I did get get some positives out of it. last but not least a shoutout to The alumni coordinator. he is an amazing human being and damn good at his job! Thanks Banyan!

If one is looking change their life for the better long term and if you're struggling on staying clean-do yourself the favor and get on medication assisted treatment. I've tried for over 17 years to stop using. Always refusing medication help, because of the ridiculous stigma surrounding it especially in the 12 step rooms. However, I'll never forget what the first counselor I met there told me at intake "do you know that statistically just doing the 12 step programs has a very low success rate for long term sobriety?" He then explained how my brain chemistry has changed due to prolonged use and that giving MAT a try my odds at long term success are higher. Well since the end of 2021, I can attest that it works-if you really want it. The staff in this clinic are professional, super smart, and always go above and beyond to help the patients. The MD is also very knowledgeable and easy to see whenever you need an appointment. This is a good place, not crowded, very discreet so I don't have to worry about running into someone from my job. Also, no long wait times. Thank you ATC!

Before I chose to spend my insurance money on this place, I probably read EVERY review ever written…read moreon OBR. I was under the impression from the website I was going to a "luxury-type" rehab. Even though that really didn't matter to me, I of course thought that was a plus, I also had read a lot of reviews saying the staff truly cares for it's clients and its not just about money; I bought into what I was reading and decided to go to Pompano Beach. First, I'll talk about the rooms and housing unit you stay in for 30 days. The room you see photos of on their website IS NOT what you will be in. That room is the penthouse suite, and it is where Phase Two clients stay. (Phase Two is the program you are able to go into if you get to 30 days and decide you'd like to stay long, that is, as long as your insurance will keep paying for it.) The room you stay in is basically two rooms with a connecting door-you have four room mates. One room has a television, a couch, bathroom, and balcony, the other has all of that and the kitchen which is a refrigerator, oven, stove, and microwave. The housing unit is a old motel that they turned into a housing unit for this rehab. You are NEVER allowed to be stand out on the front balcony because 'the neighbors don't like it) and have to sit on your back balcony alone whenever you want to smoke a cigarette, read, ect.The food situation is exactly as you're told on the phone, you get a $70 Publix card every Saturday. You're able to buy anything you want EXCEPT anything that says the word 'energy' on it. Obviously that means no energy drinks, but also no mio that has b12 in it. You can buy however many espresso shots, and coffee you'd like though! The only bad part about the Publix trips are there is a tech with you, you have to wait for everyone else to go down each isle with you, the tech is wearing a nametag and headset, that says Ocean Breeze staff (obvious violation of HIPAA rights) so it's very apparent to the store/customers you're in rehab. You can't wear a jacket, or bring a purse in as well.The staff:Almost all of the techs are very young recovering addicts, some have been through the ocean breeze program before, others have been to a different east coast rehab center. They are all in recovery though. You're supposed to have a year clean to work there but apparently 6 months is acceptable too. One of the techs was fired for dating a client while I was there. Some are super judgemental and play favorites (this happens A LOT). The only techs I found to be nice and helpful were Renee, Kelsey, Paris, and Josh. There is also a male tech (Mike) that is such a misogynist it is absolutely disgusting. He won't even say hi and ask how you're doing if you're a female. The therapist are all recovering addicts except for Paige. It helps to have a councillor who is in recovery as well (imo) because you can feel that they truly relate to you and aren't judging you outwardly. I was given Paige at first. I decided to try it out and see if it really mattered to me that she wasn't an addict or anything, and attended two 1o1 sessions with her. It was god awful. If OBR reads this ever, I really think they need to consider how many clients have asked to switch from Paige to a new therapist. She is an ex kindergarten teacher, and marriage counselor. Everything she says to you seems like she's reciting it from a text book, the DSM, or some worksheet she did in CAP school. I had to request a different therapist after that, and I was given Stu. Which if I was just reviewing this rehab on him alone, I'd give it five stars. (That's the main reason it has two instead of one). Stewart is AWESOME, I learned a lot from him in the short period he was my therapist, and I still use a lot of the things he told us today, months later. So, thank you to Stu for that. When I stayed a tech was fired for DATING a client. Suboxone taper is a joke, you're off everything in 4 days. This place is horrid and super judgmental and plays toward favoritism a lot. I wanted to believe the reviews that this rehab is different and they "truly" care. The director of operations Mike threatened to not return my ID, wallet, and cellphone once i decoded to leave. He said (verbatim) "If you're not going to talk to me you can come get your **** in three days." They do pretend to care, until your insurance is up then you learn real quick its like any other facility: A BUSINESS. Also you have to wait TWO weeks to use a phone even though admissions tells you 72 hours its TWO WEEKS STRAIGHT and it doesn't matter if you have a husband, kids, ect. Save yourself the failed experience! Florida has plenty of GREAT treatment options. Choose a different one.

I first want to say, the clinical staff at Evolutions are great, they are compassionate, empathetic…read moreand genuinely care about there clients. From the Therapists, to the Nurses and Pysch, they take a heartfelt interest in their clients wellbeing. As for the rest of the staff, there is a lot left to be desired. Aside from a few shining stars the majority of the administrative and tech staff behave as if they don't want to be there and its just a paycheck to them, to outright treating the Clients like inmates, cussing at them, threating them ("if you don't like it, pack your shit and get out") ignoring them by not following up on requests and grievances to total and utter disrespect. I've heard it said "you don't pay for this your insurance company does". I for one take great exception to that as I worked for over 45 years and paid into the system to be able to take advantage of programs I paid for (How dare they say that). Also, when asking a question I was often told "that's not my department or its above my pay grade)??? I would then asked to whom do I need to speak with to get my answer, their response was mostly "I don't know" How do you work somewhere that you don't know? The buck gets passed so much you can't recognize the bill any longer. Which brings me to ownership, The Husband and wife team of Mr. and Mrs. Gedale Fenster, a self proclaimed, "successful podcaster" and "motivational speaker" expounding his wisdom as if he were the next Ghandi, throwing out concepts that have been around for hundreds If not thousands of years. I for one found the man to be boastful, arrogant and disingenuous. They don't have any compassion or empathy for their clients, their entrepreneurial opportunity in this business is their primary reason for entering into this field. Complaints of living conditions go unaddressed, from inoperable washers and dryers to basic maintenance items. They hire drug addicts, exconvicts and alcoholics whom have little to no management experience, other than they were clients, in a field where that should be a priority. They allow clients to "Audition" for jobs instead of going to group to work on themselves or maybe its their way of getting cheap labor. They think by putting "Lipstick on a pig", by purchasing new furniture and putting a fresh coat of paint on it will solve a lot of the issues, think again. Just last weekend one of the units on the second floor of the IOP residence water lines broke and flooded that unit. When the client staying in that unit offered to go buy the necessary parts to fix it and have one of the clients whom are auditioning for a job, fix it the client was told no because the director of facilities said "I'm not going to allow a client to fix a repair, it will be taken care of Monday, and to have the Clients living in that unit put a bucket under it and dump the bucket when it was full, well you can imagine what happened, the downstairs unit got flooded and did a lot more damage than was necessary, if the director would have just let the Clients fix it. That's what you get when you hire incompetentence to run your facilities. Then there's the human care aspect of this, or the lack thereof. They treat clients as insurance payments. I was directly affected by this. I was told this past week that unbeknownst to me I was automatically enrolled in Medicare as I turn 65 on November 11th and Medicare trumps my current insurance "Florida Blue" and was unceremoniously discharged, with no resolution from Evolutions other than "No Dice" you have till Thursday latest Friday to pack up and get out. An unconscionable way to run a Mental Health and Substance Abuse Treatment center. Also, when I was leaving yesterday, I had to leave my bags there for a period until I got settled into a hotel, when I retrieved my bags one of the bags was missing that had all my toiletries and medication in it, after I informed a tech he went room to room looking for it, then my bag suddenly appeared, however, when I got to my destination and opened the bag one of my medications , and some of my toiletries were missing. After calling back to the IOP residence and informing them that some of my things were missing, they did nothing about it. They market themselves as "South Florida's Premier Treatment Center", it's nowhere near that, it's a run of the mill treatment center. I would like to caution anyone, if you are contemplating Mental Health or Substance Abuse Treatment, to do your due diligence and find a more suitable Treatment Center. I would not even rate this with a star, that would be saying they have a glimmer of hope. They also have a sober living facility in Fort Lauderdale where they let former male and female clients live together in the same apartment as couples all the while discouraging coupling, and whom also happen to work for Evolutions in supposedly high ranking decision making positions. Ownership holds no one accountable. What do you expect.
