Group Therapy– Facilities that offer group therapy can help patients connect to create support networks and friendships that may last for years. Couples or family counseling is available at facilities throughout South Florida.
Clinical support – find out what types of clinical support are available at the facility you’re researching. This can include access to individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, etc.
Recovery coaches – find out if the facility offers recovery coaches as part of their treatment package. This can help those who aren’t ready to live on-site after completing the treatment plan and following up with a recovery coach at home.
Academic support – look for a facility that offers academic support such as GED classes or career training to those who want help re-entering the workforce after treatment.
Access to aftercare – look for a facility that offers an aftercare program and plan that meets your needs.
Amenities – addiction treatment can be a traumatic experience for many addicts, so they must have access to amenities such as spa-like bathrooms, hot tubs, saunas, and other amenities. These items can help make the detox process more tolerable, and they also provide comfort to addicts who are highly uncomfortable due to withdrawal symptoms.
Property amenities – look for a place with access to the outdoors and property amenities like hiking trails, gardens, etc. This can help keep stress levels under control during treatment.
Hospital-grade equipment – look for an accredited medical doctor at the facility, along with access to cutting-edge medical equipment for detox, withdrawal management, and medication management.
Other amenities – look for a facility that offers yoga, acupuncture, massage therapy, and meditation classes as part of the treatment process. Ensure there are plenty of things for you to do while at the facility. These help with stress management and overall wellness.
Residential/inpatient care – many addicts enter rehab for the first time because they were court-ordered or forced by their families. These addicts often have a hard time staying in recovery, so be sure to look for an inpatient facility that does not offer outpatient treatment.
Inpatient rehab is essential for those who need more intensive care or wish to live on-site at the facility during treatment. This is recommended for patients who need long-term recovery and have to deal with past trauma as well as mental health problems.
Recreational Therapy – Adventure therapy is a type of therapy that mixes outdoors, community, and risky activities. The goal of adventure therapy is to improve an individual’s physical, social, spiritual, and psychological well-being by combining evidence-based, experiential treatment, leisure activities, and outdoor adventures with the healing power of the wilderness.
