These are two words that people sometimes use to describe a dusty old building. It can also be the way that an aged space can make a person feel:
Tired. Low. Unworthy.
Building an Uplifting, Empowered and Valued Community
At SouthLight, we’ve begun a renovation effort that will transform SouthLight’s 19,000-square-foot outpatient treatment building in Raleigh into a fresh, new, and welcoming community hub.
This multi-million dollar campaign is well on its way to reflecting the good work SouthLight’s dedicated team of staff does every day to transform lives and build a community that is uplifting, empowered, and valued.
Double capacity to do individual counseling, and will offer more medical exam rooms.
Space for greater partnership and collaboration including a full pharmacy and lab.
A client drop-in center.
Dedicated spaces for partners to be on site with the hundreds of people who come through each day.
Designed to Meet the Needs of Those We Serve
Our updated community hub will have rooms for those who need a quiet moment, access to a computer for a virtual session, and space for families. It will be designed with people in mind—who have many needs and who deserve our respect. Yes, an eyesore in Southeast Raleigh is being replaced by a gem.
Perhaps more significantly, we are telling the people who enter SouthLight’s doors each day (some who are taking the first step towards healing) that their recovery journey and health are important. That they matter. We are making space for their recovery.
