Like many other cities across the United States, Boynton Beach, which is located in Southeastern Florida, is being affected by drug use.
Nearly 231,000 people in Southeastern Florida reported past-month binge alcohol use from 2012 to 2014.1 Binge drinking can increase a person’s risk of experiencing harmful effects. Additionally, 31,600 people reported past-year illicit drug use during the same period.1
Before entering a Boynton Beach drug rehab, you may require medical detox. Detox is often the first step on the continuum of substance abuse treatment; it reduces or prevents your withdrawal symptoms in a medical setting. However, detoxification on its own isn’t enough to help you achieve long-term abstinence.2



Program was very strict, worked half days Monday-Friday, then had classes,sometimes from 1-7, sometimes from 1-5. Church required on Sunday am, Wed. pm. Daily Bible reading, prayer, and quiet time required This was for the Women's program, the Men's may be different. Lots of unwritten rules,, so be sure to read the weekly meeting notes so you know what they are. Must be highly motivated when you go there, the classes they provide help if you're ready to change, but the program is so strict, it won't work if you're not ready. It helps to be away from the outside world, but can only see family once a week after the first month, and also only talk on the phone with family once a week. Only allowed to leave the farm once a month for 7 hours, then only with an approved family member. It has a high success rate. I've been sober for 5 years now. I would re-enter if I ever relapsed, but feel they gave me the tools I needed so that won't happen. It was free, had classes daily that helped correct my thinking, and kept me away from alcohol while I was there so was able to start thinking more clearly.
My experience at Lighthouse Recovery in Florida was great. During COVID-19 the staff was diligent in their efforts to remain compliant in efforts to keep my daughter safe. I received communication weekly from the staff and felt like i was actually part of the program over the last several months. My daughter has begun to resemble the person i once knew, and feel hopeful for the future, a feeling that i have not had in a very long time. As our family has been brought back together I am not sure it would have been possible without the time we spent with lighthouse recovery institute and the staff there. The therapist was very helpful and insightful and the support staff was always there for my daughter.
Their family program was great. The watershed staff was very supportive of any questions or concerns that I had. However they had poor housing for aftercare.

One of the most difficult obstacles to recovery is getting past the physical addiction itself. Physical dependence is a complicated process, and differs for each individual depending on genetic predisposition and what substances are involved. Usually, the first step in treatment is to free the patient from this physical dependency. This usually requires medical attention and the use of prescriptions under a doctor’s supervision.
Some rehabilitation programs include this in their treatment programs; others require the patient to seek detox at a hospital or medical clinic. You should find out beforehand and make arrangements accordingly.
