About Larkin Community Hospital South Miami

Larkin Community Hospital specializes in treating drug and alcohol addiction in the Miami, Florida, region. This hospital operates a separate rehab center focusing primarily on addiction medicine, dual diagnosis, and mental health.

At this addiction treatment center, there are two programs, namely, an outpatient program and a detox program. To learn more about these substance abuse recovery programs, have a look at the following:

Unfortunately, quitting a drug or alcohol addiction alone can prove hazardous. That’s why it’s best to enroll in a detox treatment program for drug and alcohol addiction at a rehab center like Larkin Community Hospital.

This addiction treatment center offers a detox treatment program that is carefully customized to meet each patient’s medical and recovery needs. While receiving treatment, patients will have 24/7 monitoring and counseling sessions. The length of stay is based on individual recovery needs.

The outpatient opioid and alcohol medication-assisted treatment (MAT) program at this rehab center offers FDA-approved medications like methadone, naltrexone, and buprenorphine to approved candidates to help with long-term recovery.

Those receiving medication-assisted treatment must also attend therapy, counseling sessions, and support groups to help with withdrawal and cravings. These psychological services will also help patients manage the behavioral, emotional, and psychological effects of quitting an addiction.

Someone needs to check on who is staffed on the fifth floor. They messed up with me. I m one of the lucky ones because I have a good support system and a medical team (not related to the hospital) who stood up for me and believed me. I made it out and I m continuing my education. I do have a bachelors degrees and I am a part of the 6% of latinas and who has a masters degree and I am currently pursuing my DVM. I m stating this to validate my credibility. I witnessed patients abused by the hands of staff on the 5th floor. Angry inpatient staff who yelled you think you have rights here . Unfortunately, this is a common situation in which sometimes healthcare workers take control a little too far. Deescalation methods could have been taken but they chose fist first. Regardless of the patient s mental health, they still deserve to be treated like a human. That s all I have to say for now.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

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

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.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) involve frequent and robust therapeutic sessions for clients requiring high-level care. Clients may engage in a combination of medication assisted treatment (MAT), addiction counseling, recovery skills training, and holistic therapies for a minimum of nine and a maximum of 20 hours per week. Intensive outpatient rehab is designed primarily for persons in early recovery, those exiting detox or inpatient care, and those at an elevated relapse risk.

Aftercare Support

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.

Intervention Services

If a person with a substance use disorder continually denies their problem or refuses to get treatment, a drug intervention in Florida may be necessary. Intervention services can help mediate the intervention by providing an addiction expert. This professional can de-escalate situations and facilitate a healthier discussion between the individual and their loved ones. Specialists can also help families handle issues they don't know how to navigate on their own.

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.

Medically 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.

Treatments

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 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.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

ECT is a form of treatment in which controlled electric currents are passed through the brain, sometimes causing short seizures. Treatments are done under general anesthesia. ECT appears to change brain chemistry for the better, and has been shown to provide fast and sometimes dramatic improvements in severe mental health conditions that can exist alongside addiction, including depression, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and suicidality. ECT is also often used by those who prefer it to taking medication.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

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.

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.

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.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

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.

Yaquelin Garcia

Dr. Arango, from Jackson Hospital, referred us to this Hospital due to an infection in my mother's hip. We went directly to Larkin Emergency because he recommended Dr Arturo Corces to us. I was shocked that they didn't let me in but I was finally able to accompany my mother who was not in a position to give any information since she has only been in the US for a short time. We stayed one night on the 2nd floor before the surgery. She was unfortunately transferred to the ICU, because in the middle of her surgery with Dr Corces, my mother became seriously ill, and there in the ICU she really received the best care. Many thanks to your director Taymir and your entire nursing team. To the point that today my mother is in room 202B, practically recovered, thanks to all these excellent workers throughout this hospital who have truly welcomed me with humanity and professionalism. Highlight the case manager Cyndell, very concerned and always willing and reachable to explain the complex procedures of medical insurance. The work team on floor 2, very good. Both nurses and assistants. Patient Experience (Lisbet) visited me in the ICU and then in the room, very attentive and also always available for any support, I met her at the worst moment when my mother's severity was greatest and her support was very comforting. The physiotherapy team, Nelson, was also wonderful, very dedicated and constantly supervising me and explaining the steps to follow. We have some recommendations: The food for patients is not very pleasant, I recommend improving the menu. My mother is diabetic and I think that mashed potatoes daily is not appropriate. Of course there was protein but the preparation was very planned. Maybe they can spice it up a little more. And the other thing, I would have liked more contact with Dr Corc�s. I have never seen him in person, only on the phone. Although my mother did not have the hip replacement procedure, because she became seriously ill during the surgery, I would have liked to be able to talk in person.I am a very attached daughter, I never left my mother for a single moment, and thanks to God and this hospital, today I see her smile again. Thank you very much

Thank you, Yaquelin, for sharing your detailed experience. We are happy to know that your mother received excellent care from emergency to ICU and that the second floor team supported them with humanity and professionalism. We appreciate your kind words towards Director Taymir, Cyndell, Lisbet and the physiotherapy team. We also take note of your recommendations regarding the menu and contact with the doctor, as we always seek to improve. It fills us with joy to know that your mother is recovering and that she has smiled again. We are here to serve you whenever you need it! Gracias, Yaquelin, por compartir su experiencia tan detallada. Nos alegra saber que su mam� recibi� una atenci�n excelente desde emergencia hasta ICU y que el equipo del segundo piso les brind� apoyo con humanidad y profesionalismo. Agradecemos sus amables palabras hacia la directora Taymir, Cyndell, Lisbet y el equipo de fisioterapia. Tambi�n tomamos nota de sus recomendaciones sobre el men� y el contacto con el m�dico, ya que siempre buscamos mejorar. Nos llena de alegr�a saber que su mam� se est� recuperando y que ha vuelto a sonre�r. �Estamos aqu� para servirle siempre que lo necesite!

Damaris S�nchez Escalona

I have been a Larkin patient for a week, I am on the 2nd floor, bed 210 B. I came in through the Emergency Room, where everyone was very humane. I am waiting for surgery and during the wait I have been very well cared for. I would like to highlight the attention received by the nurse Claudia, the assistants, the night shifts. In general, everyone. Very loving. In my difficult situation, I never imagined receiving this good treatment. Larkin south miami has a magnificent staff that, thank God, most of them are Latino. That makes me feel at home. The girl who does the survey, Patient Experience, is so nice. I thank you for your interest in my satisfaction and I consider it important that this role exists that prioritizes the feelings of each patient. Thank you so much, Lisbeth. And very grateful myself and my family to everyone at Larkin. Highly recommended place.

Service, Attention and Kindness! AAA + emergency department, 4th floor surgery and 2nd floor, they definitely have a Great team that cares about patients and give the Best of the Best, my only observation and constructive criticism is that during the weekends there is a need for more staff, (nurses and assistants).

Thank you, Lilly, for your kind words. We love hearing that you had a AAA experience in our emergency, surgery and second floor departments. We appreciate your suggestion regarding weekend staffing and will take your feedback into account to improve. Thanks for sharing your experience! Gracias, Lilly, por sus amables palabras.
