WhiteSands Alcohol & Drug Rehab Orlando - Orlando, Florida

Our sober living house is awesome! We have outings, like a comedy show, pool time, we recently went to the movies to celebrate one of our house mates birthday! The staff is really great, this is my first and last (fingers crossed) time in rehab, and the ladies that run our house are the best! They are very attentive and caring, if you don't know how to do something (ironing for example), they will teach you. Julie and Damaris are very kind and easy to talk to!
The house is warm and welcoming! I just can't say enough about how amazing these ladies are!

The one star is for the sober living itself not the IOP program they get 5 stars. Lyma is the best therapist I have ever had (which is saying a lot) and Amy is so helpful. The sober living is managed by Patrick. This man harassed me at work, when I was leaving work, and just about anytime he saw fit would leave me negative texts literally about room cleanliness. I had an excellent job at a Stem Cell Company and was doing quite well in IOP ask anyone. I was going to meetings and paying rent. This person (Patrick) ran me out of there w/ a whole 2 hours to leave or I was shelter bound. I went from being sober, happy, positive about life, to hopeless and homeless over a single argument that Patrick all but baited me into. It was pathetic, unprofessional, and could have been fatal as I ended up in a hotel room drinking myself to death. It was all I had since I just started working so get drunk go back to treatment or be homeless in Orlando were my 2 choices. Patrick alone did that. I hate to play the victim role but in this case I very much was.

The treatment center was great however the php aspect and the sober living after, which enforces IOP, is a bit of a different story. My rent is paid, I go to IOP and the meetings weekly yet I still feel like I can't relax in my current house due to the house manager here every day and texting daily.
I'm sober and my obligations are good. I feel like being out in the streets rather than being at the house isn't the way one should feel being fresh out of recovery.

White sands Orlando treatment center is amazing. The staff here really do care about your recovery and want to see you succeed. Damaris, Julie, Glenda, and Alicia have helped me beyond words. This program has a high success rate and i’ve seen people grow so much, along with myself. I would definitely recommend coming here or any of your friends/family members, to this nurturing community of people that help us all through some of the toughest times of our lives. I can’t thank White Sands enough.

The IOP program here is amazing, would highly recommend it to anyone continuing on in their recovery journey. Lyma is an awesome therapist, in the group setting and in one on one sessions. Amy is a really helpful case manager and will answer any questions you may have and point you in the right direction of resources to help you.

The men’s sober living on Concord Street is a really nice, supportive environment that’s conveniently located a two minute walk away from daily AA meetings. The house is run by Patrick and Glenda and they make sure you are well taken care of, make you aware of any and all resources available to help you get back on your feet, and really care about your success in your recovery.

I love it here at Whitesands sober living in Orlando. The staff here are amazing! Julie & Damaris go above and beyond to make sure our needs are not only met, but to help and guide us in our recovery. They make sure that we always have everything that we need, taking us to the store for things, as well as helping us look for jobs when we first get here. I absolutely love going as a group together to IOP and to meetings throughout the week. I really feel like we are all family here. ?

Over all I had a good experience. The food was decent, not amazing but I’ve had worse. Most of the staff was really awesome. My major complaint was my Therapist Meredith. She was the worst therapist I’ve ever had. She was impersonal, cold & in-compassionate. She was not interested in talking but focused mostly on a workbook that was not at all helpful. She told me on one occasion I made her feel uncomfortable when I looked at her because I could “see into her soul” whatever that means. My last day she attempted to gaslight & embarrass me in front of the classroom. She is an appalling therapist & person & I'm glad I never have to see her again.
