About this Recovery House
The Recovery Team is a women's recovery residence at 509 US Highway 1 in Lake Park, Florida, in Palm Beach County. Lake Park sits on the Intracoastal Waterway just north of West Palm Beach, the county seat, and the residence serves women in early recovery.
A Women's Recovery Home on the US Highway 1 Corridor
US Highway 1 runs the length of Florida's east coast, and through northern Palm Beach County it is the spine that connects Lake Park to North Palm Beach, Riviera Beach and West Palm Beach. Palm Tran runs the corridor. A women's residence sitting directly on it means a resident can reach outpatient care, a job and a meeting on a bus that stops near her door, which is a larger factor in whether a placement holds than most of what appears in a brochure.
Women's Recovery Housing in Northern Palm Beach County
Most of Palm Beach County's recovery housing sits south of West Palm Beach, in Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and Lake Worth. Lake Park is north of that concentration. For a woman whose using history is tied to the southern corridor, or who has family or a job in the northern part of the county, the geography is the point. Lake Park is a small municipality of roughly nine thousand people, and a residential setting inside a town that size is a quieter proposition than a house in the middle of a recovery district.
Housing Attached to a Treatment Organization
The Recovery Team is a licensed treatment organization with locations in Florida and several other states, and its Florida footprint is in Palm Beach County. Housing run by a treatment provider generally means the clinical schedule and the house schedule are set by the same organization, and it also means the credentials need to be sorted carefully. A treatment license covers a clinical program. It is a separate thing from certification of a residence, and neither one implies the other.
Certification and Florida Recovery Residences
Certification of recovery residences in Florida is voluntary and runs through the Florida Association of Recovery Residences, which the Department of Children and Families approved as the state's credentialing entity for residences. Certified houses disclose fees and rules in writing before move-in, keep a documented relapse and discharge policy, and accept complaint review from outside. Ask the operator what the fee covers, how long a typical stay runs, whether a manager lives on site, and how the house handles medication prescribed for opioid use disorder.
