Our Story

The Recovery Village Drug and Alcohol Rehab is part of the Advanced Recovery Systems nationwide network of addiction treatment facilities. Established in 2013 by Dr. Mitchell Eisenberg and Dr. Lewis Gold, Advanced Recovery Systems is an integrated behavioral health care management company dedicated to the treatment of addiction, substance abuse and mental health disorders.

Dr. Eisenberg and Dr. Gold first co-founded Sheridan Healthcare in 1994. Under their leadership, Sheridan Healthcare grew from a single local practice to a national company in 23 states. After retiring from Sheridan Healthcare, the longtime business partners recognized an urgent need for high-quality, evidence-based treatment for substance use disorders and underlying mental health conditions. They founded Advanced Recovery Systems to meet this need by delivering the highest quality of care to save lives and repair families.

Our Philosophy on Addiction Recovery

The Recovery Village Drug and Alcohol Rehab recognizes addiction as a mental health disorder. Therefore, our approach to treatment is the same way we approach any other mental health condition — by treating the emotional, mental and physical symptoms simultaneously while addressing the root cause.

We accomplish this by providing clients with access to addiction experts, personal treatment plans tailored to meet their needs, aftercare programs and other resources for longterm healing. We treat the whole person instead of focusing only on their addiction and we make sure to address underlying conditions that can contribute to substance abuse.

Our Core Beliefs

At The Recovery Village Drug and Alcohol Rehab, we believe in delivering safe, effective care to each patient that entrusts us with their health. We believe that:

• Anyone can recover from addiction
• Every patient deserves respectful, compassionate care
• Addiction is a disease that can be treated with evidence-based and research-backed care
• Treating substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously can lead to lasting healing
• Recovery is a journey that requires a lifelong commitment

“From the minute I called The Recovery Village, everyone I talked to was so kind and genuine and took the extra time to talk to me. You can tell they really care about people. My son was struggling for a long time, and they really went above and beyond what I would expect anyone to do in our situation. I can’t express how grateful I am. Thank you so much!” – Family member of a Recovery Village alumni

Our Editorial Team & Medical Reviewers

We know that dealing with substance abuse can be complex, emotional and uncertain. That’s why we work with an experienced team of medical reviewers, writers and editors to create, publish and share the most valuable, up-to-date and accurate information about addiction, treatment and recovery resources.

What Sets Us Apart

Our goal is to offer compassionate, evidence-based care to every patient we serve while providing them with the tools they need to heal and begin a lifelong recovery journey. The Weekly Recovery Compass program is one of these tools utilized as a part of a customized treatment plan. The Weekly Recovery Compass program helps identify and address potential setbacks in real-time by monitoring symptoms like depression, anxiety levels, sleep quality and substance cravings.

Your mental, emotional and physical health are just as unique and important as you are. Because no two clients are exactly the same, The Recovery Village Drug and Alcohol Rehab takes an individualized approach to patient treatment. Our skilled staff ensures patient safety while focusing on each client’s personal growth and healing.

“Substance use treatment is very individualized – Not every therapy works for every single person. You have to find what works for you. We help each patient figure out what options will help them be most successful.” – Rachel Rohaidy, MD, Medical Director at The Recovery Village Miami at Baptist Health
