About the Ocean Rehab
Why Choose The Ocean Rehab?

Congratulations on making one of the most important decisions of your life!  You realize you need help and you have decided on a residential treatment program to begin your journey to recovery.  

Today there are so many choices for treatment.  There are probably treatment centers close to your home, near your family and friends, but will that allow you the distance and anonymity you need to truly address your personal issues?  Is a “strict” regimented environment right for you or would a location that tailors the program to your unique needs be a better fit?  Where do you feel the best, most invigorated, and safest, where can you best achieve your goals:  city, mountains, or an ocean retreat?

Let us help you decide by telling you a bit about what makes the Ocean Rehab such a special place:

We are truly on the Pacific ocean.  The crystal blue water is just past the dunes and bluff that make up our back yard.  It is a beautiful, serene, safe and peaceful location near an old fishing village.  A few steps from our back yard is an ancient lava tide pool perfect for exploration and meditation and in the opposite direction three miles of sandy beach for long walks.  You will be lulled to sleep by the sound of the ocean and awaken to the sound of parakeets and other wild birds who inhabit our own little bird sanctuary.  You will be fed three delicious and healthy meals each day with your tastes in mind.  And you will truly get away from it all.  

At the Ocean Rehab you will find peace and be able to give yourself the opportunity to absorb the things you need to learn,  to change the things that you need to live the way you were meant to live.  This is what we are all about.  Now is the time to call us at 954-993-5635.  We can answer your questions.  Or fill out our Contact Questionnaire, there is no obligation.


Taking the First Steps

Detox:
The initial step when necessary is detoxification. Detox includes medical supervision to overcome the physical withdrawal symptoms that may sometimes be difficult and unsafe to get through alone.  The Ocean Rehab has a number of partner clinics providing medically supervised and assisted detoxification in Florida, throughout the USA, in Ecuador and around the globe.  Detoxification is not sufficient alone however to fight an addiction.  

Initial Assessment:

To continue on the path to regaining your health and for recovery to really work the next step is  to find the right type of rehab program.  There are several factors to consider in making this choice: length of time the person has been abusing substances; which substance(s) were being used; and an initial assessment of any co-existing behavioral problems.  We would be happy to assist you in this initial assessment.  Please call us at 954-993-5635 or simply click on our Questionnaire link here or wherever you see it on this website.

Tailoring the Program:
For a rehab program to really work, it should be tailored to the individual's specific needs.  At the Ocean Rehab this necessary initial assessment is made once the person makes contact with us and expresses an interest in attending our program.  In this step the physiological problems related to addiction, as well as any underlying psychological problems the person may have, are used to determine if we will be a good fit for the client. If the result is that the Ocean Rehab is the right fit, the person can be admitted to our program and the Ocean Rehab staff immediately begins to put the elements of a personalized treatment plan in place.  We make sure to address that person's needs as an individual, not just as a client number on a file.  If the Ocean Rehab is not a good fit, we may be able to suggest rehabilitation services that would be better suited to an individual's success.  We are here to help so call us at 954-993-5635.

Length of Treatment:

How long will I be in treatment?  How long will I need to be at the Ocean Rehab?

"Remaining in treatment for an adequate period of time is critical for treatment effectiveness.  The appropriate duration for an individual depends on his or her problems and needs.  Research indicates that for most patients, the threshold of significant improvement is reached at about 3 months in treatment."
             NIH Publication No.99-4180, 1999


The length of time required to rehabilitate an individual is determined by the level and duration of drug or alcohol abuse as well as several psychological factors that may be present. Short-term treatment programs generally last under a month (28 days) and longer term treatment centers require stays of three months or longer. The Ocean Rehab offers clients the opportunity to stay for 30 days with additional time if needed.  These options allow for a more personalized treatment plan.

We also offer a "premium" program for our high profile clients and those that need a 1 on 1 program without the "groups".  We run this program "on demand" between our regular programs.  Ask for details if you are interested.

In addition to initial treatment, all of our clients are welcome to return to the Ocean Rehab for special programs offered throughout the year with special guest lecturers and instructors on topics dealing with sobriety, personal well-being, and relationships.  Additional programs for family and loved ones are held throughout the year back in the USA and a yearly Family Retreat (with optional extended excursions before and after the program to the Galapagos and the Volcanoes) is being arranged for Winter 2012.

Let our staff help you make this vitally important decision. Contact us today by phone at 954-993-5635 or by completing our on line Questionnaire.
What We Offer At The Ocean Rehab

We use a combination of proved and evidence based methods to treat addiction and prevent future relapses from occurring including: Motivational Enhancement Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Matrix Model Techniques, the Gorski System for Relapse Prevention and the Principles and Steps of Self Help Programs like AA and NA.  
         
With our knowledge of how  to treat those with multiple relapses, there is no need to repeat past mistakes.

Those attending a rehab for first time are taught the proper tools to decrease or prevent the possibility of relapse.

Interesting and educational field trips will further enhance your rehab experience, because sometimes you need to get outside yourself to really find yourself.  You will see first hand, it is possible to have fun and relax without the use of alcohol and drugs.

A beach front environment that inspires the spirit is just 300 feet from poolside to shore.

The change of environment that the Ocean Rehab provides allows you to break your pattern of addiction more easily.

Getting away from it “all” allows you to get away from the problems, relationships and environments that may have contributed to your addiction and the bad habits continuing your addictive behaviors.  In a new environment you can learn new coping mechanisms to old problems and have the time necessary to practice these skills, to really make changes in your life.

Treatment includes treating your mind, your body, your emotions and your spirit.  We offer treatments such as massage, detoxing herbal sauna, and mud baths; spiritual work with the local Indigenous shamans; and holistic treatments including Reiki and Yoga.  Our schedule allows time to work on your physical self. We will reinforce what you already know and teach you new skills.

Our staff has the experience and expertise you need to succeed.

Small on-site client population means  we can provide more one to one personal time than most any other facility.

Location allows us to offer anonymity second to none.
 
The dual diagnosis/dual recovery at the Ocean Rehab allows you to come to terms with the behavioral health issues that are effecting your successful recovery from alcohol and drug addiction.  We are not, however, a psychiatric facility.  If you are in need of daily psychiatric intervention we are not the place for you but may be able to assist you in finding an appropriate treatment facility.

We believe in a Higher Power and consider this to be a very important aspect to recovery; however we recognize that this can mean different things to different people.   We respect the differences of our client population and are a non-denominational facility.

We use the best methods available to achieve results.

We treat everyone with respect.  We do not treat people like second class citizens because of their problems.

We appreciate the trust you have given us in allowing us to help you.

We work hard to meet your needs and we don't stop when you leave us.  Aftercare is an important part of our program.  We begin developing your individualized plan during your first week with us and after you leave, we are only a phone call or email away.

We are dedicated to helping you live a better life!

You are special to us.  You are the reason we are here, and we are successful when you are successful.
