In 1980 Jack Hamilton, the founder of Florida Center for Recovery (FCR), began his sobriety and a brand new chapter in his life. Propelled by his hope for life and his strong belief in addicts helpingother addicts, Jack felt that he needed to do something to help others who were struggling with addiction. By simply bringing addicts home, providing them shelter, meals, and guidance through the facilitation of AA and NA meetings, Jack started a dynamic recovery community in New York and brought Narcotics Anonymous meetings to local NY communities. Excited with the positive results and wanting to help more people that could possibly fit in his living room, Jack officially established his first addiction treatment center in 1995 – a 50-bed drug and alcohol treatment facility on Long Island, and subsequently in 2002, Florida Center for Recovery – a 72-bed detox and rehab center in Florida.
Sadly, Jack passed away in 2010. He left us with an incredible legacy far beyond anything he had imagined. We like to remember him as the kind man who dedicated his life to helping others achieve the freedom he achieved by stopping addiction and staying sober. Jack never gave up on an individual who was suffering from addiction. His passion and devotion to his family, the communities he helped, and the rehab centers he established will always be remembered by those whose lives were touched by his compassion.

An additional feature of Florida Center for Recovery’s treatment model is our focus on helping clients reconnect to their creativity and passions. In addition to our clinical program, we encourage clients to have fun by engaging with their surroundings to discover or rediscover their talents through sports, art therapy and yoga among other activities. Our aftercare programming also encourages our clients to participate in recreational activities during their leisure time, especially outdoors. Recovering individuals who are able to structure their weekly time to include recreational activities are often better equipped to sustain lasting sobriety, as these activities are known to support ones physical and mental wellbeing. Our aim is to help our clients recognize their own undiscovered capacities, and harness their inner strengths and passions; this will shift their reliance away from maladaptive behaviors and negative cognitive patterns.
We recognize the important role that family members and significant others play in helping our clients maintain a healthy lifestyle. For that reason, family or significant others are invited to participate in some aspects of the addiction treatment program where therapeutically beneficial and when requested by a client.
