Comprehensive Wellness Centers | Mental Health & Substance Abuse Rehab Center

Comprehensive Wellness Centers is a dual diagnosis treatment facility in Lantana, Florida. Their approach to treatment focuses on treating both the addiction and the causes of it. The goals they want clients to achieve for long term recovery are developing support systems, life and coping skills and health nutrition. Patients also learn how to deal with their triggers. The levels of care at this facility include residential treatment, medication assisted treatment (MAT) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). The facility also has a partial hospitalization program (PHP) available as well. They treat clients for a wide array of substances including alcohol, benzodiazepine and heroin.

A unique thing about this facility is they have multiple specialized programs for helping those struggling with addiction. The academic and vocational programs transition clients back into higher education and help them attain employment. Their academic case management services focus on arranging GED prep work and assistance in college enrollment. The vocational case management services focus on topics such as resume building and employment placement services.

Comprehensive Wellness Centers believes that it’s often the case that addressing a client’s trauma can increase the chances of sustained recovery. Therapeutic approaches that therapists may use on clients to address trauma include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. DBT teaches clients distress tolerance and coping skills to deal with their emotional dysregulation, and EMDR is designed to help clients cope with the experience of negative events in the past.

When clients complete recovery, the alumni program is available for ongoing support. It offers a 24 hour help hotline, an online support group through Facebook and alumni support meetings.
