Beachway Therapy Center Philosophy

Beachway Therapy Center, as a dual diagnosis facility, believes that in order to treat addiction successfully each person must address their own deeper emotional issues. By providing a comfortable and serene space our highly trained therapists and medical staff are fully equipped to design a treatment plan based on each client’s individual needs. We believe in meeting the addict where they are, recognizing their unique circumstances and providing the support and therapy necessary to lay the groundwork for a lasting, sustainable recovery. Each client, upon arrival, will be assigned a primary therapist who will work carefully to customize a treatment plan that will serve as the foundation of their recovery. Through counseling, group therapy, and individual therapy sessions, each client will learn the basic tools to regain control of their lives. We treat each and every client with respect and compassion so that they can learn to heal and grow.

Areas of Specialization

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a highly specific, research-validated form of therapy that can help people overcome traumatic stress, anxiety and depression. With EMDR, a trained practitioner uses bilateral stimulation, eye movement and touch to stimulate parts of the brain as a patient recounts certain experiences and memories as a way to more thoroughly process uncomfortable, painful feelings.
Dual Diagnosis/Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment
These two terms describe a person who is not only addicted to drugs or alcohol, but also has a mental or emotional illness, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, etc. Facilities that treat patients with dual-diagnosis or co-occurring disorders provide psychiatric treatment in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation services.
EMDR
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a psychotherapy treatment that was originally designed to alleviate the distress associated with traumatic memories. After successful treatment with EMDR therapy, affective distress is relieved, negative beliefs are reformulated, and physiological arousal is reduced.
Medical Detoxification
Drugs and alcohol have widespread effects throughout your body, including but not limited to the addiction and/or physical/psychological dependence that develops with substance abuse over time. Many organ systems are affected by addiction and will react to withdrawal. The term “medical detoxification” means that there is a trained and licensed medical professional onsite to monitor your vital signs and protect your physical and emotional health as your body goes through withdrawal.
DBT
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a therapy designed to help people suffering from mood disorders as well as those who need to change patterns of behavior that are not helpful, such as self-harm, suicidal ideation, and substance abuse.

Testimonials

Beachway saved my life. It was a beautiful, wonderful and amazing experience. I was bottomed out and they brought my life back to me. I went through calling treatment centers and trying to get some help for my cocaine addiction and they reached out. The owner, Miss Pam, and the therapists, little Brian and big Brian, all of them, were loving, caring, great and wonderful people. When I first got there, I wanted to leave but my therapist talked to me. I made a 360-degree turnaround along with the staff and it was the best move. They really care about my recovery. I'm now doing great and wonderful.

— Marktel
Beachway Therapy Center is a nice facility. The techs and therapists are awesome. My therapist, Bryan, is one of the coolest guys I've ever met therapist-wise. He made me feel really comfortable so that I told him everything that I wasn't comfortable saying. This is my third time there but the other times I wasn't ready or willing and open-minded. They informed me about my addiction and gave me all the tools that I need for my post-treatment. It was very helpful.

— Joseph
Everyone was so caring and kind. I was really scared before I went there but now I'm living my new life and I'm so grateful to Beachway for everything I learned.

— Leslie G.
Before I went to Beachway I had lost my job, the respect of my friends and family. Now I am working again and taking 2 classes at night. I have some amazing new friends in my life and my family is back in my life. I have been home for 3 months now and my life just keeps getting better. Everyday isn’t easy but I do it one day at a time. I still call Matthew from time to time to get advice. He is always there for me and takes the time to talk to me. All I can say is thank you. Beachway and everyone who works there is awesome.

Beachway Therapists are Terrible, They gave me 24 hours to leave with no plan of action because I refused their recommendations to go to anouther facility which is not why I was there, i was there for addiction and childhood trauma first and foremost now I'm home and I don't know what will happen to me. They are so unprofessional in the way they talk to people

Unfortunately, there are times when we feel we must refer a patient to another facility to ensure the safety of all of our patients. Thank you for your feedback and we wish you the best of luck on your journey.

I would never recommend anyone to come to beachway. “The lush tropical residence” is actually in a better lack of words section 8 housing no where near the beach. You might pay extra for your own room but it’s a twin jail mattress and they just want the extra money. It’s very sad how money hungry this facility is. I’ve been to a few rehabs and this is by far one of the worst.

If you are a family looking for treatment for a loved one I would recommend Beachway Therapy Center. The therapists were excellent and went above and beyond to develop a treatment plan that would work for my wife. Although this has been a difficult process for us, I feel that we are in good hands. Most importantly we have, for the first time, the tools to go forward.

Good Treatment Center with Excellent Staff (for the most part). Some of the medical stuff was chaotic at first... Really helped me see some connections and worked with me on some other issues. Focus on the THerapy is what makes the difference. "If you really want to do something, you'll find a way. If you don't, you'll find an excuse."

Before coming to Beachway my life was a complete train wreck. I was lost in life trying to find a way to do the right things to be a successful member of society. I was unsure of who I was as a person and I was very unsure what I wanted to do with my life because of all the damage I had caused through my drinking as well as my drug use. I was trying to mask all of my problems with a mind altering substances so that I could cope with everyday life. It was like I was in a hamsters wheel and I was unable to jump out. I was running in the fast lane and it was a dead lane. I was so insecure that I had contemplated suicide. When I got to Beachway I was welcomed with open arms and I could tell right away that the staff generally cared about the well being of my life. Beachway saved my life and for that I am very Grateful. The therapist are wonderful and are very well equipped in what they do on a daily basis. Life skills were taught to me so that I can implement them in my everyday life. I was given tools to use in coping with my alcoholism which was a huge benefit for myself moving forward to bettering my life. Accommodations were made to help me build a better foundation in my recovery. I am Comfortable in my own skin and I am very confident in my abilities now. I was challenged to follow very simple suggestions that were given to me by my therapist to help improve the quality of my life. Also getting out of my comfort zone to do things that I would normally not do was very vital in my recovery process. Today I am very confidant in what I have to do in my everyday life and I see the bright spots that life has to offer. I have come to terms with my alcoholism and I embrace any challenges that I may face with positive methods instead of doing destruction to my body. The quality of life that I have today is something that I am very proud of. Opportunities are limitless now due to the direct result of having sobriety for the first time in my life.

All of the facilities are state of the art with a first class approach. The 12 steps are taught and as clients you are able to have a sponsor to be able to work the steps thoroughly and go out on pass to get the process started. Group therapy is conducted on a very good and intensive level. The staff is willing to accommodate anyone in helping them maintain a sober and fulfilling life when they leave the treatment facility. Life skills are taught so that you can implement them into your everyday lives.

Beachway was a wonderful first step in the direction towards living sober. They provided all the essential tools and necessary opportunities required to integrate yourself bacl into a normal lifestyle. Do not get me wrong. You can go there, leave, and relapse. But if you go there with an open mind and actually work to get clean than beachway has everything to help you do that. Wondeful staff, rules and structure to get you back into a regimented normal life, and therapy sessions to address underlying issues as to where your addicition started or how it has impacted you or your family. I have been to beachway twice now, because the firsr time i didnt take it seriously. They will do everything in your power to help you get sober but in the end it entirely up to you. I made the decision to come back the second time and im glad i did. You have to want it for yourself. It is expensive but worth it. You get introduced to a wonderful sober community and during your stay it\'s pretty much a vacation. Yes there are groups and meetings you go to everyday but there is also the gym, group recreational activities. Mini golf, movies, bowling, all sorts of great fun things and you learn that you CAN have fun in sobriety. That you never have to pick up again, overall great place.

I previously went through Beachway Therapy Center and it is a great environment with an amazing understanding staff. I\'ve been through two other rehabs prior and Beachway is definitely the best one. It had everything I needed from one on one therapy to helping me find a sponser. My one on one therapist helped me to get to the root of my issues and really understood what I was going through. I made connections with people in outside meetings and went on pass while in inpatient with my sponser to work on steps. I completed inpatient and outpatient and have learned a lot from Beachway. I\'m very thankful for what Beach has done for me and what they continue to do for me. I would high suggest Beachway to anyone looking for help. They have saved my life.

My life was in shambles in late 2013. I found Beachway and from the initial phone call with admissions until I discharged from their facility 75 days later I felt safe and secure. Beachway gave me a sense of confidence that I had lost so many years before and had resigned to never having again. My therapist pushed me to open up and express myself rather than take on the world alone. The groups taught me so much; that I was not alone, I was able to relate to others when for so long I felt like I was alone, and that I can recover. Beachway encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone, sometimes in ways that I hated and resisted, but ways in which saved my life and forced a perspective change. I came into treatment selfish, unwilling, uneducated, and defiant. At this point in my life after being sober for more than 2 1/2 years I have found a new meaning in life, I am happy, I am educated about the disease I suffer from, and have the tools I need to maintain a life of recovery. I would recommend anyone attend this facility. I was stubborn and hard headed and they found a way to get through to me to save my life.

I was recently a patient at beachway and was highly disappointed! The facility is nothing like it shows online there\'s no stitch of luxury there\'s no state of the art anything . I went ata 10 days before completing treatment because of reasons I found to be extremely alarming and unethical , such as I did not go to detox was told I didn\'t need it was left in my og so not luxurious hotel six apartment... you get one half hour to hour session a week and your lucky if you ever get the chance to talk about your problems out of three I had spoken with rotim once about actual issues , following this two weeks into treatment I was finally able to see the MD of the center head and that is and the man who\'s looking at my information tells me I\'m na alcoholic and tries to prescribe me medication for it when I\'m actually a recovering meth addict. ...Just a few of the horrendous things they did . After going ata my therapist spoke to my family and urged them not to bring me home even tho my family k ew what wS happening she had convinced them because I was an addict I had no credibility nor did anything I say be truth . Absolutely not the case . It wasn\'t 48 hours later beach way had discharged me first then had me meet in front of clinical staff and continue to disperse unacceptable assessment of me and my behavior... I would not under any circumstances suggest you go send or be a part of beachway therapy center if you just really enjoy throwing $10,000 down the drain then by all means...other words I really encourage you to look elsewhere

I usually don\'t write reviews, but I feel like I have to review Beachway. My mom has been struggling with pill-addiction for years. My brother and I didn\'t notice when we were still living at home - she was great at hiding her addiction, and always a wonderful and attentive mom - but when our dad got sick and died, she completely unraveled - she started drinking much more, cheap wine and beer (once I caught her drinking perfume out of a bottle) while also taking pills, and it became impossible for her to hide her addiction. In 8 months, she managed to alienate every friend she had, gain 30 pounds, almost kill her grandchild (obviously an accident, but one that only happened because she was so drunk), fall and break first an arm, then her wrist, and hurt my brother and I in ways I never imagined. When we finally did an intervention and gave her an ultimatum, she broke down and said yes to going to rehab. We chose Beachway because of the amazing location - it was important for us that she went to a place that was warm, and beautiful, lush and close to a beach. I can\'t stress enough how in dispair my brother and I were at this point - I honestly think that she would have died in a year at the most, had she not gone to rehab. We were very vulnerable, all of us. But from the second I came in contact with the staff at Beachway, they put every anxiety to rest. They immediately made my mom feel completely at ease. She\'s a proud woman and it was very hard for her to even admit she needed help, and I was worried she\'d just be in denial the whole time. Obviously my brother and I weren\'t there while she was going through her treatment, so I cant speak to specifics of how things are run there. But I do know, that my mom is still sober today, three months later - and even though she\'s still frail, she has this whole new strength to her, and hope for the future, that she attributes to the treatment at Beachway. She has been raving about the staff, the place, the different types of therapy since she left, and is even talking about relocating to Florida. She goes to AA meetings four times a week and is still in touch with a lot of the people she met at Beachway. The staff checks in with us regularly which I just love. On of the therapists told me and my brother about Al Anon - a program similar to AA but for the alcoholics\' loved ones. We go religiously and it has helped us so much. I am not naive, I know that treatment is only the first step - my mom will battle her addiction for the rest of her life. But thanks to the treatment at Beachway, and the coping tools she learned there, she - and I - really believe that she will be able to stay sober. In short - I\'m so glad she went to Beachway, I really can\'t recommend it enough.

I would highly recommend beachway therapy center to anyone ready to ready to get sober. I\'ve been to other treatment centers but what was different about this one is they truly care. Beachways therapy is amazing they helped me get to the root of my problems and to also solve them. All of the staff was caring,understanding and helpful my whole stay. There multiple phases of care helped me transition into regular life. Amazing place to begin a new beginning to a sober and fun life.

I owe my life to Beachway. Getting clean is hard regardless of where you go but Beachway had given me the strength and motivation to stick with it. I was there for 45 days and was given great therapy,groups,and even much needed activities. The residence is comfortable and clean. Not to mention their 24 hour staff who was there if I ever needed anything. I have been to a treatment center before and it was nowhere close to the experience I got leaving Beachway. I highly recommended it to anyone who is seriously seeking help from their addiction.

Great location and facility was excellent. Conselors where in recovery themselves. Daily group sessions and AA/NA meeting plenty of free time to learn new activities.

Beachway was my 10th treatment center I have gone to in a 16 year span, I can honestly say this is the best I have felt in that time span. I have had clean time before but never have felt like I do now. I would recommend Beachway to anyone who is need of Treatment. The therapists are excellent, the Techs were great and my stay was very pleasant. I am still sober and feel like Beachway gave me the tools to continue to lead a sober life.

My wife went through Beachway Therapy Center. Beachway was kind and courteous throughout the whole process- which was important because it was a fragile time. I\'m happy to say that she has been sober since, and I credit Beachway\'s staff with providing her with the foundation she needed. Beachway was more than accommodating and professional. Would highly recommend this top notch facility!

After being promised to stay at the luxurious Beachside, they shipped him to Beachway, which looks like a motel 6. Unlike other rehab facilities that realize the importance of good nutrition during recovery, this place drives you to the grocery store and lets you buy whatever you want: you are on the hook for your own meals and cooking. Oh, and Beachway is nowhere near the beach, by the way. I called Beachside to complain, and they answered \"Beachway.\" THIS PLACE IS A SCAM! When I complained, they said that surroundings \"don\'t matter and that this is about resistance to recovery.\" I did get my husband switched, but there were THREE OTHER PEOPLE THERE WITH THE EXACT SAME STORY! Be warned, and shame on you Beachway for preying on the most vulnerable people

Hi Maxine, I'm very sorry about your experience at my center. I can assure you that we strive to provide the best possible care for everyone that chooses to come here. I understand first-hand how difficult the process can be. As the owner of Beachway Therapy Center I'm saddened to hear about your frustration with the admissions process and any miscommunication that occurred. I am, however, very proud of the incredible accommodations and superb staff that Beachway has to offer I truly believe that had your husband stayed more than 1 day he would have felt the same way. Please contact me directly to let me know if there are any details that you would care to share with me so that we can ensure that this does not happen again.

I must say when I viewed this website I was taken aback by the luxuriously seeming surroundings and amenities this place had to offer. I was lied to 100%. If you are considering this rehab as a choice for the beginning or continuation of your journey I strongly suggest you do your research before hand. The residences are located behind a train track that runs every 30 minutes and wakes up the residents on a daily basis. They look nothing like the photos and general upkeep seems to be a thing of fiction. If you want the most humbling experience possible and to be ignored by any concerns you have this is the place for you. The therapists are actually good so I must give credit where credit is due but other wise this place is a total waste of space and very seriously a scam for all intensive purposes. They preach about 12 steps and being your best self all the while they lie to you to coax you into paying for your stay. Not to mention the total lack of organization and total incompetence when dealing with maintaining any semblance of consistency or patient respect. I paid out of pocket based on the promises they gave to me and it left me almost broke. Thankfully due to my strong will and resolve to stay sober and work a program I have stuck with it but no thanks to this abomination of a treatment center. Look elsewhere...this place is out for your money. A warning to the wise.

Beachway Therapy Center really helped me to get back on my feet. I appreciate all of the hard work that the staff puts in, especially the tech staff. It was a great place to learn about addiction and to start to better my life. I\'ve been sober ever since I left!

It has been almost a year since I left Beachway. I had a couple of tough months recently but am out of that and feeling the gratitude again. I just finished my steps and am thinking about trying to work in the field. Beachway, specifically the staff, my therapist, saved my life. I had been to treatment before and it didn\'t work. Or I didn\'t work it. Either way. I relapsed every time. My family had a lot to do with it. They were on the verge of not talking to me. I went initially because I wanted to avoid that, but also cause I wanted to get sober, but I just didn\'t want to have to put in the work. It was tough at first, but I was taken to some good meetings and met my sponsor. Then my therapist got to me. She was tough and it pissed me off, but she cared about me and wasn\'t going to let me slide. It\'s crazy. I didn\'t think I would be sober today and certainly not leaving a review for a rehab haha. I don\'t know. Im just feeling a lot of gratitude and wanted to share.

This treatment center completely changed my life. I was surrounded by helpful professionals that were more than willing to help me on my road to recovery. It was a positive, friendly atmosphere in between clients, and I had a great therapist who helped me a lot with my grief and trauma issues. I have maintained my sobriety for three years following being in treatment at Beachway. I would hands down recommend this facility to any alcoholic or addict seeking help from the disease of addiction.

My son was at this center which he noticed a lot of people there had been here more than a few times .. I feel that the center does not enough time into a support system once they leave their center which is critical of anyone in recovery. A medication was given to my son w refills for help w his addiction. No doctor back home was given any records to confine this treatment . There are no doctors or clinics that will prescribe or admiinstor The Medication in the whole state in which we live . I called the center , left messages with there Doctor for weeks w no answer or call back. I then called the \"director \" of the center who was very rude and uncaring . Her statement to me was he is no longer a client he is not in the center anymore and hung up the phone !!!! Seriously .. I would never recommend this center at all . It\'s just a money making business.

They billed me $1800 for every urine test they gave me, which was at least two times a week, for a total of nine weeks. My insurance company paid $39.68. Which left me a bill for $15,842. Good rehab but money hungry!
