I’ve been to 7 different rehabs. The experience here is more personalized to your actual needs. They take the time to make sure you are being held accountable. They allow you to have your cell phone as well which kept me in contact with my family.

I would like to thank Transformations by the Gulf and especially Sandy for saving my son Kevin life. She has been there helping us for several years and has made a big difference with her understanding and guidance. My son is now back to teaching and helping others with addiction. Sandy has been able to get my son back from the edge many times and has showed him the way back to a productive and meaningful future. I fully recommend Transformations by the Gulf to help with a substance abuse.

They don't provide food, or meals. You get a weekly allowance to shop and make your own meals. So, why that is being rated is irrelevant.

Review from Rehabs.com

I called Transformations when my wife was in crisis, and in need of detox and treatment, when I did not know where to even start. Sandi answered my phone call, and guided me through helping her physically and helping me to persuade her to get professional help. My wife was scared of what kind of facility she would end up in, and it was not easy. Sandi kept calling me to check up on our situation while making all of the arrangements for her detox at a magnificent resort-like detox facility. When we arrived all of the arrangements had been made and we were greeted by wonderful and friendly staff. She was transported to Transformations by the Gulf for rehab, where she was amazed by the luxurious facility and comprehensive treatments (not to mention great cuisine). My wife is now sober and has a completely new perspective on life, and she is happier and more full-of-life than I think I have ever known her to be. She has a genuine relationship with the staff there even now. I want to thank Sandi for helping us save her life, and for the rest of the staff that took a personal interest in her recovery. I can’t imagine a better place to go when you or someone you love is in need of addiction rehabilitation.
