At G&G Holistic Addiction Treatment Program, we are dedicated to inspiring our clients to choose a healthier lifestyle and helping them achieve the life they desire. Our approach to addiction treatment is holistic, addressing the body, mind, and spirit. Our program is centered around our clients and is built on principles of respect and compassion.
About G&G Healthcare Services
Situated between downtown Miami and Fort Lauderdale, G&G Healthcare Services provides medical detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs for adults dealing with substance abuse and co-occurring disorders.
Treatment & Assessment
G&G’s two-phase treatment program takes a holistic approach to mind, body, and spirit. In Phase I, clients receive over 40 hours per week of individual, group, and family therapy in a residential setting. In Phase II, clients participate in a three-week IOP program focused on relapse prevention, receiving over 35 hours per week of care.
During counseling sessions, clients engage in specialized treatment modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational enhancement therapy (MET), hypnosis, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). Clients also attend off-site 12-step meetings, develop important life skills, and receive support in their educational and vocational pursuits.
Holistic therapies play an important role in our program. Clients attend yoga and meditation sessions, as well as auricular acupuncture. Each day begins with a nondenominational “morning spiritual” activity where clients practice mindfulness and set achievable goals. Additionally, we offer a ropes course every 30 days to improve self-esteem and confidence.
All clients receive free aftercare for life, which includes access to a weekly aftercare group and weekly phone calls with our clinical staff. We also cover the cost of four therapy sessions in the client’s home area after they have completed treatment.
Staff Credentials
Our staff includes a clinical director who is a master’s level counselor, a physician assistant, chefs, a nutritionist, and 24/7 on-site medical staff.
Accommodations & Amenities
Our amenities include a fitness program that offers gym and karate classes. Clients can also enjoy various types of massages, colonics, reiki, and spa visits. Our chefs prepare low carb, high protein meals designed by dietitians.
What Alumni Say
Out of the 29 alumni reports we have received, 23 have been positive and six have been negative. Satisfied alumni have expressed gratitude for the caring, amazing, and first-class staff, notably highlighting that some staff members are in recovery themselves. One alum stated, “Well rounded and compassionate. The owners/staff are in recovery. They understand!”
Reviewers also highly praised the extracurricular activities and holistic treatment methods, with three even stating that the facility saved their lives. One alum, Matt, recalled, “Their approach and methods were just what I needed to aid me in getting my life back. I am so grateful each and every day.”
However, some reviewers contradicted claims about the quality of the food. One reviewer, Steve, claimed that there are no individualized food plans and clients are expected to eat greasy, unhealthy food. Another alum, Ryan, agreed with this criticism. Steve also mentioned an excessive focus on the 12-Steps and a lack of advertised extracurricular activities, aftercare, and personalized treatment.
Other critics mentioned a lack of mental health options, feeling neglected, and suspicion of financial motivations from those in charge.
What Friends & Family Say
Out of the three loved ones who submitted surveys, two had positive experiences with the facility. One praised the holistic options available and credited them with their loved one’s commitment to sobriety. However, another loved one reported a lack of aftercare for their spouse.
