My experience at Caron Ocean Drive was frustrating and ineffective from day one. They have an extremely inflexible system and set of principles which are tailored to the lowest common denominator of treatment. For $75,000 a month I was expecting to get more personalized cou ...
About Caron Ocean Drive
The program in Florida is private pay only. They do offer zero interest financing through M-Lend Financial and Prosper. You may also qualify for some financial assistance.
The first step of the program is detox where you’ll rid your body of harmful substances. Expect a comprehensive assessment and urine and blood screenings. You’ll be detoxing in a medical center, so you’ll have monitoring around the clock by physicians, nurses, and nurse practitioners, and you’ll have a case manager.
If appropriate, you’ll have medication assisted treatment (MAT) to ease withdrawal symptoms. They can also monitor you if you have additional conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or chronic pain.
After detox, you’ll start your personalized treatment plan. You’ll be assigned a primary therapist and a family therapist and begin weekly individual therapy sessions where you’ll address co occurring disorders like anxiety or depression. There is also group therapy.
There are plenty of amenities. Meals are nutritious and prepared by executive chefs, and you’ll eat in a private dining room reserved only for the people in the program. You’ll have access to a pool, gym, media room, and a personal fitness trainer. There’s also a concierge service to assist with running errands and helping you manage appointments and arrange travel.
Because addiction is a family disease, there’s a three day family workshop. You’ll have an opportunity to do some in depth work with a family member to address his or her needs while also working to improve your relationship.
After the program, there’s a custom care plan to help you with accountability, routine, and structure in recovery. There are monthly workshops to continue to explore your underlying issues and enhance your coping, intimacy, and communication skills. For an extra fee, you can have executive coaching to help you find success in your career while maintaining sobriety.

There wouldn’t be enough words I could write to describe Caron Renassance. I’ll make it short and sweet. Caron is the reason I am alive today. Caron is why I am the mother I am today. Caron is why I am still sober to this day. I just celebrated 8 years sober and a huge part of my success is Caron. This treatment center isn’t your typical one but it’s the only one that worked for me and the many others that came through the program with me. I attribute every piece of who I am today to the therapists I met at Caron. They saved my life and I can never repay them. I will forever hold a special place in my heart for Caron.

Nicole, thank you so much for your heartfelt words and we are truly inspired by your continued strength and sobriety. At Caron Renaissance, we are committed to providing individualized, compassionate care, and it means the world to know our team made a lasting impact. While we can’t comment on anyone’s care specifically, please know how grateful we are for your trust and kind reflections. Congratulations on your continued recovery — we celebrate this milestone with you!
When I arrived at Caron, I was a complete mess. I didn’t want to be there. I thought I didn’t need treatment. I thought I could white knuckle my way through my issues. I thought I wasn’t as sick as everyone else. After kicking and screaming and holding on to my ego for dear life, my therapist Hillary got through to me and I surrendered. I accepted the help. I got over myself. I stopped trying to leave. Turns out, I am not special or unique. This disease does not discriminate, and there is no shame in needing help. Caron has given me the tools, the community, and the resources to not only get healthy, but to STAY healthy. They pushed me and challenged me and did not coddle me. It was hands down the hardest thing I have ever done, and it was worth every single second. Without Caron, I’m not sure I would be here. As morbid as that sounds, it’s the truth of this disease. My family and I have grown so much and are forever grateful to Caron and would recommend their care to anyone who is struggling with addiction.

HI Alison, we appreciate you for sharing your positive experience at Caron Florida. It is our mission to transform lives that are impacted by addiction and substance use, ensuring that our patients and their families are treated with the respect that they deserve. If you have additional feedback then please contact us at caroncares@caron.org.
Disappointed for several reasons mentioned below.
There are no real individualized plans. They use/apply the same blueprint for each patient - whether you're 20 years old or 60 years old; whether a 30-year drug addict or a 2-year alcoholic; whether you have a strong support system or can never go back to where you come from. And based on the blueprint they will keep trying to "extend your stay" without giving you a written reason why. It's because the "clinical team" doesn't put it in writing, it's just a verbal conversation amongst the "clinicians."
Sure, they give you a "treatment plan" document that is supposed to be what you are supposed to work on, and those can be different from others, but it is still a cut/paste plan.
Some of the therapists are good and seem to really care. Unfortunately, they have to operate in the world of Caron, whose approach inhibits good/lasting therapy.
Several specialty groups (ex. Grief and Loss; Trauma; Anger) get canceled regularly because the assigned therapist is just not there. Instead of a fill-in for THAT group, the patients are split up into other "process groups." Additionally, there is no consistency in which therapist you will see in your group. So you see multiple therapists, with different patients, each and every day.
Finally, you end up feeling like a statistic/number/$$$ and not a whole person who is cared for.
No wonder there has been a turnover of management and therapists recently.
*Note: 70 years of experience as an organization isn’t an indicator of what “works.” And I find that statement arrogant and dismissive (but on par for Caron FL)
* While they cannot confirm or deny that I was there... I can confirm. Therapists, Emma and Ralph, told me I would DIE if I left when I did. But here I am, alive and well a year later. That's not great therapeutic advice in my opinion. Additionally, therapist Ralph, who knew my brother completed suicide used a gesture of gun to the head in a joking manner during a group session. I found that amongst all other things insensitive and not looking out for the well being of clients/residents ($$$) whatever they want to call us.

Hi Peter, While we cannot confirm nor deny if individuals partake in treatment at any Caron facility, what can be shared is that Caron has nearly 70 years of experience which means our treatment works. Our programs and services are ever-evolving, which includes the evolution of our leaders and our staff. Caron’ Florida location is in Boca Raton, Florida, and focuses on taking patients from unhealthy dependency to interdependency and stability. We provide a clinically intensive, individualized approach to handling substance use disorder by uncovering the underlying issues and treating them simultaneously. This goes beyond the traditional substances and can include things like digital addiction, eating, gambling, and sex addiction too. Treating these complex, interrelated, and underlying factors behind substance use or process-driven disorders is the goal of Caron.

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.
Financing your treatment can make treatment more accessible. You'll work with your care provider to set up payment plans, including interest rates and repayment timelines. Financing options vary widely and not all programs offer them, so be sure to get the full details before enrolling in treatment. If you have insurance or other benefits, financing may help you cover your remaining out of pocket expenses.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
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. Caron's full-time, on-site, highly credentialed staff and dynamic, comprehensive inpatient rehab programs meet people where they are. Whether a patient needs residential assessment, detox, inpatient addiction treatment, or long-term recovery support, they are careful to address individualized needs and circumstances.
Aftercare Support
Rehab aftercare programs are a collection of highly individualized services designed to promote long-term recovery. These services evolve as your needs change. Case managers and recovery teams typically begin formulating the rehab aftercare service plan early in the recovery process to facilitate your reintegration back into the home, workplace, and community.
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).
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.
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. At Caron Pennsylvania, patients undergo detox in an on-site, self-contained detoxification unit. Caron Renaissance is not an acute care facility and therefore does not offer detox services on site; however, they can arrange for transfers from hospitals and other healthcare centers once patients have finished detoxing.
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.
Intensive Outpatient
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) involve frequent and robust therapeutic sessions for clients requiring high-level care. Clients may engage in a combination of medication assisted treatment (MAT), addiction counseling, recovery skills training, and holistic therapies for a minimum of nine and a maximum of 20 hours per week. Intensive outpatient rehab is designed primarily for persons in early recovery, those exiting detox or inpatient care, and those at an elevated relapse risk.
Outpatient
Outpatient rehabs encompass multiple levels of care to facilitate clients' progress through their recovery journey. Clients who are stepping down from inpatient treatment may require intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment, which involves more frequent and substantive therapeutic interventions than does standard outpatient care. Outpatient centers typically provide extensive addiction counseling, including individual, group, and family therapy. Medication assisted treatment programs (MAT) and recovery-focused life skills training are also common in outpatient care.
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.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
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.
In Florida, substance abuse treatment focuses on treating mental health and substance use disorders concurrently to improve recovery outcomes and overall health. Levels of care include medical detox, outpatient, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient programs. Clinicians utilize evidence-based therapies such as dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) or medication-assisted treatment, group therapy, and skills training activities. This comprehensive approach to treatment helps to ensure sustained recovery.
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.
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
Clinical Services
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.
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.
During couples therapy in Florida, your therapist will take steps to get to know you, help you identify feelings, explore the past, develop solutions, and help you learn skills to manage relationship challenges. This process will allow you to work through conflict and strengthen your relationship.
Eye Movement Desensitization And ReprocessingAddiction and behavioral health issues affect persons with substance abuse problems and their loved ones. They understand that the families of addicts are deeply affected. Family members want to help their loved one, but the situation is delicate. Sometimes, the addiction becomes the family’s focus, throwing it into chaos. Addiction to drugs and alcohol inevitably leads to pain, confusion, and sadness. At Caron, they believe the patient is the family, and the family is the patient. In other words, they believe it’s crucial (and in some cases required) for the family to be engaged in holistic rehabilitation from the very beginning of the pre-admission process. They bring family members into the admission and assessment process from the start, so that their input can form the basis for a personalized addiction treatment plan. At Caron Renaissance, they pair new families with an alumni family “buddy” who can provide support, answer questions, and share experiences.
Recreational therapy helps you recover from addiction by giving you structured activities that promote your physical health and mental well being. These activities could range from sports and fitness to creative arts and provide a constructive outlet for your emotions and stress.
Therapists who apply cognitive behavioral therapy in Florida believe patient thoughts and behaviors are closely linked. They use this treatment method to help clients change their thought patterns so they can also change behaviors and break free from substance abuse.
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.
As a short term therapeutic method, motivational interviewing in Florida requires only a couple of sessions. During these sessions, you'll have the opportunity to talk about your circumstances and any discrepancies between your current situation and future goals. You'll then decide for yourself what changes you want to make.
