I had the pleasure of touring Tikvah Lake and spending time with several of the staff members. As a professional in the industry, it’s extremely valuable to know treatment programs and the staff implementing those programs. After a day and a half learning about Tikvah Lake I’m confident in sending clients there. I know they will be taken care of in every aspect from their hospitality team to their clinical team. They go to great lengths to treat each of their guests uniquely and individually in designing a treatment plan and meeting them where they are at. The accommodations are top tier and the attention to detail and care are impressive. Outstanding in what you do Tikvah Lake!
Tikvah Lake was life changing for me! No one wants to find their self completely broken by the stresses and tragedies that happen in life. But if you find yourself needing help, I would highly recommend Tikvah Lake.
It is a private facility on a beautiful lake in Sebring Florida. There are no more than six guests there at one time, affording the opportunity to have individual care.
The staff was top-notch! So Caring & thoughtful! Chef Ralph rocks that kitchen.
I worked with several therapists in group settings and in individual meetings. I don’t think I could’ve found any better care elsewhere. They have raised the bar high and have lived up to everything I could’ve hoped for.
But I got a rave about my man Zach. He was the first person to contact me and help me make all the arrangements. He’s the right man for that job. He is full of compassion & kindness. He made a very hard, emotional decision peaceful.
My time there changed my path to one of wholeness.
The best recovery center I’ve ever been to!!! They helped me change my life in the most positive way! The groups, the therapists, the clinical team, the directors & assessment team & a special shout out to the concierge team, who are with you through & through. The group we were there with will be friends for life as well. I can’t say enough about Lake Tikvah & Park Manor recovery! Go there & have a life changing experience!
My Experience at Tikvah Lake Recovery
I recently completed a 30-day stay at Tikvah Lake Recovery.
While I don’t have previous treatment experiences to compare it to, Tikvah fully met—and in many ways exceeded—my expectations.
Highlights:
• Exceptional Staff: The concierge and support team were first-class, consistently going above and beyond.
• Outstanding Therapists: I worked with two individual therapists, both of whom were incredibly skilled, insightful, and supportive.
• Whole-Body Wellness: Daily sessions with a personal trainer, yoga, massage therapy, and acupuncture contributed significantly to my physical and emotional recovery.
• Balanced Schedule: Tikvah provided valuable downtime for personal reflection, connecting with family, or even keeping up with light work responsibilities—something I greatly appreciated.
Things to Consider:
• Program Structure: I really just have one, though this was not a negative factor for me. If you are seeking a facility that schedules meetings or groups every waking hour (including weekends), Tikvah’s structure—which intentionally incorporates downtime—might not be what you are looking for.
A Personal Note:
During my stay, I made two serious mistakes within one week.
Katherin Wesley, Clinical Director, easily could have discharged me. Instead, she met the situation with compassion and grace—when we discussed what happened, she had tears in her eyes. She believed in me. She fought for me.
Looking back, I truly believe that one day—maybe even 20 years from now—I will say she saved my life.
________________________________________
In summary, Tikvah Lake Recovery provided a nice balance between therapy sessions, personal wellness, and free time for yourself.
I have been to many rehabs and this one by far has been the best I have ever experienced. From admission to after care the staff at Tikvah and Park Manor have went above and beyond for both my wife and myself. The space was immaculate and peaceful. All of my basic needs were taken care of so I could focus on my recovery, relationships, and spiritually. Every single staff member took the time and care to impact my life positively and will not soon be forgotten. I want to make a special mention to Zach, Katherine, Roosevelt, Deandra, Diane, Donielle, and Jimmy. We were able to do family counseling for my wife and I with Jimmy and he helped us to work through our relationship to foster the love and move past our resentments. I was able to develop my personal recovery plan and I left feeling prepared and full of gratitude. I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Anyone I love that struggles with mental health or addiction this would be my choice for them with out a doubt. I can't thank them enough.
