Summer House Detox

Contact Details

Thanks to all the staff at Summer House for helping me. The place itself is clean, the food great, and the staff is the most caring staff I have ever encountered. Special thanks to TJ for being so genuine and caring and helping me open up and cope. I highly recommend this place if you’re in need.

To all the staff at Summer House; administrators, techs, nurses, maids, and chefs, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of you. For three years I’ve been tied down to addiction, and coming into here day one, I truly believed I would end up leaving still wanting to use. I can proudly say that I’m finally starting to beat this disease! This is such a great program. There are so many opportunities here to try new things, to grow, and most importantly help me find myself again. For three long years of my life, every day, night, and beating moment was spent chasing something that is such a terrible illusion and something that so many people get trapped in. Being a drug addict is most definitely not a good thing, but I truly believe with all my heart that for whatever reason, my former drug use will make me a better person. I’ve experienced feelings within days that I have not felt for years. All those hobbies that I use to chase with a passion, that was numbed for so long by drugs, I’m starting to feel again. For the first time in years, I can truly say I love myself. I now wake up in the morning every day thanking God for every living breath I take on this earth. And I am ready to take my life to the fullest. I’ve regained my hobbies, my confidence, and more importantly myself. However, addiction is a disease. And with that knowledge, I know that this is only the beginning. I have a lot of work to do. But all of you have given me the chance to start on the right foot. It saddens me to see people in here twice, three times my age, people who have struggled a lot longer than me, been to treatment multiple times, and yet that drives me. Getting addicted to drugs at such a young age is such a terrible thing, but it’s also a good thing. Because I can beat this disease at a young age. However, I will always be an addict, but a recovering addict. All the opportunities that Summer House offers has completely changed my outlook on life. I’m excited, anxious, but I’m ready for the next challenge that comes ahead of me. Summer house has been a Godsend for me. Again, I cannot even express in words my deepest gratitude for everybody that has made this possible. I would highly recommend this program to anybody that is stuck in this terrible disease! And trust me, this won’t be the last you hear of me!

Very clean facility, with staff that cares! Tj took the time to explain how the recovery process works and what to expect in the beginning. He, along with other staff, shared their experience and through that I gained some hope and because of that I give a million thanks will forever be grateful!!

This place is top notch I can’t tell you enough how upscale they are from their nursing department down to their clinical staff ( Burt , tJ, Chris too many names...... except for an older tech we won’t mention his name and I understand some are stricter than others but he seems to bring his problems to work, however don’t let anything or anyone stop you from coming. Food , support, recovery this place is great comfort when you feel at your weakest. God def blessed me by finding this hidden treasure in the great state of FL!

Great place to seek a new start and opportunity. I have a close relative who went through and now works with summer house. Personally I can’t thanks summer house enough!!!! This place can bring hope to not only the patient but those around him/her.

I had been to summer house before and it was the only place that came to mind that I truly felt safe going through detox. This was the hardest detox I had been through physically and I want to thank all the techs, the therapists, the nurses and the admissions team for helping me physically and mentally through the process. I believe they truly made me as comfortable as possible there physically and mentally. I would like to thank summer house for allowing me to stay at their facility and I would like to especially thank TJ, Lucia and Michelle for looking out for me while at summer house and sharing their words of wisdom with me and doing there best to comfort me through a difficult time. I want to thank those people because I believe they did those things because they truly care about the patients not because they are obligated too or because any one is watching them or asking them too, I believe they do it out of kindness and understanding for people who are suffering. Summer House is a one of a kind place and they took my safety and the safety of the patients around me very serious and that was truly the deciding factor for me. The staff there works hard to keep you comfortable and make sure the patients there are in A good mindset and that all the patients as a group stay focused on their recovery and steer away from the wrong conversations or actions. These are things that make summer house special and the staff works hard to keep it that way. I need to give special thanks to TJ for looking out for me and talking to me when I was going through tough times. He’s definitely some one that stood out to me among the staff there and I hope the people there value some one like that. Thank you summer house for taking care of me in my time of need and I wish you and any one who seeks help there the very best and I’m extremely grateful for having the opportunity to go there and have a chance to get better. -Ian B.

It was my first time going through detox and I was very nervous a first coming into summer house. As soon as i walked through the doors they welcomed me with open arms and treated me like family. I was able to detox comfortably and also ate the best food made by the 5 star chef. I would recommend summer house to anyone wanting to change their life. I wish I could stay longer ! I was in a very bad place in my life before I came here and they helped me with whatever I needed and also helped find the right treatment center for me for after. Its an amazing place and the staff can all relate to you because they were once in our shoes. I will miss it here and love everyone that helped me while I was down . Thank You Summer House !

My cousin went to Summer House over 5 years ago, and recently received his 5 year coin. He is doing well and thriving in life. I am very proud of him and what he has accomplished, with the help of Summer House. The staff is very nice as well.

Great staff all across the board, everybody made my stay very comfortable. TJ, and Lucille were a great help and very caring. Food is great hospitality and also very good. I would recommend this place to anyone needing help!

My stay at Summer House was a very comfortable detox, The staff and the nurses were absolutely GREAT, whatever I needed someone was there to help. I couldn't have gone to a better place. What I went there for and came off of I have absolutely no cravings. MANY people should look into going there. I just want to thank the whole staff for everything they have done for me. Much appreciated, Thank You All.

Summer House is a wonderful place to get straight. The people that work here care very much about the clientele. The food is phenomenal and there is plenty of it. You get medicated to help you get off of your demon of choice, and it is brought to you every 4 hours by the nurses and the nursing station is open 24 hours. Very comfortable and relaxing place to start on your road to recovery. Which they will also help you arrange.

Summer House is an amazing place. The staff he treats you like family, not a client. For someone who has had to do this process multiple times I’ve never felt nothing but love and compassion when coming back, never any embarrassment or guilt ever. The staff here is definitely a special group of people with huge hearts, and an under standing what your going through. From the administrative and nursing the staff, to the kitchen staff, and techs. Especially TJ every time I come back he always has words of wisdom, and a hard huge heart. He has definitely guided me through some tough times, and is one of the main reasons that I do return when I am in need of there services. Not to mention the food and amenities are 5 star. If you need to choose a detox facility for you or a family member, and you want to make sure you or they need the best care then Summer House is definitely the place to go.

I went to summer house in 2015 and at first I didn’t know what to expect. This detox took great care of me, I had a comfortable stay for being detoxed.. The staff, which most were already in recovery, were beyond helpful and went above and beyond to help me as well as others stuggling with addiction. The food was incredible and they had great meetings brought into the detox as well as activities to help pass the time being in detox. I highly recommend this place. Great place overall. Thank you to all the staff at Summer House!

I went through Summerhouse detox in March 2015 and I just recently celebrated 3 years sober! My stay at summerhouse was very cozy with incredible food and a beautiful bedroom to rest. The staff members made a huge impact on my early recovery. Whenever I was going through tough emotions while detoxing, staff was always there to help me stay positive and keep pushing through. Their staff members understand the clients that come through the facility because most of the employees are in recovery, which was very comforting. I would recommend anyone struggling, even a family member to come here to start their journey.

If you’re looking for quality care as well as an amazing staff Of honest, hardworking individuals that seek only the best for their clients then Summer House Detox is the place. I would recommend this place to anyone that dealing with any substance abuse issues whether it be personally a family member or friend. It’s never too late to make a change for the better why not allow this amazing place to assist you in that change?!?!

Comfortable and cozy. Makes you feel less away from home in an already uncomfortable time. Staff is amazing and respectful. They have gone above and beyond for me over the years and have felt like my family. Compassionate staff was always there in times of need. Beds, bathrooms, and bedrooms over all are very clean comfortable and 5 star as well as the food. I never recommend anywhere else to detox.

Summer House is by far thee finest detox facility i have been to. Between the amazing cuisine and the staff that cater to your every need. They've treated me with the utmost respect. I was treated like a human being here due to the fact that they have been in my shoes before. I was always kept comfortable here and if ever needed to speak to anyone there was always someone available. The people that work here are the people that I call family now.

Summer house detox was the first detox center I ever went to. I’ve been to treatment before where they “detox” you in house but summer house was the most painless detox I have ever went through !! It so comfortable, beautiful view, great food, friendly staff. They genuinely care about you and your well being. Tj the one tech was so friendly and he kept it so real. He listened to you and gave great advice. Christina and Liz super friendly as well and are there for you. They all want what’s best for you, I didn’t want to leave ! 9 months clean today and summer house was the start of my journey into recovery! Thank you summer house !!

Summer House has saved my life. The staff is incredible, the rooms and ambience are nice and the food is delicious. I have been to other detox centers and none even come close to SH. The staff has become people I consider friends. I would highly recommend SH for anyone that is looking for help, in a dignified caring environment. They will also help find a long term inpatient facility for those that need it. 5 stars all the way!!

Summer House is the next best home, for those that have any addictions. The Staff is INCREDIBLE. The food is probably better than you prepare at home. They have a Chef and staff available 24 hrs, so there is Someone available, even if its just to talk. You will have a second home with All Staff and nurses and facility. Administration will always go the Extra, and double mile to assist in making arrangements for your stay! I don't want to give names of the Special employees, because I would have to list ALL of the Techs, Nursds, etc... Trust it you WILL NE NEVER REGRET coming to Summer House!

There is simply no place like this in the world. Because they feel like your worth it, only the best while you detox. Great rooms, 5 star chef(Not just saying this, he really is. The most kind and caring nurses, doctors, staff, from the top down. I should know, unfortunately, I have had call on them multiple times when I would fall down and my addiction would creep back in. I already thought they were the best, but they just keep finding ways to get even better. They treat everyone with dignity. Even when I've come crawling back. They will help you stand up and encourage you to hold your head high. One of the most important elements for me in selecting a detox was trying to find a place where they truly care about you and demonstrated this by providing the best for you. Summerhouse does this and even more. They understand how to detox you keeping you continually comfortable. The last thing I wanted was a luxurious place that cared deeply for you, but you felt horrible detoxing. With their signature "Advanced Detox Protocol," Summer House will meet your every need. You can trust me. I would have never gone back it wasn't everything I was hoping for. I hope you too will be fortunate enough to find your way to Summer House! Paul Anderson

During my stay at summer house, I was very comfortable. Very clean, and safe environment. Staff made me feel at home, I wasn’t pressured into anything I didn’t agree with. The food there alone is a reason to choose this place as your primary detox center in Miami. I didn’t have any urges to use the Drugs of my choice while I was there. Staff really seems to care about the patients, (OB) 😉

This place saved my life! From the staff that goes above and beyond any expectation I have ever had, to the comprehensive level of care that I received from first walking in the door. I owe Summer House a debt of gratitude that I feel can never be repaid.

This was the first detox I ever went to, and I'm so grateful I ended up here. The staff is great, they genuinely care about all of the patients and put the effort in to get to know every patient. I can honestly say that I wouldn't be where I'm at today if it weren't for the staff (TJ, Matt, Steve, Mikey, Burt) at Summer House. They didn't give up on me no matter how resistant and stubborn I was. The environment is comfortable and has the feeling like you are in your own home, which is something I preferred over feeling as if I was in an institution. My experience there was great and I highly recommend this detox over any others.

summerhouse detox is one of the best facilities that i have come across that helps people get sober with the least amount of discomfort as possible.They assist you on finding your way on the early journey of recovery. it is a professional place with great amenities.Their staff are highly trained and a pleasure to be around.One staff member in particular really goes the extra mile.His name is TJ. His compassion and caring is very apparent and his wisdom and knowledge of the recovery process makes one really pay attention and soak in as much as you can!! He has certainly made a lasting impression on me and for certain many others!!

With Summer House being my first detox center, I can honestly say it's been nothing less than excellent. The staff here are very welcoming and encouraging and they're always ready and willing to talk to you about whatever you're going through. I couldn't have asked for a better detox center.

Detoxing is never easy but thanks to the comfortable environment and staff it made the process easier and a special thanks and shout out to Tj for his caring and kind nature and talking me through my withdrawal.

I can not say enough good things about Summer House! What makes this place so amazing is the staff....no one makes you feel ashamed for having a disease, they go ABOVE & BEYOND to make you as comfortable as possible. They also offer meetings, yoga, thai chi, acupuncture, Jacuzzi time, a top of the line chef and much more...all at no additional charge! In short words...Summer house saved my life! Thank you to everyone involved....Jessica, TJ, Matt, Jesse, Sonya, Carol, Manny, Eric & many more...THANK YOU! There truly is no better place. I've never written a review and I just felt the need to share the word about how grateful I am for this new family and my sobriety!

My girlfriend had the blessing of a life time to be able to go to summer house detox. She was in the grips of her addiction and in a very low place in her life. She always says rofm the moment she walked in it was like a breath of fresh air. Everyone who works there was incredibly understanding and helpful and made her feel like she can change her life around. She had an unfortunate circumstance happen to her where the treatment center she was supposed to go to once she was done with detox denied her as a patient and the office worked extremely hard and within the hour found her a wonderful treatment center and transported her there immediately. There is one particular employee named TJ who made a tremendous impact in her life. She was having a tough night and wanted to go home and he stayed and spoke with her for hours until she finally made the right choice to change her life and stay and complete her program. I can't be anymore grateful for Summer house detox. It is an AMAZING facility.

This place is hands down the best detox facility, not only in South Florida, but the entire state as a whole. The staff are more than just workers, they actually show compassion, empathy, ad generally care about the clients. TJ, for instance, is one that especially comes to mind. From his highly verse movie collection he brings in for the clients to his wise words of wisdom. He could actually moonlight as a motivational speaker. They truly want there patients to beat this thing call addiction.

The staff is highly skilled, caring and compassionate, really help patients both medically and emotionally. The facility is very well equipped to meet the expectations and needs of every individual. The environment is calm and serene and the atmosphere is relaxed with all the facilities you need.

It's an amazing place with awe inspiring staff they keep You very comfortable and the staff members such as TJ and mikey for instance really extended helping hands and went above and beyond the duties of their job very grateful for the chance to go through here and meet the staff at summer house

There simply isn't enough space here for me to extol the virtues of Summer House Detox. The environment that greets you upon entering is one of non judgement and genuine caring, assuring that there is no better place to be. Offering activities such as yoga, meditation and tai chi are extraordinarily helpful during the process and the experience extends to furthering recovery upon leaving. The meals served are outstanding and at any time there's a large assortment of snacks and drinks more than anyone could want. Truly though, the distinguishing feauture including administration to medical staff to the amazing techs, is their family atmosphere, sincere compassion and dedication to your recovery. I am grateful everyday for my life changing experience at Summer House Detox.

Summer House Detox was truly amazing. I knew nothing about recovery before deciding myself to take the steps necessary to get the help for alcohol. My ignorance of recovery doesn't afford me the opportunity to compare Summer House to other detox facilities, but from all the men and women I've met in recovery since November 5, 2015, everyone has told me how fortunate I was to detox at Summer House. The staff is second to none. I still keep in contact with much of the staff and I was blessed to meet my sponsor two days into detox. As someone who cooks I can say that the meals were amazing, the beds were extremely comfortable, the behavioral tech's and medical staff were extremely patient, nurturing and available. Detox can be terrifying if you don't know what to expect, but the staff eased my concerns and started building my foundation of my new life in recovery. Summer House was the first place I ever attended a meeting. Most importantly it was the first place I said out loud that I am an alcoholic. The decision to get clean is one of the most life altering transformations a human being can make. The first step was admitting I had a problem. It was liberating to acknowledge that and Summer House afforded me the safe space to do so and taught me I am not alone. This Sunday November 5th I will have two years sober. Recovery is not a solo journey. This achievement, along with many others I've experienced over the last two years, is due in large part to the extended family I received at Summer House. Not to sound like a commercial, but if you or anyone you know needs help with addiction then you should truly consider summer house. You will not regret the decision. GIven how painful/terrifying/emotional the physical detox can sometimes be, you won't find many places that will make your experience more comfortable.

Best detox I've ever been too

This was by far the best detox facility I have ever been to. They bring you your meds as opposed to making you wait in long lines. The staff is friendly, and the food is top notch (not like I ate too much). I am not an employee. I have not been asked to write a review. I want people to know that this is the best place to go for a comfortable detox. Thank you Summer House!

This is simply the best detox I have ever been too, period!! I detox off alcohol and have had some serious health issues as a result of detoxing myself. Yes, they do medicate you pretty well. I was medicated enough to feel not sick and was weaned from the drugs over a period of 5 days. I paid cash as I did not have insurance and they let me stay an extra 2 days at their expense (I was not completed detoxed). Food is the best and the staff is better. The medical staff does listen to you and medicates you if requested. Probably not the best for someone who is not serious and just looking to get more and more medication. For myself it was just great. I left detoxed from alcohol and weaned from the medication I was given. Thank you Summer House!!!

When I first realized that I wanted/needed help I was searching for a detox facility and ended up in a hospital that provided detoxing . . .Personally for me, it was the WORST experience and therefore, a BIG failure. It was cold, impersonal, at times cruel, and very institutional feeling. Then, I found Summer House, A warm, caring, home environment where basically, I found my true self. It was almost like if you could imagine being really sick and tired and having your parents say come home, we will take care of you. Summer House provides a caring staff of professionals from the Counselors, Nurses, Doctors, Chefs, House Keeping, Techs and believe it or not, even the Owners are ALWAYS hands on with patients. I often stop by to visit and every time I walk through the front door I know that I was and always will be a part of the place that ultimately gave me the desire and strength to save my own life. I am truly grateful.

This place is one of the best detoxes i have been to. The staff are very friendly, they are there when you need to talk, and point you in the right path. Mike is very thorough with planning after care, he helped me out a lot.. i would recommend it to anyone.. Thank you to all the staff you are great.
