Unfortunately I have been to a few rehabs already and hope this is the last one but, God Forbid, I need to go back to rehab. for any reason, I would definitely choose Compassion once again. It is different from most others in that there are a small and manageable amount of clients where each client's individual needs have a better chance of being addressed. You truly feel your needs are being met within the process. The counselors are very professional and thorough and they try to do their best to take with us knowledge that can further assist us in our journey to full recovery. read less

Thinking I was going to have to stay there for any length of time made me want to take my chances and hitch a ride back to Pennsylvania. Suffice it to say, when I had given up on myself, the techs, therapists and administrators never once gave up on me! They helped me see that it was myself that I hated and showed me more ways to love myself than I could possibly count. I am eternally grateful for Compassion and all of the staff for their altruistic professionalism and profoundly loving and caring hearts! (Despite 2 weeks of nothing but pessism and disrespect from me). read less

The technicians are amazing and are always there to help when needed. From simple conversation to real down to earth conversations about struggles. The clinical team is also excellent! They teach incredible skills to help get sober and STAY sober. I am now 5 months sober and could never have done it without the help of Compassion Behavior Health! Thank you so so much Compassion! read less

Thank you to Paul and Sean for allowing me to have a second chance and taking me back. I couldn't have asked for a better Therapist Jenn to help me on my path to recovery. I was completely defeated and had lost hope when I first came to Compassions, but the support and care from the entire establishment helped me grow and appreciate life again. Also thank you to Heather and Becca for always giving great advice and showing me that I am deserving of a better life. I would r commend Compassions Behavioral Health to anyone suffering from addiction or mental health. There is truly a way out, and I am forever grateful that Compassions gave me the opportunity to find a better life. read less

It’s so good that I’ve been there 3 times! Lmao. Dara is an amazing therapist as well as Greg and Jen. Kelly and Krystal are the directors and run the place and one thing I can promise you is that they really DO care. My favorite of the CBH clinical team is James though. Every time I’ve been there this dude has gone above and beyond to make sure I had what I needed both during my residency there, and after. Thank you so much for everything CBH. read less

Every individual we dealt with at CBH has been fantastic. Even and Megan in Admissions, Kelly and Tori in Administration and Greg as our son's therapist were all patient, empathetic, efficient, and followed through with every issue to a successful outcome. Their communication skills with each other, with our son and with us as parents led to a true partnership in getting our son to a place of wellness. No other facility he has been to showed a commitment to his success like CBH. No other facility included us in weekly family therapy sessions (although I’m quite sure they billed for it). Our son is leaving Compassions with new skills / tools to cope going forward and a positive future outlook. read less

William C. 12/01/2018amazing treatment center. the therapist’s care so much about each client, and build a relationships that last. I recommend this treatment center to anyone struggling with mental health and substance abuse disorders. This facility will help you maintain a lifestyle free from drugs.

I was lost and confused when I walked in their doors but there amazing staff and clientele made me feel welcome and I actually felt connected to people again. I had an amazing therapist that made me see myself and my life for what it was and what it could be. Ms. Dara Kobrin finally made me look inside myself and find out who I was. The best part about it was from all the therapists, clinical staff, technicians, even the clients that shared a stay with me; all were open and willing to lend an ear or give advice. I knew what it felt like to belong somewhere and to care about others and I hadn’t felt that in many years. I still keep in contact with many people that I met during my stay there and I’ve even become friends with some of them. They had gone above and beyond to make sure I was doing good and staying out of trouble months after graduating. I owe the life I have now to CBH. Funny as it sounds, I didn’t want to leave because I didn’t want to lose the bonds that were made there. I may not be a millionaire and have the life of my dreams yet but CBH started me on my path to success and ever since leaving the center, I’ve been living life better then I ever imagined I could. read less

I was there for 6 almost 7 weeks. I loved the staff. I loved my therapist Greg Laforte. I loved the groups and getting to do fun activities every week like go to the beach, the movies, out to dinner. I am now 5 months sober almost 6 months in a few weeks. I am so lucky to have gotten the right treatment so I can have a lasting recovery. I have mental health issues and was pleased with how they respected and helped me grow with learning coping skills and showing me tools. I definitely will never forget my experience. 10/10 rating. read less

I know several people who have completed treatment with them and had nothing but positive things to say . I also speak to Paul regularly from Compassion . He has referred several clients to us . But before referring, he came to check out all of our houses and ask lots of questions about our program . He also calls regularly to check up on his clients. Any questions or concerns I have, he responds immediately . His communication is impeccable . His actions show he genuinely cares about the well being and after care of their clients ! I would certainly recommend this center. read less

Someone who is genuine, kind and goes above and beyond what is expected. Today I want to share my experience at CBHC with someone who fits this description, Paul. Paul saved my loved one's life... plain and simple. My younger brother needed help and my family and I were lost. We didn't know what to do. Paul became our rock. He took care of my loved one like he was his own Paul always took my phone calls, no matter the hour. He is patient, warm and empathetic. Paul talked us through tough situations and made key suggestions where my brother's life was hanging in the balance. I will never forget Paul and how much he now means to my family. We love Paul -- he always has a place in our hearts! read less

My track record proved that I did not deserve any more chances and that I should've been labeled a "lost cause," but something special happens here if you're just the slightest bit willing to change your life. They've also followed me every step of the way on my journey through recovery thus far and maintain frequent communication. The staff is amazing and the therapists are unparalleled in the industry. I owe this place my life, I love all of you, and just want to thank each and every person from the bottom of my heart. read less

Ive become suspicious of treatment centers that I'm not fsmiliar with in South Florida because of some bad experiences. I was surprised by what I foubd here. The facilities are small and nice. The residences are clean. It was a small group of patients and a small staff. The thing that really stood out were the therapists. I have never seen such a caring and insightful team of therapists at any treatment. This is just a great treatment center, with great people, and I would recommend it to everybody. Special thanks to Dara. read less
