The Watershed Opiniões 

Great place and staff very knowledgable and helpful. One on one counseling when needed and groups discussion were very well planed and executed.

My name is Christy S. & I am a grateful recovering alcoholic. In April 2013 I was broken. I was hopeless, helpless, & faced everday with an impending sense of dread & shame. My lifelong struggle with alcohol had reached a point that I finally surrendered & admitted to my family that I had a problem I could not fix. After that coversation I began looking for a place to get "sober". What I found was so much more at The Watershed Treatment Facilty.
I found understanding. I knew people in my life loved & cared for me, but they didn't "understand". The people at The Watershed did. They have been there, right where I was. I found structure & rules. I had guidelines to follow which I needed, considering my days had been structured around nothing more than alcohol for so many years. I found hope. I was lost with no hope in sight. Now
I was surrounded by people who had done this & were happy! They were sharing their experience, strength & hope & showing me what I had been searching for, for so long. Most importantly was that it was possible! I found acceptance in friendships & comradery with my peers. They accepted me as the hopeless alcoholic that I was, without passing judgement. I found faith. Faith in something bigger than all this, faith in other people, faith in me! This had been gone so long, I wasn't even sure it could exist anymore. I found genuine caring from everyone I was surrounded by. No matter what my story was everyone cared about ME, not what I had done. I found the program & principles of Alcoholics Anonymous. This program that has worked for countless others is all there for me to take full advantage of, if I am willing to put forth the effort. One of the greatest things I have found along the way is myself. A little bit each day I am learning something new about me. I am growing in ways I never imagined possible. I am tackling this life "one day at a time" & I am doing it all without alcohol.
This disease of alcoholism had controlled me for so long, I honestly believed this was the only way. The Watershed showed me a different way to cope & allowed me to finally start truly living! I owe them everything for where I am today & they continue to be an integral part of my recovery. They honestly did save my life with all the things I have "found" & what I countinue to learn on this journey. I am beyond grateful to be a recovering alcoholic.

Before coming to the watershed my life had hit rock bottom .and getting there I've learned somegood thing that I used daily.

I think that the Watershed is a wonderful place to go get sober. They provide a step down program with has great structure which all addicts need in early recovery. The techs and therapist are all wonderful and provide help in any aspect that you need. People say they only care about your money which I honestly believe is not the case. Of course it is a business and they want to make money however, they are very caring and want the best for there patients. They want to see people succeed and do the best thing for there lives. I loved my experience there and thought it was just an absolutely wonderful place with very little complaints.

Before I went to the Watershed treatment center: I talked with an experienced operator, who walked me all the way though to my arrival at the Watershed. I was scared and confused. I talked with her from home, on the way to the airport, in the airport, and even after my arrival there! She was my angel, that helped me in my dispair. ..
Once I arrived the staff that admitted me we're very nice, and walked me through the process. I was in great hands and had my first taste of peace, everything was going to be Okay!
I stayed with the Watershed for 54 days.
They taught me how to live with my disease of alcoholism, to live life on lifes terms. How to achieve Sobrity, not just get sober, but have Peace and Serenity in my life.
I am now a little over 2 years sober, and I owe it to the Watershed for giving me a solid foundation to achieve Sobrity!
I am part of the Watershed alumni today we, still stay in touch. The Watershed made me a comittment to help me make my life better then it was before, and they surely achieve there goal and exceded my expectations.
This was the best choice, I ever made.

Though many places around the world guide people to a life in recovery, I chose to go to The Watershed. The clinical staff at The Watershed help me work though many life altering issues, and provided a safe environment to work on these issues. I hold an immense amount of gratitude for The Watershed, and it holds a very special place in my heart. Statistically there will always be "the outliers", the group of people who will have a bad experience (wherever they go). The Watershed has provided life saving guidance for thousands of people. Do not be afraid to take a chance! Ultimately the choice to change is yours to make. I have been drug and alcohol free since 5/1/2014. My name is Kevin C, and The Watershed has directly aided me in the path to freedom and peace.

I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for The Watershed!

When I called and needed somewhere for my daughter to go to get help , that day!!! They got her to Florida and got the help that I could not give her.

I arrived at the watershed in march 2014.I had been to a lot of treatment centers during my a addiction, but never one that offered all levels of care. It was amazing to he able to go from detox,partial hospitilzation,IOP,and halfway living.Now I am a renter at the sober living housing.The watershed us a place that really cares.They Held my hand all the way.Coming to The Watershed was the best decision I ever made.I have found real support here and I feel a part of something special.Thanks Watershed----Julius P

~Being at Watershed introduced me to myself while I was in darkness. I was lonely, confused and could not fathom the thought of being struck with the deadly disease of alcoholism.
While attending the Watershed I had a lot of counseling, peer support and and an environment that encompassed a world that was a tribe of folks "just like me." It took numerous efforts and a tenacious Husband to help me see that I am OK and as long as I allowed the Watershed's mission to come inside ME that I could be on my way to a better life.
I began in 2009 drinking heavily, but the disease was there all along. It just had different outfits! I am proud of who I have become.
~Treatment isn't easy. I can't sugar coat that (gets better) , but after its over with what you've been advised through the watershed's program there is an "easier softer way." If you need help~ call. You'll live a lot longer and happier "today."

My name is Conor and I came into The Watershed on 2/13/14. I came into treatment physically, emotionally, and spiritually bankrupt. The Watershed gave me the opportunity to feel better about myself and move towards being a productive member of society. I am eternally grateful for The Watershed. I still reside at The Watershed after a year and a half and I clwouldnt have had it any other way.

The Watershed introduced me to tools that I will continue to use. I found the level of care to be very impressive and it was assuring to have medical staff available. The Alumni Department made a huge difference in my life with all of the activities and events that were held. This place is highly recommended.

It has been more than 7 1/2 years since I have leaned on my own Watershed experience. Since then, I have referred even more. To this day, I can still make a call, text, internet message when in need.... I am here because of them! My family has me because of the Watershed....

I entered The Watershed a broken person. I think I literally crawled in the doors. Scared and alone I needed help. This program is NOT easy. It is NOT vacation!! This is a place that understands where you are at and does everything possible to help you out of the life you need to give up. The Watershed gives everyone all the knowledge they need to live a life of recovery. Without The Shed I most definitely wouldn't be alive today. I took every bit of the suggestions that was given to me. I have 2 clean and a life I would not have ever imagined. The Watershed helped me save my life. They helped me save my children's mother. My time at The Shed is priceless and I am so blessed to have been there, and even more blessed that I never HAVE to go back. The Watershed is the BEST decision I have EVER made.

Initially it was me that did all the work!!! however if it wasn't for the consistency with the intake crew I truly believe I would not be alive today so thank you !!
Not to mention The daily treatment program of workshops, therapists, medical professionals ... Top notch!
Alumni Saturday's !!! Rock!
Peace Love Respect,

This was a life changing experience for me. One that'll I'll never forget. I owe this facility everything. They completely helped me find ME, gave me the self esteem and drive I so desperately needed. This wasn't just a drug rehab. This was an all-around life-improvement, self-improvement, career focused adventure. I am sober over one year now thanks to the knowledge I received at the watershed an d the coping skills I obtained. I also gained life long friendships with some really incredible people. It was a beautiful place. Comforting, just gorgeous. The Palm trees, the rooms inside the facility was so clean and organized. The staff was extremely intelligent, caring and wonderful.This is a time in my life I will never forget and I owe it all to the watershed. Thank you so much!!

I came into the Watershed May 23, 2013, and I've been sober ever since. I highly recommend the Watershed to anyone trying to recover from this horrible disease of drug addiction and alcoholism. This program has taught me responsibility, accountability, and how to be a productive member of society. I owe my recovery to them

The Watershed helped save my life and now I know how blessed I am. I struggled for half of my life w drug addiction and once I injected that very first time I had finally found the numbness I longed for. Heroine took my life and my soul away and the person I was became simply unreachable. Then I made the decision life or death and it so happened I chose life and was so worth the fight. Without the Shed and the friends I made there my life I know would have been gone and lost forever . Thanks with all of me! I am greatful and blessed beyond measure today. A little more than 3 years later I know I dont need that needle and that life anymore! For today I am thankful and truly blessed!!

August 15th 2015 was the day I made the call to the Watershed from Phoenix AZ and I checked in to Boca that evening. I was confused, lost and sick when I got there but the staff help make it as good as possible. Over the next week they got me over the withdrawals that come along with the stoppage of heavy alcohol use and things began to clear up. My brain was still cloudy and I was in rehab but there was nowhere but up to go. I really don't think that any patient is going to be terribly excited about whatever facility they end up in and neither was I but it wasn't the Shed I had an issue with, it was the fact that I earned my ticket there and everyone else in there did too.

I would have been happy staying at the Boca hospital, eating awesome food and hanging out on the patio with the smokers even though I didn't smoke. But the program and the insurance company had plans for me to go to PHP to continue my healing the process. It was unconformable moving to PHP and I wasn't that excited. It felt like the first day of high school, you don't know what's going on and you fumble around but after a day you get used to it especially regaining contact with the outside world via your cell phone. It might seems a little crazy but being able to talk with my wife and kids when I wanted without an audience gave me strength, because I was there for them too. A simple "I love you and we are proud of you" is all the fuel I needed to get things on track. Everything is what you make of it and although I wasn't a huge fan of sitting in class all day but I took the stuff away from it that I needed (after all I did earn my trip there so it was time to take the medicine),

The key staff members were awesome, I really appreciate my therapist both at Boca and PHP. Dominique and Larisa were two angels who helped me than I probably will ever have the chance to tell them.

One year later I'm sober, happy and have don't some amazing stuff that was not possible before I got help. I opened 2 different businesses which are doing amazing, I moved my family across the country back to a place that makes us all happy. Some may think happiness is a fairy tale and the stuff we create during our addiction will keep you down forever but that is not the truth. When you are sober, you have the power to affect change of all sorts, good, bad and insignificant. One thing I never lost was my dreams, when I got sober I found the fire and NEVER looked back. I work my program, I made my mends with those who I needed to but I don't wear that guilt and junk like I did. Life is different, people will treat you different because they think you are fragile when you get home. I called all of that my "tackling fuel", success despite peoples opinions and obvious failures. I still have alcoholic friends, many opened up and talked to me to ask for help after I help myself, it was them who I feared the most when I got home but instead if your lucky like me, you inspire change in some of them too.

In February Alcohol killed one of my very best friends, A man, when looking the outside ran his own business, married to an amazing woman and had what looked like the American dream. Jess was closer to me than my brother and we had that bond that brothers have. We even talked about his drinking and he had asked about the Shed but didn't know how or when he could leave his company to get sober. He sent me a picture about the middle of January from the ER and it was just his eyes which had turned dark yellow. A day later the diagnosis of cirrhosis. They put him on treatment and he vowed to change. It was to little to late, God needed a good man and my best friend back in heaven. I wake up every morning thinking of my friend Jess and how he wanted what I got. The reality is I would have shared his fate had I not taken care of myself. That's a heavy weight to bear and my wife and kids are constant reminders of what kind of real damage I could have done AND what I did do to fix it

I will always consider the Watershed to be the place that saved my life. I won't lie, its sucks when you are there but once you get some distance and reflect, it's an amazing place. Thank you

my experience is that the watershed is an honest program that works. the staff actually cares and ahows support. its an amazing program and would recommend anyone struggling with addiction to go there
