A Life-Changing Experience — RECO Truly Cares
First and foremost, I’m proud to say that I’ve been sober for 485 consecutive days — and I owe so much of that to RECO.
I attended two facilities during my treatment journey. The first helped me in early recovery, but it was RECO that truly bridged the gap between treatment and independent living. At RECO, I lived in a real home within a residential neighborhood — a safe, supportive environment that allowed me freedom and accountability. I could come and go as I pleased, within reason, but was held responsible through random UAs and the trust of the staff. It was the perfect balance between structure and independence.
What made RECO so impactful was how it prepared me for real life. I learned how to navigate everyday situations while maintaining sobriety, all with the continued support of incredible facilitators and meaningful education about my disease. When it came time to go home, I felt nervous, but I left with a strong foundation — an understanding of my addiction, the tools to manage it, and a renewed connection to fellowship and community.
My therapist, Dvora, was nothing short of a godsend. Her compassion, insight, and genuine investment in my recovery made all the difference. She didn’t just “do her job” — this is truly her calling — and the fact that we still stay in touch today speaks volumes about her dedication. RECO is lucky to have her and others like her who bring such heart to their work.
Beyond the therapy and structure, I also built lifelong friendships — both with peers and staff. Even months after completing the program, I was invited to join RECO’s annual camping trip, which reminded me that I’ll always have a place there. That sense of ongoing community is something truly special.
And I have to mention Brock, who has checked in on me several times just to see how I’m doing. That kind of follow-up is rare. My first treatment center, for example, hasn’t reached out once in the 14 months since I left. RECO genuinely cares about its alumni — not just while you’re there, but long after you leave.
You often hear stories about treatment centers in Florida that are just out to take your money — RECO is absolutely not one of them. They don’t just help you get sober; they give you the tools, support, and confidence to stay sober.
I am eternally grateful for RECO — for their guidance, their compassion, and their unwavering belief in me. They didn’t just change my life — they helped...
Read moreNOT ALL TREATMENT CENTERS ARE CREATED EQUAL. Anyone that’s been a resident at more than one of them (which is the vast majority of those that have attempted to conquer the grip of their own addiction) will, undoubtedly, tell you that. As one of those myself, I can tell you, from my own experience, that the difference between “treatment” and “the right treatment”, can, AT BEST mean the difference between continuing to repeat the same life destroying behaviors over and over, maybe forever, OR actually getting better, and moving forward with a new lease on life. AT WORST, it can mean the very real and simple difference between life and death. Whether you’re finally ready to make a change for yourself and need to make sure that you’ve got the best chance of success, or you’re searching for the right treatment center to help a loved one save themself from the clutches of chemical dependency, put your faith in the staff at RECO (most of whom have taken the journey of transitioning from addict, to patient, to recovered, to professional in training, to counselor/therapist, have already personally experienced what their clients are going through, and view their involvement as more of a mission to save others from the same fate that they narrowly escaped, far more than a job or career) and let them, these awesome and caring people that know how to navigate this difficult road to recovery show YOU how to do it for yourself. I did, and I can assure you that it was by far the most consequential decision that I’ve ever made in my life and that there is no better path from where you are at this moment to where it is that you’re hoping to be. Call them NOW and start changing...
Read moreExcellent experience. Excellent staff by all means, lots of professionals who went through addictions themselves. All therapist and group facilitators I’ve had were very professional and very interested in diving into even the smallest parts of your daily lives. Medical staff and therapy are available and literally in the same building as your group sessions and case management can help you find primary care and there is also a chiropractor that was available once a week along with equine therapy once a week. The way the program is set up is by phases. If you are interested in really getting your life back RECO is the place by far. They even take you to church on sundays night and they have a sermon that they do with transportation provided. There is a tv in all the houses, beds are perfectly fine, the showers and appliances are clean and modern. Very amazing place and absolute...
