About Beach House Center for Recovery
Voted by Newsweek as Florida’s Best Addiction Treatment Center in 2022, Beach House Center for Recovery offers a wide array of services for anyone seeking recovery from drug or alcohol addictions. They are located in Juno Beach, Florida, and offer several levels of care on their beautiful campus that’s one mile from the Juno Beach coastline. This modern residency offers residential treatment as well as partial hospitalization care, giving their clients some flexibility based on their schedule and work or school obligations. They also offer detox with medication assisted treatment if you find that your addiction is so severe that you need professional assistance. Detoxing on your own can sometimes be dangerous, and medication assisted treatment can help lessen those uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms and cravings, giving you a much better and easier chance at recovery.
This clinic also offers dual diagnosis care, meaning they treat co-occurring mental health conditions that are related to your addiction, and perhaps even fueling your addiction. Many times, mental health issues such as depression and anxiety can go hand-in-hand with substance abuse issues. That is why dual diagnosis centers are such a huge plus.
When it comes to their counseling services, they offer individual counseling and group counseling, as well as skill building classes and access to 12 Step recovery programs. They also have some more holistic options for treatment, such as sunrise beach meditations. Individual counseling will put you in conversation with a professional therapist who can help you find coping strategies and identify triggers. There is plenty to benefit from at this beautiful rehab center.

Everything they will tell you they offer is unavailable. The pool Is shut down ,there's no bio-bed, groups are frivolous and you will not receive proper mental health care. The showers are disgusting, they they never give you a straight answer to your questions, 5 hours of TV and nothing else to do but sit outside . Don't come here if your looking for quality.this place violates client rights every day ... They seriously need to be investigated. I also heard Melissa,the clinical director, berating me to my therapist saying I wanted to leave there to go get intoxicated .....I was sitting right next to my therapist when she said it. 4 people A M.A'd in one day and more left the days following. This place is a joke .. I'm in PHP doing great now with full access to my child and much better environment. Go there if you want but it will not be an experience worth remembering or talking about. .I've started a process that will ,I pray, benefit the people after me.What I've stated about Melissa,the clinical director,is not a claim,it's a fact . I was sitting right next to Mark when she said all I wanted to do was go get drunk and I expressed directly to Melissa that I heard what she said.Edit: I spoke with Heather today and she said that I posted this review and that it was negative. I told her this review is based on a 100% honest experience that I had while there. They asked me how could they make things better and I told them that's something they need to ask the people there as a collective and find out what the issues are because it isn't just me and even techs that work there have mentioned that all clients feel the same as I do. So,if the entire population there feels as I do,there's a serious problem. There is a reason why this place has under a 4 star rating and most likely still going down. Choose better than beach house . People need to start making claims with their insurance and the BBB and DCF.

We re sorry to hear of your less-than-satisfactory experience and hope you will accept our sincerest apologies. We take all feedback seriously and would like to address your concerns directly. While some of the services you mentioned may not have been available at the time due to maintenance or scheduling, the majority of amenities advertised are active and regularly used by clients. Any temporary closures, such as the pool, are done for safety and are clearly communicated to clients. Group therapy is led by licensed professionals and designed around clinical needs. While not every group resonates with every client, we strive to maintain a diverse and supportive curriculum. Our facility is cleaned and maintained daily, and any housekeeping concerns can and should be reported for immediate resolution. Regarding our clinical team, our leadership Melissa included follows ethical standards and professional guidelines at all times. We are surprised by your claim, and we would appreciate the opportunity to discuss it further with you. Leaving against medical advice (AMA) is not uncommon in treatment settings, especially when individuals are struggling with early recovery. We work hard to engage those clients and encourage them to stay for their own well-being, but ultimately the decision is theirs. We re glad to hear you re doing well in PHP and wish you continued success in your recovery. If you'd like to speak further about your experience or clarify any of your concerns, please call us at 561-396-2656.
I don t like leaving negative reviews. I ve unfortunately been to a few rehabs in the past year.First off my room was like 50 degrees for 9 days and no one cared. Suck it up I guess. I touched my cell phone for 15 minutes in 9 days. People have families and responsibilities.I went there for 25 days last year. Good people as far as patients and staff. Everything else was not great. Well food is good . Now they accept like every insurance and the crowd is not great.The therapy and groups compared to other locations is awful. Like they printed papers off the internet that morning, and make it weird especially you have anxiety. Too many people per group too.Too many people and not enough therapists and doctor access. Psychiatrist, forget it. All the things they advertise broken. If you want acupuncture, massage, chiropractor, better hope insurance covers. Otherwise Now the meat. I was told insurance covered on the phone before I arrived and I have never paid for rehab. So I showed up. A few days in I was told $47 a day copay. Ok I ll deal with it. Then after 9 days I was allowed to touch my phone for 15 minutes. Checked my bank account. An insane bill on my credit card.They then explained it s $250 a day plus $47. Told I was explained that already. I pay attention. I was not.I tried to leave starting at 9 am and was harassed with passive aggressive behavior and delay tactics by their clinical director all day. I had to threaten police interaction to leave.I didn t get to leave until 8pm or so. Stay far away from them! There are much better places. I ve toured their PHP too. Don t!Don t get me wrong most staff is amazing. I think it s management.

We re glad to hear you found our staff and food to be positive aspects of your stay. Our team works hard to support our clients throughout their recovery journey. That said, we re sorry to hear of your less-than-satisfactory experience and hope you will accept our sincerest apologies. We would like to address several of your concerns and clarify how we operate. Our facility is temperature-controlled, and any maintenance or comfort concerns reported by clients are typically addressed promptly. We encourage all clients to advocate for their needs and bring such issues to staff so they can be resolved in real time. Regarding phone access, our policy limits usage during the detox and residential phases to help clients disconnect from outside distractions and focus on healing. These limits are communicated at admission and are standard in many treatment programs. We do offer a wide range of therapeutic groups and activities. Group content is curated and facilitated by licensed professionals and adjusted based on clinical need. While every client s experience is different, we take pride in the quality of our therapeutic services and are consistently reviewing and improving our curriculum based on feedback. As is the case in many facilities, access to psychiatrists and therapists is scheduled according to treatment plans. No program can offer unlimited one-on-one sessions, but we make every effort to ensure clients receive adequate support. Massage, acupuncture, and chiropractic care are available as supplemental services. As with any medical service, insurance coverage varies. We are always transparent about this and offer clients the choice to participate. We d like to address your billing concerns as well. Every client goes through a financial intake where insurance coverage, potential co-pays, and out-of-pocket expenses are explained. We document these conversations. While we understand billing can be confusing, we make every effort to clarify financial responsibilities up front. If you feel something was not properly communicated, we invite you to contact our Billing Department directly at 561-337-3200 x2299 so we can look into it further. With regard to your discharge, we never hold anyone against their will. When a client wishes to leave, we follow a clinical process to ensure it s a safe and informed decision. That includes conversations with therapists, peers, and family when possible. This is not a delay tactic it s a life-saving measure. We are proud of the work we do and the many lives changed here. We understand not every facility is the right fit for every individual, but our ratio of positive reviews and long-term success stories speaks to the overall quality of care provided at Beach House. We d welcome the opportunity to discuss your experience further. Please give us a call at 561-396-2656. We wish you the best on your continued path to recovery.
My experience was absolutely terrible. First of all don t let the name fool you. You are across A1A from the beachside so there is no way to go to the beach. When you check in they take your phone and all your ID. You are not allowed to make any calls without permission from a therapist and there is always someone right next to you listening. There was a woman who was mentally ill and dangerous that was in my building and she would go into peoples rooms in the middle of the night. There were no locks on the doors so it wasn t very restful. They finally threw her out when she attacked one of their workers. There are a lot people who have been in prison I actually felt like I was going to be physically attacked by a man in a class because he didn t like something I said. The plan they provide you for aftercare is them googling a therapist or AA group in your area and giving that to you. Therapy at most is about 10 minutes a day. It was an unsafe environment where I felt the staff got off on telling you that you can t watch tv or make a call. I left early due to safety concerns and quite frankly they didn t care.

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Medically Assisted Detox Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
Intensive Outpatient Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
Inpatient Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
Aftercare Support Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Intervention Services Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
12-Step 12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Partial Hospitalization Program Often referred to as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers an intensive treatment option that allows individuals to return home at night. PHP treatment typically requires a minimum of 20 hours a week for an average of 90 days. Participants attend daily therapeutic sessions, receive medication management, and have access to skilled medical professionals. While costs can vary, most insurance will fully or partially cover a partial hospitalization program.
24-Hour Clinical Care 24-hour clinical care in Florida is an essential part of treatment, particularly with medical detox. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe, and supervised detox provides around the clock access to medical professionals who can adminsiter proper medications and treatment to address these symptoms and step in should an emergency occur. This intensive clinical care will help curb the withdrawal effects, minimize substance dependence, and prepare you for the next step of treatment.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome dependency related to a wide range of addictive substances. Programs address both the physical and mental aspects of addiction in order to help you make a full recovery.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
Dialectical behavior therapy in Florida consists of individual therapy and group instruction. This structured program is a form of psychotherapy that incorporates the development of skills for managing emotions and relationships.
