Operation PAR Inc – Sarasota

After 10 years of sobriety due to the help of this clinic only to be kicked out one morning without notice because of a miss communication with an EXTREMELY inexperienced new counselor and rude male staff. Not only did… they put my sobriety at risk ,but spread false rumors to other clinics.. I’m extremely concerned for anyone who thinks about going here for treatment. Aside from being terminated without reason the staff is very intimidating and counselors are inexperienced and they quit after 6 months as well as the Doctors. I’m devastated speechless and disappointed as I’m autistic ,bipolar, and suffer from PTSD,Severe Depression Severe Anxiety,Agoraphobia… hopefully I survive

I think they do a very good job, they are great treat everyone equal, very professional. Dave, Mike, Jamie, Shelby, Alana, April, Kevin all are very friendly and go above just dosing needs. They help solve problems on a… human level. They go far and beyond expectations

One of the best facilities in Florida with a outstanding staff an doctor. EVERYONE there is GREAT!!!

I first attended the Bradenton clinic have been attending par for 12 years and yes it seems they try to get you to go up in your dose because they are always asking how your feeling are you stable blah blah blah. But… they aren't twisting your arm after 12 years the most I went was to 115 during pregnancy and I'm back down to 60 MG by dropping 5 MG a week so I dropped 55 MG pretty fast. But I'm ok I didn't need to be that high I don't think any one does I think they just search for that high they used to get so they go up and up and up. I totally recommend this comic and the Bradenton one nurse's extremely friendly front counter girls amazing! They saved my life

I've just read a number of other reviews, & my overall feeling regarding the ppl who felt they were/are not being helped seem to have unreasonable, unrealistic expectations. Yes, they do random drug screening. They… aren't observed, unless u give them reason to be suspicious. & if u actually read the Patient Handbook before starting u'd understand that UA's are simply part of the program. Yes, in the very beginning, u can only move up 10 mgs. @ a time, & only once a week until u get to 160 mg's, then u need to see the Doc. The dosing nurses are overworked, understaffed, & underpaid. They come to work in the morning's to help US. TBH the reviews ive read are simply ppl who aren't using the program the way it's intended to be. Therefore, they have no business going in the first place. If ur at the point in ur life where u know ur DONE, then this program can change ur life. I've got almost 4 years, without even one relapse. It's almost unbelievable to me that I've got this much time under my belt, when I haven't had more than a little over a year, (& that was locked up), sober in my entire adult life. My point is if u want better, & are truly ready for that change, this program can save lives. I can honestly say it saved mine. It was the only thing, (& I've tried it all, Suboxone, Subutex, Naloxone, Zubsolve...) that was GENUINELY able to open my eyes to the possibility of a better life. U just have to want it, for urself. Hang in there. If I can do it, ANYONE can! Good Luck! 💯✨🫶🏻☺️🌈🪻🍎

I have recieved counseling services from here for four years now. I have experienced 4 different doctors in my time as a patient at the Sarasota location, as well as 4 different counselors. I have also been to 4… different PAR locations in Florida. Operation PAR Sarasota has without a doubt made the most significant positive changes in the past year. What once was a revolving door of employees with a high turnover rate, the past year has turned into their most stable all-star employee roster. They have always had a handful of wonderful long-term employees (Courtney, Karen and Jamie), but there was a very apparent issue with keeping dedicated nursing and counselor staff. The past year Operation PAR has made the greatest decision I’ve witnessed in bringing a counselor like Travis on to their team. In the past I’ve worked with counselors who did the bare minimum of their job and called it a day. A counselor who goes out of their way to actually care about your treatment plan makes all the difference in your sobriety. I am grateful each day that I was placed with a counselor who goes above and beyond to support his patients and help them achieve long-term sobriety. Having Travis as a counselor has helped me achieve sobriety goals I did not think were possible. I am incredibly grateful that he is a part of PAR Sarasota. Secondly, ever since PAR brought David and Michael onto nursing, the environment has done a complete 180. What once consisted of easily replaceable nurses, has now been replaced with wonderful and caring employees who have consistently made Operation PAR a better place. You can see it in the content environment of the other employees working alongside them, as well as the patients who interact with them each day. They do their job and they do it with a smile on their face. And that makes all the difference for people who are trying to turn their lives around. I am grateful for the significant changes PAR Sarasota has made the past year as it is extremely apparent to those who have received long-term care from here. Oh and Mercedes is always running the front desk with a smile 😊

A family member of mines was there for 13 years 1 of the doctors decided to kick her out that same day never gave her any medicine and she literally overdose 2 weeks later from buying medicine off the street don't go to… this place the doctors and Facility don't care about anyone they are not compassionate about anyone's wellbeing or substance abuse save yourself and go somewhere else.

Best clinic I've been to since I started going when it comes to efficiently and quickly dosing people and getting them on their way. Plus the staff and nurses that I've interacted with are awesome in every way you can… think. They're all very respectful and courteous even though I've seen clients be the complete opposite. And yet the staff still treat these rude, nasty attitude people respectfully and kindly. Hats off to the staff thank you for your effort and all you do for us that come there.

They are absolutely scary horrible!!! 😔 they do not CARE. THEY JUDGE THE CLIENTS INSTEAD OF Supporting them in need. I mean isn't that the whole point of an out patient facility? - since pandemic! ( oh the great… pandemic) 😔 literally tore apart ppl. & then some. Loss.of lives. Depression. Etc. The ones whom are blessed to not have been affected by it meaning contracting disease. ( I realize we ALL have been affected one way or other) Some a lot worse. Such as life. So far a facility to allow a nurse to take matters in hers own. Hands & send over info to my PHYCE. Dr. & messed up my whole regimen. One that took yrs to get right & was finally on a great path of stability& working towards future daily& living in moment. One moment @a time. I was doing well. Not one looks back to that. BC of 1 solitary day An individual decided to "add" on notes to my Dr. After I signed release form. Shady. And till this day idk what made her think it was ok to do such a horrible thing to a mental/ addict??? (Power perhaps?) I had said. If your. So intended on. Playing god. You will mess what is working very well for me. I do not blame others however; this person gina? ( not longer employed there) DOESNT change the fact she did exactly what I knew WOULD happen. My whole life turned upside down. & struggled to this day ( 2yrs later) for Stability. With a GOOD trusting health care provider

I have been coming to par for 3 years now. I absolutely love this clinic! My intake clinic is Sarasota but my everyday location is their satellite Port Charlotte office. I have had a wonderful experience with them. I… have been on methadone for about 8 years if not a little longer. I started in Delaware. My clinic there was unique....the clients were the worst people I've ever had to be around! I understand that when you just start coming, you are sick and cranky, scared and angry! However feel that a couple months into treatment that you should be feeling 100 % better!! NOT THERE🥶🤬😈👹 THEY WERE EVIL AND I WAS SCARED THAT IF I GOT TOO CLOSE I MIGHT GET SWALLOWED WHOLE🤣🤣🤣‼‼ However the staff for the most part were good people. Back to PAR... I reccomend them to EVERYONE AND ANYONE! I just like to take the opportunity to remind people that our nurses are here to help us! They don't have to choose to work here but they do! They believe in helping us! Soooo i wish that people would treat them so much better😰! They aren't trying to bind you up or get you into trouble, they don't get off on making you cry!!! They are simply making sure we are safe cuz lets be honest, addicts will lie to get more drugs or lie to not get caught using or we lie just cuz that's what we do!!! Their job is to ask questions and make sure they keep us safe!!! Please be kind!!

This place has it's ups and downs service wise. Many times pertinent policy changes will be implemented without any forewarning. This often results in the patient being on the wrong end of the situation in regards to… the ramifications incurred as a result of these changes. Furthermore the resulting complaints from patients often causes a reversal of the policy leading to further confusion & uncertainty.

This place saved my life and I love everyone that works there

Head dosing nurse is sadistic!

I was a client at the Sarasota clinic for several years before I moved to South Dakota. As a side note, always check to make sure that you will have good access to a clinic if you move- So.Dak. has one clinic in the… state, and several states have NO CLINICS. Florida has them everywhere, and PAR Sarasota is the very best. I have guess dosed at 8 other Florida clinics and none compare to the overall excellence of PAR. I am moving back to Sarasota soon and look forward to transferring back to PAR.

My experience with this place was the absolute worst experience I've EVER had I've been with the M.A.T. program for about 3yrs the dosing nurses were narcissist they always accused me of being under the influence and… would not give me my dose I was just starting there was extremely Ill not high and couldn't get any better because they'd refuse me my medication. They treated me like I was on probation standing IN the bathroom staring at you while you did your urine screen I felt like my privacy was violated she had no right. Then they think they have the right to count medications that are not even prescribed by them it was ridiculous I wouldn't take my dog to that place although maybe hed get better treatment than I did

There everyday...lol

Excellent place. Everybody there truly cares about you.

Horrible place. Mentally unstable staff.

They're patience and willing to help has changed my life.

Great staff very caring

I have a great counselor and the people are all very friendly and helpful

My friend Joseph is an addict and he needs help
