Their inpatient program gives you round the clock access to services like crisis interventions and emergency behavioral health assessments.

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

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Heart icon Treatment

check 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.

mental-health iconMental Health

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

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.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

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.

Great Staff .. Thank you to every single member of my team who made my procedure and every thing that comes with it perfect.My only complaint was waiting for over an hour in extremely uncomfortable chairs at 5:30 am . I arrived at 5:25 and was not called in for my information until 6:27. Jayson and his partner in Ariel. There were not that many people ahead of me, what took so long. If you were my hourly employee, I would certainly question. When I questioned the wait loudly ( I m not shy ) an immediate attitude was thrown up, acting as if dropping my information cards on the desk was some kind of an assault. Girl, you can shashay that nonsense to someone else. The young lady at the information desk was lovely and professional and we got through everything with no issues. The rest was cake.

I want to thank the immediate and selfless attention of 3 girls in particular, Ang�lica cared for me in the emergency room, she cared like no one had ever cared, even in my shock of pain, she knew how to handle it very professionally, Nancy the girl who cared for me in the night intern , very kind, with a lot of vocation and quick response, just like Angelica, I wish all the nurses were like them and thanks to my immediate chef, very attentive and kind, for making me laugh and giving me good suggestions for her delicious dishes. Thanks to the doctors for standing out, thank you very much.

Had a horrible time there. I went in asking for an appointment with a psychiatrist. Instead a doctor spoke with me for two minutes and basically tricked me into signing some paperwork. Then they led me to a controlled environment behind locked doors and all of a sudden I realized that I had "voluntary" Baker-acted myself.Room was cold, they denied me a proper doctor visit (there was like ten people in the room), and they didn't want to let me get up from the bed in which they had me sit. I got up and began quietly singing and dancing to try and warm myself up (they took all my things and placed me in an inadequate hospital gown).I was told to be quiet, or I was gonna be placed in the "quiet room". I said that if they didn't like how I was behaving, then they should let me leave. Instead a massive orderly grabbed me and violently threw me into the "quiet room". Obviously I resisted and screamed for help, and since the single orderly couldn't contain me, they summoned five men to grab me by force, tied me to the bed in the quiet room, and injected me with some kind of drug that made me unconscious.When I woke up I was still in the quiet room being woken somehow with a person there. I got up with an injured and heavily bruised leg from the ordeal and was taken to one of the mental wards of the hospital.I was forced to stay there while some of the hospital staff tried convincing me that I was insane, telling me things like " EVERYBODY has a bad side"(I only pretended to take the anti-psychotics). They only let me go once I assured them that I wouldn't litigate, three days later. I never got a private doctor's consultation, which was the whole reason I was I went there. Hope you guys are making good use of the tax break you wanted for "treating me".Food was good, though.P.S. They placed a "RISK OF VIOLENCE" warning in bold in my file on their record.
