Trauma-Informed Treatment Plans
Care is adapted for each client’s individual needs based on a detailed assessment that includes trauma history and screening for co-occurring mental health conditions. Master’s-level clinicians help guide clients through therapies to address substance use alongside these issues. For veterans who need specialized care for PTSD and other service-related challenges, a Service Resiliency Unit (SRU) is available.
ThriveForward Program for Young Adults
The ThriveForward Program is tailored for the needs of young adults ages 19 to 26. Care plans for clients in this program are built around age-specific challenges like finding a career path, defining personal goals, developing coping mechanisms, and learning to thrive independently. For clients who are enrolled in college or other educational programs, staff can coordinate academic support. Additionally, young adults can be given scheduled time to complete school-related responsibilities alongside treatment.
Detox and Residential Care
When needed, clients can start recovery with on-site, medically supervised withdrawal management (detox). Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) can be prescribed to help ease cravings and withdrawal symptoms. Once stabilized, clients can transition immediately into residential treatment, where they participate in structured daily programming from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. This includes group therapy, one-on-one counseling, and family therapy sessions when appropriate. In the evenings, clients can use their personal electronic devices, relax and reflect, or spend time interacting with peers.
Outdoor Spaces and Recreation
Sabal Palms Recovery Center is set on a private 10-acre campus surrounded by trees, a lake, a river, and walking trails. During downtime, clients can enjoy a swimming pool and play volleyball, basketball, or tennis.

Quality and Trust
Trust Score
A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.
Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities
CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

How we research treatment facilities
Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.
Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:
- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.
- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.
- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.
- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.
Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.
How we evaluate treatment facilities
These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.
Important disclaimer
We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
