I was treated here in the last couple of months. I was there for 9 days. My private room was very…read morenice, with a comfortable bed and a nice flat screen tv. Most of the staff were very helpful and it was clear that they really cared for you and your well being. I have to give major kudos to the nursing staff in particular. All were very attentive to my needs and were very good at lifting my spirits during the difficult process of withdrawing from alcohol. I would encourage anyone who knows they need help to get help in a detox program. It's a scary prospect, but dont let that stop you from getting help. I've only had this one detox, so I have no way to compare Boca Detox to other facilities, but I felt I was treated very well and I was as comfortable as I could be under the circumstances.

Today I am 61 days sober, that may not seem like much but that number is only growing and I have to…read moregive Beachcombers a massive thank you. When I arrived (after detox) I was nervous and very guarded, my stomach was in knots. I was welcomed in with open arms and that feeling of unease ended extremely quickly, I almost immediately felt like I belong, like family...which is something I never really had. My stay at beachcomber had such a profound effect on me as a person, that my life right now at only 61 days...has already become a far better life than I had thought possible. When I initially began this process (and even halfway through lol) I was extremely bullheaded, skeptical and so untrusting that I doubted everything they said however, not one single time did I feel judged in any way! The therapist and staff were really patient with me and understanding, they gave me time to figure it out myself and I and so thankful they did. What I didn't realize was that I was fighting myself, not them lol It wasn't until I stopped fighting and convinced myself that maybe they are right, maybe I can't do this on my own, that my entire experience turned around. I will never forget my first experience with Saundra, I remember walking away upset lol! Saundra will establish dominance and so she should! Saundra became my therapist for a short time during Thanksgiving. I was nervous and didn't know what to expect with her but within moments, I felt better. My sessions with her were the most uplifting and empowering sessions I've ever had. She feels like a caring mom, she won't let you dwell and you can tell that she really does care. Saundra gave my the approval and motivation that I needed to come home and turn my life around. Most people who struggle with addiction need that level of humbling, structure, that mother-like love and discipline. I now understand why she is the way she is and I am so thankful! Most addicts like myself are used to people enabling us and getting mad when they don't. We tend to be prideful, as if we know it all lol they will bump heads with your pride...they need to do that. They're fighting the thing that is trying to kill you so needless to say you will not find an enabler at this place!!! What you'll find is the care of a former addict, the therapist here have all been in recovery for a long time. This gives them the ability to actually understand and know what it's like from experience not textbook. Personally, I say...you can't help anyone through something unless you've walked in your shoes and they have all been there and done that!! Rapid trama therapy with Val was life changing, she makes you feel completely at ease and by the time the season was complete, I felt a new type of energy a "can do" energy. This place is run just like a big loving happy family, everyone contributes and works together, it was a wonderful experience. I would highly suggest them to anyone who had enough and wants to live a better life all you need is an open mind and desire for change. They'll walk you through the rest! Good luck

Once a place considered the best in South Florida, my experience was nothing but terrible. The…read morestaff is mismanaged as it always took two or three tries to get anything done.. the owners also do not keep their word and bait and switch you! Worst of all I I was subject to a hate crime And was totally brushed off. No video watched... No witnesses interviewed. I had to check out and deal with law-enforcement on my own.! I was even told I was not allowed to call the police! Additionally, I believe they committed a HIPAA violation by giving out information to someone that was not authorized. I am investigating that now. Caused me lots of issues when I got home.. Not saying this is the worst place for everybody... But it was for me!! Just sayin!

I recently had a terrible experience with this company. I scheduled my first appointment with the…read moreoffice on a Friday for a 3pm Monday appointment with one of their therapists. On Monday at 2:15pm I asked if I was going to receive a virtual link for my appointment at 3. They said that the therapist would email me the link 30 minutes prior to the meeting. So I waited... and waited... and waited. At 3:22 the therapist finally messaged me telling me that the company never informed them of our appointment and we'd have to reschedule. I was confused and told the therapist that the company told me that she as the therapist was supposed to contact me before the meeting. Then I get a call from the company. A woman informed me that my therapist had a medical emergency and was unable to attend my appointment. To which I said, that doesn't make any sense, the therapist just told me that you as the company never looped her in that she had an appointment with me. The woman on the phone said nooo that's not correct, let's just make a new appointment, what day are you available. Immediately, I did not feel respected and this back and fourth was extremely unprofessional. I informed the woman that this experience has left a bad taste in my mouth and I will be looking for services elsewhere. Then the woman said okay and hung up. The therapist then texted me that the company didn't put my appointment on the correct date on her schedule. Which makes no sense to me. Why contact me about our appointment on a day that my appointment isn't apparently scheduled for??? Someone or multiple people were lying, I'm unsure. Please save your time and do not go here. They need to improve their custom service greatly.

I paid my rent on time, attended groups, was compliant with my medication, as well as sponsored others in their program after I completed my steps. They chose to discharge me after one "bad attitude" incident that occurred while asleep on my sleeping medication after accepting other clients back after multiple relapses, drug and alcohol use on property, relationships with the female clients, etc. Instead of allowing me to successfully complete the program, they labeled it as incomplete after a year of work. They are changing their entire clinical team. I do not suggest going. They will close soon.

First visit was fine. Getting all my info etc. Which lead to testing. I had to reach out to Dr…read more Weiss to review the results which could easily have been a phone call. I was told it was an in person appt. She ran very late for my appt without anyone telling me how much longer I should expect to wait. I think she was nearly an hour past my appt before I saw her. Went over results. Came up with a plan. She disappeared in her office for long stretches of time while you're in the exam room. I did everything we talked about and got another round of tests a 2 months later. I've now learner nothing much changes in 2 months and the second round of blood tests should have been a few more months later. Had the second round of test. I got all my results from Quest Diagonsits and needed things explained to me. I called and texted with the office multiple times to have a follow up appt. At first who ever was on the texts was quick to reply. They then disappeared and I never got a call back from my multiple messages left on the office line. I will not be going back. I shouldn't have to work so hard to have my primary doctor review tests results with me. Can not recommend Dr. Weiss.

Loved her after my first visit. 3-4 days later, she calls my Psychiatrist and my mother (no…read morerelease, just listed as emergency contact- I am an adult in my mid-20's) telling them I need to be admitted into hospital immediately, without seeing me, speaking to me, or examining me. The last person to receive a phone call was myself personally where she reiterates that I need to be admitted to the hospital immediately and that I need to be taken off of all my psychiatric medication immediately- for which she is not the prescribing doctor. After being hurried off the phone, I contact my mother and psychiatrist to try to figure out what on earth is going on. I speak to both of them, call her back, speak to her office staff and am assured she will return my call when done with her patient. She does not return my call. I go to my follow up today looking for an explanation for her actions- which she cannot provide. She offers a contradictory timeline of events and actions and says, "I deal with so many emergencies, it's hard to keep them straight." Her office staff rolled her eyes when my mother asked what the *** happened and gave the implication that this is a regular occurrence. She accused me of being an addict, having no judgment, and not knowing what I was talking about. Personally, I found her demeanor erratic, spacey, uninformed, and generally confused- perhaps like she was the one on too many drugs rather than me. Her actions led me to call into question not only her personal judgment but mostly her medical judgment. She promotes homeopathic remedies for psychiatric disorders which can only be managed by medication and offers medical advise outside her field of expertise. Additionally, as icing atop the cake, she was 45 mins late seeing me for my 1st appt and 25 for the second. Apparently this is her norm. For homeopathy, go see her. For real medicine, look elsewhere. I am seriously contemplating reporting her to the board.

The doctors here are nothing short of amazing! My husband went to Hollywood to get MRI'S on his…read moreknee and back, as he could barely walk and was numb and not sure what area was causing the problem. They told him his back was fine, but needed knee surgery. They gave him a pain shot and that night he woke up screaming and basically couldn't get off the floor after. We couldn't get him back to Hollywood as it is now too far. We rescheduled a follow up at Atlantis Orthopedics. He first met with Brian Reiter, the knee surgeon. He identified all his issues in moments with his knees and immediately referred him to Dr. Edward Chung the back surgeon, due to the numbness. Within a few short minutes of meeting Dr. Chung, he immediately ordered us to the emergency room for back surgery. My husband had Cauda Equine Syndrome and was moments away from being paralyzed for life. One week out of surgery and he is regaining feeling, walking, and sitting up. It is a miracle. If not for them, he would be paralyzed right now. I could never thank them for what they did!!!! Honestly, we owe them everything!

I also shared a review that was deleted and I won't be silent about it. Many reviews I saw a year…read moreago were also deleted so don't let it fool you Went here when I was 13 years old and they took our clothes and made us wear pink scrubs and earn our clothes. Facility was left unlocked to test patients and see if they'd escape, but some did and got into some situations on the streets because it's a bunch of fast food places and stuff. They'd still get into trouble for trying to escape even if they went batshit crazy We got in trouble for things simple as not eating just because we were upset and had to write real long essays. Staff were alright, some were kind of assholes though and one of the therapists had a DUI charge if you look at the Reddit post someone made about this place. HIPPA laws were violated not gonna lie, for some reason whenever someone went a level down in residential they had other kids vote. Why's this an issue? Because I knew my shit five days in and they were jealous because they don't handle their problems on their own. One of my friends was forced to share their r*pe story to I don't know, maybe around 40 kids in the room?? They didn't want to which their privacy shouldn't be violated like that in the first place and they broke down crying. The computer lab smelled like cigarettes and we weren't allowed to contact our parents if we got in trouble. Apparently it was only once a week under supervision so my dad even made a code sentence to say if I needed help because we had a bad feeling about this place. Now, I only stayed for six days because I emailed my teacher through the school site to contact my mom and tell her I needed help. Got banned from the computers that day but I have no regrets because if I hadn't done that I don't know the shit I could've endured. I had six bakeracts before that and witnessed some pretty wild situations at a young age because I was under a prescription cascade by my old doctor and had side effects so I'd hurt myself. Never had ill intentions towards anyone and hated altercations especially because I'm bad at social interaction. But this place? There were fights often, kids kissing each other and talking about how many people they've fucked, if your roommate was pissed at you you weren't allowed to sleep on the floor outside your room but if you cut yourself then you had to so I kinda did that- Not a proud moment but I didn't wanna piss him off more because I felt bad for calling his music taste ass Anyways, you were also cooked if you didn't have friends because of the weird voting system Dr. Moron GolfBallHeadWithGlasses made up. Mornings were weird af, the guy went "Good morning everyone " and we had to say in unison "Good morning Doctor Moran!" Like it was some sorta kids show and then the next minute it's forcing people to share their deepest traumas even if they don't wanna Outside time sucked, they made us give them our shoes which by the way I never got my shoes back from that place, those were some pretty good Nikes Dosages were tampered with though and parents weren't told. Also a lot of the reviews I saw on here about a year ago were deleted so I know they're trying to silence us. Well guess what? Not gonna let that happen! Water tasted like metal, fridge was broken and the milk had ice chunks in it, food tasted nasty, and they didn't really care for people's needs. And the strip searches are weird but I don't really blame them for that, staff probably didn't want to do that either Also even if you're not a drug addict, if you don't attend an AA meeting you'll get in trouble for not listening about the dangers of doing drugs even if you know not to anyways Also for the past year or so the location keeps saying "closed", "permanently closed", "open", "temporarily closed" ??????? Pick a side!‍ Might be good for kids who are recovering from addictions but even then it's just a really bizarre place, wouldn't recommend it but you do you if you want.
