Worst experience of my life. I went there to kick ...

Worst experience of my life. I went there to kick a suboxone and xanax addiction. I was publicly humiliated on numerous occasions. They also did not seem to understand that after being on suboxone and xanax for 6 years i was not going to get over withdrawals in a weeks time. I repeatedly explained to them that I was still very sick and was told that's impossible, it's been 2 weeks. They had 3 2 hour group meetings every day if you did not speak they would force you in a belittling and humiliating manner. The fact that I had a great job, my own insurance and was financially independent seemed to bother them. They just could not belive I wasn't homeless living on the street. Every time I was asked about my work/home life they acted as if I was lying to them. After my therapist belittled me one too many times I said enough. He had called my parents telling them I was going to leave and I was going to use. I was finally allowed to speak to them and they said it sounded like I was being brainwashed. I then refused to go to group meetings. They then had me stand in the middle of a room with all the staff members as they belittle you once again. There is no compassion at this place. It is very militant like style which may work for some but was not the place for me. It had been 6 years since I was running the streets and I had a long time to be away from that lifestyle. I went to this place to get off the suboxone and xanax in a controlled safe environment, not to be belittled and humiliated. It's now over 3 years later and I am at the top of my career and could not be happier in my life. If I knew this place was going to be like this I would've never went past the detox phase. It's now been 3 years and 3 months since I was there and I just received a bill for 2000 dollars. This place is all about the money they tell your insurance anything to keep you there the full 90 days. I was on a medical leave from work. They were supposed to stay in touch with my employer but never did. I nearly lost my job over this. I am not trying to make excuses for my actions. I take full responsibility for all the mistakes I have made. I am not one to write reviews but this place just blew me away. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go to this place. South Florida in general is not a good place. I would think twice before sending your children here. Look up the sober (flop houses).
