Atlantic Treatment Center

This is the best clinic in a three counties, it's not all about making money, they actual help you any way they can, they go beyond above their duty, try them out, you'll be surprised, kind, compationate, careing all that and more, they even had tuition help, two weeks free. Who does that, lots of time coffeand donuts free or included in treatment, got to have coffee with dose, I could go on and on, the list never ends

This clinic saved my life. I started with them in a Miami office-where after 17 years old trying to quit opiates-methadone was my last resort. They do start you off on a low mg (standard for state of FL) then raise the dose daily so if you’re a heavy fentanyl user it may take a few days to feel 100%, but it is a lot easier than struggling for 3 days in detox waiting for the fentanyl to leave your system to be able to take the buprenorphine (precipitated withdrawals). For a long time I tried to stop and stay off any maintenance medication, because people have stigmatized it saying “you’re switching one substance for another, what’s the point” the point is that there are 1 million and 1 ways to get clean, what works for me may not work for you. I have been successful going on year 4 thanks to this Clinic. Once my urine started coming out clean I quickly progressed to showing up once a month. If you have tried everything else and cannot stay clean, visit this clinic. They have more options than one for MAT to fit your needs. Whenever I had an issue or had to travel-getting a hold of the Director was always easy. They will also help you find an insurance that covers it so you don’t have to come out of pocket, but comparing it to spending $100/day the cost of the medication doesn’t even compare. They go above and beyond to help. They saved my life. Also, remove the stigma of MAT-my life is manageable now and the only side effect I experienced was success.

I want to say after being in the grips of a horrid addiction for 15+years, I debated on whether getting back on Maintenance treatment with methadone, due to the stigma and rumors. However, after trying countless times to quit “without anything” and repeatedly failing, when I made the decision to take the step to start treatment, I accepted that saving my life by any means necessary was no question the best option. 3 years later, I’m a 37 year old, financially secure, healthy, productive member of society and my family*. I’m accountable to everyone and everything and my life is no longer unmanageable. I’ve tried and had success with Buprenorphine in the past, but when I relapsed in 2019, Fentanyl was the new street opioid and 100 times harder to quit than Heroin. One has to abstain from Fentanyl at least 3 days before taking it, whereas with methadone you don’t have to wait. The owner and staff/nurses/counselors are professionals and there to help. There has never been an instant or emergency that they could not help me with. I’m grateful for sticking through the first difficult days of my body and mind transitioning into sobriety. If you are thinking about it and don’t have the luxury of going to detox, do it. Save your life. Since then I’ve cleared HCV and gotten healthy physically. Thank you ATC and GGTC - SS
