Top Ranked Drug Rehab Centers In Bartow, FL

This is place is AMAZING! I came in last week and this place SAVED MY LIFE! Staff & Nurses do EXCELLENT work and care for EVERY client!

At first I have to say, I would not have given them any stars BUT I went in high and by day 2 felt pretty bad already. I walked in on my own accord and on day 3 almost walked out. Thanks to a few of the employees there I did not. They talked me through the worst of the times I had in there and that alone is why I am sitting here typing this review. They literally saved my life. Anyone who is reading this I just want to say something that I hope the right people hear....there is nothing easy about getting clean or staying clean. But there is also nothing easy about staying high. It is possible to live again after addiction. But no one can be forced into it. They have to be ready. At their ropes end so to speak...emotionally, financially, physically what ever the case it has to be their choice. Someone who is not an addict cant tell an addict what they need to do and how they should just stop. That would be like telling someone not on drugs to stop breathing. I know anyone who has never been there and is reading this is thinking that I am a moron, and well maybe but I am a CLEAN moron. 75 days today. I am a great father again and a great husband, son, brother, uncle, friend and I AM ALIVE for the first time in many years. So please to the parents with an addict for a child, or a spouse with a husband or wife that has an addiction or a best friend....Please go easy on who ever it is that you are trying to help. Have compassion and love in your heart. Try to be understanding even if your angry at them and you are most certainly angry at them but your angry because you love them and you are worried about them. Try to remember that every time to want to offer them help. Because I will tell you the Gods honest truth, a true addict and this is coming from someone who was putting 500 dollars a day of Fentanyl in his arm (the most powerful opiate for human consumption) but a honest to God true addict doesn't want to be. They are in a very very lonely place. They feel like they are in this world all alone. Like being on some deserted island with no happiness at all not even from the drug. More guilt than you can even begin to imagine from all the lies, and the stealing money and losing everything or selling everything they have ever owned. Trust me when I say they know where they stand in the eyes of the world. So its up to you as their loved ones to give them them the confidence and strength and support that they need to make the right decision and its up to them to make it. I do apologize for the long review but if only one person gets something helpful out of what I wrote here today then I feel like Im helping. So the original post........how do I rate the detox unit in Bartow (AKA The Mary Lyons Center) well, 5 stars. Yes its state funded and the bottom of the barrel but you are not there on vacation, your there to go through 5 days of hell to get your life back. Honestly I would imagine that it would not matter where you are when you begin to get severely dope sick. There is no meds to help with the withdrawls other than clonidine and for an addict thats like eating skittles. But the worse it feels and the more it hurts the longer your going to remember what you went through and hopefully you wont want to put yourself through it again. And PS all free detox facilities are going to suck to some extreme. Thank you to everyone at The Mary Lyons detox unit for everything. I honestly owe my life to you. Oh everyone but Marlena. She caused me more problems than she even realizes. And if your reading this Marlena.....I'm still clean and doing better than I ever have so what you told my wife on the phone was just simple ignorance. Anyone whos thinking about getting clean...dont think about it just walk in and do it. Its so worth it. God Bless and I wish you all the best

This place helped save my life

It's been a long process and they have helped in my times of need...

Everyone is so friendly I love Adam Lynn and Jim and Renee they truly care about you

Excellent services!

I have guest dosed here for years and have never had issues on their end. Only issues i ever had were from my old clinic before i got a great counselor.

Omg this doctor change my life I feel that I’m back to the old me when I was not addicted to opioid ,this doctor actually care for his patients he sat down with me and listen to my story he never once judge me he actually listens and Care for his patients so much

Great place to go for your treatment. Very reasonable prices. Staff are friendly as well...

They are amazing the staff counselors and Dr.

Amazing service really fast and reliant 🦾🦾🦾

Really great people life saving

I am forever grateful to this place. The staff is incredible, they truly care and put their heart and soul in everything they do. Donald was my therapist, Brandy was my case manager; they were both wonderful. The other therapists and case managers that weren’t even mine were a vital part in my recovery. I suggest utilizing all the staff you can, including the BHT’s. They want to help, and they definitely did. The reviews talking about “only an hour a day in the pool,” or the “gym isn’t good enough,” if that’s what you’re taking away with you in your recovery, then good luck. We had groups every day of the week, which is a necessary part in our recovery. They had activities for us every night, so we could build connections while having fun. The pool and the gym were extra gifts when we had the opportunity to use them. I would have loved it without. If you’re considering taking the steps to recovery, 100% recommend.

Sammi (case manager) Rosie (lead BHT), and Brandon (BHT) where the best at helping me on my journey! Highly recommend! This place saved my life and these 3 were major parts in my recovery. Donald L. Is the best therapist.also Miranda BHT

White Sands was a vital part of my recovery journey! Every staff member was helpful and courteous. Maria G was my therapist and helped me in ways I couldn't imagine. This treatment center was truly helpful and I recommend it to anyone who is ready to take the first step in their recovery journey.

Very nice and the service is fast i love it

The only complaint I have about the Lakeland VA is the do not have an emergency room

The people here are so kind and helpful. The building is nicely built and new.

Great staff and safe space with great food!

My son had his first appointment with the doctor this August 2025. Kristy Oneill was very attentive to his needs and prescribed medication that was available in the pharmacy the same day. This was a huge relief because my son was in high anxiety, his hands were trembling, and he had not slept the whole night before the visit. Thanks to her help, his condition stabilized. We will continue therapy and work on finding the right treatment that will help him adapt socially and eventually find a job, so he can feel meaningful and confident in himself. Thank you ❤️❤️‍🩹

Excelente servicio y atenciones

Forever greatful for the path they taught me to live. Helped me unlearn what I knew and taught me how to live differently than what I knew before. Put me on the right path and gave me the right tools in life so I could succeed and have an better life than what I was living.

What a fantastic way to get re introduced to living a better way of life after living life in addiction. And staff is beautiful

I went to this program a few years ago and it was the best thing that ever happened to me, I learned structure which I needed bàdly. How to make and keep friends, basic life skills, money mangement and and how to live life on life's terms. Career skills, sober living, skills needed to do it yourself, how to take care of your health. It was an amazing experience and it wasn't all fun but it was all worth it in the end.

Tri County has helped me so many ways. I couldn’t even begin to explain. They’ve helped me with rent vouchers drug classes, counseling all under grants from the state the staff is amazing. I’ve gotten close to a couple of them very genuine people most of them are, if you have a chance to get deep in this program and take advantage of all the resources that they have it can be an amazing place and can save your life like it did mine. Thank you Tri County staff.

Just call please. You life really can change.

Great meetings..AA literature..chips..ect..everything recovery.

For 80-plus years, "There Is A Solution" to the disease of Alcoholism. It works, it really does!

I just got out of here and it was probably the most humbling experience I’ve ever had. I suffer from bi-polar, depression, and anxiety. I always thought my life was over and it was the worst but the people there have it way worst. The staff and psychiatrist and social workers love their job and people I felt loved and cared for. This place also brought me back to god. I’d say the only negative is they cover the windows in most units (not mine though), and the mattress and chairs are uncomfortable. Other than those things I would highly recommend this hospital.

Was a patient here and the staff was wonderful. I definitely feel I got the help I needed.

Just went to this place in early April, they treated me so well, we were allowed to order our own food + their pillows were really comfy n the therapist was so kind!! if I ever do need some help, I hope I can come here.

Jane, thank you so much for helping me become a non smoker. It's been a successful year! I have not craved it one bit! My quality of life has improved dramatically! Thank you!

EDIT! It's been 7 Years now and still going strong!! best decision ever! ---It's been 4 years now, best decision of my life.

I agree with the other reviews -- I smoked for 57 years and quit just like that. I, too, threw my cigarettes into the dumpster behind the building -- along with my ashtray. I"m amazed and thrilled it's still working!

Friendly help therapist. Explained everything well
