I'm not discounting that this place may help people and I know everyone's treatment is different…read more I'm sharing my experience because I wish I had heard something like this before I went. My time at Viamar felt extremely unethical and completely opposite of how the program is displayed online. The conduct of the CEO, Michelle Klinedinst, raised serious concerns about client treatment, professionalism, and ethical standards in the program. She called me "rude, defiant, and disrespectful" in front of a group and said, word for word, "I don't even want you here, I would have kicked you out if you weren't court ordered." Later, in private, she denied saying it and told me I was displaying sociopathy. There was a moment during an intervention where I was having a full breakdown, crying and on the verge of a panic attack, and said I felt suicidal. Her response was, "there you go again, just seeking attention." I still think about that because I was not looking for attention, I was crying for help. The overall environment felt more like control than care. Group therapy felt like being ganged up on rather than supported. We sat in a circle for hours being told what we were doing wrong while struggling with EDs. We were encouraged to share opinions on others' faults. Language like "not functional adults" and "wounded children" was constant. It felt like your identity was being broken down, and questioning anything was discouraged. If you struggled outside structured exercises, it was turned into a character flaw. We were taught psychology concepts that could have been helpful, but in my experience they were used in a way that kept people compliant. It felt like the expectation was to stop being yourself and become whatever they defined as "functional." Some exercises were extremely intense and not trauma-informed. In psychodrama sessions, people screamed at others acting as figures from their past while being told to scream louder and hit objects. While that could help some, it was extremely triggering for others, especially those of us with PTSD who had no choice but to sit through it. There was group punishment for individual actions, which created a culture where patients turned on each other. I broke rules and other patients served the same consequences. I was searching other treatment centers on the TVs and texting on social media, along with discussing a crime documentary that was considered triggering. TVs were removed for everyone (my apologies). The techs, not all, but most came across as unqualified, condescending, and distrustful of clients. I had an accident and when I asked to shower, I was told, "if it's not dripping down your leg then there's nothing I can do." I then tried to access the bathroom and broke the lock, which I take accountability for, but felt the situation was mischaracterized afterward regarding blame placed on ED behaviors. The Clinical Director, Johana Aguilar, brought out AMA papers in a group setting and told people to take one and leave, including clients in fragile medical states. The Medical Director, Sophia Zaretsky, came across as unprofessional, for example, flipping me off in a meeting. The dietician, Leslie Tucci, refused my accommodations, and meal plans were hardly individualized. I chose pork and beef as foods I don't eat but was still served them regularly. The environment made my anxiety and paranoia worse. It felt like a prison. Phones, wallets, and keys were taken. Even though it was voluntary, people who tried to leave were brought back by police. Family calls were timed, monitored, and recorded. Mail was opened and read, and negative comments were not delivered. I wasn't told about a court hearing until the night before. Under the Marchman Act, I was told I had no choice but to stay or go to jail, but with legal counsel I was able to transfer. Even after a few days I didn't feel safe. I felt watched, judged, and unsupported. I went in with trauma and left with more, and it has affected my willingness to seek treatment again. If you're considering this program, please choose a different place to get help. Not every treatment environment is what it claims to be.

Don't be fooled by the water views. Viamar Eating Disorder…read moreCenter may try to sell you on the pretty scenery, but don't let that fool you--this place is a dump located in a bad area, and the care reflects it. Our son got worse while at Viamar. He was supposed to be in a safe, supportive environment--but instead, he came out more broken and discouraged than when he went in. The staff seemed indifferent, the communication was poor, and any concerns we raised were brushed aside. When we asked to pull him out, they refused to release him unless we agreed to pay. There was no compassion--just pressure and threats. It was clear their priority was not our son's health, but getting paid at all costs. To top it off, we are now being charged more than $25,000 for services that were never even provided. We've asked for explanations, but no one has been willing to discuss the outrageous and dishonest billing. It feels like a scam disguised as a treatment center. Our family feels traumatized--not just by the eating disorder, but by the damage this facility caused. Please, if you're looking for real help, stay far away from Viamar.

NOTHING short of closing this facility. I would never deny help for anyone seeking it. This place…read morewill not allow a google review because it is so terrible. Run away as there is NO 24/7 physician on staff. They use the urgent care and ER as their physician. The facility is awful. No upkeep or positive environment. They make promises they do not keep! If you happen to go there, get everything promised to you by the SALES person aka admissions in WRITING. There is no chef. No onsite physician. For people in recovery, the nutrition is severely lacking. All food is prison food. There were bugs in my fruit and on my plate. Stray cats inside the building. Facility was on lock down twice because of improper patient admission. Know your rights!! 1. It's all about the money. They do not care about you! You can not leave a Google review and that should say it all. 2. Promises made on the phone need to be in writing. 3. Know about the laws protecting you. This is a FOR PROFIT business and that is all it is! 4. Even Voluntary pay out of pocket and signing out AMA is a requirement. No it is not. 5. You have no obligation to give your social security number to ANY hospital of physician. DO NOT GIVE your social security number. Staff steals. I left without a $300 toothbrush that is on camera but somehow was lost. 6. Advocate for yourself strongly! 7. If you have been know Florida laws. This center is being reported State& Federal. Also to the joint commission. The JCAHO( Joint commission) is the ball buster. They will show up unannounced and give the cop knock. No way this place passes. 8. THE PLACE has been SOLD to new owners. On the 15th of this month, it will be a free for all. 9. No segregated women and mens areas with no doors that lock. HIGHLY disturbing for a female pt. 10. This place misrepresents itself everywhere. Take their Google Bullshit reviews and toss them. It's all Bullshit. If you leave the facility , you have no ability to review as they hand select their testimonials. Big RED FLAG! Google reviews vs here are unbelievable. I want people to seek the help they need and get the help they need. These treatment facilities are feeding off of human suffering like a parasite. If you need help, try to work with an outside facility. Death trap is the word I would use. Take care of your needs just know the facts before so you get the help you deserve and not dehumanizing, for THEIR profit only. They DO NOT CARE about you! Just know the real truth so you are not surprised. Bring very very warm clothes bc the facilities are freezing. Good Luck and prayers to all

He was going there to work on an addiction to prescription pills, wouldn't you know as soon as he got there, they offered to put him on a whole regiment of prescription pills? Tried to coerce him into going to one of their Flagler-owned "sober living" houses, surely to pump more money out of him. Fast forward to six months later, we just got a bill in the mail showing the total cost of the stay (45 days, she said 30, another lie) was $250,000.00, they insurance paid $4,000. When i called the number, straight to voicemail, and some snarky little twink named Kyle called me and demanded money, and refused to answer any of my questions while also claiming to be the only person in the Billing Department. More lies. This is a terrible place with a few good staff members, the rest are just scammers preying on people in trouble.
