About Family First Adolescent Services
Family First Adolescent Services is an adolescent drug and alcohol rehab in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. They specifically serve boys ages 13 to 18 who are struggling with substance abuse or other behavioral health conditions. They can help boys who have co-occurring mental health conditions, too, and they can also treat issues like gaming addiction.
This rehab program takes a holistic and individualized approach to addiction recovery. They emphasize building a connection of respect and understanding with the teenagers and getting them involved in their treatment planning.
Throughout your child’s program, they’ll have a well rounded variety of therapies and treatment strategies. They’ll have individual therapy and group therapy. They’ll have recreational and holistic therapies, too, like equine therapy as well as CrossFit, paddleboarding and group excursions.
You don’t have to worry about your child falling behind in school while they get the treatment they need. This rehab has an academic program on site, so they’ll be able to keep up with their education or even catch up or get ahead. This program focuses on identifying each child’s strengths and helping them work toward their future goals whether it’s college readiness or pursuing a trade.
I noticed that this treatment center has a big focus on your family, too, and not just your teen. There will be family therapy sessions throughout the program. They’ll work with you to help you understand your teenager’s challenges and behaviors and learn how to help them after they get home. Plus they have ongoing alumni support and aftercare treatment, so you always have someone to turn to for guidance.
Clients and parents have great things to say about this rehab center. They say that it strikes the right balance between compassion and accountability and that the staff here really understands teenagers and what they need for meaningful recovery. Parents also say that they were very happy with how well the staff here communicated with them during their sons’ programs.

Levels of Care
Aftercare
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.
Partial 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.
