This place has seriously become family to me. I never thought I could become what I am today until I met everyone that worked here. The facility is absolutely amazing. Very very clean .... always very very clean.... the food is phenomenal thanks to the wonderful cooks. My life was seriously headed straight for death but this team worked a miracle and saved me. The entire staff is great and the way they all truly care as opposed to them just doing the job is extraordinary. I was able to fully hand myself over and trust where I was to help me.
What can I say, all good at Boca Recovery !! I have 97 days sober today ! I stayed at Boca Recovery for two months. It took all of that and more to come out of my fog ! And still haven't come out of it all the way. But at Boca, they are loving and caring about your Recovery process. For sure. The counselors are the best ! So caring and kind throughout the Recovery process ! Great food, comfortable beds and loving people, what more can one want ? Anyway 5 stars for Boca Recovery Mark Miller
Accommodations nice, grocery shop and cook for ourselves, near the beach. I have stayed clean for 4 years
