Betty Ford Center – Naples

This program saved my life!!! I came in broken and am leaving pieced together with the tools I need to tackle my addiction and life in general. From the Tech staff (Dylan) to my Counselor (Matt) the nursing staff (Michelle)and to the entire community while is was there, thank you for giving me my life back. I will be forever grateful.

I'm really surprised that more people haven't left positive reviews! It was my first time in a rehab, and those who had been to multiple rehabs in the past, talked a lot about how much better Hazelden Betty Ford Naples is compared to any of the others they had been to.
It's a 47 bed residential program (they also offer IOP). I was there for just over 30 days and can't say enough great things. Obviously the most important thing is the recovery program. Top Notch!!
There was really only one facilitator I didn't like listening to...and we were in 4-6 different sessions every day! The counselors were all fantastic (you have YOUR counselor, and if you don't click with them, you can move to a different counselor. I only know of 1 person that did that, that's how great they all are)!
The finance mgr is amazing in helping you navigate through insurance and payments. The continuing care coordinator insures you are ready for discharge with all the resources you'll need once you leave (no matter where you live!)
You choose the groceries you want from a Publix list and cook yourself...I LOVED that, way better than the detox I came from where there was a cook and you got whatever they made. There's a large gas grill on the patio and you can use that whenever you want...which my roommates and I did!
The condos are nice enough. No private rooms. I cried for 2 hours when I got there because I couldn't imagine rooming with others, at my age. But, in true recovery from alcohol and addiction, it's exactly what you need to get over yourself. My roommate and I will be friends for life, and I left with phone numbers of at least 10 people that I considered friends and will definitely stay in touch with.
No surprise, there were clients there that I loved, and others I didn't, but you have the space to avoid those folks you don't want to spend time with. And again, once released, we all need to know how to handle the good and bad in sobriety and the setting was perfect for "practicing" both fellowship with those who understand what you're going through and of patience for the others, so you don't use again when you're faced with jerks "in the real world".
There were a lot of ups and downs while I was there, and looking back, the negatives were mostly me and my disease thinking and talking for me. If you leave too soon, you most likely won't have liked the place. If you stick out a full program, this is the place to go to get better, and to get all the knowledge and tools you'll need to be successful in sobriety!!

Hands down this place saved my life in so many ways. Every other rehab out there is designed to punish addicted people. This place is a therapeutic and professional environment that fosters real healing.
