Conditions we treat
Mental health, addiction, and dual-diagnosis care
Individualized treatment for substance use, mental health conditions, and co-occurring disorders across our South Florida facilities.
Care at Ambrosia
A full continuum for adults and adolescents
Ambrosia Behavioral Health offers a range of care at our adult and adolescent facilities — from medically supported detox through outpatient. Whether it is you or a loved one who is struggling, admissions can help you start.
Our facilities treat adults and adolescents living with substance use disorder, mental health issues, and co-occurring disorders. That continuum gives people a way through the challenges they have encountered.
Where to begin
Psychiatric and therapeutic care
Mental health treatment
People living with mental health issues often face real obstacles when they try to get help. Stigma is still present, and misunderstanding still leads to delayed care or the wrong kind of care.
Ambrosia provides mental health treatment for adults and adolescents. Adult care is offered at the Neuroscience Institute in West Palm Beach; adolescent mental health care is offered through Neuroscience Institute for Adolescents (NIA) in Port St. Lucie, with residential, PHP, and IOP options. We treat anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and other mental health conditions with psychiatric and therapeutic support.
Substance use and recovery
Addiction treatment
Substance use disorders can affect every part of a person’s life — physical health, finances, family, and mental well-being. Most families have been touched by drug or alcohol use in some way, and South Florida is no exception.
Ambrosia Treatment Center helps people recover from alcohol and drug use and leave with relapse-prevention skills they can use after treatment. Care can begin with detox and continue through inpatient and outpatient programs.
Mental health and substance use together
Dual-diagnosis treatment
People who struggle with substance use often have a co-occurring mental health condition. In some cases the mental health condition comes first and substances become a way to cope. In others, substance use contributes to depression, anxiety, or related disorders.
Dual-diagnosis treatment addresses both at the same time rather than treating one and waiting on the other. That integrated plan is the standard of care at Ambrosia.
Care for adolescents ages 13 to 17
Neuroscience Institute for Adolescents (NIA) is our adolescent mental health program. The Academy is our adolescent substance use disorder (SUD) program. Both offer residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient (IOP) care. Admissions can help explain the assessment and appropriate level of support.
