    I'm updating my former review and turning Traditions House, I really don't have any thing to say it…read morejust wasn't my cup of tea, I just didn't care for the way the program was ran or some of the guys living in the same apartments that I was living in they acted like they weren't really that much into recovery, Some had drinking problems , some had gambling problems, some had some other problems that I really don't want to mention. I'm retracting my original review this time there's no five stars no thumbs up. I wish the owners the best of luck and their program and some of the guys that actually care about recovery and sober living. If you read this review leave a comment or don't me personally I don't recommend this program.

    I don't like to write negative reviews especially if it has been a long time however I want my…read morevoice to be heard. I moved into this sober house about 2 years ago. I was kicked out because they found a needle in my drawer. I received a call from the manager saying if I am doing anything that I shouldn't be doing. My conscience was clean since I was only taking my medication prescribed by my doctor. I was taking my monthly dose of Testosterone. Well I was kicked out on the day that a hurricane was approaching south Florida. They didn't care if I was homeless. Besides the condition of the house is horrible as well. Why don't they stop all of the cigarettes smoking from the other customers. I called them customers cause that's how they see all of us addicts. It's important to respect the medication that each individual is taking. Knowledge is power!! Therefore here is the definition of what is testosterone : Testosterone is the primary sex hormone and anabolic steroid in males. In male humans, testosterone plays a key role in the development of male reproductive tissues such as testes and prostate, as well as promoting secondary sexual characteristics such as increased muscle and bone mass, and the growth of body hair. Wikipedia As a gay man this medication is very important for us but they don't understand our health needs Glad people will hear my voice about this place.

    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.

    The place is full of bedbugs. I spent 24 hours there and left once I woke up to being eaten alive,…read moremind you I wasn't medicated at all either and the food is below the level of jail food. These are the facts, I wouldn't send my worst enemy here.. oh and if you ask to be removed from their follow up/alimni list they'll tell you "we can't do that".. the audacity of these people it's just a people farm and all they care about is getting your insurance $$$. Lastly when I left after 24 hours they held my valuables hostage, phone, wallet, electronics etc. I had to come back a few days later to retrieve it. Mind you if I was a young girl in Miami Gardens walking around with no way to call for help what an awful situation to put someone in, and don't forget about the rash and bed bug bites all over my body. 0/5 wouldn't Recomended if it was the last rehab on earth.

    Dear Ray, Thank you…read moreso much for all that you have done and continue to do for my son and all others. My son Alex graduated yesterday after 12 months and a couple of weeks just yesterday. He now has goals, a steady job and hope. Thank you and your wife for taking him to mass along with a few others that wanted to attend more than once. Thank you Michael for always being courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. You are an excellent trusted General Manage. May God's blessings and protection continue to shine on you and your loved ones. You have the passion and determination to help humanity, Ray. I'm eternally grateful! You have a 5+ star program! Best regards, Ana M From Day 1 you reminded me of the poem titled, "It Matters to this One" by Author Unknown As I walked along the seashore, this young boy greeted me. He was tossing stranded starfish back to the deep blue sea. I said, "Tell me why you bother, why you waste your time this way. There's a million stranded starfish, does it matter anyway?" And he said, "It matters to this one. It deserves a chance to grow. It matters to this one, I can't save them all I know. But it matters to this one, I'll return it to the sea. It matters to this one, and it matters to me." I walked into the classroom, The teacher greeted me. She was helping Johnny study, he was struggling I could see. I said, "Tell me why you bother, why waste your time this way. Johnny's only one of millions, does it matter anyway?" And she said, "It matters to this one, he deserves a chance to grow. It matters to this one, I can't save them all I know. But it matters to this one, I'll help him be what he can be. It matters to this one, and it matters to me. You can't save them all, but it matters to each one person who you save.

    The James Club has changed my life by bringing me back to life. My life has been completely turned…read morearound and healed in so many ways. The way that the program is run by Ray and Tracy is phenomenal. The staff is genuine and there to help you with literally everything. The house managers are extremely dedicated too. I can't say enough good things about the James club. This is the best sober-living, halfway house, and mentoring program in Florida. Thanks guys!
