Archways is an OUTSTANDING ORGANIZATION! In the past six months I have recevied housing assistance, transportation to medical and work related appointments, medication discounts, discounted meals, copay assistance, assistance filling out forms and, most importantly, I have received the precious gift of always having someone to lean on whenever life knocks me down. I am forever grateful for the teams of SAINTS that work everyday to make the world a more compassionate place. Again, THANK YOU ARCHWAYS!

I came here years ago from a court order and did not have such a good experience. First of all, the grass in their yard was never maintained and it was tall for months. Male clients from here were constantly grabbing my butt and harassing me here and the staff wouldn't do anything. I just should've called the cops for sexual harassment. Staff from here hospitalized me when I didn't even need to be there.
This facility also placed me in the other 2 dangerous facilities I wrote reviews for which are called, "Order My Steps", and "3rd Step Recovery". They also sent me to another place within the neighborhood radius of Susan B. Anthony where the state mental hospital radius is located in Pembroke Pines near the apartments by the lake and the painting studio to an assisted living facility lifestyle place called, "Transitions",.which was one of the most morbid experiences of my life. Archways charges clients skyrocketing rent leaving clients with only $50 for themselves every month.
And when I took my own check off of the payroll lady named Ms. Phillips desk at the Archways building, she actually chased me down the staircase to try to take it back from me. I was not stealing because it was MY check under my own name and I had every right to take what belongs to me, especially because I was being discharged from this place. Day group discussions were just so boring.
Only beneficial of this place when I was here was I got free laundry access, 11 pm curfews, unlimited house phone access, I could have visitors, and sometimes I could get stuff from the kitchen to eat when I was hungry. They tried to accuse me of stealing a $100 Visa giftcard from the local main office. They used false slander against me, accusing me that I sneaked into an office and took the card having NO hard evidence that I did this, at all.
Then Ms. Martinez, the Cuban-American case manager from here actually tried her best to threaten me with 5 years of FALSE imprisonment. Recently I think in 2016, a male client got a gunshot wound while he was waiting outside of the Archways Clubhouse before they opened, as someone early in the morning opened fire at him. The male client who was shot with the gun actually had to file a lawsuit against Archways with his family and attorney.
Other than this, just beware. Place is not worth it because it's not in the greatest neighborhood either and cops used to actually stop and question me just for walking around in.this neighborhood, while people passing by in cars actually believed that I was a prostitute just for walking to the bustop. Many of the staff quit their jobs here, and I always thought because something was just off here.

Best mental health and case management there is to offer. Recent upgrades to the facility make it look as awesome as the treatment you receive there. Always treated with respect and kindness, quick on call backs and they will always see you asap. Fantastic staff! Lisa, Natlie, and ALL my nurses five star treatment.
