Dedicated Treatment Center for Veterans in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Military service demands resilience, but transitioning back to civilian life often brings unique challenges that require specialized care. At Florida Addiction and Recovery Center, Inc, we offer a safe, air-conditioned sanctuary where you can rebuild healthy routines shielded from South Florida’s punishing humidity and heat. Positioned to serve military families and former service members from Harbordale and Victoria Park, our location supports the 33316 and 33301 communities with dedicated, honor-focused care. We recognize chemical dependency as a progressive illness that burdens the mind, body, and spirit. By adopting a total wellness framework, we combine clinical excellence with peer camaraderie, delivering personalized substance abuse treatment, trauma-informed mental health treatment, and physician-supervised medically assisted treatment. Because service impacts the whole household, we focus on empowering family systems to create long-term stability and health for every veteran we serve.

Local Neighbor Testimonial

Steadfast Support for Military Families and Loved Ones Worldwide

“I am very grateful to the FARC facility in Ft. Lauderdale. Addiction is a lifelong journey, so finding a place that is supportive and welcoming is important. I live 15 hours away from my loved one, that was there in treatment. Forrest kept in constant contact with me. He answered my questions, which I had many, even after hours, plus was very supportive to me. I can not say enough good things about Forrest. Even after discharge, he continued to keep in touch and offer guidance. He made me feel, that he was truly interested in a successful outcome. The program was exactly what was needed at the time. I am so thankful that God guided us to FARC, the staff, and continues to guide in the recovery.”
