About Amikids Greater Fort Lauderdale

AMIkids Greater Fort Lauderdale Residential Treatment provides specialized care for at risk young men in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Many clients are referred from the juvenile justice system, the Courts, or child welfare agencies. This facility offers addiction treatment and collaborates with community centers to connect youth to peer support.

An Alternative Solution for Young Men

One thing I really like about their approach is that it supports and encourages rehabilitation instead of punishment. Along with substance use treatment, they offer anger management and social emotional counseling. Their ultimate goal is to create positive behavior changes. Your teen can benefit from returning home and learning from their mistakes to become a productive member of society.

Empowering Youth With a Strengths Based Approach

I also appreciate their emphasis on building on strengths. They help your child realize their potential and make better life choices. They’re committed to providing personalized care and motivating troubled youth toward lasting success.

Academic and Recreational Activities for Growth

Upon arriving, you’ll find a welcoming campus equipped with classrooms for continuing academic studies during treatment. Your child can enjoy a secure, dormitory style living space that encourages a sense of community and peer support. Athletic and activity areas are also available so kids can participate in social engagement and sober fun.

Former Clients Highlight a Transformative Impact

Another great thing I noticed was their positive feedback. Previous patients described the program’s profound impact. Some described how it helped them appreciate education and develop productive life skills. Parents and former clients also noted behavior and self esteem improvements as well as a brighter outlook after completing the program.

Amenities

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Residential Setting

Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.

Adventure Therapy

Hiking is a great way to relieve stress, get perspective, navigate challenges, connect with nature, and improve your health - all essential components of sustaining long-term recovery. Studies also show that the body releases endorphins during physical activities like hiking. These endorphins improve mood and act as a natural pain reliever.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Teen & Adolescent Program

Young adults often develop addiction for different reasons than older individuals. That’s why a young adult program in Florida focuses on the unique pressures, needs, and challenges faced by young adults.

Adult Program

Treatment at an adult program in Florida addresses the needs of each individual as they work toward recovery. Programs are designed for men and women ages 18 and up, and include a variety of treatment protocols to match the severity of the addiction, type of substance, and personal situation.

Alcoholism

Each alcohol rehab in Florida offers unique amenities and approaches, but most follow the same general guidelines. Treatment includes detox, rehabilitation, and maintenance. This is a proven approach to provide the greatest results for long-term recovery.

Men's Rehab

Gender-specific addiction treatment gives men who are struggling with substance use disorders a connection point to other men with similar struggles. This common ground can make a huge impact on men’s rehab in Florida.

Women's Rehab

Often, women who have a substance use disorder also have a co-occurring disorder. Women’s rehab in Florida often addresses both the addiction and mental health disorder with dual diagnosis treatment.

Opioid Treatment

Opioid rehab in Florida provides the care you need to help you safely and comfortably navigate a path to recovery. Treatment addresses both emotional and physical aspects of addiction, offering individualized tracks and custom programs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Florida helps people in treatment to revisit painful thoughts and memories and learn new ways to cope with them. These newly-learned techniques replace substance use and help the individual maintain sobriety.

Drug Rehab

Florida residents who are struggling with substance abuse don’t have to face their challenges alone. Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome addiction and make a full recovery.

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT)

Therapists use rational emotive behavioral therapy in Florida to help individuals evaluate their irrational beliefs surrounding their substance use behaviors. This therapy helps participants change patterns of thinking and behavior to overcome addiction.

Levels of Care

Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient rehab in Florida focuses on relapse prevention and long-term recovery. It typically includes several counseling sessions per week as well as membership in a support group such as NA or AA. This treatment can last several weeks or several months, based on your ongoing needs.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

If you are struggling with both an addiction and a mental health disorder, treatment for dual diagnosis in Florida is necessary for successful recovery. This multidisciplinary approach treats both substance abuse and co-occurring disorders such as bipolar disorder, eating disorders, depression, or anxiety.
