I am writing to show my gratitude to each and every one of you for the help you have given me over the last nine weeks. I will never forget this experience. Each of you in a different way has made an impact on my recovery and your efforts will be etched upon my mind for eternity. My addiction has affected myself and my family on multiple levels; one of the most obviously devastating effects has been the toll on our finances.There were many occasions when I could have turned my back on the program, rolling the dice on my sobriety. Maybe I would have stayed clean, maybe I wouldn't. Conversely, Sarah could have turned her back on me and simply have written me off as another statistic, or an unwilling client. But for whatever reason, I stuck with the program, and she stuck with me. I wanted to be here. I wanted "the gift" that the program offered me. I believe that "gift" has been granted tenfold. I don't know if it was the universe, God, or having someone who cares about me and understands exactly what I'm going through at this time in my life. Again, it doesn't matter to me. The truth be told, this was the opportunity not of a lifetime, but of life. I am eternally indebted to this program - not necessarily on a financial basis, but a spiritual one. A foundation for my sobriety and a new way of life has been laid out for me and now it's my responsibility to maintain it. During my time at this facility, I have also witnessed Sarah guide and assist other men and women through this process. Sometimes it was with tough love or a firm hand, but it was always from her heart. This has been a tough and beautiful process and has made a deep impact on my life. I encourage anyone who was at the point in life that I was in nine weeks ago to make the leap. Give up, surrender to the process, and you too can be free from the hell that we know as addiction. As coach Steve puts it, "This is a hero's journey". It is mine to unfold as I see fit. Though the Journey starts with loss, pain, and anguish,I now have the power and strength to continue the journey with faith, redemption, and victory. read more

I've really never written a review before so here goes nothing. I have a very demanding career and am pretty much married to it, I am also an addict and not too long ago was utterly out of control and at rock bottom. Somehow I was functional, working, and able to hide my addiction from everyone, so going to rehab was not top on my list, and wasn't even an option. There was no no way I could afford to take 30 days off of work, and, plus, I just couldn't get it out of my head that "EVERYONE AT THE OFFICE WOULD KNOW..." Why else does someone take 30 days off of work, especially in South FL. So I continued on my downward spiral. One night I was searching online for options I stumbled across Transformations Recovery. I had never heard of IOP, but at that point I was willing to try anything. The next day I met with Sarah Sacks, who explained the program to me. I could go too treatment, while working, and even sleep in my own bed! For the first time in years, I was hopeful. The IOP Program at Transformations consisted of 3 nightly group meetings a week, one weekly Individual meeting with a addiction and mental health counselor, and bi-mothly meetings with a psychiatrist who could also prescribe any medications that I might need.I began the program the following week, and never looked back. Fast forward 3 months and here I am. I just picked up my 90 days chip and boy does time fly. I am so thankful for Ms. Sarah and everyone on the team at Transformations. I have learned so much and was challenged by everyone there to dig deep inside myself and get honest about my addiction and other issues/under-lying factors that led me to use drugs in the first place. To top it all off I ran into a small group of people from my office at an NA meeting a few weeks ago and welcomed me and keep me accountable. I hope this review was helpful, and if you're reading this and need help, just make the call, today can easily be the first day of the rest of your life. read more

This is the BEST treatment program in Palm Beach County, for sure! I came here at my lowest rock bottom, and the incredible clinical team and staff worked closely with me, giving me a ton of individualized support, to help me find out what the real reasons were for my drug use. After all the treatment centers I've been to, I can guarantee this is the best one because they see their clients as people, rather than numbers. Their mental health services helped me a lot too. I finally have a relationship with my daughter and my parents again. I can finally hold a job and manage my budget! They do so much life skills support, it really helped me. And their family program brought me and my family closer then ever. Sarah is the kindest woman I have ever met and she truly cares about her clients and her staff. You can feel the warmth, safe comfort of this treatment center every time you enter the building. I have never felt so safe and truly heard and understood by anyone before. I am proudly an Alumni member and I can't wait to reach my one year! I know I can do it with the help and guidance I've received from Transformations Recovery. Thank you so very much. If anyone needs help with addiction or mental health issues, please call Sarah at Transformations Recovery. I promise, she will understand you and she will help you. The same goes for the rest of her team. Thank you so much!!! read more

My older sister started the IOP Program at Transformations Recovery in March 2017, since then her whole life has changed for the better. After numerous failed attempts at various Out-Patient and In-Patient Treatment Centers, we found the right one at Transformations Recovery. The Staff, Counselors, and Doctors were so welcoming and kind. My sister loved the group and individual sessions. Transformations even offers FREE, weekly Family Group Therapy, which I myself and my our mother loved, learned, and gained so much insight by attending. When one family member suffers from substance abuse, in most cases or at least ours, the entire family was affected. I've learned so much about my sister's disease of addiction and was so grateful that Transformations Recovery provides that resources for the families of their clients. I highly recommend Transformations Recovery to all who are battling the disease of addiction, alcoholism, mental health disorders, ect. There are so many treatment centers and "rehabs" in South Florida, but Transformations Recovery is one of the few that are actually striving to help as many people as possible, and assist them in going forward to lead a meaningful, healthy life. read more

There are no words to describe the gratitude I feel toward the healing staff at Transformations Recovery. Their IOP program was exactly what i needed to get back on track in recovery. I have a long history of relapse, so when I came to Transformations I felt defeated and hopeless. Slowly, through time, the caring staff and my peers helped me gain self-esteem, hope and courage/strength. They have a flexible schedule, they are understanding and caring, and most importantly, they are filled with knowledge and coping skills to prevent relapse! No other treatment center has offered the individualized treatment that Transformations Recovery has. My mom was right by making me go here!!! This is the best place for recovery ever. I also love the small (no huge) size of the facility, so everyone knows my name and genuinely asks how I am doing. The group therapy is something I actually enjoy now too! Recovery really is amazing and the promises are coming true in my life today, all because I followed the suggestions of my sponsor and Transformations Recovery. Thank you so much for everything you do!!!! Love you!! read more

When I first entered the IOP Program it not at all on my own accord/behalf, and I had every intention of continuing drinking alcohol immediately following my graduation and satisfying my legal obligations to avoid jail time. I didn't want to be there and boy did it show. I had the most negative attitude, I was rude to the staff and other group members, and not to mention, and I spoke and acted as if i was better than every one there. I was the the mirror image of an addict in total and utter denial. Not only did everyone welcome me and encourage me, day after day, but they included m as a part of the group and helped me feel accepted, which was completely foreign to me. After a few weeks I realized I was changing, I began participating, encouraging others, and listening to the counselors. Transformations Recovery did for me what I couldn't didn't wish to, and had absolutely had no intention of doing for myself. I continue to go to AA Meetings, work with my sponsor, and attend the weekly alumni groups. I am so thankful for the program that Transformations Recovery offers and the people who work there. read more

So I just completed the IOP Program at Transformations Recovery.... for the 2nd time. Words could never do justice to how grateful I am and how great I feel!! I remained sober for a little over a year after the first time I completed the IOP Program, but after a death in the family an failure on my part to continue to go to meetings and attend the Alumni Group at Transformations Recovery, I spent the 2 years on a downward spiral. Then one day about 4 months ago I received a phone call from a counselor at Transformations Recovery, just to check in with me, I immediately started sobbing and it was at that very moment that I knew I needed to make a change. Everyone opened me back with open arms, and although I was flooded with guilt I immediately felt right at home and knew that I made the right decision. I was able to keep the same primary counselor I had several years ago. Long story short, Transformations Recovery saved my life, again and I am forever grateful. If you or someone you know needs help, this is the right place! read more

I have never in my life been so moved to write a yelp review as I have after the horrific experience with Sarah Sachs at Transformations/Jupiter counseling. Sarah is in the wrong field. She does not care about the well being of the patients- she only cares about making money off of you. She is rude, abrasive, condescending, and unethical in every way possible. She is a crook and a sham. She has another addict with less than 6 months of clean time run the Halfway and puts this poor person's recovery on the back burner. She doesn't pay her and she makes her run errands and so she never gets to go to meetings or IOP. She has her pass out narcotic meds to others in the Halfway without a trained nurse or even a tech and ppl would even steal the meds out of her purse!! It's the most illegitimate and toxic place. Even the therapist Anthony makes comments like "we aren't even going to try to analyze sara" bc he knows what a psycho bitch she is. PLEASE TAKE MY WORD AND THE OTHER REVIEWS AND RUN FAR AWAY!! read more

My experience at La Via was transcending, it brought me from what I can only express as my lowest imaginable point to heights that I never dreamed I could once again attain. I was hopeless, utterly broken, and lost. From the day of my arrival through to my last day, I was treated like person; not an addict, but as an equal. Within my first few days of admission, the team at La Via got to know me, and collectively evaluated me. They then constructed and provided for me a personal recovery plan to allow me the best possible chance of successfully transitioning my life back to becoming a proud, sober, member of society. Believe it or not, it worked, and I am living breathing proof that there is hope for all of us. La Via was not by any means my first In-patient Treatment attempt, but I can assure I'm proud to write that it's my last. read more

This was the best, most helpful treatment center I have ever been to...and I've been to a lot. I was desperate when I came to Transformations Recovery, and they gave me hope and courage. They helped me find myself and realize all the pain I was causing myself. Today, I am proudly close to graduating and I can't wait to join the Alumni program! The fellowship at Transformations is unbelievable. The staff go above and beyond anyone in my life ever has. They even wrote updates weekly to my probation officer! I can't begin to express my gratitude for the services I've received at Transformations! You guys are truly the BEST!!!! I highly recommend Transformations Recovery to anyone who is serious about getting clean and sober. They also help with mental health, which was huge for me. From the bottom of my heart...thank you. :) read more

My experience at Transformations Recovery has been absolutely life-changing! I struggled with addiction for many years, and went to many treatment centers, but once I found Transformations Recovery, I was finally able to receive the help I truly needed. The staff were compassionate, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to help address all of my needs. I love that they helped me with not only addiction but also mental health, as I struggle with trauma and bipolar disorder. I am now stable with my medications and have over six months clean and sober--I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend Transformations Recovery to anyone who is seeking help with addiction or mental health issues. 10+ Stars!!! Thank you!!! read more

Transformations Recovery was that one thing I needed to help me turn my life around. I had been to other Treatment Centers in the past but they were just businesses. It's hard to find a place where the staff truly cares, and they love what they do. They were with me every step of the way and I was able to get my life back.The other people in the IOP Program are serious about their recovery and I made great friendships. They even have a free alumni group that meets once a week after you finish the program, which has been a blessing and helps me stay on track. If you're really looking to get sober and stay sober this is the place to go. read more

The staff is fantastic and they really know what they're talking about. So many people claim they know about addiction. These folks know about addiction and recovery. Transformations has increased my education and knowledge about addiction. They are knowledgeable supportive and caring I can't say enough about them. I felt hopeless and now I felt understood and showed me a better way of life and my family. We have created a new foundation for our relationships. You save my life thank you. I wish there were more places like this to help more of us who suffer. Lucy s. read more

I have thought deeply about this review before I posted it, as this is something I normally never do. However, I felt compelled to write this as I concluded that I owe it to my fellow recovering addicts to inform them of my experience at this so called recovery center. This is the worst recovery center I have ever encountered and if I were you I would avoid it like the plague. Sarah Sacks is only concerned about the money, is rude, condescending and totally lacking in empathy. The website is fiction so do not get taken in by it. read more

My time at Transformations Recovery was time well spent. They have a wonderful facility and the staff is always willing to go above and beyond to provide the best care possible for all the clients. I was given the tools to completely change my life. And I can't thank them enough. My wife and father really enjoyed the family therapy groups, I they've become a big, and now helpful part of my recovery. If you're looking for help and ready to fight your addiction, Transformations Recovery is the place to be! read more

The clinical staff seemed adequiate. Sara and Amanda are devious and misleading. It is all about the money to them. I should have listened to the other reviews and stayed away. Please be ware or it could cost you thousands of dollars you were not expecting to have to pay. read more
