About this Recovery House
Sunlight Recovery Center is a coed residential recovery program in Boca Raton, Florida, in Palm Beach County, offering medical detox and residential treatment on site alongside outpatient levels of care.
Licensed Residential Detox and Treatment
The Florida Department of Children and Families licenses Sunlight Recovery Center's residential program and its inpatient detox program separately, and both licenses are current. People live on site during detox and through the residential phase of treatment, which is what places this program inside the same category as a recovery residence even though it operates as a licensed clinical facility.
A Full Continuum in One Location
Beyond detox and residential care, the program offers intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization levels, which lets a resident step down through less intensive care without changing providers or losing the relationships built during the earlier, more structured phase of treatment. That continuum is a meaningful convenience compared with a program that hands residents off elsewhere once detox ends.
Boca Raton in the Palm Beach Recovery Market
Boca Raton sits at the southern end of Palm Beach County's dense recovery corridor, within reach of Delray Beach's concentrated recovery community and West Palm Beach, the county seat. Glades Road, where the program sits, is one of the city's main east-west corridors, connecting the property to Boca Raton's medical and outpatient services without much travel.
A Clinical License, Not a FARR Residence Certification
A DCF facility license like the one Sunlight Recovery Center holds is a treatment license, distinct from certification of a recovery residence through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences. Florida's residence certification is voluntary and covers a different kind of commitment: written disclosure of fees and rules and outside complaint review for a house where clinical care mostly happens elsewhere. A licensed treatment program and a certified recovery residence are two different credentials, and neither one should be read as the other.
Our sober living community provides outpatient treatment, ongoing recovery support, and after-care treatment for both men and women. Residents in our sober living program will attend 12 step meetings, yoga and meditation classes, recreational activities, employment assistance, career planning, medication management, and a variety of psychological services.
Resident housing consists of our newly remodeled homes that are just a few blocks away from our main campus. Each home features private rooms for members to focus on and study the spiritual tools provided by The Four Agreements, The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, The Power of Now, and Awareness.
