About AWA: Adolescent Wellness Academy

LegitScript-certified Adolescent Wellness Academy is an adolescent behavioral health institution specializing in treating mental health and substance abuse in Davie, Florida. They have a therapeutic day treatment program and an intensive outpatient program to help teens overcome drug and alcohol addictions and manage co-occurring mental health conditions.

The therapeutic day program, otherwise known as a partial hospitalization program, combines drug rehab treatment services with educational support. When you sign up for this program, you’ll receive comprehensive care through individualized treatment plans designed by multidisciplinary treatment teams.
Their program is designed to be safe and welcoming. Adolescent patients will undergo group, individual, and family therapy sessions weekly. Parents also have access to a weekly parent support group and clinical support for crisis management. The length of stay before transitioning to the intensive outpatient program offered by the Adolescent Wellness Academy is four to 12 weeks.
You’ll be expected to attend individual and group counseling sessions after school with licensed therapists, board-certified psychiatrists, and care coordinators. Their therapies include dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
This program has been specifically created to foster substance abuse recovery and help ease symptoms of mental health conditions. Attendance is expected three to five days weekly for patients and participation is required for 10 to 16 weeks.
The Adolescent Wellness Academy understands that parents are often concerned about how they will afford their adolescent child’s substance abuse and or mental health treatment. That’s why they are in-network with most major commercial insurance in Florida. Yet, before enrolling your child, it’s best to speak with your insurer and this center to confirm coverage and establish whether out-of-network benefits are applicable.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient rehabs encompass multiple levels of care to facilitate clients' progress through their recovery journey. Clients who are stepping down from inpatient treatment may require intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment, which involves more frequent and substantive therapeutic interventions than does standard outpatient care. Outpatient centers typically provide extensive addiction counseling, including individual, group, and family therapy. Medication assisted treatment programs (MAT) and recovery-focused life skills training are also common in outpatient care.

inpatient iconInpatient

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

aftercare iconAftercare

Rehab aftercare programs are a collection of highly individualized services designed to promote long-term recovery. These services evolve as your needs change. Case managers and recovery teams typically begin formulating the rehab aftercare service plan early in the recovery process to facilitate your reintegration back into the home, workplace, and community.

12-step icon12-Step

12 step programs support recovery through emotional, psychological, and spiritual development to address the root causes of addiction. These programs are peer directed, with participants regularly attending 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, and accessible day and night, year-round. Recovery is based on "working the steps" to understand the source of addiction, take accountability for one's life choices, and relinquish control for that which cannot be changed. Age-specific, gender-separate, and other specialized programs are widely available.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

A sober living home in Florida often serves as a transitional residence for individuals coming out of inpatient rehab. This helps those in recovery avoid isolation that can sometimes happen after they return home from treatment. It offers a supportive environment where they can practice skills learned in rehab. Offering a combination of structure and freedom, men's or women's sober living is a good stepping stone to independent life in recovery.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

Often referred to as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers an intensive treatment option that allows individuals to return home at night. PHP treatment typically requires a minimum of 20 hours a week for an average of 90 days. Participants attend daily therapeutic sessions, receive medication management, and have access to skilled medical professionals. While costs can vary, most insurance will fully or partially cover a partial hospitalization program.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

24-hour clinical care in Florida is an essential part of treatment, particularly with medical detox. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe, and supervised detox provides around the clock access to medical professionals who can adminsiter proper medications and treatment to address these symptoms and step in should an emergency occur. This intensive clinical care will help curb the withdrawal effects, minimize substance dependence, and prepare you for the next step of treatment.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

The first step of the recovery process involves the removal of all drugs and alcohol from your system while under 24/7 medical supervision. Known as a medically assisted detox, you are closely monitored by medical staff who can provide medications, if necessary, to help alleviate any potential withdrawal symptoms. Medical detox is usually followed by a period of inpatient addiction treatment.

Heart icon Treatment

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

Therapists who apply cognitive behavioral therapy in Florida believe patient thoughts and behaviors are closely linked. They use this treatment method to help clients change their thought patterns so they can also change behaviors and break free from substance abuse.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical behavior therapy in Florida consists of individual therapy and group instruction. This structured program is a form of psychotherapy that incorporates the development of skills for managing emotions and relationships.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

As a short term therapeutic method, motivational interviewing in Florida requires only a couple of sessions. During these sessions, you'll have the opportunity to talk about your circumstances and any discrepancies between your current situation and future goals. You'll then decide for yourself what changes you want to make.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy helps you work through the psychological impact that traumatic events have had on your life. Your therapist helps you identify the physical, emotional, and mental triggers and develop coping mechanisms. This helps rebuild a sense of safety and trust in yourself and others.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

During couples therapy in Florida, your therapist will take steps to get to know you, help you identify feelings, explore the past, develop solutions, and help you learn skills to manage relationship challenges. This process will allow you to work through conflict and strengthen your relationship.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

I m not sure where to begin. There s is so many positive things to write about, I will just start with thisWe were so happy to find out about Adolescent Wellness from a friend that was going to church.Once we met the advisers and therapist, we just put our faith in to the program and so happy with the turn out for our son.I will start with Anny. She was the very first person I talk toShe was very straight forward guiding me through what I need to do to get my son into the right care at their facility. When you are in need she picks her phone up ANYTIME of the day!Then we met Mike ( therapist for the adults, parents and kids ) through the parent therapy classes, one night a week, we all met. It was wonderful, He was caring loving and FUNNY and straight to the point! One thing you will find is more parents going through the same thing you re going through. And you will find after all the tears, there is joy & laughter as well. ( we all got along like family and we had a motto in our class we would say JUST ASK MIKE it was our inside joke, but it very powerful to us.Laughter can heal you. ( we love you Mike)We also had a wonderful one on one therapist name BEN who guided my son. my son now knows how to make better choices and has become a better version of himself. Thank you Ben for listening!We felt like family there. The whole staff is there to help & guide. If you need to make some serious changes within your family or yourself, give them a chanceIt could change your life. Sincerely.Sally O Brien

Truly Godsent and we feel blessed to have formed part of this supportive community of incredible professionals and amazing kids and parents! Big thanks to Kamaria his therapist for being so supportive and to Mike for being such an incredible positive influence for our son.

AWA has been a lifesaver for our family. Our son s progress has been incredible he s matured and more content than ever. Mike, with his 40 years of experience, is a true lifesaver. The teens really listen to him, and he s able to inspire true transformation. Anny and Frank are incredibly caring and the entire staff have a deep understanding of what teens and families need. Highly recommend AWA for any adolescent. Thank you, AWA!

I was desperate when I found out my teenage daughter self harmed .again. I was reluctant to send her away to a residential facility & decided to keep looking at our options. I stumbled upon AWA and nervously called to inquire . Anny was so sweet & friendly. She made me feel so comfortable that immediately I connected to the place. My daughter was anything but happy about going & she wasn t shy about showing it. She went with a dark hoodie covering her face and full of anger. Within a few days we started to see a shift and after a week she was excited & eager to go to her group and personal therapy sessions. They have a special unique recipe that is just genius and so thought out. From the kids group therapy to the parents weekly groups to the multi family group sessions. Mike, who leads the kids groups and parents group is genuine, funny, compassionate, & wise. Ben, my daughter s one on one therapist, helped my daughter reconnect with her true self. We are beyond grateful for all they have done to help her heal and grow. We have all learned so much. She even had therapy sessions with her siblings. Being a part of her healing has been a positive experience for the entire family. In just 10 weeks my daughter made a compete turn around. Mike and Ben gave us our daughter back. She s learned how to regulate her emotions , connect with friends and family, accept and love herself, and to also feel compassion for herself and others. Our entire family dynamic has shifted in such a positive way, we cannot be more grateful!! So many kids struggle with their mental health today and we want everyone to know that with AWA THERE IS HOPE!

Best wishes, The AWA Team

TRANSFORMATIONAL!!! Adolescent Wellness was God-sent! I was a parent desperately seeking healing for my son. I came across AW and it has been the best decision I ever made for my son. I called on a Sunday night and Anny was readily available to answer my questions and get me set-up for a family consultation. She has been available since that day, no matter what! Her dedication is unmeasurable.We met Frank on day one, my son and Frank immediately clicked! That immediate bond and respect only grew stronger and my son has so much love and respect for Frank till this day.Then came our dearest Michael P, by far an angel who has a true gift and genuinely cares and loves what he does! He just knows the deal, knows these kids, knows how to handle them, and does it extraordinarily! He helped my son with EVERYTHING, not only my son, he has brought healing to our family that we all desperately needed. My son has finally found peace from so many un-dealt with resentments and wounds from his past. Adolescent Wellness not only focuses on the child, but the entire family. I have witnessed so many little miracles unfold by watching not only my own son, but so many kids recover from all of their life s sufferings, big or small.Advice from my son: Trust in Mike! We love you all so much, there are no words to express my gratitude. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
