Evolutions Treatment Center

Evolutions Treatment Center Fort Lauderdale Florida

Evolutions Treatment Center firmly believes that no single person arrives at treatment in the same way, so no one person’s treatment should be the same as another.

Our full continuum of care, designed by experienced and highly credentialed clinicians, was created in a way that helps the patient understand the root cause of one’s addiction and then by using a number of various treatment modalities resolve that underlying issue to the best of their ability. Our services range from Inpatient detoxification all the way to Outpatient therapy, allowing us to meet the client where they are at!

ABOUT EVOLUTIONS TREATMENT CENTER

Located in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., Evolutions Treatment Center is an independently owned and operated, luxury rehab center for adults struggling with drug and alcohol addiction and and co-occurring mental health disorders. Day and evening intensive outpatient treatment is available as well as a 30-day residential program. Although Evolutions does not offer detox services on-site, it does partner with and refer clients to nearby providers.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

Following physical and psychological evaluations, each client receives recommendations for a personalized plan of treatment. The facility’s website emphasizes the importance of quality sleep for all clients throughout recovery.

Available individual and group psychotherapeutic and holistic treatment practices include dialectical behavior, family, equine and canine, art, and medication-assisted therapies. Spiritual counseling, meditation, nutritional counseling, yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, massage therapy, and physical fitness training are also offered. Evolutions does not directly incorporate a 12-step program, but clients are encouraged to pursue a 12-step approach if desired.

For clients who have received a dual diagnosis of addiction and a co-occurring mental health disorder such as severe depression and anxiety, Evolutions integrates transcranial magnetic stimulation, a cutting edge technology used to stimulate brain patterns that affect mood.

Upon completion of the primary 30-day residence, clients may choose to attend an additional 30 days or more of intensive outpatient treatment, which involves a minimum of three sessions per week and includes supportive housing for up to a year.

STAFF CREDENTIALS

Founded by physicians and clinicians specializing in addiction medicine, psychiatry, and psychology, Evolutions employs doctors, nurses, licensed therapists, and certified drug and alcohol counselors. The facility maintains a staff-to-client ratio of 2:1, according to its website.

ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES

The facility operates high-end, comfortable residences accommodating up to 55 clients. Spacious, shared bedrooms include ensuite bathrooms, large televisions, and high quality furniture. A lighted swimming pool, basketball courts, outdoor grilling stations, and a fitness center are all on-site. Along with providing cooking classes, a staff nutritionist helps clients design individualized meal plans that address specific dietary needs such as kosher foods and preparation.

WHAT ALUMNI SAY

At the time of this writing, Best-rehabs.com has received survey responses from 10 former clients, and general feedback from an additional six. With a few moderate exceptions, all 10 alumni who rated additional survey metrics offered high four- and five-star ratings for each category, such as exercise and leisure provisions, holistic treatment offerings, the level of family participation in treatment, the staff’s level of training and experience, the quality of treatment for co-occurring disorders, and the various counseling options available.

In otherwise positive reviews, a few areas for improvement were noted, including poor communication between residential and treatment staff and the need for more one-on-one time with counselors. Commonly cited strengths included personalized treatment, the program’s small population, and the overall quality of accommodations. Nearly all characterized the staff as caring and the environment as supportive.

Secondary review sites Yelp and Google also had overwhelmingly positive feedback. Fifteen Yelp reviews submitted over a nine-month period all included ratings of four or five out of five stars except one. Many posts had received written responses from a facility staff member. The failure of accommodations to meet the quality promised was one complaint; another was the reviewer’s limited access to a personal therapist. The 44 Google reviewers all offered four and five-star ratings.

Positive reviews described the program as life-changing and mentioned an expert and diverse treatment team. One alum wrote: “I appreciate the follow up Alumni calls.”

About a third of Google reviewers mentioned previous attempts at rehab and one had returned to Evolutions. Again, many complimented the staff and accommodations.

WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY

The sole loved one polled by Best-rehabs.com agreed with alumni review trends, rating all features either four or five stars and complimenting the experienced staff, individualized treatment, and “clean and comfortable” facility.

WHAT STAFF SAY

In keeping with other sources of feedback, the one staff member who responded to a Best-rehabs.com survey rated all metrics measured four or five stars except the centrality of 12-step and faith-based practices to the program.

FINANCING

Evolutions accepts most insurance coverage plans including PPOs and HMOs. Medicaid and Medicare are not accepted.

Evolutions Treatment Center Reviews

This place is good if you are court mandated for rehab. I was not I arrived narcotics fee but had a migraine the next morning. They are very understaffed. I was left in my room for 4 days with 20 oz of water, and no food as was too sick, and sometimes you your medication for thyroid and peripheral neuropathy, but usually not. The psychiatrist was a hot mess. He was disheveled, with staples all over the floor and strewn paperwork on his desk. He proceed to tell me "I was the worst kind" when I told him I was there voluntarily. I had to take a narcotic to be admitted for insurance reasons. If you seeking ways to control your pain and are not court mandated, don't go there. On the fourth day, I requested to go to the hospital to treat my migraine. They sent me with an adult babysitter to make sure I did not leave the program. When she was in the bathroom, I called my family member to come and get me. It was an act of congress to retrieve my phone, computer, belongings, my credit card, and money. They will do anything to get the $30+ for a week stay, It was disgusting to see the owner's young girlfriend pull up on the parking lot in her new BMW, blocking other cars as she walked on her 4" stilettos. She has no business advising anyone. One of the worst experiences in my life.
Just wanted to thanks all the teams for making me feeling better
Evolution treatment centers has very friendly and knowledgeable staff and the facility is sure to make their clients feel safe and comfortable.
This place was great!! It saved my life
That pool in the picture isn't even there. The place is disgusting. It's a complete scam. These 5 star reviews have to fake. Nothing is clean. No one wears masks. In the cafeteria Nats and Flies swarm around. Every table top was dirty. The tech gave me a plastic cup after he washed it out with water and said "your going to want to keep this
