The location in Fort Pierce has a unit with 30 beds that provides adults with a safe place for crisis stabilization. They also offer detox for adults. Going through detox is a necessary first step for beginning your recovery.
You’ll get medication assisted treatment (MAT) to get through your detox with as little discomfort as possible. While you’re in detox, you’ll also have psychosocial and medical treatment. If you’re dealing with substance use and a co-occurring disorder, a case manager will help you connect with supportive services in your community. They may also help you find supportive housing.
Co occurring disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia are common in people with substance use issues. The substance is often a way to deal with the symptoms of the underlying disorders. Through psychosocial rehab, you’ll get an understanding of how to deal with your symptoms without turning to substance use.
The psychiatric services available include diagnostic evaluation, inpatient and outpatient treatment, medication management, and other treatment recommendations from the doctor. The inpatient program provides stabilization and detoxification so you can move back to the community and begin an outpatient program.
The outpatient program (OP) helps you stay on your sober journey. You’ll have help from licensed mental health providers, doctors, and nurse practitioners. Outpatient services help you stay focused on recovery, teach you resilience, and help you avoid relapse.
There are many disgruntled former clients who felt the care they received wasn’t respectful with one person saying their staff was rude. Other former clients felt the agency helped them or a loved one with their sober journey.
