Clearwater Man Finds Path To Long Lasting Sobriety at WhiteSands Alcohol And Drug Rehab

Clearwater, FL -WhiteSands Alcohol And Drug Rehab helps clients continue to succeed in long-term sobriety even after completing an addiction treatment program. Recently a Clearwater man named John attended their residential inpatient treatment program and found a unique environment that helped him recover from the life-threatening disease of addiction. After graduating from WhiteSands’ program, John left the rehab center a glowing 5-star review on Google.

“Very pleased with WhiteSands! Not only did they get me on the right path, they made me feel as comfortable as I could,” he said.

At WhiteSands, great care is taken to ensure patients’ comfort during their stay in rehab. Upon opening their doors in 2014, WhiteSands' founders set out to transform the addiction recovery experience. “Treatment and recovery are much more likely to occur when patients feel comfortable and supported in their environment,” said co-founder and CEO Garry Jonas.

In addition to receiving a higher standard of care and a greater degree of comfort, WhiteSands patients report also report better long-term sobriety rates. There are multiple ways WhiteSands provides a more productive rehab experience.

Therapy sessions are scheduled five times per week, whereas the industry standard is just one hour each week. The center also maintains a lower staff-to-patient ratio so patients receive more one-on-one attention. This also translates to smaller group sizes and more opportunities to participate in group therapy sessions. WhiteSands also employs its highly qualified clinical staff full-time, which means better continuity of care, a better overall patient experience, and better overall patient outcomes.

WhiteSands offers a unique treatment program that’s personalized for each patient. Often, treatment centers don’t recognize the underlying disorders or motivations that drive addiction. With WhiteSands’ dual diagnosis treatment program for clients with underlying mental health disorders, patients can uncover and heal the root causes of their substance abuse, thus building a solid foundation for recovery.

Patients’ comfort during their stay is also strongly correlated with recovery success. The ability to focus and absorb new information is bolstered when people feel calm and content in their surroundings. They are more willing to open up and engage in therapy in meaningful ways.

To foster patient comfort, WhiteSands offers large private rooms with private bathrooms and satellite TVs in each room. In the evenings, patients can use cell phones and laptops to stay in touch with family and friends. A state-of-the-art athletics complex and a boxing gym are available on the premises, along with personal training by professional athletes. The main campus spans 10 acres, and it includes a pool, basketball course, and beach volleyball courts.

“The facility is updated and clean. The staff is extremely helpful. I highly recommend this facility,” said John.

WhiteSands rejects the old institutionalized approach to rehab. Instead, the company’s founders and their staff put focus all their efforts into helping clients have the most positive and impactful treatment experience possible. This means providing patients with vital life skills and coping mechanisms that will help them better function in everyday society. When patients can navigate day-to-day life with confidence and reassurance, they have a much better chance at sustained sobriety.

Newsweek magazine placed WhiteSands in the number one position on their annual list of the best addiction treatment centers in Florida in 2020 and 2021. The alcohol and drug rehab continues to live up to this ranking by providing transformative addiction treatment programs.

WhiteSands continues to create paths towards lasting sobriety for patients, a fact that is echoed in hundreds of 5-star Google reviews like John’s.
