The mandate of Harbour Light is to increase client awareness and understanding of their problems, and the personality traits they have acquired from substance abuse. Harbour Light tries to teach clients to understand there's more to life than drugs or alcohol. Harbour Light has ten programs in its continuum of care.
The ministry focuses on the rehabilitation of individuals by assisting individuals in their pain, providing the basic necessities of life and offering detox and treatment to those in active addiction. This contributes to the building blocks that enable individuals to move from sickness, shelterlessness, unemployment and addictions to health, recovery, job training, literacy, affordable housing, job opportunities and re-integration to society.
