Top Ranked Drug Rehab Centers In Cocoa Beach, FL

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.

i got sent to la amistad when i was 13 years old (24 now). i was inpatient for 3.5 almost 4 months and i only saw the therapist 3 times MAYBE the whole time i was there. yes we had group therapy everyday etc etc but i never truly had one on one time with the therapist or the doctor, it was very rare yet i was prescribed 4-5 pills two times a day! i truly didn’t have anxiety and food issues til coming to this facility as a teen. i vividly remember a point/level system, especially when it came to food and phone calls. i remember a girl tripping me on my 4 day in the lunch line (she just got there so she was behind me in the food line) if you talked/reacted in any way that wasn’t appealing, you lost all your progress in the level system. i was constantly stuck no higher than level 2-3 the whole time i was there. the medicine they had me on made me not want to eat anything then constantly being harassed in line didn’t help either, which prolonged my stay because i wouldn’t eat. two girls ran away awhile i was in the program, they lost a girl as they were doing my intake and nobody was allow to get outside time or in the art room for a week straight, the girls lost their minds about it to say the least because it didn’t make sense why we were all getting punished for someone else’s actions and their workers not paying attention. said girl comes back in the program pregnant and clearly detoxing off something heavy. i was a depressed angry teenager, i never made claims to take my life yet i was never allowed to have laces nor ever graduated from the first dorm room you get put in with all the new girls. i was never allowed to shower or use the toilet myself the whole 3.5 months. my first two weeks i had to sleep in the hallway, i vividly remember the set up of the dorm area. the room i stayed in was directly across from where all the PAs/techs would sit and talk loudly all night/doing blood pressure checks at the crack of dawn. i never slept which just made me more irritated and on edge. after about 3 weeks in the facility i realized a whole lot of favoritism was happening (hence the reason i never got to get put in the better rooms and a bit more freedom). the techs were putting specific girls they enjoyed in certain rooms. these said girls would all have sex in those special rooms because they didn’t do checks every 15 minutes like they did the other rooms. they have alot more time and those techs knew exactly what they were allowing to happen. girls would also play space monkey (the choking game to get high off the rush of blood going to your head). as much as they said don’t share your info with other girls in the program, we all did. i keep in contact with 3 girls i was in la amistad with. one of the girls ended up MOVING IN WITH ONE OF THE TECHS WHEN SHE WENT TO COLLEGE AT UCF! another girl ended up killing herself 4 years after we all left the program, leaving her sister a note admitting the abuse of her mother, la amistad and sandy pines. now at 24, i’ve been working on unlocking alot of trauma i’ve completed wiped out of my brain with edmr and dbt therapy. i wouldn’t have remembered any of this if it wasn’t for finding a professional that actually cares. if you’re a parent consider sending your child to this program because you don’t know what to do; i strongly recommend that you don’t. i understand i’m speaking on my behalf of what happened to me and other girls here over 9-10 years ago and the program might be completely different nowadays but from what im reading online, doesn’t seem like much has. while working with professionals on accepting and learning about my repressed trauma ive realized with the work i’ve put in this past year with edmr, that a big contribution to my debilitating anxiety is stemmed from my stay here as a preteen..that whatever i’m forcing myself to forget happened at la amistad is the reason i’ve been terrified to get help all my life. please don’t send your kid away, as much as you think a few weeks/months stay would solve issues and i can confidently say it only created more for me.

La Amistad changed my life I would recommend this place 11/10 I went to residential for 28 days followed by IOP and everything was just amazing in every way I came out a completely different person… a BETTER person.. I can never say thank you enough to their program!

Great facility and staff, I would recommend this treatment center to any friends or family that needed help.

This place literally saved my life, my therapist felt as if she was my best friend, and the staff as a whole felt like my family. The only place in Florida where you feel completely taken care of while offering confidential groups learning why we as addicts do the things we Do and where it all stems from. I've learned so much. Coming to the wellness center detoxed me slowly, and taught me lessons I won't ever forget. If you're not ready To quit, the wellness center will help build that willingness to quit. I owe my everything to this amazing place

3 months after getting out of a 30 day treatment center I bounced around from detox to halfway searching for a place that would be conducive to my recovery. I finally found a place where I feel I can progress and achieve real sobriety. Their program is excellent and I like the unique structure of the program. The facilities are top notch and staff is the best I've encountered. The staff truly cares, they dont just want your insurance money. Sal and house manager John are two of the most wonderful people I have met, and the fact that they work here is a blessing. This is the exact place I have been searching for to allow me to build a strong foundation for recovery and I can see myself achieving long term sobriety through this program.

I’ve consistently seen how dedicated this program is to providing thoughtful, client-centered mental health care. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Erica Rigsby in the field and she is a wonderful example of when true passion and compassion combine. Highly recommend this program for anyone!

I completed this program thanks to the nursing staff, Counselor Amber, Counselor Eliana, BHT Greg, and all the other dedicated hard workers here. The cleaning staff stole my sweatpants and T- shirt, that I was not too happy about. I enjoyed this program and it had a lot to offer.

This place is good. Shout out Josiah the head chef he makes really good food. Breakfast is good everything is. The therapist are good. This place really teaches more about science, the right side and left side of the brain. All the staff treated me well.

Its a nice facility, medical care is a little messed up but besides that its a wonderful place and campus 😊. They may change you're meds doses or just flat out not give you them a lot of people have left because of that. Shelly the clinical director can be a little passive aggressive and if you get on her bad side it can mess up most of you're stay here. Everyone else is wonderful Wades the best case manager and helped me with a lot and Matt my therapist is wonderful and has helped me work through a lot of issues. BRING BUG SPRAY!

my best friend was only at remedy for a month but during her stay she was consistently put through trauma and turmoil everyday some of which would include staff verbally berating her or bullying her to being denied the proper amount of calories in her diet she would also be consistently denied medication prescribed to her by her doctor because remedy didn’t allow her to take it she was also forbidden from using painkillers prescribed by her dentist after having surgery and remedy forced her to deal with the pain and only proved her tylenol for relief even after she asked for her prescribed medication. remedy also wants you to believe they’re a voluntary treatment center when in reality if you try to leave on your own terms even if you’re healthy they will do everything in their power to make you sound mentally unwell so they can baker act you remedy is not a place where you can expect to get help remedy does not care about you a they only care about your money if you want genuine help it’s in your best interest to find somewhere else.

The food is great and the counselors are amazing

From reception to discharge our son and family was treated respectfully and without judgment. As a loved one we learned a lot about addition and we felt the staff was very professional offering support and options for our son after detox. Thank you Beachside! You earned our five stars and more!

Beachside rehab saved my life. My second year of sobriety is just a few days away. I was given the tools and time that was needed to get my life back. Beautiful place.
