Beachcomber Family Treatment Center

About Beachcomber Family Treatment Center – Fort Lauderdale

You can find Beachcomber Family Treatment Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This facility offers addiction treatment services for adults. Located on West Commercial Boulevard, you’re in close proximity to the beach and to the Everglades Wildlife Management Area. The intensive outpatient program and trauma therapy are a few of the services available to help you overcome your addiction.

One of the services that stands out the most at this facility is their LGBTQ Group Therapy. The sessions are led by a licensed therapist who has experience helping LGBTQ individuals. In some cases, the stress associated with being a member of a marginalized community can sometimes cause people to abuse substances.

Clients being in a setting where they know they’re accepted can support the addiction recovery process. You’ll be able to discuss issues related to your sexuality or gender and learn coping skills to deal with the challenges that come with being an LGBTQ individual. An additional specialized group offered at Beachcomber Family Treatment Center is the Family of Origins Group, which caters to clients who were not raised by their biological parents.

I like that this facility offers multiple evidence based therapeutic approaches to cater to the needs of their clients. These approaches may include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, mindfulness, and positive psychology. With trauma sometimes being the cause of addiction, EMDR can be useful for helping trauma victims process their distressing memories.

Whether you’re taking a walk on the beach or swimming in the ocean, there are numerous activities available in Fort Lauderdale to help support your recovery. You can also spend a relaxing time visiting the Bonnet House Museum & Gardens or walking at the Hugh Taylor Birch State Park.

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.

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.

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.

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.
