What Our Clients Are Saying

We hired Feinberg to assist us with our son who was not only in rehab in another state, but was severely injured while there and was hospitalized for many weeks. Not only does every person who was involved with us and our son care, but they go above and beyond to help everyone involved. The main person involved in our care, who was there with our son, has proved invaluable to us. He is there physically, emotionally and spiritually. Always available to help in any way. Steve Feldman is loving, kind and calm. He carefully facilitated all services that were needed for the entire family. I highly recommend Feinberg for every aspect of any care that is needed.

Instrumental in providing urgently directed support that I directly attribute to saving my family from otherwise likely tragedy. Extremely compassionate. Trust these people. They will save your families lives.

To say that Feinberg has come through in the clutch is an understatement. Feinberg provides me services – and helps me access other services – that have been absolutely critical to my recovery from addiction and to the stabilization of my family life. I have intimate discussions with Feinberg representatives one or more times per week, and that has been the case for well over a year.

Feinberg has been a godsend for my son. In the brief time that my son has met with his recovery coach Thatcher, I have seen a marked improvement in my son’s communication with me and in his demeanor. Thatcher helps my son set goals and helps him navigate through the challenges of life. Our case manager keeps us informed weekly of my son’s progress. I feel that Feinberg has become a key partner with his therapists and his AA sponsor in my son’s recovery. Feinberg has given me renewed hope that my son will become a productive member of society.

As a reformed enabler, I can’t thank Steve Feldman and the Feinberg support staff enough. Our family came to you with an almost impossible task, helping us to come together to help and support my nephew with his addiction. You helped us craft a plan and hosted our intervention. And while his actions were not according to plan, he is most certainly alive and better. We’re so grateful. More significantly, we’re grateful for the insight and clarity you gave the rest of our family. Our amazing Family Coach Kristen along with Steve and Pam were able to coach us and coax us. Guide us and help us see we were not helping. We were doing more harm. We were able to change. We are now a team, we come together to make decisions, we come back to Feinberg for clarity when we need them. That is a priceless gift.

Thatcher and Judy are every responsive to our concerns. They have addressed issues promptly. I feel that my son is well taken care of and is progressing toward a sustainable recovery. It means so much that they are in Florida looking out for my son, especially since we live so far away. I feel like they are extension of my family!
