The following is based on a combination of Surveys of Alumni, Staff, Loved Ones, and Reviews and Ratings from around the web.
Reviews at a Glance
- Animal Therapy
Animal therapy (also called animal-assisted therapy and pet therapy) supports recovery and emotional wellbeing by helping people develop relationships with animals. Animal therapy can be a one-time or ongoing experience.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
The focus of cognitive behavioral therapy (also called CBT) is helping people to understand the thoughts and emotions that underlie their addiction with the goal of learning new, healthier and more productive ways to understand and express themselves.
- Trauma & Associative Awareness Therapy (AAT)
Associative Awareness Therapy (AAT) uses the brain’s innate ability to adapt to change in a healing way, essentially “retraining” the brain to respond differently to familiar memories of trauma or pain.
- Aftercare Support
Addiction recovery does not end with discharge after completing a rehab program. Facilities that offer aftercare planning and/or support work with patients to ensure sustainable recovery by helping to plan and make arrangements for transitional or sober living, help with housing, vocational counseling, etc.

I was scared, nervous, angry, sad.. I didn't know what I wanted at that time except that I was sick of myself and my life. I had almost given up hope. The staff at Boca Recovery Center help me feel at home, I went to them with any problem I had and never had anyone look down on me. Their facility is beautiful and their staff is amazing!

I started my recovery journey in February with this amazing place. No one truly likes asking for help or going to rehab however the staff and my fellow clients made my experience worth it all. I've since suggested this facility to many recovering addicts who are serious about their recovery. I am so happy to be apart of this alumni.
