About Broward Health Medical Center
Broward Health Medical Center is a hospital based provider of addiction treatment in Fort Lauderdale, Florida offering inpatient rehab and dual diagnosis care within a full service medical campus.
I discovered the hospital combines substance use treatment with emergency and Level I trauma services which makes it well suited for medically complex patients and enables the hospital to handle crisis situations.
Addiction Treatment With Experiential Therapies
Care is delivered in a hospital setting allowing patients who need both medical and behavioral health support to receive treatment in one location.
Inpatient rehabilitation provides a structured, supervised environment for adults working toward recovery from substance use disorders. Clients can expect addiction and nutritional counseling, experiential therapies, and medication management.
The team uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and dual diagnosis treatment which I know supports those managing both substance use and mental health disorders.

Addiction Treatment Programs
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you're over the age of 65, elderly rehab in Florida gives you the opportunity to be in a treatment program with your peers. This tends to be helpful for older adults because they can receive mutual support and acceptance from their peers. These programs are specifically designed for seniors.
Levels of Care
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.
Inpatient drug rehab in Florida allows you to receive round-the-clock supervised care while living at the facility. A combination of treatment interventions is typically offered, including individual and group therapy, nutritional counseling, experiential therapies, and medication management.
