car-building iconOutpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

book-medical icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

house-medical iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Heart icon Treatment

book iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

prescription iconDrug Addiction

Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome dependency related to a wide range of addictive substances. Programs address both the physical and mental aspects of addiction in order to help you make a full recovery.

head-side-medical iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

file-medical 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.

prescription-bottle-pill iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Group 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.

Individual 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.

Life Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

They called me for a job post and in few words I didn t get the chance for an interview because I was not a US citizen and I only had one year living in the US.They only called me to ask me where Santo Domingo was located and if I have worked in the US before and anything about my job experience or studies.I felt really discriminated and upset because they came to the conclusion that since I m a foreigner I m not capable of working in a decent job?I should be reporting you to the competent authorities regarding this.

Your body, their choice. They want to coerce staff to get vaccinated. One of the things their company does is to process people entering the criminal system for doing things such as forcing people to do things against their will, and they want to force their employees to do something against their will, saying simply that "they have a choice". Kind of the same way a criminal coercing their victim to do something they didn't want to do and then saying that the victim "had a choice". If this was really about protecting their staff, they would allow exceptions, such as for people who show they already have an immunity, which is proven more effective than the shot.

Initially everything was fine my therapist Kirk Murdoch advise me I was there due to marijuana, stated I had to do four weeks of therapy minimum a weekly group and two NA meetings. For three weeks I saw him and provide prescription records as per his request during a therapy appointment. I emailed him copies of all my prescriptions and he said that would suffice. I also provided my Medical cannabis card. On every weekly therapy visit I advised him I was looking into the any classes and there was an understanding that I would complete two classes within the four weeks of therapy.Kirk never asked for an NA log nor discussed two weekly NA meetings for the entire history of our short-lived therapy patient relationship.On my fourth week I came in a little concerned because I had run out of things to talk about. Kirk met with me upon my arrival and said we believe a female therapist would benefit you more What happened next was it emotional torture. I m at my new therapist Michelle. She started from scratch she asked me about my history and she stated I was noncompliant. It shocked me I asked her why. She quickly said I didn t keep my appointments and I wasn t consistent with therapy. I was in shock, This was not true. I asked her if the three weeks I had already completed were still accounted for (it seemed like an intake all over again). She said no, we were starting over.I requested to speak to her supervisor. Denise came into the room and begin to speculate stating I failed my Drug Test That was the first time I heard that one. She then retracted the statement and said she wasn t exactly sure why, so when I asked about Michelle stating I didn t keep my appointments, she started to huff puff smirk and suck her teeth. She then completely denied having mentioned my appointments. At this point it was apparent that my intelligence was being tested.Now they were marking me noncompliant for reasons that have yet to be explained to me. Kirk Murdock also failed to take my prescription bottles and take pill counts which was held against me apparently.I filled out this grievance form, it was motivated due to Kirks excuse to replace my therapist with a female instead of facing his errors.**update**Kirk testified in court that he marked me as having substance abuse issues because I am prescribed narcotics. That was the one and only reason (as per his testimony) Obviously I won the motion to reunify. I don t know if he realized how bad he embarrassed himself.

I applied for employment at this facility I went thru the whole employment process to obtain the job even doing the drug screening. They called my references and my previous employer. All this for what????? Besty gave me the run around and wanted me to send papers with my personal (SS#)information on them thru emails. Very unprofessional place of business.

Beware of signing any agreement with this team. They do not pay their invoices on time. They then will avoid calls to pay billing and start giving you the runaround. Would never work with them again

Bottom of the barrel pay, with no opportunity for advancement. I stayed 3 years without getting so much as a penny raise. My supervisor was abusive to staff, and all my co-workers ended up quiting as well eventually. My last straw was the day I was asked to cover up an assault on one of the patients, and was reprimanded for allowing him to call the police and report the incident. I had no choice but to walk out to prevent losing my ability to be licensed, and then ACTS lied about it in court to prevent paying me what they owed in unemployment. Horrible place to work.
