My experience is unique to me. In the past, I attended treatment centers that did not prioritize mental health. I wanted to understand the underlying issues that led to my alcohol addiction, recognizing that my dependency was a symptom of deeper problems.
At Caron, I had the opportunity to focus on my body, mind, and spirit. They provide excellent support for mental health, offer LGBTQIA programs, and have a fantastic gym, along with chapel services. These resources allowed me to learn more about myself and serve others. The freedoms they offered helped me discover my identity and work towards becoming the best version of myself.
I focused on my personal growth more than ever at Caron, thanks to their supportive environment, knowledgeable staff, and dedication to bringing out the best in me.
I want to emphasize once more that the staff is truly life-changing.
This is my experience: if you genuinely want to end the pain and suffering of addiction, Caron has the facilities, tools, and human connections that can help address the challenges of addiction.
BTW, considering I am a professional photographer, I had the opportunity to tap back into my creativity by capturing the the surrounding landscapes and historic architecture which also included a trip to a nearby lake.
Recovery is possible, period.
My time at Caron was simply amazing—and transformative in the most grounded, human way.
What distinguishes Caron is not just clinical excellence, but the integration of care: medical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual, all delivered with rigor and genuine compassion. The staff consistently demonstrated a rare combination of professionalism, presence, and lived understanding. Nothing felt performative or rushed; the work was real, and it was respected as such.
The environment fosters safety, accountability, and clarity—conditions that make honest self-examination possible. Caron does not impose a one-size-fits-all approach; instead, it meets individuals where they are while still holding a high standard for growth and responsibility.
I left with more than sobriety tools. I left with perspective, structure, and a renewed sense of agency. For anyone seeking treatment that is both deeply humane and clinically sound, Caron sets an exceptional standard.
I am profoundly grateful for the experience.
Caron’s PHP is worth every penny. The program itself, is well-designed and educational. The professional staff are experienced, supportive and genuinely caring.
The residential accommodations are comfortable and clean. The food (3 meals each day) is plentiful and delicious. The dietary staff can cater to anyone’s needs.
The location is beautiful, if you enjoy the outdoors—lots of trails, trees and hills.
After a week of blackout, residents are free to leave campus (using their own car if they have one) when there is no programmed time.
I profited and actually enjoyed my time at Caron PHP.
I will forever be grateful for Caron and its dedicated staff whom helped me embark on my journey of recovery. They saved my life and offered me a better, softer way to live. My experience was life-changing and I do not hesitate recommending them.
The AMAZING staff at the Caron Foundation facility in Del Ray Beach truly saved my sons life. As of tomorrow, he will have been sober for one full year!! The treatment at Caron surpassed all of his and my expectations. He had been in several rehabs over many years, and they would assist in helping him to get sober but after 15 to 30 days, out he went. The reasons for his continued addiction was never addressed. At Caron, the program they offer is life changing. Not only did they help get him sober but FINALLY the reasons behind the addiction were brought out front and center. The staff's ability to guide and push when needed to help get at the root of the origin of his addiction was our answer. We know he will struggle each day but going from where he was, on the street, homeless, to where he is now, brought him back to his family. We truly went years not having the knowledge to help. The staff at Caron , not only helped my son , but helped me. We went to visit him a few times while he was in treatment and the staff were beyond accommodating, along with their kindness and compassion for what they do, with each patient. I would highly recommend the Caron Treatment Center for anyone or any family hoping to have their loved one back .
