Landmark Recovery exists to assist each patient in the development of a lifestyle that is permanently free from all mind and mood altering substances and that promotes the patient’s well-being across mind, body, and spirit. We strive to achieve this vision by building strong, ethically-grounded relationships between each employee and each patient. These relationships outlast the treatment program and continue to serve the patient as long as necessary post-discharge.
Our corporate values are:
PEOPLE: While recognizing the importance of delivering a return on investment to shareholders, Landmark holds that it is never acceptable to compromise its moral and/or ethical responsibility to meet the needs of its patients, employees, or communities in the name of increasing profits. As such, the legitimate needs of the PEOPLE involved in the Landmark community must always come first when making business decisions.
PASSION: Landmark holds that, in order to deliver the highest quality treatment, all stakeholders must exhibit a continuous internal desire to see each and every Landmark patient achieve his or her goal of a substance-free lifestyle. This PASSION must drive each action that our employees and contractors complete the job, and should be externally obvious to all patients, stakeholders, and community members.
PURPOSE: Landmark holds that employees must be cognizant at all times of the company’s mission, and must be driven in their work by that mission continuously. The PURPOSE behind the work is at least as important as the work itself.
LANDMARK LIFE: All employees and stakeholders must strive to assist patients in achieving a life that is substance-free and completely fulfilled in mind, body, and spirit.
","ABOUT LANDMARK RECOVERY OF LOUISVILLE
Located in Louisville, Ky., not far from Interstate 264 and Louisville International Airport, Landmark Recovery of Louisville is a newly built residential substance abuse treatment facility for adults. The program typically lasts 30 days, offering medically monitored detox services on-site.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
To determine whether there is a diagnosis of chemical dependency and that Landmark is the right, clients receives a comprehensive medical and psycho-social assessment lasting three to five days.

Residents enrolled in the 30-day program receive one-on-one counseling at least twice a week as well as three hours of group therapy daily. They’ll also attend workshops focused on a variety of topics - the disease model of addiction, relapse prevention, and spirituality, to name a few - and 12-step meetings held off-site.
Additional offerings include neurofeedback, family programming, and yoga. When they complete their program, clients receive personalized aftercare and monitoring for an additional six months.

ABOUT OXFORD TREATMENT CENTER - OXFORD
Oxford Treatment Center operates four recovery centers. This 360 guide focuses on the facility in the small city of Oxford, northern Mississippi, which provides an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for individuals struggling with chemical dependency and dual diagnosis.
The IOP can provide an entry into treatment, but it also commonly serves as step-down aftercare for graduates of Oxford Treatment Center’s residential program in Etta. IOP treatment is also offered in Olive Branch and Tupelo, Miss.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Oxford Treatment Center’s outpatient program blends evidence-based treatment modalities with 12-step participation. Clients meet three times a week, and while the length of the program may vary depending on client needs, the average length of the program is 10 weeks.
Core programming includes group counseling sessions and educational classes, which address issues such as coping skills, trigger avoidance, and relapse prevention. In addition, clients participate in one-on-one therapy, and family counseling is also highly encouraged. If applicable, an in-house medical staff is available to treat common co-occurring mental health issues associated with addiction, such as anxiety and depression.
During the outpatient program, clients are expected to remain active in the 12-Steps, which includes attending meetings, performing step work, and gaining a 12-step sponsor, with whom they're expected to continue to work once the program is complete. This continued 12-step participation serves as aftercare.
The Oxford IOP Center also offers a free weekly group, led by therapists, for anyone who has ever had a loved one experience addiction or recovery.

However, the center's holistic offerings gained just one star from both of the alumni polled on this metric.
The lukewarm reviewer, Mark, indicated that they would recommend treatment at this center, but that they had relapsed after treatment and had to detox on their own. ""We do have a detox facility on our residential campus in Etta, MS. Patients there, who are detoxing, are monitored 24/7 by medical professionals,"" the facility wrote in response.

However, the two reviewers whose loved ones relapsed gave largely positive feedback nonetheless. ""He was great when he came back. He chose to not change friends and fell back into it. The Rehab was great,"" one anonymous reviewer wrote in a representative review, giving the facility five stars in most of the evaluated treatment metrics, including its family involvement and the overall quality of its addiction and mental health treatment.

Medical detox is not available on-site, but the facility works closely with local detox centers to coordinate smooth transitions from external detox into residential treatment.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Treatment plans include one-on-one counseling, group and family therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and motivational interviewing (MI). Clients with addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, are treated with medications, talk therapy, or both.
Recovery Road is equipped to help residents build a spiritual or religious component into their treatment, though this choice is left entirely to the individual. Educational workshops on relapse prevention and anger management are offered, as well as introductions to 12-step groups. Clients may also participate in holistic therapies, including yoga, meditation, acupuncture, and massage.

Among negative comments, alumni mentioned lack of one-on-one time, low affordability, and minimal or ineffective aftercare options; however, other reviewers such as Larry cited that although they went through treatment, they “slipped up after returning home and avoiding aftercare recommendations. When I realized I needed help I knew the only place I wanted to go was right back to Recovery Road, They are like family to me and welcomed me back without judgement.” J.M. noted that regarding aftercare, “success is mostly determined by a patients willingness to maintain the tools and utilize the resources set up after discharge.” In fact, alum SEF noted that “i have learned more here in this month then i have learned in any of my previous 17 other treatment centers.”
Most alumni were enthusiastic about the care received at Sunspire Health Recovery Road, describing “top notch care,” praiseworthy staff, relationships developed with other clients, and a clean environment.

Yet K.Y., whose husband attended Recovery Road, described the program as “a waste of time.” She said: “We were placed here without knowing any real details. He needed immediate help and thought this was going to offer it to him. Sure, while he was there, with the therapy and trips to the beach but all of that didn't help him when he got out into the real world.”

Combining traditional 12-step and holistic approaches, treatment options include a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and two outpatient (IOP and standard) tracks. Rally Point works closely with a few local detoxes.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
At the root of its programming, Rally Point sees addiction as a brain disease that “causes a chemical change which alters the brain and changes how it functions, leading to harmful and self-destructive behavior patterns.” In addition to 12-step meetings, a typical day at Rally Point may include one-on-one counseling and group therapy sessions, life skills training, and substance abuse education lectures and presentations. Clients also have several holistic opportunities to choose from such as acupuncture, yoga, fitness training, and music and art therapy. Despite personal preferences, family involvement is highly encouraged throughout treatment and is made possible through special events and video conferencing.
Each man has access to three unique programs. With several hours of daily therapy at its core, the PHP track supports clients through an around-the-clock staff five to seven days per week. Individuals seeking treatment that is accommodative of a busy schedule may benefit from either IOP or standard outpatient treatment. Slightly more demanding, the IOP track entails a minimum of nine hours of counseling and addiction education per week, whereas standard outpatient treatment consists of one or more group, individual, or family sessions per week. To facilitate flexible scheduling, outpatient sessions are available day, night, and on the weekends.
Upon completion of treatment, graduates have access to a robust aftercare program that features events and activities, local meetings and support groups, and volunteer opportunities.

Alum L.M. was blunt with their feedback, simply stating “Worst place ever,” and Jess elaborated slightly with “I was fooled by their marketer. This place is trash.” In a more encompassing review, Bert wrote: “They will do everything in their power to make sure you don't leave so they can keep collecting your insurance money,” and added, “If you are serious about getting help do not come to banyan because you will just be pushed off like you don't matter.”
Those who enjoyed their stay mostly attributed it to the “Great and caring staff” and “multiple treatment options.”

Through the practices of lyric writing, musical performance, and musical recording, individuals are exposed to novel tools for promoting lifelong sobriety and maintaining lasting recovery. Through both residential treatment and outpatient services, clients are also provided with traditional recovery resources such as 12-Step groups and cognitive behavioral therapy. Holistic offerings include yoga, nature walks, swimming and gym sessions.
","ABOUT RECOVERY UNPLUGGED - FLORIDA
Recovery Unplugged offers men and women who are struggling with drug and alcohol addiction the opportunity to pursue recovery by participating in music-based and traditional therapy. The flagship facility in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., provides multiple levels of outpatient therapy along with nearby supportive housing. Medically supervised detoxification services and residential treatment are available at the program’s Austin, Texas location.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Specialized treatment at Recovery Unplugged is founded on the idea that “music chemically alters our body and makes us feel great,” according to the facility’s website. Each client works through a personalized plan of treatment, which includes education about music. Throughout the rehabilitative process, clients write, study, produce, and perform music. Some participants have never played an instrument before beginning the program and others come with extensive experience.
Integrated with music therapy are other evidence-based treatment modalities. Every treatment program incorporates individual and group counseling sessions, as well as fitness therapies such as yoga and nature walks. Both cognitive behavioral therapy and 12-step concepts are applied. Clients who are experiencing co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, and PTSD, receive dual diagnosis treatment to address interrelated challenges.
At the Florida facility, three levels of outpatient treatment are offered. In the standard outpatient program, clients attend sessions on-site multiple times a week; the intensive outpatient program meets more frequently. The facility’s website does not specify a typical number of days or hours involved for these levels of care, but does indicate that the program length is one month.
Individuals seeking a more comprehensive rehab experience may participate in the “partial hospitalization” program, during which clients attend day and evening sessions throughout the week while living in off-site housing shared with others in the Recovery Unplugged community.
Aftercare includes counseling and help preparing for work and sober living beyond rehab. Family involvement in the recovery process is encouraged and arranged individually in collaboration between the client and their counselor.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
The program’s director of creative recovery is a successful musician with more than 25 years in recovery. Clinical staff members including a doctor and registered nurse both board certified in psychiatry, several master’s level therapists, and a certified Gestalt therapist.

","ABOUT RENAISSANCE RANCH
Renaissance Ranch offers addiction treatment in line with the beliefs and practices of the Mormon Church. The Bluffdale, Utah facility provides gender-specific long-term residential and intensive outpatient care for men and women who are struggling with substance use disorders, including those who have received a dual diagnosis of co-occurring mental health conditions. Family involvement in the recovery process is a priority and a long-term education program is available for loved ones. Detoxification services are not available on-site.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Clients are expected to have been through detox prior to beginning treatment at Renaissance Ranch and referrals to a recommended facility are provided if needed. After completing a scheduled assessment on-site, clients begin a program typically lasting a minimum of six months. Residential rehab is 60 days, followed by another 120 days of outpatient care.
The Renaissance Ranch website presents a holistic approach to recovery, built on 12-step and therapeutic community models. Both emphasize personal responsibility and peer support. While therapy is also faith-based, clients are not required to be a church member. In addition to spiritual, social, and psychological recovery (which is supported by cognitive behavioral therapy), residents can expect to participate in experiential and physical activities, which include adventure and animal therapies. The residential program also incorporates work therapy. Among the gender-specific concerns addressed are socialization, trauma, and shame.
After developing a thorough discharge plan and completing two months in residence, clients begin participating in some form of structured, outpatient program. They may stay in a recommended sober housing facility or their own residence, supported by case management plans addressing employment, housing, and holistic wellness. Clients take random drug tests and continue attending group therapy sessions, beginning with more frequent, multi-evening meetings for 90 days before transitioning into once a week for 60 days. An array of counseling services are available in Bluffdale and at other Renaissance Ranch facilities throughout Utah, Idaho, and Arizona.
Aftercare also offers an active alumni network with 12-step meetings and recreational outings such as golf.
Successful graduates of the ranch's six-month program may return for relapse-recovery treatment at no extra cost should they require it.

Set on Lake Michigan in the heart of downtown Chicago, Ill., Positive Sobriety Institute (PSI) provides outpatient treatment for adults with chemical dependency and co-occurring disorders, as well as transitional living facilities. Both inpatient and ambulatory detoxification services are provided on-site.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Upon admission, clients participate in a psychobiosocial assessment so that an individualized treatment plan can be created. The Multidisciplinary Comprehensive Assessment Program (M-CAP) evaluates professionals (e.g. pilots, attorneys, and business executives), who often are referred to Positive Sobriety Institute by their employers. There are one-day, two-day, and three-day M-CAPs, which employ drug screenings, psychological assessments, and neurological testing. The results are sent to the referral source.
PSI treats addiction as a brain disease, and thus uses the latest “evidence-based neuroscience approaches” to address its root cause. While approaches differ by intensity level, treatment programs incorporate addiction education, life skills training, individual therapy, and group therapy. Clients may also be introduced to the principles and practices of 12-Step groups, and a three-day family program is available for loved ones.
From M-CAP to mandatory aftercare, the specialized continuum of care for impaired professionals is designed to satisfy state and federal requirements for relicensure. Unique to the facility, this specialized treatment continuum may incorporate caduceus professional recovery groups and fit-for-duty assessments. Throughout treatment, the institute stays in contact with the organization and/or referring provider to make treatment recommendations.
Clients enrolled in the intensive outpatient program (IOP) or partial hospitalization program (PHP) may be encouraged to reside in the institute’s transitional living facilities. The length of IOP can vary between four to 12 weeks, depending on the individual’s need. IOP consists of psychoeducational classes and group counseling sessions. The mandatory, two-year aftercare program for impaired professionals consists of weekly group therapy and 12-step involvement.

","ABOUT TREE HOUSE RECOVERY PDX
Located in Portland, Ore., Tree House Recovery PDX is a long-term residential program for men struggling with chemical dependency. Unique to Tree House Recovery, the facility utilizes both evidence-based and traditional methods, as well as an intensive physical fitness regimen throughout the residential program to promote sustainable recovery. The facility does not provide medical detoxification services on-site.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Upon admission, clients may undergo an initial substance abuse history assessment to help clinicians develop an individualized treatment curriculum. Overall, Tree House Recovery PDX's treatment utilizes three core approaches to programming: counseling and education, holistic methods, and physical fitness training. The length of the long-term residential program is determined by individual needs and treatment progress.
During the resident program, clients attend both process group therapy and one-on-one counseling to address the underlying concerns that may contribute to addictive behavior. Residents also attend educational presentations and interactive group classes that cover a range of topics related to chemical dependency, including the physiology of addiction, predisposition factors, and relapse prevention skills training.
To improve mindfulness, self-expression, and coping skills, Tree House Recovery also requires residents to participate in writing therapy. According to the facility website, writing therapy is designed to address ""a wide variety of personal traumas and emotionally painful experiences."" In addition, clients attend trauma-informed method of yoga.
As stated, intensive physical fitness training plays a major role in overall programming. During the residential programming, residents participate in vigorous workouts led by Tree House's trainers. One component of the fitness regimen is Action Based Induction Therapy, or ABIT, which is repetitive form of exercise that is designed to improve the prefrontal cortex function of the brain. Often diminished through prolonged addiction, this part of the brain is responsible for overall mood and self-esteem.

Do you work at this facility? Let us know if we missed something! ","Going through Tree House saved my life! Before Tree House I was a wreck of a man. I could not stop the horrible cycle of addiction. I was on the street, sleeping in cars hopeless and suicidal. I completely destroyed my relationship with my family and didn't have a single true friend. Tree House taught me how to love myself. Bit by bit my therapist Billy Grande showed me who I really am in our one on one sessions. In addiction ed I was taught all about the disease witch allowed me to stop putting so much blame on my self i was drowning in guilt, but once I understood what had really been going on with my brain, body, and my actions things started getting clear. I started to put my life back together piece by piece almost like a puzzle being able to see the good in the people around me and spin it off in my way and claim it as my. I developed social skills, confidence, and determination. After about two months into the program I was convinced I would never allow myself to slip back in to the past unhealthy life. I can honestly say that these past 16 months of my life have been my best and my journey is only beginning.

","ABOUT SAFE HARBOR TREATMENT CENTER FOR WOMEN
Founded in 1993, Safe Harbor Treatment Center for Women offers detox, residential treatment, and sober-living homes for women aged 18+ who are struggling with substance use disorder, eating disorders, and trauma. The organization is based in suburban Costa Mesa, in sunny Southern California.

The center offers four residential facilities: a detox unit, the Knox Program for women aged 18 to 24 who are struggling with substance use disorder, the Magellan Program for women struggling with an eating disorder or sex or love addiction, and the Capella Program for women struggling with relationship trauma. The center is founded on the belief that the women it treats need love and support.
Programs are based on the 12-Steps, and the center recommends a 90-day stay. The core program includes weekly therapy and case management services, daily 12-step meetings and process meetings, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and groups on topics such as love addiction, body image, and relapse prevention. Holistic options include yoga, meditation, and art expression.
Young substance abuse clients are also encouraged to seek and maintain employment and education during their treatment, in order to equip them with life skills for use as they transition back into life in their community. The Magellan Program adds weekly sessions with eating disorder specialists, meal planning, supervised restaurant trips, monitored gym time, and other specialized services.
In the Capella Program, there’s a focus on mental and behavioral health conditions such as PTSD, OCD, anxiety, and co-occurring addictions, as well as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and experiential therapies such as art expression and cinema therapy.

They always brought love into everything,” Sophia wrote. Other alumni praised the center’s alumni network, gentle spiritual guidance, and calm atmosphere.
The reviews also yielded recurring criticisms. Several alumni reported that they felt staff were underqualified: “I'd suggest requiring a Masters in Social Services, even for support staff. They oftentimes had no idea what they were doing and were unprofessional...” K.O. wrote. Some reviewers also cited mistreatment from individual staff members. Perhaps resulting from this apparent lack of staff training, some reviewers described excessive leniency and inconsistency in dealing with residents.
Others cited an apparent lack of therapy options, in particular a lack of alternatives to the 12-Steps, and dirty, run-down conditions. “I had the worst experience of my life at Safe Harbor. I had to scrub toilets and clean up the house that is falling to pieces,” Annie wrote. The facility responded to Annie to say: “It deeply concerns me to hear your report on your experience at Safe Harbor. In some cases when addicts and alcoholics are in early recovery their experiences can be distorted or skewed due to the trauma of addiction.”

","ABOUT SAN DIEGO ADDICTION TREATMENT CENTER - RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT FACILITY FOR MEN
San Diego Addiction Treatment Center's Residential Treatment Facility For Men is one of two Forterus facilities in Southern California. Forterus facilities are a part of the American Addiction Centers’ (AAC) network. This facility, located in the Golden Hill neighborhood of central San Diego, offers detox, residential treatment, and outpatient care for adult men who are struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring disorders. Aftercare services including planning, support groups, and relapse prevention are available.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
The treatment process at San Diego Addiction Treatment Center - Residential Treatment Facility For Men (SDATC) begins with a comprehensive assessment by medical and behavioral health specialists. This assessment is used to develop an individualized treatment plan. Then, clients are directed to the most appropriate form of treatment. Treatment at the facility is based on individualized care and the 12-steps principles. Community and family involvement is also emphasized in the treatment process.
Clients in need of immediate medical management are admitted to the detox program where they are supervised 24/7 by biomedical technicians, in a dedicated detox unit. Once clients finish the detox program, most go to the residential program.
San Diego Addiction Treatment Center recommends a 90-day stay in residential treatment. During treatment, clients participate in individual counseling sessions. Treatment also includes group counseling and 12-step meetings. The facility uses a specialized treatment plan called Embracing Change: Recovery for Life developed specifically for Forterus facility programs. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT), and motivational interviewing (MI) are all used as treatment modalities.
Clients also participate in physical and educational rehabilitation services. Educational courses on sober living skills such as nutrition and exercise are provided in an effort to facilitate healthier lifestyles. Specialized treatments are also available for different co-occurring disorders including PTSD and depression.
In addition to the residential program, the facility also offers a PHP program that meets for six to eight hours, at least five days per week. There is also an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that meets for three hours, three to seven days per week. These programs are designed for clients that need a less structured environment or as a step-down process from more structured recovery programs. These programs use the same treatment methods as the residential program, but focus more on the counseling aspect than physical recovery.
All clients leave San Diego Addiction Treatment Center with an aftercare program designed in collaboration with their treatment team. SDATC has an alumni group that meets regularly to refresh their sober living skills and commitment to sobriety. Clients are also encouraged to participate in local recovery support groups. For clients that experience relapse issues, SDATC offers up to 30 days of recovery and sober living support services for free to clients that completed the 90 day residential program.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
The treatment team at San Diego Addiction Treatment Center includes nurses, physicians, licensed counselors, and social workers. The staff members have training and certifications in their respective fields, as well as years of experience addressing the needs of rehab clients. The two individuals polled by Rehabs.com to date on the staff’s level of training and experience gave it a four-star and a five-star rating.
ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES
At San Diego Addiction Treatment Center, clients live in a family-style home with a full kitchen and simple shared bedrooms. There is also a table-tennis table, a garden, and a gym next door. Both individuals polled by Rehabs.com to date on the center’s cleanliness gave it five-star ratings.
WHAT ALUMNI SAY

The positive reviewers described receiving support, love, and care at the facility, and, in one-off pieces of praise, spoke highly of the education provided, the tools received, and the program’s holistic treatment offerings. “The love and care that I received along with the customized treatment plan makes me feel like I can continue my recovery for the rest of my life,” alum Derek wrote.
However, more than one reviewer concluded that the facility was more interested in money than in helping its clients. “This is a total scam, stay away,” alum M.H. wrote in a representative review: “This was suppose to be a detox center, it was a two story house with no medical professionals in house.” In addition, alum Jaime described having a lot of difficulty getting hold of staff after completing treatment.
On its official Facebook page, which the facility can manage, San Diego Addiction Treatment Center earned two perfect five-star reviews. [1] And on Google, the facility received an average of 3.6 out of five stars from nine reviews at the time of this writing.

WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY
The two loved ones polled by Rehabs.com to date gave polarized feedback.
The positive reviewer praised the treatment program. “I think this facility is very good at what it does and it is well worth the cost,” the anonymous reviewer wrote, giving the facility four- and five-star ratings for its treatment effectiveness, its exercise and leisure provisions, its family participation, its counseling options, and its treatment for co-occurring disorders.
The negative reviewer gave the facility one out of five stars for its level of treatment effectiveness and complained about the level of family participation. Loved one S.F.T.B. wrote: “We are still paying payments for this treatment however he is worse now then when he went. I was on his list of contacts however my calls were not answered at all.”

","ABOUT HER HOUSE WOMEN'S ADDICTION TREATMENT CENTER
Her House Women’s Treatment Center, formerly known as New Creations and headquartered in Ranch Cucamonga, Calif., offers a range of substance abuse services for women. In addition to on-site detoxification, the center provides residential treatment, outpatient treatment, programs for individuals with co-occurring disorders or chronic pain, and a faith-based recovery track. An affiliated rehab for men is located nearby, called His House.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
According to the center’s website, the detoxification process at Her House utilizes medication to alleviate withdrawal symptoms, and clients engage in education workshops and counseling. Once stabilized, clients work with staff to create a personalized treatment plan. The duration of treatment varies, but the traditional residential program lasts four weeks.
Residential treatment at Her House consists of four phases and blends 12-step practices, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), associative awareness therapy (AAT), and other experiential therapies. In Her House’s intensive outpatient program (IOP), there are daily, three-hour sessions, which are educational and in a group format. Additional services at the facility include specialized dual diagnosis treatment, an evening family program, and continuing aftercare to ensure sobriety beyond treatment.
The facility states on its website that it is open to all faiths, but one of its specialty programs is a Christian Track, which combines 12-step philosophies with on-site pastoral care, bible study, and regular church attendance.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
The center offers a 1:3 staff-to-client ratio. Staff include drug and alcohol counselors, case managers, social workers, a psychiatrist, and pastors.
ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES
According to the center’s website, residents live in one of four facilities, all of which are homelike and located in suburban neighborhoods. There are 104 beds available. Bedrooms are shared (though private rooms are available) and clients have access to fitness activities. For an additional fee physical trainers, massage therapists, acupuncture treatment, psychiatrists, physicians, and therapists are available.
WHAT ALUMNI SAY
The nearly two dozen alumni who were surveyed by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing provided mixed reviews. A rating of 4.26 out of five stars was awarded for treatment effectiveness by 19 reviewers. One alum, Darla, gave her overall experience a four-star rating, but added: “Not really designed for individual, mostly group at facility as a whole. More one on one time would have helped.”
Other alumni noted inconsistencies between the facility’s marketing materials and its actual offerings. One former client wrote to Rehabs.com that the pool and gym that were advertised did not exist, but ultimately rated their experience with five stars, saying: “Took great care of me and they really care.”
J.G. also noted a discrepancy between what she was promised and what was actually available. She wrote: “This facility was chosen for me specifically because their web page and the person at the call center talked about their pain management program and the massage therapists and physical therapists I'd have access to. This was completely false and when I arrived and started asking about that program the staff seemed truly shocked that I had been told that.”
More favorable reviews came from T.B. and Penny, who highly recommended the facility. Penny, for example, commented: “The staff and clients made me feel right at home. The program is very informative. The education I received about my disease was very good.”
WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY
The three loved ones polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing also provided mixed reviews. A loved one had a positive opinion of the rehab, especially regarding the aftercare provisions. “It helps people reajust ones they are done with treatment,” they said, adding: “Continues involvement is the key to success.”
Yet Lisa, a parent of a client, gave her experience the lowest possible score and referenced billing issues, rude staff, and lack of adequate treatment. She wrote: “The 3 weeks my daughter was there with her own meds she saw a therapist once and went to the psychiatrist once who actually called to tell me to get her out of there ASAP. One time did they ever even leave the facility and it was to Walmart. They could not even go on walks.” The facility responded on Rehabs.com, noting that the stated issues were uncharacteristic of the staff and facility.
Another family member, Amy, wrote of her daughter's treatment: “Her treatment was not individualized. Her trauma and codependency issues were not addressed properly.”
FINANCING
The price for 90 days of treatment at New Creation starts at $32,500. One month costs $14,500. To help cover costs, the center offers financial assistance and accepts insurance.

","ABOUT SPRINGBOARD RECOVERY
SpringBoard Recovery is a full-service, luxury, drug and alcohol treatment center in Scottsdale, Ariz. The center’s residential and outpatient treatment programs are based on a combination of 12-step and holistic approaches - including naturopathic counseling and nutrition - to treat the whole person. Detoxification services and sober living options are also available.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
SpringBoard Recovery believes that addiction is “a disease not just of the brain or mind, but also of the body.” Accordingly, its programs are designed to support both the physical and mental recovery of each client, helping them achieve healthy and balanced, substance-free lifestyles.
The center runs multiple levels of care to meet the needs of a wide audience. One is a partial hospitalization program (PHP) that takes the form of inpatient treatment; another is an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that offers clients a sober living option while in treatment. For those with a strong support system in place, without the need for the structure of a residential setting, or simply unable to step away from work, outpatient counseling may be the best fit.
As clients choose from one of these options, they’ll be met with a holistic curriculum that aims to address four distinct areas of life: physical, mental, social, and spiritual. Each day, following a morning meditation, clients attend private and group therapy as well as 12-step meetings. At night, they’ll review the day’s work and look ahead to the next one. Balanced, nutritious meals along with regular exercise promote overall health and improved brain chemistry.
Random drug screenings and weekly process meetings are also to be expected.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
SpringBoard’s therapists are master’s level and licensed professionals (LPCs). Each client also has access to a medical team and peer support.
ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES
SpringBoard Recovery depicts two separate facilities on its website: an administrative office and counseling center and a residential facility.
The office and counseling center has several meeting rooms, both large and small, for private counseling and group activities, as well as a kitchenette and a game room. The luxurious residence features spacious, shared bedrooms, large bathrooms with multiple sinks, a fully-equipped modern kitchen, comfortable common areas, and a backyard area with pool, patio, and grill.
WHAT ALUMNI SAY
Alumni feedback is phenomenal. Collectively, 10 of the 11 former SpringBoard clients to have completed Rehabs.com surveys as of this writing awarded the center near-perfect average ratings for its staff’s level of training and experience (4.9 stars out of five), its counseling options (4.9), and its holistic offerings (4.6). The 10 alumni also shared perfect five-star ratings for the center’s exercise and leisure opportunities, its discharge policies, and in their overall ratings.
In their written commentary, alumni credited the program with an “Incredibly caring” staff who helped them develop the tools and skills needed to thrive in sobriety. “The recovery center taught me the tools needed to save my life, become a productive member of society, and love myself once again,” wrote alum Joshua. “Hands down the best recovery center I’ve gone through.”
Several others described the program at SpringBoard as a life-changing opportunity. “SpringBoard Recovery changed my life in such a positive way,” wrote Hunter. “Saved my life!” raved Keith in yet another excellent report.
WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY
Feedback provided by three loved ones was no less excellent.
In the most detailed of the three reports, P.S. shared her appreciation for SpringBoard with Rehabs.com: “Their sincere concern, along with professional expertise, provided an experience that not only saved my family member’s life, was beyond what I could have ever expected. The team is exceptional... This program is exceptional.”
Emilio and Kelsey, the two other loved ones, found the facility “clean” and “well kept,” and its staff “Very nice” and “great.”
WHAT STAFF SAY
Laura, a staff member at SpringBoard Recovery, called the program “Excellent” and its staff “Caring, supportive.”
FINANCING
Treatment costs $8,900 for 30 days. SpringBoard Recovery also has an insurance verification form on its website, indicating that insurance is accepted.

Each treatment plan incorporates evidence-based treatment strategies that will balance your program and focus you on a path of recovery and sobriety. A Better Today recognizes the necessity of behavioral and emotional shifts that were the causes of addiction and treats clients accordingly. We understand that very often, drugs and alcohol are not the problem, rather they were used as a solution to underlying conflicts. We help clients develop healthy alternatives to drugs and alcohol as means of coping by conquering harmful emotions and thoughts.
Services like cognitive behavioral therapy, music and art therapy, nutrition and fitness, group and individual counseling, and life skill coaching are just some of the treatment strategies we incorporate to help develop coping skill and life tools. A Better Today genuinely cares about your journey through recovery and will focus the end of your treatment on relapse prevention, developing a strong support system with family and friends and finding a sober living community in your area to help introduce or reintroduce you to a lifestyle that is drug free.

A Better Today (ABT) provides individualized addiction treatment services for adult men and women. Services are offered at three locations, including Las Vegas and Portland. The Scottsdale, Ariz.-based facility offers a full continuum of treatment options including on-site medically monitored detox, residential and intensive outpatient (IOP) care, and sober living residences.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
ABT develops individualized programs to address each client’s needs, basing treatment on the disease model and an understanding that addiction affects everybody differently. Combining evidence-based treatments such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with 12-step meetings, the facility presents clients with several different avenues to express themselves and find what speaks to them. According to the facility’s website, treatment programs typically last 90 days.
Each week, clients participate in one-on-one and group therapy sessions as well as family meetings. To supplement their time in therapy, clients are provided with therapeutic and recreational opportunities such as yoga, strength therapy, equine therapy, and music and art therapy. Clients also learn important life skills which focus on personal hygiene and proper nutrition.
Aftercare options may include sober living arrangements, primarily designed as a step-down level of care, where residents are given ample opportunities to apply their newly-acquired life skills while holding down real world responsibilities.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
A Better Today employs full-time physicians, including the facility’s chief program officer who is a Ph.D. The staff also includes life coaches and other master’s level therapists skilled in treating addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders.

Located on a large lot with palm trees and a swimming pool in the back yard, the Scottsdale-based residence features a modern décor. The facility includes a large kitchen and dining area along with private and shared rooms which include queen- or full-size beds.

WHAT ALUMNI SAY
The 22 alumni polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing gave highly polarized reviews. On the positive side, 14 alumni credited ABT with saving their lives. They also praised the facility’s strong alumni program, and the “amazing” therapists and counselors for treating them with “utmost respect.” “Best decision of my life… so far,” Bryan, a positive alum, wrote.
The eight other alumni, in contrast, were much less enthusiastic about their time in recovery. These alumni complained about “disorganized, inexperienced, money hungry” staff members, nightmarish detox experiences, the lack of a psychiatrist on staff, the lack of aftercare, and a major discrepancy between pictures posted and the actual conditions of the facility. “I strongly advise you to go elsewhere. There are much better programs in the area,” J.D.G. warned others, in a representative statement.
WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY
To date, the four loved ones polled by Rehabs.com offered disparate perspectives of the facility. Michelle referred to ABT’s weekly Family Day as an “unbelievable experience” and told of her brother’s success story here, after he attended eight different treatment programs.
Yet B.W.M., the mother of a client, had the opposite experience. “She was placed in detox although that was not the issue and was discussed thoroughly in our conference with ABT personnel. She received NO services, yet we were charged $6000,” she wrote. Reflecting some statements made by alumni, T.J. indicated that “A Better Today is more concerned with revenue than their patients,” and explained that his son was “told to leave immediately because the insurance did not authorize additional days.”
WHAT STAFF SAY
In a balanced review, S.S.R., the one staff member polled by Rehabs.com at the time of this writing, awarded ABT mostly perfect, five-star ratings for more than a dozen metrics evaluated and reported both positive and negative aspects of the facility. “I have seen people flourish after leaving A Better Today facility. I have seen lives change. A Better Today has its problems but what they don't lack is compassion and dedication to this line of work,” S.S.R. wrote.
FINANCING
This facility offers financing options and accepts private and public insurances. ABT’s website offers an online insurance verification form.

","ABOUT BANYAN TREATMENT CENTER — NAPERVILLE, IL
Banyan Treatment Center of Naperville, Ill., a suburb of Chicago, is one of five treatment centers operated by the treatment provider. The Naperville facility offers outpatient-based treatment for individuals struggling with chemical dependency and co-occurring mental health concerns. The facility offers a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and traditional outpatient program. The facility does not provide detoxification services.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Upon admission, clients participate in an initial substance abuse assessment to determine an appropriate level of care. Individuals who require a more intensive level of care to obtain and sustain sobriety may be referred to the Banyan Treatment Center’s PHP. Offering a full week of programming and serving as an alternative to inpatient care, PHP involves at least 28 hours of weekly treatment. Banyan Treatment Center utilizes a range of evidence-based treatment methods to treat its clientele.
During PHP, clients participate in individual, group, and family therapy, as well as specialized counseling sessions that address the unique needs of the individual, such as co-occurring disorders. Utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques in counseling sessions, clinicians help clients to identify and modify dysfunctional thinking and behavioral patterns. Clients struggling with trauma-related concerns may also participate in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to lessen the emotional intensity associated with specific events and situations.
Banyan Treatment Center of Naperville also integrates the 12-step model of recovery into programming. Clients may be required to attend 12-step meetings within the community, study fellowship literature, and participate in “step-work” workshops to help guide clients through the process. Clients also attend educational classes on substance abuse and participate in art therapy sessions.
Once a client completes PHP, clinicians may encourage clients to transition into a less-intensive program to receive a comprehensive continuum of care. Offering similar programming as PHP, Banyan Treatment Center’s IOP involves a minimum of nine hours of weekly programming, while the traditional outpatient program entails attending at least one 90-minute group per week. To accommodate client schedules, outpatient sessions are held in the mornings and evenings.
Upon completing treatment, all clients are welcome to join the alumni program, which offers clients a supportive community after program completion.

Those who want to follow 12-step programming can also be accommodated, particularly in a spiritual treatment track that includes both indigenous and Christian approaches to the 12-Steps.
There is also a focus on life skills, including classes on work ethic, financial planning, relationships, anger management, and family education. Physical wellness is taken care of through nutrition and fitness programs.

ABOUT THE EXCLUSIVE ADDICTION TREATMENT CENTER
Set on a 16-acre private property overlooking the azure waters of the Pacific, The Exclusive Hawaii is a luxury, residential treatment program designed to treat adults struggling with chemical dependency or co-occurring mental health disorders. Located on The Big Island of Hawaii, in the seaside community of Honokaa, The Exclusive offers three types of holistic residential programs: 30, 60, or 90 days. The facility also provides an aftercare program, as well as a 10-day holistic detoxification service.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Before beginning treatment, clients participate in both a pre-admission substance abuse assessment and an in-person evaluation to form an individualized treatment program. The Exclusive’s treatment approach is not based on 12-step principles or practices. Rather, the facility combines holistic treatment approaches with specialized evidence-based modalities to address underlying issues contributing to addiction, as well as equip clients with proven-effective tools and skills to sustain sobriety.
Upon admission, clients undergo a 10-day initial detoxification process, which reflects the facility’s adherence to holistic approaches. The detoxification process includes specific nutritional and dietary supplements, acupuncture, therapeutic massages, infrared sauna sessions, meditation, and yoga. During the detoxification process, clients slowly begin to participate in one-on-one therapy sessions and intimate group counseling sessions.
A major component of The Exclusive’s treatment concept is “Core Belief Restructuring,” which is a specialized cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) approach. Emphasized through individual and group counseling sessions, Core Belief Restructuring focuses on five elements to improve the emotional and psychological state of clients: self-acceptance, coping and emotional fluidity, self-awareness, behavioral implementations, and a commitment to purpose.
The Exclusive also utilizes experiential engagement therapy (EET) to navigate issues of shame- and fear-based negative thinking. In addition, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) sessions are integrated into treatment to modify unhealthy responses to trauma.
Along with addressing the psychological factors contributing to addictive behavior, The Exclusive also incorporates a range of holistic treatments into programming. Clients participate in laughter-focused yoga, art and music therapy, equine therapy, intentional breathing sessions, and Reiki (healing touch). Clients also enjoy regular nature outings and participate in physical and recreational activities. A family support program allows loved ones to visit clients on a basis appropriate to each client’s treatment.
Clients who complete a 30-, 60-, or 90-day program are invited to participate in a 30-day aftercare program to ease the transition back into the community. The Aftercare Life Skills Program involves 30 hours of therapy conducted by phone or videoconference. To facilitate counseling sessions relevant to the client, the aftercare sessions can be conducted individually or through couples/family therapy.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
The Exclusive Addiction Treatment Center employs a highly-qualified team comprised of physicians, registered nurses, licensed professional counselors, recreational therapists (including a therapy dog), and core belief restructuring therapists. Holistic specialists facilitate alternative treatments, such as acupuncture, reiki, and therapeutic massages.

The Exclusive residence is an eight-bed, 10,000-square-foot mansion perched on the ocean cliffs of Hawaii. Set on 16 acres, the estate is surrounded by tropical foliage and grazing horses, while the upscale facility features luxurious appointments and furnishings.

Do you work at this facility? Let us know if we missed something! ","Before I came to The Exclusive, my life was spiraling down like you wouldn’t believe. I was drinking close to one liter of scotch a day and my wife and kids were ready to leave me. I was feeling worthless and depressed. At The Exclusive I learnt that alcohol wasn’t my real problem, my real problem was things inside me, some beliefs inside me that were hurting me bad enough to where I felt that I had to go and escape through the bottle of alcohol and once I started uncovering those truths, it was pretty amazing the way I started feeling and realizing that, that’s true. Although I know I would never drink alcohol again, I now have the tools that I was taught here at the center, how to really deal with life in a more positive way, where I no longer beat myself up and I’m a lot happier.""",6424,"2018-01-08 04:08:08","The Exclusive Hawaii" 72,"2018-01-09 03:30:32",remove,ok,remove,ok,ok,ok,remove,remove,remove,remove,remove,remove,remove,599,"2018-01-09 03:30:32","600 Putnam Pike, Suite 7",02828,,clinicalservicesri.com,,0,0,0,"Clinical Services of Rhode Island (CSRI) provides outpatient rehab and addiction treatment services that embody a “big-picture” approach to substance abuse treatment, addressing the client’s lifestyle and environmental factors contributing to the addiction.

Set on 14 scenic acres overlooking a private lake, A Forever Recovery (AFR) is a residential facility that treats substance abuse as well as eating disorders and process addictions, such as those to gambling, porn, shopping, and the internet.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
AFR’s program takes a moral reasoning approach, which uses various cognitive and evidence-based practices to aid clients’ recovery. To be responsive to each individual’s needs, AFR uses several different pathways of care. Rather than subscribing to any one treatment philosophy, AFR holds that any method that can get at the root of the addiction should be used.
The paths offered are: faith-based; self-help, which uses Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and other recovery community organizations; cognitive, which is ideal for those who are uncomfortable with the 12-step model and religious-based environments; holistic, which incorporates yoga, martial arts, guided imagery, and more; and indigenous, which incorporates Native American teachings into the 12-Steps. Each regime promises some individual therapy — though some alumni polled by Rehabs.com reported that they did not receive individual therapy.
Clients graduate from AFR with a customized aftercare plan that includes connections to support groups and religious institutions, fitness centers, and other sober activities.

Do you work at this facility? Let us know if we missed something! ","A Forever recovery has changed my life completely. I came in unsure of myself-no confidence or drive to do anything. MRT was intimidating at first, but I adjusted to it. The steps were very challenging but I learned so much. I learned that there are underlying issues as to why I became addicted in the first place. MRT pushed me to find the “real me”- my inner self. I realized I don’t need to hide my feelings and past traumas, that people here have similar pasts so I have nothing to be ashamed of. Most important is sobriety. For the first time in my life (well10+ years) I can be me, without substances. I can handle things and emotions without covering it up every day.

Do you work at this facility? Let us know if we missed something! ","Our daughter had been in and out of treatment facilities one right after another for over a year. She never got the treatment she needed at the other facilities due to overcrowding, time limits on stays or insurance saying they would only allow her to stay for so long even though, we as parents could see she wasn’t ready. Before she even chose to get treatment at Desert Cove Recovery, the staff was looking out for her well-being and safety. They helped her get the proper treatment before being a client with them. Desert Cove’s program is different than the other programs. They provide more individualized therapy and look at the individual as a whole and not just as a textbook diagnosis. They didn’t move on until they felt the client was ready for it. The staff was upfront with us and did not sugar coat our daughter’s progress like they did at other treatment facilities. They handled everything such as legal, financial, transportation and medical concerns and communicated with us as needed. With their help, as parents, we were finally able to relax a little and concentrate on our own healing and focus on getting our lives back on track after years of turmoil. Every staff member, from the receptionist to the director, at Desert Cove, was professional and kept us informed. The staff was honest and up front with our daughter and even though they challenged her she chose to stay at Desert Cove as an inpatient longer than a typical client which allowed her some extra treatment before moving on to a sober living home.
