Beachside Rehab

I am an employee at Beachside Rehab. I have over 20 years experience in this business and have worked at several treatment centers. After the bad wrap Florida treatment centers have got as of late, I can say for a fact that Beachside Rehab is one of the most caring and honest centers in Florida. In my opinion, there are not an overwhelming number of great treatment centers with their hearts in the right place. Everyone here truly cares about the patients recovery. That is the number one priority. We make sure that all of our patients get the tools necessary to live a clean and sober life. I would recommend treatment at Beachside Rehab to anyone who is struggling to lead a happy, sober life. I am very proud to be part of the Beachside Rehab family!

Beachside is a place where the staff does care and recovery is possible. I made new friends that genuinely cared about me when i no longer cared about myself. Beachside is a true family that will not give up on you and help you reach your limits. I thank you all at beachside for your unconditional love.

I was at Beachside the month of November, 2017. I am now clean for 4 months after leaving the facility. Previous to my stay I had unsuccessfully attempted to get clean for nearly 10 years. I don’t believe any other details of my stay are relevant. I paid for a rehab that would help me get clean and I walked away clean and I’m still clean. What they did for me I could not do for myself over several years. I believe the stark contrast in the content of the other reviews clearly demonstrate the black and white thinking that is characteristic of the true nature of addiction. You will notice a clear dichotomy. They are either very low or very high. Not much if anything in between. A rehab facility cannot be both horrible and outstanding at the same time. I believe the difference between positive reviews and negative reviews is most likely a reflection of the positive or negative attitudes and expectations of the people writing the review, not necessarily an accurate assessment of the rehab program itself. Am I the only one who sees the irony in people whose lives are being threatened, compromised, and essentially destroyed by drugs or alcohol aggressively criticizing the degree of luxury associated with the institution that is attempting to save their lives ? A humorous anecdote that comes to mind is someone standing on the deck of the Titanic passing up a rescue from another vessel because that vessel does not meet up to their standards. Just my opinion. We all have one.

My mother had the courage to check herself into Beachside Rehab a few weeks ago. They charged us $18,000 and kicked her out halfway though the program for requesting over the counter medications THEIR medical staff recommended. While the therapists and medical staff were compassionate and undeniably helpful, their owner, Imelda, and clinical director, Tabitha, are condescending to patients and families. In addition, they refused to provide any type of discharge information, account information, or documentation they're claiming she signed (while detoxing). They said we'd have all the paperwork within 48 hours. That was Monday at 1 p.m. We still have received no paperwork whatsoever. We are in the process of filling with local, state, and federal agencies and have discussed the case with a lawyer. Please protect yourself and loved ones by avoiding this nightmare facility. *Update: Owner keeps responding to reviews on various platforms that they'd like to discuss but refuse to return phone calls and have not provided any paperwork. A staff member has, however, left a message saying the paperwork will cost us just over $160. They require ANOTHER credit card payment before anything will be released. To anyone reading this that has attended beachside and been mistreated by their owner, clinical director, or other staff: Don't be afraid to reach out to local, state, and federal mental health agencies! Your story could save another family from similar hardship!

Update 2/5/17: A staff member at Beachside Rehab commented on this review but didn't leave an option for me to reply back. First of all, any professional knows that it is a HIPPA violation to share client information. The person who commented said that my name does not appear in their records. Thank God I used my nickname to write this review or they may have exposed my identity for sure! I am here to acknowledge that my review is 100% true and accurate. I was once a client here. The manager Karen is unprofessional and curses like a sailor. She treats her staff poorly. She cursed out a tech in front of me and another client. We even heard her say F*** THIS PLACE to a staff member. The best part of being at this place was being back at the house away from the clinical staff. The therapist need to go back to school or catch up to modern times because her approach is outdated and ineffective! Original Review: One thing I learned from this place is that a pricier program is not necessarily a better program. I am very disappointed in the way Beachside Rehab is run. The therapists used outdated and sometimes harmful techniques. 7 days a weeks, several hours a day there was group or watching videos or lectures. There's a lot of pressure to emphasize very personal information in group, a lot of pressure to disclose secrets. The problem is the lack of an individualized approach and not recognizing that everyone doesn't belong in a group. I paid for an experience that would be tailored to my individual needs but the whole entire time they followed a one size fits all model. Beachside Rehab made me feel like my money was more important to them than my recovery. I don't think there is any real evidence-based treatment offered here. They will tell you anything to get you through the door. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. They need a whole new team of well-schooled professionals or this place will soon plummet.
