ABOUT A ROAD TO RECOVERY
A Road to Recovery (ARTR) is an adult treatment facility located in Port St. Lucie, Fla., just north of West Palm Beach. Our facility offers residential and outpatient treatment services based on the 12-Steps. We have on-site detoxification services and provide support for co-occurring disorders.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Upon admission, all clients receive a medical evaluation, physical assessment, and medication review. The core residential program has an average duration of 28 days and includes group and individual therapy, recreational activities, and educational courses on anger management, life skills, and relapse prevention. Our therapy approaches include the 12-Steps, motivational therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and craving or urge minimization. Massage therapy is also available.
ARTR offers regular weekly family programming and client outings such as visits to the beach, bowling, movies, and off-site 12-step meetings. Our outpatient program focuses on relapse prevention, spirituality and meditation, resume building, job searching, and provides yoga instruction and medication management with a psychiatrist.
Graduates of our programs are encouraged to attend weekly alumni meetings.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
ARTR has a CEO with over 30 years of experience in clinical treatment. Our staff also includes a psychiatrist, a licensed clinical social worker, a licensed mental health counselor, and various support staff.
ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES
Our facility provides a setting similar to a college campus rather than a standard institutional environment. Clients in the 44-bed residential program reside in supervised two-bedroom apartments (private rooms are available) and handle their own cooking, cleaning, and grocery shopping. Other amenities include patios, a fitness center, and a swimming pool.
WHAT ALUMNI SAY
All reviews from the 12 alumni surveyed by Best-rehabs.com at the time of this writing were generally positive. Several alumni described the “solid treatment” and the caring and helpful staff. On a scale of 1 to 5, five alumni rated the staff’s level of training and experience as 4.6 stars, and 10 alumni gave an overall treatment effectiveness rating of 4.5 stars. One alumni wrote, “If I had a problem or was feeling distressed, I could turn to anyone on staff, and they were more than willing to help me through my issue.”
Many alumni credited the program with saving their lives and expressed that they have remained sober for significant periods of time post-rehab. Two alumni, Justin and Daniel, emphasized how the skills they learned in the program contributed to their recovery. Daniel wrote, “What made this time different was the life skills element to the program and I had felt really comfortable with the staff.”
WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY
Of the six loved ones surveyed by Best-rehabs.com at the time of this writing, three gave ARTR overall positive reviews, two were neutral, and one had a negative experience. Four loved ones rated the program’s amount of family involvement and participation as an average of 3.75 stars out of 5. One loved one wrote, “The counselor and staff were very professional and very caring in their treatment of my granddaughter and our family.” Another loved one mentioned the great group sessions and expressed, “This place is practical. I have my son back today. He is over ten months clean!!!!”
However, some family members felt that the treatment could be more effective. One anonymous loved one wrote, “The treatment did not seem to take all that well.” Another loved one complained that ARTR was “like jail.” In response, the facility disputed these claims, noting that the reviewer did not experience the facility firsthand.
WHAT STAFF SAY
Two out of the three staffers surveyed by Best-rehabs.com gave ARTR rave reviews. They both awarded the facility five stars for its willingness to prioritize clients’ interests, the experience of its addiction treatment staff, and its overall quality of care. However, the third staffer, Ann, raised multiple issues including a lack of structure and high staff turnover. She wrote, “This place does nothing for the clients.”
