If you or someone you love is struggling with substance abuse or addiction, the first conversation matters. At Recreate Life Counseling, addiction counseling is woven into every level of care we offer in Boynton Beach, from the moment you reach out through long-term alumni support.
We are not a one-size-fits-all program. Respect for our clients’ core values fuels everything we do, and we believe people are far more likely to achieve and stay in recovery when treatment is built around who they actually are. That’s why every client at Recreate Life works with licensed counselors who take the time to understand their history, their goals, and the life they want to rebuild.
If you are ready to talk, we are ready to listen. Our admissions team is available around the clock and will walk you through your options without pressure.

What addiction counseling looks like at Recreate Life
Counseling is the backbone of recovery, and at Recreate Life it is integrated into every program rather than offered as a standalone service. When you work with one of our addiction counselors, you can expect:
- A thorough clinical assessment to understand the substances involved, any co-occurring disorders, and the social and family factors at play
- An individualized treatment plan that reflects your goals, not a template
- One-on-one counseling sessions focused on the specific challenges you are facing
- Group therapy with peers who understand what recovery actually feels like day to day
- Family education and involvement for all family members, because addiction rarely affects only one person
- Coordinated care across our medical, clinical, and case management teams
- Relapse prevention planning that you take with you when treatment ends
Our substance abuse counselors and clinicians hold Florida licensure and credentials as addiction professionals and mental health providers, and many have lived experience that informs the way they show up for clients. We treat alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, stimulant use, benzodiazepine dependence, polysubstance use, and the trauma, anxiety, and depression that so often accompany substance use disorders.
Levels of care that include addiction counseling
The right level of counseling depends on where you are in your recovery. Recreate Life offers a continuum so that as you progress, your care can step down without ever having to start over with a new team.
Residential Inpatient Rehab provides 24-hour care in a structured environment, ideal for clients who need to step away from triggers and focus fully on early recovery.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers full-day clinical programming with the ability to return home or to recovery housing in the evenings.
Day and Night Treatment bridges residential and outpatient care, combining intensive therapy during the day with supported sober living at night.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed for clients balancing recovery with work, school, or family while still needing several counseling sessions each week.
Recovery Residences provide structured, peer-supported housing for clients in PHP or IOP who benefit from a substance-free living environment.
Alumni Program keeps you connected to your counselors, support groups, and recovery community long after formal treatment ends, because lasting wellness is built over years, not weeks.
Why Boynton Beach families choose Recreate Life
South Florida has no shortage of treatment centers, and we know choosing one is overwhelming. A few things set our approach apart:
Accreditation and licensing you can verify. Recreate Life is accredited by the Joint Commission, licensed by the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and the Florida Department of Children and Families, LegitScript certified, and a member of the Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR). These are not just logos. They are independent confirmations that we meet clinical, ethical, and operational standards and core competencies. We encourage you to verify each one.
Highly individualized treatment. Two people with the same substance of choice can have completely different paths into addiction and completely different paths out. Our counselors build plans around the individual, not the diagnosis.
A continuum, not a single program. Many clients begin with residential care, step down through PHP and IOP, transition into recovery residences, and stay involved through our alumni community. You do not have to keep starting over.
Genuine local presence. We serve Boynton Beach, Delray Beach, Lake Worth, Lantana, Wellington, and the surrounding Palm Beach County communities. Our team understands the local recovery community, the sober support meetings in the area, and the resources that help clients stay connected after treatment.
Insurance and paying for treatment
Cost should not be the reason someone does not get help. Recreate Life works with most major insurance providers, and our admissions team will verify your benefits confidentially and explain exactly what is covered before you commit to anything. We also work with families on private-pay arrangements when insurance is not an option.
A short conversation with our team will give you a clear picture of what your treatment would actually cost, what your insurance covers, and what options exist if there is a gap.
What to expect when you reach out
The first call is a conversation, not a commitment. Our admissions counselors will ask about what you are dealing with, answer your questions, verify your insurance if you would like, and help you decide whether Recreate Life is the right fit. If we are not the right fit, we will help you find a program that is.
From there, the path typically looks like:
- A confidential phone or video conversation with an admissions counselor
- Insurance verification and a clinical pre-assessment
- Coordination of travel or transportation to our facility
- A full clinical assessment on arrival and the start of your individualized treatment plan
- Ongoing counseling, group therapy, and family involvement throughout your stay
- A clear step-down plan and connection to our alumni community as you transition out
Take the first step
Reaching out is often the hardest part. Whether you are calling for yourself or for someone you love, our team will meet you where you are, without judgment and without pressure. Recovery is possible, and it is built one honest conversation at a time.
