Florida's #1 Choice for Drug and Alcohol Treatment

You consult with a doctor to discuss physical symptoms caused by withdrawal from drugs or alcohol and any other ailments. The medical doctor will craft a personalized plan to maximize health and reduce the chance of ongoing health-related issues.

You also meet with a psychologist to evaluate the effect of the medications. Medications and doses are adjusted until perfected, so you leave with balance and stability.

In case of an emergency, a nurse is at the Port St. Lucie rehab at all times to deal with issues promptly. Medical assessments are also done by a Registered Nurse to monitor the effectiveness of medication and address any other health problems.

Anti-craving medications can be life-changing in early recovery. By minimizing the chances of a potential relapse, clients are free to focus on core issues and begin the process of inner healing.

Medications for underlying mental health issues – like anxiety and depression – help balance the brain. The more stable you feel, the better your chances of staying sober.

Therapists lead sessions with 4-10 people to discuss everyone’s personal stories and struggles. The intimate setting allows everyone to open up and give advice to one another. This peer feedback carries more weight than hearing it from just the therapist. Small groups also help build relationships with peers that are instrumental in maintaining sobriety after treatment. Everyone learns to keep each other and themselves accountable.

You learn how addiction impacts the mind and how it supersedes the dependence on a substance. Various topics are discussed that help you in all aspects of recovery; such as managing emotions, changing behaviors and balancing life with recovery.

For individuals who have experienced trauma, specialized Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can be life-changing. TMS stimulates the brain with non-invasive magnetic waves. EMDR uses lights to stimulate the relaxed state of REM sleep while clients process painful memories.

Highly individualized, one-on-one sessions with a therapist allow you to discuss feelings in a comfortable and personal setting, separate from other distractions. Aftercare plans are also constructed with the therapist to increase the chances of a full and lasting recovery.

Self-expression through music therapy gives you a welcome break from the stressors of early recovery. Open-ended activities, such as listening and lyric analysis, promote fellowship and unity among clients so that they are more receptive to further spiritual treatment.

Art therapy allows you to feel a sense of achievement and freedom through creativity. Art is an alternative outlet expressing feelings you are unable to express with words.

Using neuro-technology, specific parts of your brain are measured to see where you brainwaves become “stuck.” This allows us to accurately diagnosis issues like depression or anxiety quickly and with precision. It also allows us to measurable track your progress.

It sounds fancy (and it is). This treatment shows you the ebb and flow of your brainwaves and challenges you to change the activity levels. Some frequencies you aim to strengthen, while others you want to eliminate. It’s a way to re-wire your brain at the core.

Stress and anxiety are extremely detrimental to recovery. Massage therapy is a great tool for stress relief and teaches you to relax and live in the moment; one of the most important skills to learn in overcoming addiction.

Chiropractic care helps to align the patient’s spine correctly and has been known to balance the bodies levels of serotonin and dopamine. Both of these neurotransmitters are severely affected by substance abuse. The chiropractor will target the needs of the individual and administer care, restoring the body to its natural equilibrium.

Strengthening the body through physical exercise increases confidence and releases the tension built up from substance abuse. It also can alleviate withdrawal symptoms, such as restless legs and insomnia.

CrossFit provides a healthy distraction from the hard work of therapy. It’s a time to appreciate your strength, find encouragement and physically release your emotion. Intense exercise naturally triggers positive chemicals like serotonin without needing drugs or alcohol. Because the CrossFit community is accepting and supportive, it’s an ideal activity to incorporate into your life after rehab.

12-Step meetings are vitally important in the early stages of recovery. Going to a meeting every day helps you get used to a routine. And, it helps you feel more comfortable sharing and being a part of the fellowship. By the time you leave treatment, these behaviors are natural.

Having fun in recovery is essential to long-term sobriety. Activities such as bowling, the beach or visiting a park allow you to experience fun without the use of mind-altering substances. Because it’s a drug rehab for young adults only, you’ll make friends that can stop you from isolating after you leave.
