Your unwanted behaviors concern your friends, family, co-workers and others.
However, we understand that YOU are suffering, and what YOU need is real relief from the
painful feelings that caused the unwanted behaviors in the first place.
That’s what makes us different. It’s why we can help.

J.P.D.CEO, Empower LLC
My experience at Empower was both life and soul-saving. My experience with 12-step programs was that I found them to be demeaning and condescending. At Empower I found people who not only cared about me as an addict, but also strived to know me as a whole, complex person with unique issues, strengths, and weaknesses – someone who was not ‘just another addict like everyone else.’ I felt understood and respected as an individual at all times. They allowed me to work on my sobriety with their dedicated team without the undertone of resentment and frustration, which I found complicating all the previous 12-step treatments I was forced into. My sobriety these days is rock-solid and I can unequivocally credit Empower for a large and critical part of my recovery.

Empower saved my life. Truly everything I have learned here has helped me cope and be secure with myself and what I can believe in. The structure here is perfect. The staff is the most amazing, helpful and caring people that I have ever met. It is not about beliefs, it is about believing in yourself. I could of never done it without Empower’s help. I would recommend this treatment center to anyone in the world. It is just a place you can better yourself and learn to love who you really are.

C.D.Massachucetts, USA

Well I came in for a court ordered third DUI, and found out that drinking really wasn’t the main problem or root of my behavior. It was deeper than that. Empower has helped me understand how to channel my thought pattern to make wiser decisions for myself, family and business. Thanks to all staff members.

H.C.Florida, USA

Being at Empower was an unbelievable experience. I have learned things about myself that I might not have otherwise ever known. Empower has been such an amazing gift to me, and from those I have met, so many others as well. I wish everyone could experience this at least once in their lives. It doesn’t matter whether you are an addict, suffer from depression, or are just soul searching, Empower is a blessing for anyone.

M.J.New Jersey, USA

I resisted treatment for my PTSD/Depression. But, after a year or so of self-medicating and lying in bed for most of the day, I realized I needed help. I found help through the unique treatment at Empower It is a perfect balance of structure and freedom. All of the staff is warm and friendly. I feel mentally and physically ready to return home. I believe anyone could benefit from the practices taught here. It is not just for addictions, but for general mental health. It is with some sadness that I leave this haven today, but life has been patiently waiting for me to return.

L.M.Florida, USA

Empower has been a blessing to me. Since arriving here I have felt nothing but love from all of my fellow clients as well as the staff. I think the biggest help for my success as well as my new found spirituality has been the effort that the staff members put into each individual so that we were comfortable and all of our needs were met. This is a very safe environment which allowed me to expose my inner most emotions and change the perceptions that have kept me sick for most of my life. I now have a completely new meaning to my life and strong convictions of starting over. Thanks Empower.
