About the Facility
If you're looking for help that actually helps you, you're in the right place. Treatment here is covered by insurance — backed by a 95% satisfaction rating and hundreds of positive reviews online.
When you're ready to talk about doing something different, give us a call. We have inpatient rehabs and outpatient clinics to meet you where you are. You don’t have to commit to coming here, or even to getting treatment, to start talking about your options.Evidence-Based Treatment
A safe environment that combines personalized medical, holistic, and clinical therapies is what works—just ask any of our thousands of success stories. While we don’t chase trends or pseudoscience, we access the latest in medical research, therapies, and technology, combining it with our own data. Our program is constantly evolving to remain at the forefront of addiction medicine.
Master's-Level Staff (or Above)
Most people who work here have been where you are. They’re walking examples of what it looks like to get your life back on track. Their personal experiences make them passionate about the cause. Plus, six or more years of formal education ensure they know how to get to the core of the issue, effectively treating co-occurring diagnoses like trauma, depression, and anxiety.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Treatment is extremely personal. Your time here is spent on what’s most helpful for your situation. Maybe you need marriage counseling and find purpose through religion. Maybe that’s not your thing. We’re not here to judge or make you fit into a certain box. We do whatever it takes to help you discover and strengthen who you are outside of addiction, harnessing the power of therapy and science.
Real Results + Accountability
Our alumni app isn’t just another app. It’s a way to get rewarded for making healthy choices and reach out when you’re feeling triggered. It’s how our Recovery Coaches stay in touch with you for a full year and how we know you’re TWICE as likely to still be sober six months after your treatment here, compared to other treatment facilities.

ABOUT JOURNEYPURE EMERALD COAST
Situated next to the waters of the Gulf of Mexico, JourneyPure Emerald Coast in Panama City Beach, Fla., provides medical detox, residential treatment, outpatient programs, and aftercare services for adults struggling with chemical dependency and co-occurring mental health disorders.
JourneyPure runs six residential and twelve outpatient facilities in Florida, Kentucky, and Tennessee. This Emerald Coast facility is among the 10.9 percent of Florida-based facilities that offer medical detox in a residential setting.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
According to JourneyPure Emerald Coast's website, clients participate in an initial assessment to guide clinicians in forming an individualized treatment plan and referring them to the appropriate level of care: medical detox, residential treatment, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), offered at 24.6 percent of Florida facilities, or an intensive outpatient program (IOP), offered at 43 percent of Florida facilities.
A stay in the residential program can last 30, 60, or 90 days, positioning JourneyPure Emerald Coast among the 20.8 percent of Florida-based facilities that offer residential treatment lasting longer than 90 days.
Emerald Coast’s treatment team teaches healthy coping skills, along with the three pillars of health: sleep, nutrition, and exercise. The residential program blends evidence-based treatments, 12-step participation, and experiential therapies in a therapeutic community model of recovery. The center also offers medication-assisted treatment (MAT), including a Suboxone program available in both the residential and IOP treatment tracks.
During residential treatment, clients participate in a highly-structured schedule of individual and group counseling sessions, 12-step immersion workshops, and experiential therapies. Residents attend off-site 12-step meetings each evening and complete 12-step assignments that guide residents in “working the steps.”
Dually diagnosed clients may also attend disorder-specific counseling sessions and receive ongoing medication management services. If possible, Emerald Coast also encourages loved ones to participate in family counseling and educational classes.
Along with traditional therapy approaches, Emerald Coast also integrates a number of experiential therapies, including equine therapy, musical and artistic expression, wilderness outings, and recreational therapy. Holistic therapies, such as yoga, guided meditation, spiritual counseling, and nutritional counseling, are also incorporated into programming.
There's dedicated programming for active-duty military members, veterans, and members of military families, who will find tailored services at 15.1 percent, 25.9 percent, and 16.5 percent of Florida facilities, respectively). These services focus on healing trauma and PTSD alongside addiction.
Utilized as both a stand-alone program and aftercare service by residential alumni, the facility’s outpatient programs consist primarily of group counseling sessions, family therapy, and educational classes. The facility also offers aftercare services, which includes assistance from a recovery coach, who provides support for clients as they transition back into the community.

DJSubstandard care provided at this facility. Lack of discharge planning. No dual diagnosis treatment provided. Clinical Director is clueless everytime you try to find out anything about your loved one. Very disorganized facility and staff. They will take your money and discharge you with no plan or support. Beware...seriously... stay away from this facility.
-
DvIt is a wonderful program as long as you pay attention. I have learned alot from being there. The main thing is you have to do it for you and give it 100%. I found that the majority of the people that work there are actually very concerned about the people who walk thru the doors each and everyday. I definitely would recommend this facility to anyone who wants to learn a new way of life

MNJourney pure was healed me physically, emotionally, spiritually and mentally! The staff was amazing from detox techs, therapists, nurses, docs and all! The housing was was amazing with the blue waters of the gulf of Mexico across the street, the pool and and home cooked meals and bbq shrimp salmon and steaks. Equine therapy, beach trips and mediataion i the outdoors did a great job for me. I regained my life, laughter, confidence and made incredible connections and friends. I even extended my stay so I could make even more of my stay at JP. I highly recommend coming here.
-
MWJourney Pure has been wonderful in responding to my treatment needs. They are not only a multifaceted program, focusing on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health, but a community of like-minded people who share a passion for recovery. From intake to treatment to discharge and setting up aftercare, the staff and executives with the corporate office have been engaged every step of the way. Please, if you or a loved one is still sick and suffering, call Journey Pure.

-
TMI had the pleasure of staying at Journey Pure for 30 days.During my stay I was able to gain the mental clarity and focus to break the final bonds of my addiction.Journey Pure incorporates the best facets of the 12 steps with evidence based techniques from the human growth movement,cognitive behavior and others.They were open and willing to explore new ideas which was particularly refreshing.Being able to pick from the very best of these is what sets them apart.Structured enough to keep you motivated and lax enough to experience epiphanies I would recommend it to anyone ready to take action steps on their path to sobriety.
-
JSIf you really want to stay clean, this is the place. The staff is genuine, loving, and caring.

-
JCI've been to other rehabs before and Journey Pure is by far the best. It is an amazing facility with the latest recovery tools.
-
JJThis place is amazing. I have nothing but great things to say about this place. They took me in off the streets and treated me with love and compassion that every human deserves. The staff really cares about the well being of the patients. I have been to other places where that wasn't the case. This place is growing everyday and it makes me happy to see that more people are getting the treatment they need.
-
MBTreatment effectiveness was top notch. The staff has a true passion for helping a fellow addict. Without them I wouldn't have stayed. Big thanks to the staff for sure. Meditation, Process groups, all great. One thing I would change is the transition from Detox to residential 2 to the beach houses. That is a bit of a mess. They change your therapist/counselor three times and I believe you should have just one for a 30 day period. Other than that, superb. Accommodations.. Beach view houses of the gulf, plus. Shape of the houses, par. Some updating would be nice. Vans could use some attention to detail as well. The center is great. Clean, organized, and cozy. Meals&Nutrition.. They have a great Chef for sure so when you are at detox or residential 2 you don't have to cook. Meals are great and JP will accommodate to your diet, big plus. Once at the beach houses you make a list every week and eat like kings. You also cook for yourself of others in the beach houses. Overall...I will have to say this place is great, if you are serious about recovery and want a big change take a chance here. It is a great place. 4 out of 5 stars.

JordanWell overall my Journey Pure Experience was decent. Staff were a great help I highly recommend them if you come here.Some are a little hard but its great and she pushes me I cant speak for anybody else. Theyt were great they believed in me more than I did myself. Had a great caseload manager she always was on top it everything and I appreciate her for that. believed in me also and I thank her for that.Now the real review is not good the people in my comments are great I highly recommend them.Now for the big boss he did some mischievous he de-chaired me it was an act of unmanliness I didn't appreciate it at all.I enjoyed the whole detox staff,the medical staff and everybody else that knows me.The website is also misleading so don't go by it and they are not really hard on discipline either haha but whatever it was great.So like I said don't go by the website at all and also don't blame the people in my good comments blame the boss for not being on top of things.
-
NNI feel like the groups are good. there needs to be more counselin also the commutation between the techs are very poor .but this is a company GROWING AND I DO APPERIATE BEING HERE I did learn a lot in the groups and that is hard to find in a rehab so if u want quality care as in how to get tools to go to the real would with this is the place ..... just want to thank staff who is a very caring loving person who I see helping a lot of us addict ..thank you journey pure.i see great growth with in..

KHMy experience at journeypure Emerald Coast was amazing. The curriculum was impressive and seemed to be tailored to my needs as a recovering addict.

They were extremely educated in the recovery process and seemed to truly care about clients. This program saved my life and for that I am truly grateful.

JMJourneyPure Emerald Coast was an amazing experience overall. It was life changing if you work the program and utilize the tools they teach you and put them to work. It's not a perfect facility, but the staff genuinely cares and are all there to help the patients. The culture of the program is a strong point and a huge part of the reason that I was successful in my treatment. They are working on getting more activities, which was an area of improvement during my 30+ days. Also they are working on improving the dispensing of meds to where it doesn't require an hour wait, so they have a lot of positive changes coming. Overall I would highly recommend JourneyPure Emerald Coast and I feel it is the best decision I have ever made.
-
JBHad a few issues at first but after communicating through the right avenues, journey pure accommodated my needs exceptionally. I would recommend this facility to anyone serious about sobriety and turning over a new leaf in life.

-
SLI would like to thank the staff at journey pure for giving me a positive atmosphere to grow and recuperate.
-
PSI have had a great time coming to journey pure in a different state other than my own state. . *They have treated me more than well. Giving me the opportunity to help changes my ways as of being an alcoholic along with aftercare. Some techs may need a little work as in talking to patients as if they are inmates. Other than that, I have no negative to say about my experience
-
NKJourney Pure is an excellent program with staff that care about their patients and work with them on a daily basis. I could not recommend this place more to an addict who truly wants to work a program and wants to get sober. Excellent program.
-
JSRthis place has taught me so much about relapsed prevention and the brotherhood between the guys that are in treatment is simply amazing the way everyone really wants to work a program ...my therapist is an amazing person has helped identified a lot of problems I didn't see before ....thank you JP for everything looking forward to stay in contact in the recovery app
-
LAThis is by far the best and last rehab I have been to. The staff is really helpful in all aspects in recovery. Also the brotherhood that they allow us to form with are fellow peers is strong and gives great hope for what is to come. Thank you for everything Journey Pure.
-
HOThank you Journey Pure! This was my first (and only time) in treatment. My expectations were low when I got here, but I left feeling better than ever! I am going to miss this place and all of the friends I have made. Who comes to rehab and has the time of their life? Journey pure was a really great experience and I absolutely loved the group therapy and the staff is awesome!
-
JVGreat therapists, groups, and techs made for an amazing experience. Housing is located on the beach which provided a relaxing time.
-
HCEverything was pretty good except for there were no adventure activities or outings like stated on your website. That was truly disheartening.
-
JNThe only thing I would change is getting your personal phone more than once a week.
-
DLJourney Pure quite literally changed my life. You get out of this program what you put into it. There is no cure for this disease, but there is a remedy; you have a choice in life, your decisions and how you respond to stressors and emotions. I've learned various coping skills through the Journey Pure program, and I can honestly say that the path I was on would have taken my life, Journey Pure taught me skills that saved my life. I highly recommend this program to anyone that's willing to actually put forth effort and strive for a positive change in your life.
-
HKI am grateful for this opportunity at journey pure, I have gained a lot here. thanks to all the staff for their love and support.
