Broward Addiction Recovery Center (BARC)

About Broward Addiction Recovery Center (BARC) – Coral Springs, Florida

BARC – Broward Addiction Recovery Center – Stephen R. Booher Center, located in Coral Springs, Florida, is an addiction treatment center overseen by the Broward County Human Services Department. They serve Broward county adults, aged 18 and older, providing treatment for substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. Services include medically managed detoxification; individual, group, and family counseling; and case management services. Inpatient, residential and outpatient treatment options are available. BARC also has a residential perinatal addiction program for pregnant women and a residential program for women with children under the age of 8 years old. They are Joint Commission accredited. Payment for services is determined using a sliding scale fee structure that is based on income level and family size.

The BARC Triage and Detoxification Unit is a 50 bed detox center managed by an addiction doctor. Nursing staff monitors patients around the clock, and counseling is provided by mental health professionals. Medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid and alcohol use disorders uses FDA approved medications.

Residential treatment at BARC is provided in a 93 bed, dormitory style facility and generally lasts about 60 days. Medical staff, licensed counselors, mental health specialists and case managers provide treatment. Residential treatment takes place in two phases, with stabilization, addiction and relapse prevention education, and life skills training offered in the first phase. The second phase continues these strategies and introduces family involvement and 12 Step peer recovery support programming. Residential treatment also includes family centered educational programming, job skills training and vocational assistance.

Outpatient treatment at BARC includes a six to eight week intensive outpatient program that meets in group sessions three hours a day for three or more days each week. Individual sessions are included as needed. General outpatient treatment offers group sessions covering family issues, emotional regulation strategies, problem solving strategies and social skills training. General outpatient treatment lasts for approximately six months, based on individual needs.

As a psychotherapist, I am impressed with the quality of treatment offered at BARC, which is more comparable to that found at a private rehab than at a government subsidized rehab. Past clients have been especially pleased with the staff’s attentiveness and the amenities available, including the quality of the food.
