Top Ranked Drug Rehab Centers In Fernandina Beach, FL

Great customer service 💯

Cynthia Clark is really helpful therapist---Breanna and Emmanuel good for med management/Psychiatry. I have been a patient for 15 years and they have helped me to see that I am not my diagnosis, but I do have a diagnosis. My dad and I didn't want to believe that I was severely mentally ill at first, but the more I accepted my illness as reality and my new normal, the more that the Drs and counselors are able to help me live a better quality life and still function as normally as possible. I see my diagnosis as a blessing in that it helps me to learn more about myself and in the process, help other people going through the same thing. Sometimes healing is a process and does not happen instantly, but I am able to cope better with all of the tools and support that I am receiving from family, friends and medical staff. God bless ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏💕💕

Our family has been blessed by the caring and support provided by Starting Point Behavioral Healthcare, especially at the Fernandina Beach office. Thanks for all your support. Sincerely, Paul

It works if you work it. I'm new to the island and and enjoy every meeting and like feeling welcomed as a newcomer...

Great meeting hall with relaxed vibe and very nice fellowship.

My grandson go their 2 times a week. He always say its better now, I like the lady that always call to remind to come. She is so nice, she always say look forward to seeing you. She been there about 4 months, my daughter like when she come there see talk to her, She seems so nice and kind. Thank you.

I want to say Thank You so very much to the Staff and everyone at the Northside location, they are so Awesome and Amazing

Professional, clean environment, the service that was provided to my child was very exceptional. As a parent or guardian they make you feel very much involved.

These people saved me, my family, and restored my faith in treatment. From Day 1 Salvatore Fuentes and the SLA program welcomed me and understood me. They never judged me or made me feel inadequate. The have created a healthy environment for recovery. I Highly recommend this program to anyone ready to make a change for themselves or a loved one. You will not be disappointed. It works if you work it!! Thanks Sal and Sober Living America.

Sober Living America changed everything for me. When I arrived, I was a shell of the person I used to be—exhausted, broken, and drowning in addiction. I had burned bridges, lost trust, and couldn’t see a future beyond the next fix. I didn’t walk through those doors with hope. I walked in with desperation. But they saw something in me I couldn’t see in myself. From day one, the staff treated me not like a problem to be solved, but like a person worth saving. They didn’t just offer me a bed—they offered me dignity. Structure. Accountability. A community that didn’t flinch at my past, but stood beside me as I built a future. I learned how to show up for myself. How to work again. How to forgive. How to breathe without guilt. They helped me find a job, taught me life skills, and gave me the emotional support I didn’t even know I needed. I cried more in those first few weeks than I had in years—not from pain, but from the overwhelming realization that I was finally safe. Today, I wake up clean. I wake up proud. I wake up with purpose. Sober Living America didn’t just help me get sober—they helped me remember who I am. And for that, I’ll be forever grateful.

I am an addict alcoholic... I came to sober living America in Jacksonville to get sober and stay sober... This facility is very nice... Is it 12 step affiliated, the director guest services are very pleasant. They take you to 12-step meetings, have a curriculum, and a network with multiple sources to get you a job, and on your feet and allow you to get a sponsor works the steps and hopefully back into a position to become a positive member of the society. You don't have to have a job when you come here they will get me one. As far as me, I am disabled they took me in anyway you must have disability or some form of income... Five stars all day long as far as I'm concerned.

I like this place cause and I still have service with them and I make good friends along the way

Great Staff

Gateway has saved my life with the shelter plus care . Giving me stability. I started with group therapy as well as individual. I have been stable in my own home for 7 years now. What a blessing it is to have the people with the patience and dedication to helping people with major mental health and drug issues. Thank you gateway.

Would recommend to anyone serious about getting sober.

This place has changed both myself and my wife I can’t thank you enough love the staff and doctor we are forever grateful for getting our lives back I highly recommend anyone seeking help

After 20 years of attempting to fight a seemingly losing battle, the Recovery Keys program made it possible for me to finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. This program saved and changed my life.

Don’t listen to the other reviews MHRC is a great place. The staff are super friendly. They’re great at de-escalating situations and keeping problems to a minimum they understand different kinds of people and they understand how to talk to people. They’re very good at recognizing how you feel in that moment And they know exactly what to say. Everybody is human we all messed up so we can’t expect the staff to be perfect but I will say they are definitely in my top 10 cause I’ve been to a few since I was a child And trust me I’ve been to some bad ones, but MRC is definitely like 4 Especially with the audition of Miss Allison, she’s been Taking care of me since I was like 16 And their doctors & Techs They’re great. I don’t know man I might just be high LOL But I’m leaving for Oregon to do job course soon And I truly believe that if MHRC had Not saved my life in the way they did. I would not be here. I would not be in this situation. I would not be prospering the way I am right now so please If you are considering inpatient outpatient, whatever take me to consideration that their staff is extremely friend And remember everybody’s human, but they do a great job at what they’re supposed to do God bless

MHRC is always here to give me perspective that I don't have. Being a Frog at the bottom of a well isn't for everyone. I'm only giving it 4 stars because my provider needs a pay/benifit raise. 😇

This by far has been the best place I've been. I spoke to a very sweet lady named Tatyanna and she genuinely cared about what was going on. We talked like we knew each other during the intake form and she showed me the right path to good mental health

I love the whole team and my kids enjoy all them the good with working with my family times and days we have work and school they are sweet

3 of my kids go to their pediatric department. I would give this place 5 stars if it was only based on how warm, welcoming, and wonderful everyone is. All 3 kids see Jen and she is amazing. Miss Erica and Miss Jackie are wonderful case managers. Dr Lepely and his team are very nice. He has ensured my kids have everything they need, even when we have had to make adjustments he knew just what to do. Now for the negatives… The wait time to see the doctor is pretty extreme. They schedule everyone for one like.. 3-4 hour time slot. It’s first come first served and there are always 30+ people waiting. I know not everyone has time to wait like that and it confuses me why they do it. It has been especially hard with 2 adhd girls who are being seen for behavioral issues 😓 I am just lucky I have had the time to wait on days like those. Some times we are there for 30 minutes, other times we are there for hours. I tried to get in to see them, myself, and after months of not having a therapist or doctor, I just had to go find a new one(I dropped my providers to see theirs). I did meet with the case manager and we also spoke over the phone a few months later. I mentioned I hadn’t been assigned anyone yet and nothing changed so I moved on. All in all, the care here is positive. With some ironing out of their scheduling and staffing issues I think this facility would be a whole five stars.

I love the staff and my doctor especially miss Nancy and Sharonda

Lisa hill is a expert in helping people in such a human way!

It is a methadone treatment center I'm sure it has helped everyone some faster than others

Methadone clinic

Had to experience some help, from MHRC ,they were very nice, professional ,courteous, throughout the time .

Very good staff caring.

Sonja Mack is a wonderful cook and is a well mannered Chief.

I was there in 9th 10th grade. My transcript was lost so I was sent back to 9th instead of continuing to 11th. You have to pee is a 5 gallon bucket in front of others. I watched a nurse run to avoid being asked for help. I was cut off from family communication after being transferred from the Brookesville location and no one knew where I was for months. Girls beat on eachother and the chiefs, there were roaches scorpions and mice galore. I was in the best possible group in floral city and it was still hell.

Absolutely amazing!

I'm writing this review because me and my family have received an amazing gift Having recently moved to Interlochen with my four children from the devistation of pinnellas county it was a welcome journey to say the least. One of the things to be done was to get a new doctor and supporting staff with the VA in Palatka Florida. Physical, blood work and refills for my blood pressure. Meeting Tamara was the amazing gift. She navigated me smoothly thru the whole " new person in town " process. There was also an income update form which made me nervous being retired. I also felt like Tamara absolutely cared for me. I really need my benefits and with the increases in everything the SERVICE AND HONOR that people like Tamara show us veterans are more precious than any materialistic thing. God bless and protect you and your families every one. In behalf of all us veterans we thank you Tamara. Sincerely, Richard

Excellent program and caring staff.

Avoid BoardPrep Recovery if you can help it. There are a lot of other more professional and experienced rehab centers for healthcare professionals. The experience I had over more than three months was subpar to say the least. It's hard to even call this place a rehabilitation center. The Hardens (John and Elizabeth) who run the place you'll never see in person while you are there. If you are a physician referred by a PHP or other state physician health program like South Carolina RPP, they will most likely keep you over 90 days regardless of what they tell you from the beginning. Expect a lack of transparency and inadequate programming. The cost is $17k/month, which is cheaper than other rehabs. They do not provide food though they do provide housing. You sit in sessions from 8-2:30pm every day that are taught by barely competent therapists who often have you read aloud from printouts. They scratch the surface of topics like DBT/CBT/recovery. They have basically two therapists who run your sessions with occasional visiting lecturers who spitball topics in recovery. I found most of these sessions useless. You have weekly "art therapy" where you draw on paper with markers and do meditation sessions to start out your mornings. You have a once a week therapy session with your assigned counselor who projects on you what they think your problem is from the start. The staff don't prepare much for your sessions, and you sit in the same room everyday with a small group of men/women between 8-20 people. You have to rely on fellow rehab clients for transportation since the living quarters aren't close enough to the center or "coaches" that they employ. They take your technology/phone away for the first 1-2 weeks then give it back which is better than other places. You attend daily AA or NA meetings in the evenings in the area and have a little time to workout if they let you between 3pm and 6pm. You don't have much to do on the weekends except go to meetings and volunteer in the morning on Sunday at a soup kitchen for the homeless. They drug test you weekly randomly then charge you for it later. You see a psychiatrist and a NP once a week who gaslight you about discharge dates. When you leave, you typically have to do a weekly remote alumni zoom meeting for which they charge you $200/month. They take forever to draft your reports and drag their feet during discharge. The discharge process is disorganized and often involves extending your time there. They get angry when you try to get specifics. When you are ready to go it's often with a few days notice leading to expensive last minute travel plans. You fortunately get your own room in the living quarters which is nice, and they do inspect your room/count your pills regularly which is typical of rehabs. They will want you off of any controlled substance even if it is prescribed by your doctor. People got in trouble for having legally prescribed benzos or stimulants. If you test positive for alcohol when you arrive (either breathalyzer or Peth), they put you on a withdrawal protocol with benzos which is poorly monitored and often not evidence based (using a CIWA scale for instance). In summary, there is a pattern of poor programming, poor communication and just poor quality at BoardPrep. It is hard for me to see how any of the reviews are positive.
