Clinical Care That Respects Individual Needs
WhiteSands Fort Myers offers a full continuum of care while respecting patients as adults. The facility blends medical detox, residential care, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and sober living on one campus. Patients retain access to personal electronics and the internet during off-hours, easing anxiety and allowing them to stay connected with work, family, or school while focusing on recovery.
Resort-Style Comfort With Wellness Amenities
Residents live in private rooms with flat-screen TVs and personal bathrooms. The campus is designed to promote both relaxation and participation, with swimming pools, basketball courts, fitness areas, and inviting outdoor spaces. Patients can also access a range of wellness services, including massage therapy, chiropractic care, salon treatments, and yoga, all intended to support physical healing and emotional balance.
Low Dropout Rates and High Engagement
Unlike many facilities where patients may leave against medical advice (AMA), WhiteSands reports an unusually low AMA rate. This may reflect the program’s combination of structure and autonomy as well as a welcoming environment where patients feel comfortable staying engaged throughout treatment.
Practice for Life After Treatment
WhiteSands’ care integrates real-world skills, honed through daily visiting hours, group outings to bowling alleys and beaches, and other sober recreational events. These experiences help patients practice socializing and enjoying life without substances while still under clinical supervision, easing the transition to long-term sobriety.
Full Continuity of Care, Including Affordable Sober Living
After completing inpatient care, many continue into PHP, IOP, and sober living — allowing for stable, step-down transitions within the same facility. Sober living is structured yet affordable, with transportation assistance, goal setting support, and drug testing to support long-term recovery.
Consistently Strong Patient Feedback
Reviews consistently highlight the warmth, professionalism, and personal investment of the staff. Patients often describe the program as life-changing, citing the blend of comfort, mutual respect, and strong clinical support that allows them to stay fully engaged in their recovery.
