I came to recreate to separate myself from me and my drug of choice and wound up learning more about myself and gaining a family that I can always reach out to in my time of need I am forever grateful. Specifically to Katie ,Brooke, Rigel and my main man Peter. I can't say enough good things about the techs Morris ,Kai ,Shanika, Lamar and of course I can't forget Miss Tamika and Dean. And a big shout out to my man Buddy and Joe.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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).

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.

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).

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient programs 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. The Intensive Outpatient Program gives patients the chance to participate in a structured treatment plan part-time while they transition back to home and work or other responsibilities.

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

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

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.

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.

Clinical Services

Individual therapy often includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This is a structured approach to identifying and changing negative thought patterns. During therapy you learn how what you think drives your actions so you can develop healthier coping strategies to manage addiction triggers and reduce drug use.

Group therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for people in Florida who are struggling with drug addiction. There you can openly discuss the challenges and progress you're making without fear of judgment from your peers who experience many of the same things you are.

I attended ReCreate in October 2024 at one of the lowest points in my life. While the direct care staff was exceptional, the leadership, clinical oversight, and medication management left much to be desired. Strengths: Dedicated Staff & Supportive Atmosphere The group facilitators and BHTs work tirelessly, offering genuine support and understanding. They see you, they care, and they make a real impact. On a staff level, ReCreate fosters a strong sense of community and healing. The turnover rate is high due to the effortful but unrecognized work the BHT’s do. The Directors of Alumni are incredible people who will provide and inspire so much change. Concerns: Management & Clinical Failures However, issues at the administrative and clinical levels overshadowed my experience: • Unaddressed misconduct – Male staff members made inappropriate comments about my personal life and marriage, yet no immediate action was taken by Director of Operations, Melissa Manzone. • Medication mismanagement – Over my five-week stay, my medication was inconsistently provided, leading to withdrawal symptoms. At one point, I was prescribed two SSRIs at once, triggering severe side effects, including panic attacks, dizziness, tunnel vision, and catatonia. • Therapist misconduct – My primary therapist, Katie, dismissed my symptoms, cursed at me, and accused me of faking my condition to extend my stay. Instead of advocating for my health, she belittled me, argued with me for hours which caused a disruption to group scheduling, and used my past trauma against me in a way that was both unethical and deeply harmful. Many staff members and clients witnessed or heard about her behavior and were outraged, yet no corrective action was taken. After being told by Katie, that she was the only person who would treat me like an adult and hold me to degree I deserved, I blamed myself. I cried, apologized, and wrote her a letter, thanking her. I fawned, and if I could go back I would have stood up for myself. After having seen a therapist following ReCreate, she helped open my eyes to the abuse of power, unprofessionalism, and misconduct. My therapist and I have worked together to remove my self blame and instead advocate for myself. After fighting for a one-week extension to stabilize my medication, and having gone to the ER, I was ultimately approved—proving my concerns were valid. ReCreate excels in substance recovery and is staffed with many incredible individuals who truly care. However, for those seeking mental health treatment, the lack of clinical oversight, poor medication management, and leadership failures, should give pause to those seeking treatment. I share this not out of resentment, but as a cautionary reflection—because mental health care should never leave patients feeling unheard, mistreated, or unsafe.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We deeply value your feedback—both the positive and the difficult to hear—as it helps us grow and better serve those who come to ReCreate for help. We're truly grateful for your kind words about our direct care staff, BHTs, and alumni team. It means a lot to know their compassion and commitment made a difference during your time here. At the same time, we want to sincerely apologize for the distress you experienced related to clinical oversight, medication management, and your therapeutic care. These concerns are taken very seriously. What you described does not align with the standard of care we strive to uphold. We’re actively reviewing the issues raised to ensure accountability and improvement moving forward. We’re especially sorry that your concerns did not feel heard in the moment. No one seeking support should ever feel dismissed, unsafe, or unsupported in their healing process. Your courage in advocating for yourself—then and now—is admirable, and we respect your decision to speak up. Please know that we are committed to learning from your experience and taking the necessary steps to improve how we support every client’s mental health and overall well-being. If you’d be open to continuing the conversation privately, we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you further. Wishing you continued healing and strength in your recovery journey. —The ReCreate Team

A huge thank you to Emily, David, Pudge, Gabe, Rigel, Peter, Melissa, Cole, Jasmine, and every single team member who has been a part of my experience.

Dear Recreate and people interested in getting clean and sober: Recreate could not have been a better or greater experience, and will always and forever have a place in my heart and mind. It will, for as long as I live be a fond fond memory.. for the quality experience, for the comfort and fun had, for the many caring individuals I met there. I couldn’t have been at a better place or surrounded by better people! Staff and clients alike! They were all so welcoming and ready to cheer you up should your day be a tiny bit off. The techs were everything they could be and more..compassionate, great at listening, real and personable, know what they talk of.. and are well informed regarding notes in the computer system.. but above all they are nice, and private and professional. A great plus..is that..probably about 97 or 98% of the staff.. have been where we were or are..and know the ropes and what is is all like and all about. All of them were chock-a-block full of good wisdom and advice should you want or need it. The other therapists were absolutely great, and my therapist, Katie.. was wonderful.. quite intuitive and ready to be flexible.. she’s kind and an A-1 listener too! Listening well and then asking crucially accurate questions, ones that are quite revelatory and at just the right strength of thinking. They are very careful to do your paperwork properly too..as some places don’t, and just rush through it. They take the time to get it right. They are great at accommodating you and your needs.. especially should you have forgotten something or don’t even have it in the first place. I wouldn’t have gotten sober at any place mimicking the greatness of this place.. only here. I feel safe here and unfortunately cannot return unless on the other side of matters. The place is, also, as far as I can see.. without a blemish of corruption like you may get elsewhere. The group facilitators are well qualified, Lindsay in particular, and are interesting, fascinating and actually care.. rarely did I find any reason to be bored or tired. My medical concerns were addressed promptly, with all care, and accurately. Eleycia, case manager.. was very knowledgeable and helpful. The alumni coordinators are so nice and know what they are talking about when it comes to meeting the real world again. They keep in great touch. Their alumni is so great and clean and the only alumni I’d ever want to be part of. I got such an education here and a residency beyond all I could have asked! Do yourself a favor and if you are struggling, give recreate a call! It was a blessing of blessings!! Thank you all so much surpassing any ability of mine to vocalize it! Recreate is that place!! Few other places are worthy of as much of your respect, and respecting of you as-well. I will miss all of you so intensely.. keep being you and what you are! You are actually helping people and actually care.. thank you all ever so much!!!! Thanks and blessings, Rico.

Wow Rico, thank you for your incredible 5 star review of Recreate Life Counseling! We are so grateful your experience was one worthy of such a stellar review. We are proud of all you have accomplished and are wishing you well as you continue to walk the path of recovery. Please engage with alumni staff and stop by our alumni meetings and events!

Recreate life counseling has been a life changing experience for me, the staff has created a personal connection with clients that past just collecting a paycheck. They genuinely make sure every client has what they need and will go out of there way to make sure there needs are met. The groups and therapist thoroughly make treatment that fit each clients needs to ensure Authentic and genuine results. Night staff like Jacob and Carissa and especially jasmine go about and beyond to make sure we’re comfortable and content. Thank you recreate for changing my life

Thank you so much for your 5 star review of Recreate Life Counseling, Dominic! We are so pleased to hear that you have had such a positive experience and that you felt the desire to share it with us. We wish you all the continued success moving forward in your recovery journey!
