What Our Clients, Their Families, and Clinical Partners Are Saying

“As a person that suffers from co-occurring disorders that require complex solutions to successfully treat, there are not many mental health centers equipped to handle my case. Some focus only on substances use, others only other psychiatrist conditions. Lifeskills’ individualized care has been the only treatment center that could treat me as an individual in these areas. They have given the chance that no other place has to live a meaningful and fruitful life, of which I am internally grateful for.”

– Grateful Lifeskills Alumnus

“My stay at Lifeskills has been very beneficial to my path in recovery. Starting with Dr. Nicole and Dr. Mirella at residential then Sheryl and Jason at PHP, this clinical team has helped me completely turn my life around. I am proud to say my relationships, way of life, and attitude have completely changed for the better and I owe it to Lifeskills for this change.”

“Excellent, comprehensive care for mental health. Really helped me manage symptoms that had once been debilitating with informative groups and empowering one-on-one support. The continuum of care is gradual and supportive. It's hard work, but if you really take advantage of all the program's opportunities, it pays off.”

– Grateful Lifeskills Alumnus

“Lifeskills is arguably the best treatment center in South Florida for those struggling with mental health issues. Lifeskills treated my sister and then myself a few years later. This treatment center saved both of our lives and taught us how to manage our mental health symptoms independently. I am proud to say that I now work in the field of addiction treatment and would not be where I am today without Lifeskills.”

“Lifeskills is an exceptional facility. The staff is professional and easy to work with. Dr. Despina was EXTEREMLY helpful getting my daughter to understand and accept her diagnosis while at Lifeskills. Thank you, Dr. Despina. The weekly meetings with the therapists with our family kept us informed about my daughter’s progress and to answer any questions or concerns. I found this extremely helpful. My daughter is now home, and she is finally compliant with taking her meds and attending therapy with a therapist that is right for her, thanks to the recommendation from Lifeskills. We finally feel we are on the right path to recovery. I am so glad we chose Lifeskills to help our daughter. She is definitely more like herself than she has been in two years.”

– Grateful Parent of a Lifeskills Alumnus

“I arrived after four suicide attempts, three of which took place within a single day. The last of which got me sent to the VA hospital in West Palm Beach who took the initiative to have me placed at Lifeskills. This place is a miracle worker. It took a fully broken man who couldn't see life ahead of him and gave him hope for the future. Everything here has a purpose, even if you cannot see it at the time. The staff is honestly amazing, full of highly qualified therapists, great techs, and community building that is truly next level. They saved my life. I strongly suggest Lifeskills to anyone who is struggling with mental health. They CAN change you too if you allow the program to work.”
