I appreciate her help in the exploration through difficult issues that I have struggled with for many years. Its vary easy to open up to her. I connected with her almost immediately. She gives you the tools you need for you to progress in the direction you want to go and reach the goals you are trying to achieve. I have told so many people about her and referre people to her all the time. I promise you will love her just as much as I do.

Probably one of the most confusing weeks of mine and my family's life.

The level of care has definitely deteriorated and the pain she edured while not being properly taken care of caused mental and physical scars. Some meals were withheld...Some raw shrimp etc etc. When brought to attention they made the patient the pawn. And now that they accept Tri-care they've taken the liberty to treat the vets as bad as the VA can and does. They are very short staffed and need a health inspection ASAP. From a Stud to a Dud!!! its no wonder so many good therapist don't work there anymore.

I needed to change my behavior, that much was clear. Equally obvious was that the thing I was…read morestruggling so hard to make work (the 12-step modality) was just not a good fit with my personal belief system, which made it exceeding difficult to stick to. I did not believe I was "powerless" (though I admittedly needed some help), and I instinctively knew that starting every sentence with "My name is Melyanna and I'm an alcoholic" was not healthy for one's self image, let alone one's sobriety. The search began for something that would work for me; soon my spouse told me about GBR (I was too involved in my isolation and substance abuse to do any research myself). She had combed the site, made a call to GBR, and after after speaking to Kat, told me she knew in her gut this was the place where I would find the healing I had needed for so long. So I summoned up the courage, called and spoke to Kat myself, and shortly came to roughly the same conclusion. I got on a plane and committed myself and the next 2 months of my life (as well as a bunch of my parents' money) wholeheartedly to whatever it was they were cooking up down there. This turned out to be the best and most significant decision I have made in my adult life. I was desperate for real change, and had high hopes going in. GBR exceeded all of my expectations. It is not an exaggeration to say my experience was transformative, and by the time I said goodbye, 8 weeks after walking through those doors, I was simply not the same person I was when I arrived- which was a great relief because that person did not and could not love himself and behaved in a manner consistent with that belief. It is difficult to nutshell the experience in a review-friendly sound-byte, and of course everyone who comes here is on his or her own path, but my personal experience at GBR was this: I was treated with compassion and understanding. Over the course of my stay, with a bit of encouragement, I learned to treat myself the same way. This long-overdue change in self-perception enabled me to organically arrive at an understanding of my relationship with my drug of choice (ethyl alcohol in my case) which made ceasing my previous behavior an intuitive choice. It was a deep understanding that I could not un-feel once I felt it. Early in my stay at GBR, one of the counselors said something which turned out to be prophetic, and at the time sounded simultaneously counter-intuitive, hopeful and refreshing. And she said it with a level of conviction that really got my attention and made it stick in my awareness: "Stopping Doing Something isn't what we do here". The focus was never on fixing something that a 12-step program would say is fundamentally broken about me. I was never told I have a disease, never led to believe the behavior that brought me there was something I would have to struggle and fight against for the remainder of my life. I was allowed to heal at deeper, more fundamental level, and my compulsion to abuse alcohol simply fell away with several other behaviors that were neither nurturing or nourishing. And that's the gift that GBR gives, if you do your part. You hear it in phrases like "getting out of your own way" and "connecting with the innate heath that is your birthright", etc. but whatever you call it- it worked for me. And I witnessed it working for others during my stay. As it turns out, 8 weeks (which admittedly scared me a bit at first) was just about the sweet spot for me. Rome wasn't built in a day, so they say, and I certainly did not become the mess I was before I reached out to them overnight. The counselor I matched with was perfect for me; our sessions throughout my stay were comfortable, edifying, and empowering. They have several counselors on staff, and they are all awesome, committed professionals who have their individual approaches and strengths, as I learned in group sessions with them. Mine, however, was the the awesomest. (Many of my fellow guests said the same thing about their counselors, but I knew the truth). Others have extolled the virtues of the location/environment/activities (all very conducive to healing), the food (I tried to take one of the chefs home with me but alas she was already in a relationship), the staff (all were phenomenally caring and compassionate), so I don't need to reemphasize any of that. GBR is in truth what others have described in that regard- a safe, loving place where you can heal from the inside-out. I went down there with a lot more baggage than I came home with, and for that I am eternally grateful for everyone whom I worked with during my stay. If you've made it this far, I sincerely hope you reach out to them. You are worthy. If you are a family member of someone in need, please do the same.

I had no idea what neurofeedback was until a friend suggested I try it. After reviewing the…read morecompany website, I decided to make the call. I was impressed with the way Pamela took the time to educate me on the process and what to expect. I had a lot of questions and she answered ALL of them. I struggled with depression and anxiety throughout most of my adult life. I was amazed that after only a handful of sessions, I started noticing subtle changes. Margaret, the therapist I worked with, was very calming and a real pro at hooking up the sensors. After doing neurofeedback just twice a week for two months, I actually feel normal again. I'm sleeping better than I have in years and my anxiety is a thing of the past. I highly recommend Emerald Coast NeuroFeedback.

Due to complications following a knee replacement, resulting in a spacer placement in my left knee,…read moreI elected to initiate rehabilitation in a facility dedicated to meeting those needs immediately after being discharged from the hospital. This is the 1st time I have done so. I usually go straight home. My friend and home health care physical therapist suggested I transition to a rehab facility prior to going home because of the challenges of being below the knee amputee on my right leg, it would be in my best interest and moving towards the best possible outcome. She recommended Encompass because she had heard good things. I can now personally testify to the EXCELLENT care I received over an 8 day stay. From the moment I was delivered into Encompass care until the moment I was discharged and on my way home, I received a quality of care that I have never experienced before. Every nurse, nursing tech, and physical therapist who implemented the care prescribed for me was exceptional. They listened to my concerns and reassured me as to the plans in place to meet my needs. Because this procedure is part of a series of steps needed to give me complete control of my quality of life they took care to explain clearly how everything would work together when the new hardware was installed and I was ultimately able to live my best life. And those were the folks I had minute by minute interaction with. My case worker, the doctors, and administrators were on point to ensure that they clearly directed the care my people implemented and made happen. I experienced the full spectrum of emotions from despair to joy, and my team was there and available to hold my hand or celebrate our victory. And that word TEAM is the most important to me. Encompass gave me a Team approach to successfully transitioning back home while continuing to progress to the new hardware installation. After which I will return to Encompass to complete this process knowing that my Team is there to support my needs whatever they may be in this next stage. I can not stress how incredible the people who make up Encompass are. From the top of the food chain to Mr. Bob in the kitchen to Hazel who cleaned up after me. My gratitude is immense and my recommendation is without caveat or hesitation.

For well, over twenty (20) years, you have managed my physical and mental health in the most professional and compassionate manner. I wish I had the words to explain to you how deeply I appreciate you both and all you have done and continue to do to assist me with my acute and preventative care, with the emphases "care". When I was in pain, you listened and responded. When I was confused, you thoroughly explained. When I was at my lowest, you both took time and showed me that I was more than just a patient but that I was a person. I believe that you genuinely felt my sorrow and had empathy. In times like these, when "attaboys" are relatively non-existent, I'd like to say the much deserved AWESOME to you, Doctor Daum and Ms. King. Thank you for going above and beyond. You make Baptist Medical Group look good.
