A traditional 30 day treatment model is also known as the "Florida model".  This approach consists of providing treatment services in a facility such as a strip mall, office building or store front. Residents are typically housed in nearby rental communities or condos and are shuttled back and forth between 12-step meetings, clinical services and residences. Transportation is in the all too familiar "white vans" and programs are traditionally 30 days and extremely costly. Just as residents begin to become comfortable in their surroundings they are moved to another different locale for sober living. Many elite centers claim to provide a "continuum of care" however, unfortunately few are able to substantiate this and addicts and alcoholics newly in recovery increasingly experience chronic relapses following this model. The vision for the Florida House Experience was to combine the best possible clinical treatment with the traditional twelve step philosophy all on a sober living campus where residents would have the opportunity to engage and interact in a community from intensive treatment to independent sober living; a campus that would become a "nest" or "sanctuary" as they learn the life skills and tools necessary to maintain lasting sobriety.

The Florida House Experience is much more than a treatment facility, it consists of several unique elements that set it apart from other facilities. It features The Room, a 12 Step meeting room on campus that allows residents to attend meetings and providing a sense of community to all members of the Florida House community. Guest speakers are invited to participate and chair meetings and this creates an opportunity for residents to begin to build relationships with recovering individuals in the local South Florida community. Another addition, JoJo's Café, provides an atmosphere for clients to socialize in a healthy and positive environment. With outstanding food and service it has quickly become a gathering place not only for the sober community but the general public at large. These two features allow the Florida House to be a welcome neighbor and maintain a positive relationship within the surrounding community. With a better understanding of what the Florida House Experience is, how does it relate to client care? Just as the physical location and campus style sober living takes care of residents' physical needs the Florida House Experience provides a series of innovative treatment modalities that accommodate all the psychological, clinical and medical needs of clients as they begin their journey into recovery. The multi phase gender specific programs guides clients from admission all the way to independent living.
