CARES Treatment Center

I spent several months there and the people were very friendly and helpful. I learned a lot about myself , and how to communicate with my family. We did a lot fun things and many outings. And I even learned how to dance.

i dont know how they aren't shut down. They are manipulative and toxic people. I would never recommend sending a loved one to these people.

I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia for two years now. The condition has forced me to leave my work and I became a burden to my family. It went from auditory hallucinations to complete paranoia. I was too scared to get out of home, too afraid that my worst fears are confirmed. I covered my face, I shut the windows and closed the doors. I cared too much what other people think, but that's where I was wrong. This have been such a great blessing to me. The Heart Transformation treatment has helped me learn how to handle my condition and face each new day with hopes that I can make it. Now, I am back remotely working from home and helping my family. Yes, there are bad times and even worst times that still come but CARES Treatment has given me a new perspective on life and has shown me that God's grace is sufficient. I am just grateful.

I went to CARES treatment in Davenport FL to get dual diagnosis help for myself. It was suppose to be a long term treatment program, PHP care. Upon arrival I met the owner who in our first conversation said it’s OK to relapse and that he won’t kick me out. I paid him 800 in cash for 1 month of what ended up being room and board. At this time he also said the power to be decided I should be paying 1200 a month. More problems include: 1. I was the only client in there house. 2. The staff they had were all interns from college. 3. I sat around everyday watching therapy like videos. 4. Continually the owner kept saying it’s ok to relapse 5. There were no groups or activities like a PHP treatment program is suppose to provide. Last but not least the owner went behind my back after the CARF inspection and told my therapist to discharge me from PHP care to a sober living client therefore taking away from me the type of care I need at a higher level. The therapist in question didn’t agree with the lowering my level of care.

This place is a..joke! Very wonderful family saught to send their child here for counseling and the staff member who obviously needs to be on medication himself is the most obnoxious, rude , egotistical maniac I have ever know. I listened to the rude manner in which he spoke to the wife of one of the pillars in our community...DO NOT SEND YOUR LOVED ONE TO THIS PLACE!
