Introducing Shaundrika Rutherford
Beacon of Light Sober Living is a men’s sober living facility in Gastonia, North Carolina, just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina. The Beacon of Light, the state’s first sober house, was established by Shaundrika Rutherford and her goal is to lead our community members from darkness to light. The NARR principles govern this organized NCARR pending-certified sober house for men, which is dedicated to the success of sober living inhabitants.
Shaun joins the Vanderburgh House family with significant experience in human services and strengthening communities. She worked in the Mental Service field for nearly ten years. “I have seen firsthand the impact that untreated addictions can have on the family and our community. My passion comes from having loved ones who battle addiction. My goal is to create homes that would be suitable for them. Each home is designed with my loved ones in mind, creating an environment that is conducive to long-term recovery. I believe the God I serve has called me to be a Beacon of light in our community.”
Residents of this sober living home in Greater Charlotte, North Carolina enjoy a peaceful and supportive environment in a beautifully renovated Victorian manor conveniently located in downtown Gastonia. This is a structured sober living home for men who are serious about their recovery and want to start a new life in a sober environment.
