Newsweek, a trusted voice in global media, has recognized Hanley Center as the top residential addiction treatment center in West Palm Beach, and ranked it as the No. 3 residential addiction treatment center in Florida for 2026.
Newsweek’s rankings are part of an annual evaluation, categorized by state, of the leading addiction treatment centers across the United States. Each facility’s score is based on Newsweek’s rigorous standards, including reputation surveys from medical peers and official accreditation data.
“These rankings highlight leading facilities that deliver high-quality, evidence-based treatment and support long-term recovery,” Newsweek states on their rankings website. “By evaluating
centers using objective quality measures, professional reputation, and accreditation data, it offers patients and families a trusted resource for navigating care options and making informed, life-changing treatment decisions with confidence.”
For more than 40 years, Hanley Center has been a pioneer in addiction treatment, continuing to develop the best and most individualized treatments and services available. Hanley Center applies its philosophy of holistic, individualized care across age-specific and gender-specific addiction treatment programs designed for men, women, and older adults. In 1998, Hanley Center pioneered specialized addiction treatment for older adults with a groundbreaking program focused on personalized assessment and recovery services.
“Receiving this national and statewide recognition from Newsweek is a proud moment for all of us at Hanley,” said Rachel Docekal, CEO of Hanley Center and Hanley Foundation. “It is a reflection of our staff’s extraordinary work, and our ongoing commitment to offering hope, healing, and an exceptional standard of care to every patient who walks through our doors.”
In 2023, Hanley Center returned to its original nonprofit status through Hanley Foundation, which leads the organization’s prevention, advocacy, and treatment scholarship services. Since then,
Hanley Center has developed innovative programs to meet the specialized needs of first responders and veterans; pregnant women and their babies; and children.Â
Through its Capital Campaign for Recovery, Hanley Center will soon open its renovated public campus to connect and support the recovery community. The resource campus will feature a coffee shop, bookstore, and versatile meeting spaces, in addition to outpatient and family programming. Central to this space will be a groundbreaking employability and job training initiative designed to empower individuals in recovery with real-world skills, career pathways, and workforce support, alongside educational programming and peer services for lasting recovery. Â
