“The staff is made of the most compassionate, kind, knowledgeable, warm, available, and trustworthy people, some have had the shoe on the other foot. They create a professional, safe, clean and welcoming environment. They always treat you kindly, while still maintaining a healthy space, so you can truly relax and become vulnerable and start healing your wounds. You will be respected and they care about you sincerely. Please come, I was sad to graduate from their program.”

“I have been in the recovery community of South Florida for a couple of years now, and I believe Immersion to be the best option for those struggling with addiction. It is an (unfortunately rare) ethical South-Florida treatment center run by good people. Their approach to treatment, and of utilizing the 12 steps in a residential environment gives patients a better chance to succeed than if they chose to go anywhere else. This makes all the difference. I wasted a lot of time trying to recover without the 12 steps— Immersion doesn’t allow you to fail that way. I have been extremely impressed by Immersion’s facilities, clinical approach, and network of alumni & staff in the South Florida recovery community. I would highly recommend sending your loved one to this place.”

“Stephanie Pittaro is one of the best speech therapists I have had the pleasure of working with. The care she shows her clients is uniquely designed to show her skills and expertise to help them excel in their journey. Her ability to better the lives of children at such an impressionable age is very much appreciated. Honestly she can provide speech services to anyone. She has so much patience and dedication to really to help others. I would recommend her services to everyone in need of quality support that is one of a kind.”
