About Amethyst Recovery Center – Port St. Lucie

Amethyst Recovery Center has an outstanding reputation as an elite residential facility for substance use treatment. They specialize in medical detox and inpatient rehabilitation and are located in Port St. Lucie, Florida. They even address dual diagnosis for clients with both mental health and addiction disorders. Their location on Florida’s Treasure Coast means you’ll enjoy warm weather, easy access to the ocean and the charm of a quiet beach town. Their modern amenities offer a homelike feel.

If you’re seeking optimum comfort and safety in recovery this facility will put you at ease. They’re Joint Commission accredited and LegitScript certified which confirms their commitment to quality care.

Their residential treatment starts with assessment and individualized treatment planning. This is followed by medically supervised detox and inpatient rehabilitation. Detox weans off addiction related toxins from your body in preparation for the main therapy. It involves a safely managed withdrawal procedure with 24/7 supervision by trained physicians. These experts may administer medication if necessary to ease your withdrawal symptoms. This ensures a safe and comfortable detox experience. After detox you can continue your recovery journey via their inpatient rehabilitation. This program involves intense therapy with round the clock support by their staff. Their inpatient recovery approach integrates the traditional cognitive behavioral therapy with a 12 Step model and holistic practices. This is delivered primarily in a group format alongside individual sessions.

The group sessions cover various recovery aspects including anger management, relapse prevention and addiction education. There’s even an expressive art group that promotes recovery via music and art therapy. You can participate in all groups or just the ones that best meet your recovery expectations. For instance, the psychoeducational group can benefit those with dual diagnosis conditions. You’ll also take part in ‘whole person’ therapy including yoga, massage and acupuncture. These promote spiritual and emotional healing. The program emphasizes family involvement and encourages the participation of loved ones at all stages of the recovery process.

Additional services like psychiatric evaluation and medication management may be provided to support patients with dual diagnosis disorders. The length of stay varies among patients. Aftercare services may involve referral to outpatient care within the community for continued recovery. You can join their alumni network for ongoing or even lifetime recovery support. Comments from past clients reflect an overwhelmingly positive experience and exceptional quality of care.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

12-Step

12 step programs such as Alcoholics or Narcotics Anonymous are support group style programs for individuals who are experiencing alcohol or substance use disorder. At Evoke they use a holistic model of addiction care that includes using 12 step programs. These programs are an integral part of most relapse prevention plans and provide continued support and accountability that support sobriety.

24-Hour Clinical Care

24 hour clinical care provides close medical supervision for individuals in the early stages of recovery. Medical professionals monitor individuals around the clock for complications and provide immediate intervention when needed.

Aftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Inpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Intervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Medically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
