The website is extremely deceiving. There are no saunas, daily linens, or a gourmet chef. You get new linens once a week, if you strip your bed and leave the sheets and towels in a pile. They then leave sheets on your bed for you to put on. The food is edible... at best. They consistently run out, and there are hardly ever clean dishes and silverware. The kitchen area is filthy, but get used to it because you will have to go wash silverware if you need it.
Every day there is a board with a list of activities for the day, but the board in the women's lodge and the men's lodge never say the same thing, so there is constant confusion, and the leaders don't show up for the meetings so the clients end up leading them.
The one nice part was my track group which you have every morning. That is what stopped me and most people from checking out early.
Lastly, they have no standard rules, so what goes one day will not go the next. The food is awful, so everyone orders from Amazon. One day they will give you your package, the next they will refuse to because of a new rule. One day you are allowed to have shampoo, the next day you will have to check out your shampoo for 30 minutes...
Website full of lies. No aqua therapy no equine no tai chi, pics are bogus. All you are is a $.
Mt Sinai really went above and beyond for a family member. He had been through treatment before and they took a different yet deeper approach and his therapist was great and actually spent the time to invest in him! They also helped him set up aftercare and he has followed through with every step which was a huge help to our family not knowing where to turn!
Mt Sinai was the 1st rerab I went to that actually cared. From my first day to my last, the staff helped me with my addiction but also what was causing the addiction. My doctor was amazing. He was the only Dr. that has ever gotten my meds right. My therapist was outstanding. Mt sinai is different from every rehab out there and judging by how packed it is, their reputation is amazing. I would recommend them to anyone with addiction issues.
This place saved my life. Wonderful experienced therapist and the owner truly cares
Saved my life. Everything is 1st class. I loved my therapist and the entire medical team. I will miss my time there and all the people. When I got there, I was nervous as it was my first real time in residential treatment. After meeting with intake it was evident that I chose the right place. Everyone from the administration to finance actually cares so much about your recovery. I couldnt be happier with my time at Mt. Sinai. Thank you to staff for everything you did in setting up what I believe is the best treatment facility in the USA, and judging by the waiting list I was on to get in, I am not the only one. Thank you for my new life.
Too lenient. Allowed outside contact from the very first day.
I’m the Wellness Director of The Fourmula, an outpatient program in Florida. If I had a family member or friend that needed residential treatment I would send them here. Their medical director is renowned in the field of addiction and his work has been published numerous times. I’ve visited the site myself and it’s secluded, serene, and more like a luxury mountain hotel than a treatment center. In the event that someone you care about needs help you can feel confident they will be well taken care of at Mount Sinai.
I did a 30 day stay at Mt Sinai and I feel lucky to have found the treatment center, the staff and the other residents. My life will forever be changed and I am grateful to have this new found sober community of people around me. Mt Sinai was just the start of my sobriety but it was the best start for me. Thank you to the owner and the staff for caring so much. You’ve changed my life for the better.
So here’s the rundown. It’s easy to tell what makes a facility worth praising. Mt Sinai checks all the boxes. Namely that the owners as well as staff all care deeply about client comfort and true success. As someone who understands motives, it’s refreshing to see people who give back with the best intentions. Clients that complain at Mt Sinai are almost always the ones milking the system as well as doing their best to avoid growth and change. You get what you put in. Mt Sinai isn’t going to tolerate or reward any lack of efforts to stay clean. Their progressive and loving approach is both firm and tailored to the clients needs. Activities and groups are well spread out as well as the opportunity to go above and beyond with your desire to recover. It has open yet regimented environment stressing that the most important part of early recover is instilling hope and stress reduction. It has been years since this industry took off. As someone who unfortunately relapsed after being clean for sometime, I am elated knowing that someone is finally doing this right. Thank you to all the staff and owners who would be succeeding regardless of the industry they chose to work in. I am so glad that it was helping people reinvegerate and save their lives, that they chose.
I arrived at Mount Sinai with a major substance abuse disorder. What really stood out to me during my stay was the nursing team. One of the nurses took the time to explain what my medications were for and listened to me when I asked about what side effects I was experiencing. If I needed something she always handled that minute and got it done.
This is one of the best places. I felt as if the therapists and employees honestly cared about me. It was an amazing experience and it was my first time. I loved almost every person there even other clients. I was never treated poorly and treated like a human. I loved all of the group leaders who were also in recovery. The only thing that I didn’t like was there was no Coca Cola. But other than that I loved the experience and was able to turn my life around. It’s secluded on top of a mountain and it was beautiful. I was there 6 months after they opened and it was in January. So I didn’t get to go to the pool. The massage and acu puncture was amazing.
I cannot say enough about Mount Sinai- from the serene mountain setting to the unbelievably supportive and loving staff. I have struggled with addiction and deep trauma issues for years now and until my stay at Mt. Sinai, I had not been able to get the help needed to get to the root of my issues nor the guidance and loving support in how to do that with true understanding. Before my transfer there, I sought treatment at a facility that was touted as the best in the nation and state of the art- what I found though, was that clients quickly became just a number and a dollar sign and lost in the mix. This was the exact opposite at Mt. Sinai as I was enveloped into a warm environment and tightly knit community- all of which were on a first name basis, all the way up to the CEO and COO and down to the cleaning and kitchen staff. While my journey was a long and hard one, I most importantly felt SAFE and supported every step of the way. The camaraderie among patients was amazing, the expertise and support from nursing was stellar as they helped me through several crises, and the therapists there are next to none. Personally, my therapist helped to save my life- her compassion, empathy, expertise, and relatability brought me through the fight of my life. Mt. Sinai gave me new hope, a new beginning, and the peace I thought I’d never find again and for that, I’m forever grateful.
Absolutely do NOT send your loved one to this place! It is a scam to make money. The programs on their website are not the programs offered. There is extremely poor communication, and the cost is extravagant. There may be a psychiatrist on staff, but patients are not given the opportunity to see him. Clients are given there cell phones and allowed to be on them at any time of the day or not. This is more of a social club than a rehab. Extremely disappointed. Absolutely NOT what is advertised.
corrupt. weird because all the reviews are amazing yet when I was there every single patient I talked to was disgusted and at their wits end, so tired out from all the bs. the only patients who liked it were the favorites who didn't have any real issues.
This place was pretty disappointing. I leave soon thankfully.
At a loss for words. second to none. second to none. Like a resort. Beautiful mountain view. Resort loss for words. Saved my life.
This is one of the nicest treatment centers I have ever been to. The staff is great and the mountain location is peaceful and relaxing. The food was also much better than anywhere else I've received treatment.
So pleased with staff and therapist.Giving so many tools to help in recovery as going forward. Beautiful place, perfect for changing your life. - John
Literally saved my life!! Amazing clinical team, medical team and guys running the place are the best. Yyou guys rock!! Only come here if you want to get clean...they take it seriously and so should you. Best place ever!!!
I was taking 8M of Xanax a day and drinking daily. I needed somewhere to go and detox but didnt think I needed in-patient. Thank the lord I went to Mt. Sinai Wellness. I found them on Rehabs.com and spoke to them.They were a godsend. Had me in treatment within 8 hours and the experience is great. I will say you have bad days at rehab cause youre talking about stuff that doesn't make you necessarily pleased with yourself. When I got there, two staff members showed me around. I felt like I belonged. Nobody judged me, and everyone helped. I met some great people who are going through the same stuff I am. My therapist was amazing although she did anger me by challenging me. Another staff member helped me find a good place here in Florida and I am ready for the next phase in my life.Food is good. Manicures on the weekends. They make you feel like a person going through a hard situation.
Mt Sinai was the first rehab I ever stayed in, most I would just leave early. I thought I would hate the structure but absolutely loved it. The clinical staff, well the whole staff made me feel at home. I came to Mt Sinai with an opiate problem, and never thought that I would ever stop, but 52 days later, I am done with that stuff. Medical team is very good. Grounds are absolutely stunning. They teach us to take one day at a time and how to cope with life's challenges. I just got to Florida for Sober living and can not thank Mt. Sinai enough. EXCELLENT PROGRAM. Excellent place, Excellent everything.
At a loss for words. My sister has been struggling for 10 plus years and been to seven treatment facilities. She lost her kids and we were done as a family. She stayed at Mt Sinai for 73 days and is 147 days sober. Whatever is in the water up there, she is drinking it. She attends meetings and has a job and has petioned the court to get visitation with her kids. She has the will to live and the coping skills she learned at Mt Sinai she preaches to others in a bad spot. Thank you so much for giving my sister back to us. The only thing she complained about was the food was so good she always ate hence the 30 pound weight gain which makes her look healthy again.
Just left Mt Sinai and wow. Loved it and the people. It’s some of the best people and together we have a great chance for recovery. Will miss everyone. The groups were good and they teach you how to deal with your issues that cause the addiction. Would recommend anyone to go there.
I spend over two months at Mt Sinai and I am so grateful my sister stumbled onto the website. I’ve been to several treatment centers in the last couple years so treatment itself was not a new experience for me. I knew I needed to go back to a facility, but I was skeptical anything would be different. My experience at Mt. Sinai was better than I could have hoped for from my first intake call. The guy I spoke with had so many similar experiences as I did and he made me feel hopeful and like I might be able to do this. When I got to Mt sinai all the staff made me feel seen for the first time in a long time. I wasn’t the easiest patient because even though I knew I needed to be there, it felt so hard. They helped give me perspective and helped me take things hour by hour the couple days I really wanted to leave and get high. These people really know the way addict’s minds works and they listen without judgement. I only planned on staying 30 days, but they helped me to
See why it was in my benefit to have a strong plan for when I left and I ended up staying for 62 days. Towards the end of my time there I was given day and overnight passes and that was something I’d never experienced before. It was what I needed to start to feel safe outside a treatment center. I could leave the facility for a little bit of time and come back to process and truly deal with what I experienced at home with my family. I know it’s up to me to do what I need to do to stay clean long term, but what I experienced at Mt. Sinai gave me a solid place to begin. I am so grateful for the staff and the time I spent there.
I have zero complaints. Stayed 60 days and needed all of it. Thank you to all the staff. You guys are fantastic. There is not a better place in the world than Mt Sinai. I promise I will only be returning as alumni and not a patient.
AWESOME!!! Mt Sinai Wellness Center saved my life, marriage and gave me the tools to live my life. Clinically, the staff is the best. My therapist worked through my issues, and there are a lot of them. I will say this, you only get what you put into it. You must want to get sober and I did. Facility is beautiful and the owners are incredible.
My son has been at Mt. Sinai for almost a couple of months and I am so pleased with his progress. As a physician myself, I searched for the right place for him to combat this disease. After asking a few other Doctors, I found Mt. Sinai. I speak to his therapist weekly and have zero complaints. Dr. has been excellent in his care for him. I researched medically assisted treatment (MAT) as the only viable option for success, and Dr. is a huge proponent of it. I never thought that this disease would affect our family and it left my husband and I feeling hopeless. loves it at Mt. Sinai. I spoke to his after coordinator last week and I think we have a great plan after he discharges. I would give MSWC 10 Stars if I could.
I checked into Mount Sinai on Jan 12 and stayed for 90 days. Understand, I fought my parents to even go and agreed to 30 days. I didnt want to leave. Mt Sinai taught me the skills to stay clean and also helped me with life skills. I had not had a normal job since I was 16 and frankly never did I want one. They helped me detox, and I can honestly say my cravings are a "0". I decided to relocated and now live in atlanta in a sober living and have been clean and started working in the recovery community. New Years Eve, now I look and feel great. Mt Sinai does everything they said they would do and more. I miss my friends I met there, the staff is awesome. are great people who everyday reminded me there was more to live for than drugs. I had 2 different therapists and both were so good in their unique way. Food is good, its structured but not like a jail. Mt Sinai saved my life and one day I hope to pay if forward. I live with integrity now. Guys, thank you for everything. I love and miss you all.
My daughter has 92 days sober. Beautiful place. Very caring therapist. Dr. has been the only doctor (out of 9) to successfully diagnosis her. Her changed her meds and she is doing great. Im cautiously optimistic that we can get passed this disease, and Mt Sinai was a great start.
Absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! And I do NOT use that word lightly. If it wasn't for Mt Sinai I dont know where I'd be. But I do know, it wouldn't be anywhere good... They not only saved my life but helped me through a very rough part of my life and tought me a better way to handle stress. Helped me tremendously woth me addiction, anxiety, and helped me be happy againThey are just plain amazing. As well as ALL the staff. From Owners to house keeping, from the Dr's to reception. SERIOUSLY. I can not express enough how much I sincerely appreciate EVERYTHING Mt. Sinai has done for me, and given me the tools to have a much better life.💗😍💗
I accepted the fact I am an addict and found peace here. I know its a long struggle and I am ready to face it. Sinai is the spot though. Come here to get clean. Place is a resort. Expensive but my insurance got me straight.
Mt Sinai saved my life. This place was everything i read it would be. Medical team A+. Therapy was great and everyone is so caring. I finally got my life back. 72 days sober and haven’t get this good in ages. It took 8 days to get a bed at Mt Sinai and I almost went somewhere else and thank god I did not. Everyone here is the best at what they do. Staff and the dog is the coolest.
Great facility and excellent therapy, but be weary of going with dual diagnosis. Only saw the doctor in passing and the nurse practitioners prescribed antipsychotics off label resulting in me becoming unstable upon discharge. I am bipolar and had previously been stable for 10 years. I recommend this treatment center but be very careful of what they prescribe and why.
I have been to rehab now 3 times and this was by far the best experience I have had. I stayed for 41 days and the experience was amazing. It is true when they say that Mt. Sinai is the best, cause they are!. They treat the underlying causes of the disease and not just have you stop using. My therapist was great, the management is so understanding and amazing. It really is like a family. I am now at a sober living but I miss Mt. Sinai but I promised, I will only go back as a success story on alumni day. Thank you Leanne, Jeff and the rest of the amazing people here. If you have a problem, this is the ONLY place to call.
I loved Mt. Sinai. I cant say enough great things about everything. Their clinical and medical team is 2nd to none. The operation is run amazingly well and everybody cares so much. I would recommend this place to anyone needing help. Staff is awesome. The facilities are beautiful.
I have been to two treatment centers in the past year. One being a well established, renowned, corporate facilty with a detached board of directors and a misleading marketing department. The other is Mt. Sinai. There is no comparison. Going to Mt. Sinai was the best decision of my life. The clinical staff at Mt. Sinai is as good as it gets. The knowledge of the medical staff with regards to addiction and mental health treatment is second to none. The therapists I worked with are the best I have ever worked with, and I’ve seen a few. The residential assistants all performed their roles magnificently. Staff moral is very high. In contrast, the corporate facility was a stepping stone for inexperienced therapists and subpar medical staffers. I came to Mt. Sinai broken and left in the best physical and mental shape I have ever been. The CEO, CFO and COO all knew me on a first name basis. It is VERY evident patients are above profits. I highly recommend Mt. Sinai!
Mount Sinai saved my life , by far one of the best places , the program was thorough in all areas of recovery , the staff there are some of the most caring people iv met , thanku for all the lives you save .
This place saved my life and helped me when i needed help they are truly blessed with the staff they have very helpful caring loving. Cant thank them enough thank u mt sinai for saving my life
Very good facility. The staff is very kind and caring. All the therapy sessions are great and very informational. If you complete this program properly and fully I believe you will be more successful in your recovery. Jamie and Hope are also the best Resident Assistants in the program and will help you on the path to Recovery because of them I have hope in my sobriety.
The treatment and facilities are excellent. The administration needs a great deal of work. The support staff is very young and has no training. Their is no around the clock chef. There are no personal trainers. There is no aqua therapy. Daily schedules of activities are posted, but the majority of the time, the location is omitted, so you have no idea where to go. There is no movie theater. The staff has no idea how to properly file insurance claims
Official Facility Response
I am glad you were very happy with both the treatment and the facilities. Our staff is top notch. There are chefs here from 6am - 9pm everyday and our staff works hard to accommodate every client. I am sorry about your insurance claims, but we are at the mercy of the insurance companies and work hard to process them correctly with our billing company. Our movie theater was taken out but we have plenty of rec time as well as offsite activities that include going to the movies. Please contact us if you would like to discuss further.
Great facility. I am looking forward to my new life. My therapist was really good. Everyone really cares. I have never been to treatment before and the experience was really positive. I don't have insurance so it was expensive, but worth it.
Amazing!! I have been to treatment 1 other time, at supposedly the best place and it didn't compare to Mount Sinai. The program is great. Everyone wants to extend. the staff. sometimes the younger patients can be annoying.
It saved my life and my marriage. Best decision I ever made. I had been to treatment before and this was another league. Everybody there is truly amazing. What a place! Everything.
Exceeds expectations on all levels ! I do not have enough words to express the appreciation / gratitude for all the services / treatment / direction / focus / staff dedication to sincerely adhere to the Mission Statement.
My stay here has been great. the staff here has been extremely helpful. they will go above and beyond to make you feel safe and welcomed. i have been here 60 days and i was able to finish strong in my recovery. Thank you
Amazing facility that has great results. Staff is phenomenal. Program is top-notch. If you have a problem, this is the place to go.
This place was great helped me with my problems I couldn't be more ready for my recovery
P.S. The RA are beautiful
This rehab is the BEST one in the country. I promise you that. Having been to 4 in the past, there is nothing like it. I stayed 71 days and god willing have this awful disease behind me and my new life to look forward to. I did get sick of the food after 2 months, but thats my only gripe. This is not 12 step (although they offer it), these people are medical professionals who know exactly what they are doing, constantly reminding us to "trust the process". I will also miss Reco the therapy dog. He is the coolest dog ever. It would be nice if swimming was coed, LOL.
Mount Sinai is amazing!! If you are struggling with self-medication, then go there. They literally saved my life and my marriage.
I found Mt Sinai on Rehabs.com and called for my son. After speaking with someone for 2 days, I checked my son into Mt. Sinai. He said it was going to be the best decision I ever made for my son, and he was right. They were amazing. Everyone is really supportive. I met his therapist, the COO and was so impressed. They all saved his life. Today, he is back at work, and living a great life.
This amazing place saved me and my daughter !We are very thankful for the wonderful, knowledgeable, loving and caring staff at Mt Sinai !! The place is really incredible ! The setting is peaceful with all of the comforts of a resort . Lots of miracles happening here everyday . Mount Sinai has given our family the gift of a new life .. So very thankful ????????Sydney Franks.
This saved my wife's life and our marriage. Thank youto her therapist. Awesome place. I don't know any other therapists, is a life savior. The place is beautiful, and its a resort. It was expensive, but worth it.
My son had been to treatment many times and I had almost given up. It was a struggle to put together the monies for the deductible. I am so glad I did. Mt Sinai was really good for him. They were professional and courteous all the time and treated him with dignity and respect. Staff is great. They are amazing. They kept me in the loop and my son loved them.
Amazing Place. I have been an addict for 9 years and never thought I would go to treatment. I was scared and isolated. I called the 800 number and spoke to Lake, the best decision of my life. He set it all up, and explained my insurance benefits. I was in the facility in 4 hours and wow. The people are amazing. I can not thank my therapist enough. She is a rock star. I stayed for 58 days and only planned on being there for 30 and I miss it dearly but know that I will only go back on Alumni day. Thank you Mt Sinai. You all saved my life. If you need to go to treatment, I would urge you to call Mt. Sinai. Its the perfect combination of structure, compassion and empathy. The people are amazing. The campus is surreal. Everything about this place is amazing. The people are amazing. The campus is surreal. Everything about this place is amazing.
I came to Mt.Sinai after some tragic circumstances, that left me unable to cope with life without using. Every day, I woke up, and I was happy for just a moment, before I remembered the grief I was experiencing. I wasn't necessarily suicidal, but I was on my way to death. I don't think I would have cared either way. I lost hope. One day, my manager from my old job (that I had lost due to my addiction), asked me if I was ok. I told her no, and within a week, they had me at Mt.Sinai. It changed my life! Where I had once given up, I began to feel hope again. I began to love myself again. My counselor, was amazing, and helped me process the traumas I had experienced. After graduating, I was able to secure the job I had lost due to my addiction. I am also attending school to become an addiction counselor! Life still throws me curve balls, but I am able to incorporate the coping skills, and knowledge I learned at this center to handle life drug free!
Mt. Sinai is awesome. I was reluctant to go to treatment and it was the best decision I have ever made. Thank you for everything.
I was there for 66 days, this place is awesome. Jason was my primary therapist and he couldn't be better. I have been clean not for 100 days, and this is the beginning. Mt. Sinai really changed my life.
I sent my daughter to Mt. Sinai and I can only say 2 words. Thank God !! They have been amazing.
Having worked in the industry for 17 years, I am quite familiar with the ins and outs of the drug treatment business. I will say that the medical and clinical team at Mt. Sinai is the most impressive group I have ever seen in this industry. The clinical team and the medical director are both incredible. Patients are raving about this facility and the care they are receiving, its literally an all star team of substance abuse professionals.
This place has changed my life. As a lifelong addict I didn't think I was worthy of a second chance at life. It was an amazing experience I wouldn't change for anything in this world - From talking to Sean for the initial call to meeting Jeff and my amazing therapist Leanne I came to the understanding that everyone here cares. The nurses are the best! They're always there to monitor each client and they truly care about each one of us. The food is AMAZING!! Everyday we would have something different and the cooks even took requests! The living quarters were luxurious - we were living in a mountain resort after all! The groups and therapy are top notch - they've been doing addiction therapy for decades and each therapist's experience shows. I can't say enough good things about the care I received here and I will be eternally grateful for them allowing me a second chance at life.
Great treatment center. Clinical staff was great. I thought I would hate the structure but they are really good. Nurses were all very nice and everyone really cares.
My daughter has had much hurt and pain in her life and had experience depression, anxiety, and panic attacks for years which led to drug addiction. She has been to doctors, in counseling, in outpatient care, and in hypnosis to get help. With no relief, she continued in her addiction and was digging a hole so very deep that her very life was at risk. She asked me to find a place that was different than where she had been because she was desperate to be clean and get on a better road to recovery. I called several places but finally was led to Mt. Sinai Wellness as this was a holistic center. Exactly what my daughter needed. She was admitted to a 30-day inpatient care program. The facility was so very welcoming, calming, and serene. The staff were so awesome, understanding and considerate of our emotions and feelings. They welcomed her in and worked with her on so many issues. When she would call home, she would talk about all of the different treatments she was getting and how it was helping her. She actually said she was having fun! The road to recovery is a long one and we know this as her family; however, because of this facility and the staff and management there, she has experienced wellness and she is clean. I thank you all at Mt. Sinai for what you have achieved in this facility and for all that you did to support my daughter and our family. God bless you all.
After an exhaustive search for treatment for our sister, our family made a final decision. After visiting over ten facilities in the southeast, we selected Mt. Sinai Wellness Center. Our family, and most importantly, our sister is doing great and on the road to recovery. After the first full week, our sister is doing great, looking great and mentally is on the right path. Her spirits are high. All she talks about is how wonderful the Mt. Sinai Wellness facility and staff are and raves about how the food has been so far. After a long battle with substance abuse, our sister looks to finally have turned a corner and can start on a new path. Thanks Mt. Sinai Wellness.
I just left Mt. Sinai and the place is really amazing. I have been to a bunch of facilities (unfortunately ) and this is by far the nicest one I have even been to or even heard about. It really is a mountain resort with amazing people. The Doctor and therapists were great. Food was amazing. Hopefully this was my last one. I can honestly say, that they care about me and this is the first time I will miss a treatment center I went to. I highly recommend.
The Dr. is the reason we chose Mt. Sinai Wellness for our son. My husband is a army veteran and we have heard great things about the work Dr. did at the VA in Atlanta in regards to substance abuse so we felt very comfortable sending our son to this facility. So far our son is doing well and has said the center is unlike any he has been to in the past and is much nicer and the staff really cares and wants to make him well again. He told us last week that the food is excellent and the nutritionist is really helping him understand the connection between a healthy diet and how he feels mentally.
Mt. Sinai Wellness has been a godsend for my Aunt. She suffers from opiate addiction, as well as, depression and has been to multiple treatment centers in the past with no success. The secluded mountain resort style treatment center has been very helpful in making her feel safe and provided different forms of therapy that helped her focus on healing her body and mind at the same time which helped her stop using drugs. She has been quite difficult in previous attempts can be very combative and resistant to certain therapists but she told me she felt comfortable and actually liked a few of the therapists there. She is still early in her recovery and just left the center not too long ago, but still has all the support she needs from Josh, their after care coordinator. I highly recommend Mt. Sinai Wellness Center to anyone whose loved one has an addiction problem.
