[Call (954) 677-8787](tel:9546778787) [Verify Insurance](#farc-insurance-target) Accreditations & Licensing If you are not sure which level of care fits, or you are calling about someone else, we will work through it with you before anything is decided. Call (954) 677-8787, or the 24-hour helpline on (877) 800-REHAB. [(877) 800-REHAB](tel:8778007342) **Structured Community Support:** Most people in both our Partial Hospitalization Program and Intensive Outpatient Program live in our on-site community housing for the length of treatment; attending from home is available for people whose situation calls for it. **Integrated Dual Diagnosis Care:** We provide combined treatment for individuals addressing substance use and psychiatric concerns simultaneously, ensuring complete and sustained recovery under one coordinated clinical team. ## Levels of Care High Structure### [Partial hospitalization program](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/partial-hospitalization-program/) A partial hospitalization program is the most structured level of care we offer short of 24-hour residential treatment. Treatment runs 9:00am to 2:30pm, Monday through Saturday. Most people in our PHP live in our on-site community housing for the length of the program; attending from home is available for people whose situation calls for it. It suits people stepping down from inpatient care, and people for whom weekly therapy has not been enough to hold things steady. Flexible Schedule### [Intensive outpatient program](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/intensive-outpatient-treatment/) An intensive outpatient program runs three hours a day, Monday through Saturday, with day and evening options, which leaves more of the week free. Like PHP, IOP is usually paired with our on-site community housing, though attending from home is available for people who need that flexibility. It works for people who are further along, or who are holding down work or family commitments alongside treatment. Many people step down into IOP after completing PHP. Integrated Living### Community housing Community housing is how we run PHP and IOP for most people, not an optional add-on. You live with other people in the program rather than returning each evening to the environment where the problem developed. Most of the risk in outpatient treatment sits in the hours outside the building, and this changes what those hours look like. Living from home during treatment is available if your situation calls for it, and we will talk through whether that fits on the first call. ## Conditions we treat Each of these has its own page with what treatment actually looks like: Targeted Care ### [Anxiety](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/anxiety-treatment/) Including panic attacks and generalized anxiety that has stopped responding to weekly therapy. [View Treatment Details →](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/anxiety-treatment/) Daily Contact ### [Depression](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/depression-treatment/) Where daily contact, clinical structure, and routine do what a single appointment a week cannot. [View Treatment Details →](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/depression-treatment/) Psychiatric Meds ### [Bipolar disorder](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/bipolar-treatment/) Both bipolar I and bipolar II, managed closely with psychiatric medication management and mood stabilization. [View Treatment Details →](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/bipolar-treatment/) EMDR Therapy ### [PTSD and trauma](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/ptsd-treatment/) Addressing core psychological wounds through evidence-based [EMDR](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/emdr-therapy/) and specialized [trauma therapy](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/trauma-therapy/) . [View Treatment Details →](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/ptsd-treatment/) Dual Diagnosis Focus ### [Co-occurring disorders](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/co-occurring-disorders/) Where psychiatric mental health conditions and substance use are treated simultaneously under one multidisciplinary team, rather than in disconnected sequence. [View Dual Diagnosis Care →](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/co-occurring-disorders/) ## Why we treat mental health and addiction together A large share of people who come to us for substance use are also managing anxiety, depression, or the aftermath of trauma. The reverse is just as common: someone arrives for a mental health condition and drinking or using is part of how they have been coping with it. Treating one and ignoring the other is why some people cycle through treatment repeatedly. If the depression that preceded the drinking is untouched when someone leaves, the reason for drinking is still there. [Dual diagnosis treatment](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/co-occurring-disorders/) means one clinical team, one treatment plan, and both conditions addressed in the same sessions. Not a referral to a separate provider who never speaks to the first one. ## How we treat 🧠[Cognitive behavioral therapy](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/cbt-therapy/) › Works directly on the specific thought patterns and behavioral loops that precede a mental health crisis, giving you clear, actionable strategies when you notice triggers starting. 🛡️[EMDR](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/emdr-therapy/) and [trauma therapy](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/trauma-therapy/) › Specialized desensitization protocols tailored for the unresolved traumatic experiences underneath outward behavioral symptoms. 💊Psychiatric medication management › Carefully reviewed and refined by licensed psychiatric medical providers as treatment progresses, rather than set once and forgotten. 👥Group sessions › Hearing your own struggles described by someone else breaks isolation and does clinical work that individual therapy alone cannot replicate. 🗣️Individual counseling › Conducted regularly with your dedicated primary therapist to review core objectives, track personal goals, and refine interventions. 🏡[Family involvement](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/family-program/) › Because the home support structure and family dynamics you return to directly affect whether recovery and stability hold over the long term. ### Insurance and getting started We verify insurance before you commit, so you know what is covered before treatment starts rather than after. See [insurance options](https://addictionandrecoverycenter.com/insurance-options/) for the plans we work with. The first step is a conversation about what has been happening, what you have already tried, and what your situation at home looks like. From that we recommend a level of care. If the right answer is somewhere other than here, we will say so.

Words cannot express how thankful I am to The staff at Florida recovery and addiction center. My two nieces were there and the treatment they got was magnificent. They made them feel like their lives were worth getting clean. They showed them love, and what life could be like without an addiction. They made them feel whole and confident again and for that I will always be thankful. I would truly recommend them to anybody.

Our programs treat mental health conditions that occur alongside substance use, and that combination is what this center is built for. If you are dealing with a mental health condition on its own, call anyway and we will point you toward a provider who handles that. How is outpatient mental health treatment different from seeing a therapist? + A weekly therapy appointment is one hour out of 168. Outpatient treatment at this level means daily or near-daily contact, a group, medication management, and a clinical team that sees how you are actually doing rather than relying on your summary of the week. Can I keep working? + During PHP, usually not full time, because it occupies most of the day. IOP is designed to leave room for work and family. Many people start in PHP and step down to IOP for exactly this reason. What happens on the first call? + We ask what has been going on, what treatment you have had before, and what your circumstances are. We verify insurance. Then we recommend a level of care. Nothing is committed to on that call.
