Caron Renaissance

I cannot say enough about Caron Renaissance. They have provided a service and an environment that has given my son the best chance of survival and success and just as important, provided the guidance to myself and family on how to create a family environment that will benefit EVERYONE in the family. The staff at Caron is caring and the most competent and professional group I have ever met. From day one my son was told exactly what was going to happen, we were kept in the loop and that constant caring and communication continues throughout the process. My son is still at Caron and doing well. He is on track to getting a job while continuing individual and group therapy. The Caron Renaissance model is built around caring for the individual as well as the family, while creating a support network in Florida to encourage patients to get back to a normal life. T

I am a alumni from Renaissance from 2014. This place gave me a opportunity of a life time offering me a scholarship to their treatment center which saved my life. The care and that you get at Renaissance is like no other. They know how to get to the root of the problem and give you all the tools to be able to get through it. I was a hopeless addict for a long time and now my life has completely changed. I am just very grateful and blessed to be given the opportunity to be able to go to Renaissance. I believe that if you want to get better or have a loved on that you want to get better there is no better place to get them the help they need!

Words really cannot express how much Caron renaissance has done for my family and I. It saved my life, which was doomed to be taken from drugs or alcohol, and began to repair my relationships with my parents, brother, and other loved ones. I was admitted to renaissance in May 2009 and stayed for 10 months. Although it was the hardest 10 months of my life, I am eternally grateful for my primary therapist and family therapist specifically, because they kicked my butt into gear and motivated me to change. I will be celebrating 7 years of sobriety in a little over one month and truly have a life beyond my wildest dreams, filled with happiness, health, and loving, supportive relationships with my friends and family. I really don’t know if I would be where I am today without Caron renaissance!

I’m an alumni and spent about 5 months at Caron Renaissance. Now that I’m on the other side and my life has drastically changed for the better it’s easy to give a 5 star review.
I’ve been to other treatment centres where they «love you till you can love yourself» but that wasn’t enough for me. The Renaissance treatment team helped me dig deeper than I ever though possible (or even wished to at times) in order to tackle the harder underlying issues. They didn’t let me get away with any of my lies or manipulation techniques (old addict behaviour) and pushed me to become a more humble and grateful person.
It wasn’t easy for me or my family and many times it was very unpleasant but it’s not meant to be a vacation.
Drug addiction is a horrible thing to go through for the entire family but with the help of Caron Renaissance everyone is in a better place now. I would trust them for anyone who really wants intensive treatment and needs to recover.

Great addition program — highly recommend. Therapist and staff very caring and there for you.

Caron saved my future. It was very hard for me at first because I was 18 and didnt think this should be happening to anyone my age. I got pulled out of a big college where I was having a lot of fun, but not focused on grades. My problems got worse with time and my family finally found Caron. The staff members are great. Although they sometimes can be hard on you, it is because they care a lot and they are trying to push you in the right direction. I finally have relationships with my family ive always wanted and my life is exactly where I want it, being the happiest Ive ever been. I still have strong relationships with the staff today. I definitley reccommend this place if you want to get your life back on track as well as rebuild your family relationships.

Can’t rave enough about this place. Their practices helped my loved one find peace and a life free from active addiction. Her life has become everything she wanted it to be because of the help she found here.

Caron Renaissance is by far the BEST treatment facility around. Not only did Caron Renaissance save my life, it has continued to support me in my recovery years later and even to this day.
One of the greatest attributes Caron Renaissance offers is support for the families. When I arrived at CR my family wanted nothing to do with me (and rightly so). The focus and support of the family is such a crucial piece of the puzzle, and the staff at Caron Renaissance understand this. Today I have a beautiful relationship with my wife, son, and mother, and I have the knowledgable and hard-​working staff at Caron Renaissance to thank for this.

Renaissance is amazing and I am proud to be an alumni. I could go on and on, but I do not want to ramble. Their approach to addiction is so realistic and incredibly successful. They helped my father with his struggles as well, and I will forever be grateful.

If only I could give NO stars. $ 40,000 per month and Ocean Drive $$ 90,000 month — without elaborating — a dear friend committed went to the terrible place — no one watching over patients and no one cares. All about $

The treatment model is one size fits all. Break you down and build you back up. May work for a lot of spoiled rich kids, for many others not so much. Incredibly focused on money to the detriment of everything else. The full program is closer to 9 – 12 months, don’t let them kid you. If you are over 30 you will be the oldest person there. Not recommended for functioning adults who actually have a job and a life. If you have made a career out of rehab, never had a meaningful job, relapsed often and have parents who can pay then perhaps this is for you. Relapse rate is high and long term success rate is around 13% which is not much higher than a 12 step program/​AA rate of 10%. In my opinion any success Caron Renaissance has is due to the 12 step component and not their Florida model treatment component.

My therapist revealed confidential information to my spouse «accidentally,» I was told I was «borderline» — a diagnosis no outside clinician agreed with. I am not sure the therapist at Renaissance believed it, since they often worked through manipulation. I have talked to alums of other rehabs. They were given information on addiction pathology, 12-​step recovery, and other things that would be useful afterward. Not Renaissance.
I left with little idea of how to keep myself clean and sober. However, two years later I went into therapy which worked. Now that a few more years clean have passed I realize what a disservice this place did for me.

«This is the worst place ever as an alumni of Caron rennaisance I can assure you this place is hell and they lie to you and say 3 months but its more like 6 all the other reviews of this place are from parents I was an actual patient this place was the least helpful if you want to help your kid send them to Caron pa which is an entirely different rehab model an is way more helpful for the patient rennasance is for people who have serouis behavior issues not drug addicts in need of help

I am the parent of a Renaissance patient. Our .son is coming home to visit this week after seven months at Caron. The amazing turn around is not what we would have thought possible even one or two months ago.
The change in our son is not only a result of the hard, uncomfortable, almost to the point of quitting pressure put on him, but changes we as a family have made. Our son is not the only one recovering from this terrible disease but the entire family is as well.
My wife and i put in several weeks of family restructuring learning the tools of how to deal with our son as well as working on our own issues. The staff at Caron was tough on us. We thought of leaving during the middle of our stay but stuck it out. We were very glad we did as looking back on the experience we know it really changed us and the way we will live our lives forever.
The experience reminds me of the sports adage, «no pain, no gain», if you don’t work hard you wont improve. The Caron staff can be very tough at times but they have they know what they are doing. Our son recently said «although this is something I really didn’t want to do I knew in my heart it was the right thing».
We know this disease will be something we will be fighting for the rest of our lives for the first time we really think we can win.
I cant say enough about the professionalism of the staff, their experience with addiction, their willingness to be tough and caring at the same time, Not an easy thing to do. I recommend their program, hope that newcomers can get through it as we have, and continue to use what they learned forever,
