifetime of preparation
He has created and operated many successful businesses, but none as rewarding as working with the clients of Justin's Lighthouse for the past 18 years. His believes that his own difficult experiences have been used by God to prepare him for work with families who struggle with similar afflictions. He uses every interaction with the residents as an opportunity to teach how to love, heal, forgive, change, and learn how to be accountable for your actions!

Tina makes everything work around here! She also is in recovery and has a vast knowledge of how to get this recovery process started. Families or Parents who call us are always grateful for how much time Tina is willing to spend with them on them phone.

Remembering her own early recovery experience, Tina knows very well how hard it was to search for rehabs and find a friendly voice. It was obvious that the people on the other end of the phone had no clue about addiction or the crisis the addict is experiencing at that moment.

Tina has vowed to treat all families with great respect and care, and, her attitude has become one of our best assets! Tina views her role as an ambassador for recovery and will do everything in her power to make sure those people who truly want recovery can find it!

Apart from all of our administrative duties, Tina maintains contact with the families of our residents, and oversees the general day-to-day operations. She is also credentialed in recovery support and counsels with the residents, plans field trips, and generally keeps us going!
