ABOUT JUST BELIEVE RECOVERY CENTER, LLC

Just Believe Recovery Center operates two facilities in Pennsylvania and two in Florida: a detox center in Port St. Lucie and this residential recovery center in nearby Jensen Beach, on Florida's southeastern coast. The facility at the address of this page offers residential treatment and both partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs, services which are provided at just 29.2, 24.6, and 43 percent of facilities in Florida, respectively. The center serves both men and women, and can accommodate dually diagnosed individuals.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

The program at Just Believe is a traditional multidisciplinary offering that combines counseling utilizing evidence-based methodologies with off-site 12-step attendance and a variety of holistic therapies. The center also emphasizes its commitment to individualized care.

Just Believe offers therapy in individual, group, and family settings. These sessions aim to uncover and treat any underlying mental health disorders, most often through medication management and behavioral therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Clinicians also provide eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to address past traumas, and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), a modality that’s used by only 56.1 percent of facilities in Florida.

In addition to counseling and therapy, clients participate in psychoeducational groups, in which they learn about the nature of addiction and recovery. The center’s holistic offerings include meditation, music and art therapies, chiropractic therapy, and amino acid therapy, a unique method designed to rebalance the body’s chemistry.

The PHP meets for a minimum of six hours a day, five days a week, and uses the same modalities as the residential program. Typically used as a transitional option for those stepping down from residential care, the IOP focuses on helping clients adapt to life after treatment. Participants benefit from career coaching and job skills and practice recognizing triggers and developing coping strategies. Just Believe can also refer IOP clients to nearby sober living facilities.

STAFF CREDENTIALS

Just Believe employs a board-certified psychiatrist and a number of therapists, some of whom with master’s level degrees. According to its website, the facility is also accredited by the Joint Commission, a designation given to just 30.4 percent of all Florida treatment facilities.

Aside from these positive testimonies, several alumni complained of a lack of structure. “The amount of weekend activities needs to be increases since the lack of such results in unruly and immature behavior from the patients,” Deacon wrote in review.

Elsewhere, clients noted a lack of food options, and in more serious instances, a handful indicated that the center was more interested in money than in helping people, and isolated alumni cited staff “on a power trip” as well as unsanitary conditions. "The WORST place ever. Dirty, disgusting, LOUD, small smelly," S.E.W. wrote.

WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY

Like alumni, the majority of loved ones polled by Rehabs.com to date reported positive treatment experiences. The four polled on the facility’s offerings across a variety of treatment metrics applauded the amount of family participation and holistic offerings.

While a few reviewers cited poor communication and alleged financial mistreatment of a client who left before completing treatment, satisfied loved ones consistently described successful stories, some noting treatment that saved their family member’s life:

“Your program saved my son’s life! He had been to another facility twice before that, but your program gave him the personal counseling and the nurturing he needed to get back on his feet,” A.S.B. wrote in one such review. Some commended the staff for maintaining close contact with them throughout their loved one’s treatment.

WHAT STAFF SAY
