Two Decades of Compassionate Care: Celebrating the Growth and Evolution of Sunrise Detox Centers and Praesum Healthcare

September 06, 2024

Honoring Twenty Years of Empathy and Expertise in Treatment for Substance Use and Mental Health Disorders


At the heart of recovery from substance use and mental health disorders, Praesum Healthcare proudly marks a significant milestone — the 20th anniversary of Sunrise Detox Centers. This celebration is not only about reflecting on two decades of excellence in addiction treatment but also recognizing the comprehensive continuum of behavioral healthcare that Praesum now offers through its diverse and expanding network of services.

From our inception as the singular Sunrise Detox in Lake Worth, Florida, on July 15, 2004, to our current expansive network across multiple states, Praesum Healthcare has continuously evolved to meet the needs of individuals and families struggling with substance use and mental health disorders. Our growth from a single detox center to a multifaceted behavioral health company exemplifies our commitment to providing seamless support through every stage of recovery. Today, we operate a comprehensive continuum of services for mental health and substance use disorders.

The Evolution of Comprehensive Care

"Our aim was always clear," recalls Ira Levy, the company’s long-serving VP of Business Development. "We wanted to create a welcoming space where every person is treated with the utmost respect and compassionate care, a place that truly feels like a refuge during the challenging journey of recovery." This commitment is a cornerstone of the full continuum of services delivered by Praesum Healthcare, including Sunrise Detox Centers, Evolve Recovery Center, The Counseling Center, Beacon Point Recovery Center, Abseil Heights, and AffinityOne Sober Living.

A Legacy of Leadership and Innovation

Over the years, the landscape of addiction treatment has evolved, yet our mission remains steadfast. From addressing the dangers of alcohol withdrawal to managing various substance dependencies, our comprehensive approach to detox and other avenues of recovery is informed by decades of experience and a commitment to excellence. With expansion across six states, that growth reflects the thousands of lives we've touched and transformed. As we celebrate this milestone, we reflect on our growth and the depth of care we provide, underscoring our belief that the best healthcare is locally delivered and deeply personalized.

"This milestone is a testament to the dedication of our staff and the trust placed in us by the thousands of individuals we have helped on their path to recovery,” added Patrick Donnelly, Chief Growth Officer. “It's a poignant moment to reflect on the profound impact we've made, providing a rich continuum of care and support to our clients and their families. We are dedicated to reaching as many individuals as possible with our proven treatment methods."

Celebrating a Twenty-Year Mission

As we honor the 20th anniversary of Sunrise Detox Centers, we reflect on that journey that began in Lake Worth, Florida, on July 15, 2004. When SDC first opened its doors, our founders envisioned a sanctuary that felt more like a home than a hospital — a comforting, professional environment dedicated to treating individuals struggling with substance use disorders with dignity and respect. “Our longevity and adaptability through changing times reflect our deep commitment to providing an authentic sense of hope and renewal at each of our locations,” added Mr. Levy.

Looking to the Future

Over these two decades, our dedicated professionals have strengthened their expertise beyond that original goal of medical detox for addiction while maintaining the mission: treating the individual, not just the disorder. “From those humble beginnings, we’ve built something to last that addresses every aspect of substance use and mental health disorders,” added Mr. Levy. Praesum Healthcare's expansion is a narrative of hope and success. Our commitment to growth is deeply entrenched in our desire to reach and heal more lives. We're not just celebrating 20 years of service at Sunrise Detox; we're celebrating 20 years of stories, recoveries, and new beginnings across all our brands.

As we look to the future, our vision is clear: to continue leading with empathy, enhancing our treatment programs, and expanding our reach. We celebrate two decades of dedicated service and look forward to many more years of making a positive impact.
