If you are putting money toward a family member’s health and well-being, you should make sure you’re making the best choice for your Sunshine alcohol and drug dependence rehabilitation program. While the smartest alternative may still be to speak to our helpline advisors so they can discuss your individual requirements, checking out how other are reviewing or rating some of the addiction recovery clinics near you is another great way to start.

My young adult son was admitted to the Compulsive Behavior Unit. Insurance paid for him to stay a little over a month and I just know that he was quite distraught when he couldn't stay longer. My son reported to me often during his stay and gave a full report afterward. He has found quite a bit of healing at River Oaks and I am grateful for that. He enjoyed the groups and the creative classes. He said that the staff was good to him. He was comfortable there and didn't have any complaints. He picked up a lot of insight and tools that help him everyday. When he was discharged he was given a thick notebook of the methods and treatments, etc.... He did not rave about the food, but he has a pallet for his mom's great Italian cooking, so he didn't care as much for some of the Cajun style food that was served there. If insurance would allow I'd send him back there. I think he could have used a couple more weeks of therapy/treatment at least!
They are good at keeping people focused on success and can train ones mind to overcome their fears and weaknesses. They provide long term treatment tools for when you are released that you can use to strengthen your mind. They do not have any weaknesses. I was considered a 'binge' addict and they had me stay for a few months and it was all in patient care and I met other people like me and they fed me, treated me like a human being, told me it was ok to have feelings, and really made me feel valued. They trained my mind to think differently so I wont be tempted to go down a rough path.
This place changed my life and made it possible to return to my life with the treatment and tools I need to perform daily. I am forever grateful and thankful to CORE. And pray for more healing in the house. Thanks Marlea Briggs
