I came to Summerhouse after being on pain killers for many months. I tore both my rotator cuffs in my 2 shoulders. I tried to stop taking the pills by myself but it wasn't possible. I was climbing the walls and had no choice but to take more pills. I walked into summerhouse very apprehensive but had no options. The first 2 days was not easy but they gave me the right meds so I can get through it. Every worker, dr, nurse and cook really cared about me and my needs. I went to a Narcotics anonymous meeting and felt at home. I know that the reason I used these pills was to help with the pain and not for a fun affect. I am.now 5 days in with 2 more to go and summerhouse was the answer to my prayers. I no longer need drugs to get through thr pain. Thank you to everyone who helped me on my journey. Even the owner has taken the time to talk to me. The nurses took their time with me to be sure I was comfortable and had the right meds to sleep. Even the cook made sure I liked the food and was willing to make something special for me to eat. This was the first and hopefully the last time I will need a detox center but if I should, I will definitely come to summerhouse. God Bless these people for helping me get through this horrible experience. read more

if you need run of the mill detox, this place is fine. if you have other major underlying issues, dont expect anyone to even know what's going on With you. I was told my detox would be tailored to my major underlying issues only to find out the staff was never even told what I was going through even though I was assured I would be watched. I didn't see a dr/therapist until the night before I left and was there for 5 days. I was given the excuse they are under staffed. The entire world is understaffed, maybe if they stopped playing around on their phones all day and watching movies with patients, more care could be provided for those who were given that expectation. I was failed at this facility. lots of promises with faulty at best execution. read more

Do NOT send your loved ones here it's all about the $$$ for them. They claim the blind dosage is so you don't swap meds(nobody would ever do that) 5mg of Valium tapering down a Mg everyday is what's in the "jungle juice". Feeding people meds they're not aware of is totally unethical.There's a few people who actually have a heart but at the end of the day they don't matter since their only goal is to make $$$$ and they claim you're gonna die if you don't go to through them and then on to whatever place they have a referral program to send you to(ie more $ for summer house.) this place needs to do better, if I could give it 0/5 I would. read more

I've been twice. The first time was pleasant, I had no discomfort. The second time I was supposed to be detoxing from 1-2mg of xanax a day however, the intake person somehow had me quoted as taking up to 10mg a day. It took 3 days of me being totally blacked out, the staff repeatedly tossed my room and violated my belongings they were certain I had brought something in with me. Finally after 4 days I was able to speak coherently and I asked the nurse what I'm receiving for meds that's when I was told I was receiving a higher dose of medication for my stay at detox than I had ever taken before a day in my life. I was still discharged as anticipated by my condition and what insurance pays, even though I left with a much higher dosage in my system than I ever came close to before seeking "help" read more

It is a comfortable environment and the food is good. The blind detox made me slightly uncomfortable, but it is understandable. They will keep you VERY medicated if you want it, so your recovery is really on you if you are here. The staff treats you well, but it is a give and get respect situation. They are good with setting up aftercare. If you are thinking about coming here, or anywhere, check yourself in and be strong. You can do it read more

I went into Summer House in January 2018 for detox. This was my first time in any program. While I was scared to death, I spoke to the Owner and staff and they all made me feel welcome. I was suffering from alcohol abuse which is why I went in. The place itself is clean and organized. They feed you 3 decent meals a day and have snacks around all the time. There is always water, tea and other drinks around to keep you hydrated. The main areas are great to hang in and the outside by the water is lovely. You can talk to other patients or staff anytime. There is a community phone to call home when necessary. Medically they give you drugs to detox and they are extremely helpful. The staff also checks up on you constantly to make sure you are handling the meds OK. The rooms are nice and quiet and the beds very comfortable. I need to know where you got the bedding!!! If you need to detox, this is an amazing place to go. Thank you to all the staff for taking care of me! read more

Summer House is the best detox. After many different treatment and detox centers never have I experienced such respect from ALL staff and genuine care and concern for your well being. They keep you as comfortable as possible. Burt & Jordan in admissions are AMAZING ! As long as it is within their power they will make it happen for you. I loved my experience, the house is SPOTLESS as their cleaning staff works endlessly to ensure the most clean rooms, lobby & kitchen. If you are suffering with the disease of addiction please call.

Absolutely hands down the best experience I've had dealing with the first step of my addiction you can absolutely tell why this place has been in business for as long as they have from the my first call to Tj , and with the help of Jordan and burt my detox from the drugs in my system was comfortable, everything about this place you couldn't ask for more from the 5 star chef that prepares your meals to the beautiful intercostal back patio to lay out and get sun to the techs that are there for you at every part of your day these people are here to make you comfortable period !! Great Na and AA meetings nightly while enjoying the view out back on the water, just a great place rooms spotless beds with down comforters and can just go on and on I would recommend anyone needing help to the Summer House they just made a bad time in my life so much easier with their help and I thank each and everyone of them GOD BLESS! read more

My son recently went to Summer House in Miami, Florida for detox from opiates. Once there he started asking what they were giving him (it's a medical detox). They refused to tell him. They also refused to tell his doctor when he called. When my son kept insisting on knowing what he was being given they kicked him out. Finally his doctor was able to find out they had been giving him hydrocodon! Why would they give him that in detox? When we asked how he was supposed to get clean on that they said they never promised he would be clean in 7 days. Obviously he wouldn't have gone there if they had not told us he would be clean. Very shady place! Not sure what is going on there but don't waste your money. read more

This is the best place in the us from admissions to the kitchen. When you feel at your weakest the nurses go above and beyond to get you help. They make you feel like family and it's very high class. The techs are so supportive and they definitely make you feel safe and they are great role models for what recovery can be. I haven't t had a bad experience whatsoever. The beds are amazing. The food is to die for it's so good you get mad when you're to sick to eat. I definitely recommend this place as a great dignified place for yourself or any loved one to recover.

I brought my friend to Summer House for the detox program a few months ago. She's been struggling with her addictions for many years and finally agreed to get help. I can't speak to the details of her experience there, but I can very happily say that she recently received her chip for 3 months clean. Before I brought her in, I called for information and during her intake I stayed and asked a ton of questions. TJ was very patient and professional. He answered everything and made us both feel as comfortable as possible in such a delicate situation. I've never dealt with addiction personally, but I have seen what it has done to some of the people I love. I think that the first step has to be that the person has to want to be helped, but having the right people around in the right environment can do so much. Thank you Summer House for helping my friend. read more

Went to summer house my first time back in Jan of 2016. I've been in and out of the revolving door of treatment centers/detox's and before summer house I went to sunrise house two times and then before that I went to Lumiere. Summer house was by far the best detox when it comes to withdrawal comfort and staff actually doing their jobs attending to your needs. The blind detox protocol is by far the best detox method I've used in my life. While they don't tell you what's in it, or when they start Weaning you off it they base their decisions on continuous observation. If you are noticeably still sick/detoxing they are going to extend your protocol. Always just make sure your honest with any questions the nurses ask you. If you begin to get uncomfortable a few hours after taking the medicine, if 4 hours have passed they will give you another one. When I got admitted here I was doing a large quantity of heroin per day mixing with the occasional benzo. Literally no more than 45 minutes after drinking the cocktail I was practically in a coma for the next two days (the nurses obviously took my vitals and gave me all my doses) but for a solid 48 hours I don't remember a god damn thing. The good thing about not knowing when they start decreasing your doses is you don't start giving yourself anxiety knowing you'll soon be finished with it.. TRUST ME, I've been to 16 treatment centers since turning 21-29 (I'm now currently 30 and have been on MAT) THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST MEDICINE TO TAKE AND PROTOCOL TO FOLLOW FOR DETOXING OFF OPIATES AND BENZOS!! Think about it, with suboxone you exactly what MG their giving you and exactly when you receive your last dose. Speaking from experience psychologically it's much much better to just go with the flow and not know anything. I know, sounds crazy, and it did to me at first too. But after experiencing this detox regimen twice I was proved wrong. Also, when you actually finish being given the opiate/benzo cocktail, the nurses still continue to give you these cocktails that seriously taste pretty much exactly the same but instead of being full of narcotics, it's a proven formula that includes brain booster vitamins, energy supplements, and a bunch of other shit that's supposed to ease any remaining physical withdrawal symptoms and restore a natural balance in your brain. Yes, the food is amazing but honestly the food has been amazing at every single detox I've been to, so it's really nothing to brag about. Only thing I really liked a lot better at sunrise was their showers. The showers there are enormous and top of the line. And one more huge plus about summer house is they want you to relax, and STAY RELAXED. Meaning in every other single detox I've been to, you are responsible to make sure your awake to stand and wait in the long ass med line to the nurses counter to get your sub. That shit used to take FOREVER and just overall sucked. At summer house, the nurses are courteous enough to actually bring all your prescribed meds with them to give you as well as the BP machine, thermometer, and finally the Golden Cocktail. Hope this review helps someone. Like I said it can be intimidating to not know what or how much of something your taking, but if you answer all the questions honestly except for applying the number one unwritten rule in giving your drug history... double that shit no matter what!! This will ensure you are extremely comfortable throughout your entire stay with summerhouse! Wish you all a speedy recovery and best wishes!! read more

Summer House Detox was my first experience with recovery. I knew nothing about this process other than I wanted to stop drinking. Living in Miami when I decided to get help for my alcohol problem, I would pass Summer House often driving to work, but never knew the first step in my new life was only minutes away from my house where my drinking reached its lowest point. From the moment I walked through the door I was treated with respect, dignity and compassion. The entire staff was knowledgeable and supportive. The facility is the epitome of comfort and relaxation. Top notch medical staff, behavioral technicians, AMAZING food, comfortable beds, television and 24/7 support to help any client get through one of the most challenging/rewarding experience of a person's life. I was blessed to meet my sponsor at Summer House who has been instrumental in every stage of my recovery and still continues to help me as a sponsor and friend even after I moved from Florida. If you're looking for a comfortable, nurturing, supportive and safe environment to start your new life, then I HIGHLY recommend Summer House Detox. I arrived November 5, 2015....and I'm still sober today...much of which I owe to the network I gained from Summer House read more

From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with tender love , kindness, and respect. This facility is beautiful, not only in the superficial sense. Everyone from the techs, housekeeping, nursing staff, chef, therapists, and the Administration shows genuine care, love, and concern for every person that walks in. As I repeat detox client, I can honest say that they do the best medical detox for opiates and benzos that I have ever experienced. I walk in there feeling like I've been hit by a train and walk out without the slightest withdrawal symptoms after 7 days, and that's compared to hospitals that I have detoxed in. The blind detox forces a level of trust to exist and I am glad they have won it and proved to k or what they are doing. Their taper is the best in the country and the luxurious facility and food is just an add on. I would recommend anyone and everyone choose summerhouse, because there, you are treated like family. They clearly are in business to save lives, not for the money. If you let them guide you and trust them fully with complete honesty, you have a 100% chance of recovery. Thank You sumner house. They've saved my life and my husband's. I would recommend this facility to EVERYONE. read more

In the middle of one of the most difficult times in my life I knew I needed help from my severe alcoholism. I knew I needed to go to a detox facility. I went to summer house not knowing what to expect but they ended up saving my life. I have to say Burt went above and beyond also in every step of the way. The staff there always made sure I was comfortable and treated me with respect. Christina was always there to listen to me and was awesome. They have nurses available 24 hours and that gave me peace of mind during my detox process. They have a chef that prepares 3 meals a day and the food was always great. They have a snack room filled with unlimited snacks. The facility was clean and the rooms were really nice. They had someone who cleans the Rooms daily. They also help you guide you in the right direction for treatment afterwards. The staff knew what I was going through and had a lot of empathy. I felt like I was in a resort during my detox. I would definitely recommend Summer house to anyone who needs help. read more

Mom from NC. I appreciate your concerns. Summer House has been doing detoxes in So FL. for 22 years, a majority of the patients come from long established treatment centers. Summer House does a "blind detox" meaning you will not know substances or amounts being titrated. Suboxone is the most popular and an excellent detox drug with one draw back, you have to wait 24 hours from last opiod use. This results in irritable patients going into uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. Many cannot tolerate the wait and AMA, and nothing positive can come out of an AMA. We use a short acting liquid opiate, which we can lower the dose and safely transfer the patient onto the subutex, without the fear of them getting sick. The industry standard for opiate detox is 7 days. If there was release of information signed, his doctor would be authorized to know what the patient received. Perhaps if you contacted Summer House, you could get to bottom of what happened. I sincerely hope your son is doing and getting his life together. read more

I have had the unfortunate circumstance of dealing with addiction/recovery for years. I have attended far too many detox and treatment centers ranging from California, Ohio, Nebraska and now the Miami area. Without a doubt and bar none, Summer House has been the most respectful, well organized, professional and helpful of each facility I have visited. They left me with a detailed recovery plan (and hope for the future) utilizing counsellors, administrators, behavioral technicians and even cooks. I could name 10 people but will specify Chris, Christina, Dennis and Burt as integral to my comfort and exposure to recovery. Many, if not all, are recovering themselves so this is an amazing part of the organization. I have often left facilities with a feeling of hope but in this case, it is amplified with a plan and thoughtful, written details for my immediate future. I thank all of those who work there and are so special to so many trying to fight this disease and become better members of society. read more

I have attended several detox rehabilitation facilities in the several states including several in Florida. It is no coincide summer house has been in the business of assuring addicts a safe transition into sobriety for over 20 years. Staff are incredibly attentive, aware, and empathetic to the process of detoxification and transition into permanent sobriety. You will be treated as a human in comfortable condition. Summer house understands addiction is a diagnosable medical condition and wi provides top level nutrition,Nurses constantly monitor vial signs to ensure the complicated process of alcohol/drug detoxification is safe and as painless as possible. I would recommend any friend, family member, or strange on the street who has grown sick and tired of drug and alcohol abuse to seek out the assistance of Summer House. read more

Finding a decent detox in south Florida has been a struggle. Admitting you have a problem and need help is an entire battle on its own. The admission process with Jordan was a breeze and the facility provided transportation from the hospital. Which means so much to me considering the condition I was in. The meals here are delicious and if you are a vegan/vegetarian. They will accomadate you. TJ the tech here offered so much moral support when I wanted to give up it gave me the strength to keep going. The owners of this place really care of the patients and that is there main goal is patient satisfaction. The nursing staff is more than equipped to help nurse you back to your original self. Summer house is not a detox it is a family and I am more than happy for the choice I made coming here. read more

This is the only place I would go for detox!I was treated very well and always felt safe! I saw in some other reviews that people felt uncomfortable with the blind detox.I actually prefer it this way.If I know what I'm taking I automatically will think it isn't working.Most of the staff goes above and beyond!The food is FANTASTIC! I love that nothing is forced but still an option ...Activities,meetings ect....They always provide a plan to help you be successful when you leave.The cleaning staff is great! Just like any other establishment you will find some staff and nurses more compassionate and helpful than others.Overall a very good experience for a challenging time in my life. read more

I myself went to Summerhouse 2x and the staff was very courteous and caring. Administration made me aware of all options of treatment that would work within my insurance and helped me decide what the right fit for me would be with no pressure to attend somewhere specific. The chefs made delightful meals daily and they were very nice as well. The nurses tended to me like I was a personal family member to them and that's the feel throughout the facility on every leve from the drivers to administration! I'm proud to say that I went there and also proud to say that with there help of helping me treatment plan as well I'll be celebrating 5 years (god willing) in may 2018 read more

I will forever be grateful to Summerhouse. I had some sober time and unfortunately relapsed but immediately called Summerhouse before it got too bad and they got me in immediately and now I'm returning to my AA room and program. The entire stay was an absolute gift. I was treated with kindness and love. Everyone was so kind from Burt who facilitated my admission along with Jordan to all the nurses who oversaw my treatment meds to Cristina and TJ and everyone else. And of course the cleaning staff. My thanks to all for giving me an opportunity to start again. You are all very loved. Thank you from my heart. read more

This is a great place to detox. I have been in recovery for 15 years and to several places and would choose to come here over the others I have attended for the following reasons: Its not too big, the detox meds make it comfortable, the staff is extremely friendly and caring, the food is good, the place is clean. Special thanks to one of the staff members Christina....she really put in the effort to make sure we were all comfortable, and is the type of inspirational woman that makes me want to be a better person. read more

I can't express the gratitude I have for this detox center. After a failed medical detox in Arizona, I decided to fly to Miami to come back to summer house detox because it was the only place that did it right. The food is amazing and the staff truly cares. Nursing makes sure you are comfortable during your entire detox process and they provide multiple options for aftercare. Would recommend this detox to anyone who is unsure of where to go. read more

This has been the most therapeutic experience- the staff is so caring and patient- seriously. Detox is always difficult in truth it's painful but this place is clean and the medical staff is there for round the clock care. Most important though is that they help provide AFTER care options based on my needs. Not just here you go out. No they seem to know all levels of care and provide options for real recovery. God Bless this place. read more
