About Florida Palms Academy

Florida Palms Academy is a highly specialized statewide inpatient psychiatric program. It’s based in Hollywood, a vibrant city near the coast of Florida. This facility focuses on providing intensive inpatient treatment for children and adolescents ages 6-14 who are experiencing severe emotional and behavioral challenges.

It’s an accredited residential center that addresses clinical and educational needs simultaneously. The facility can help with insurance authorization for interested families. Children under Medicaid might see all their costs covered.

Holistic Care for Children & Teens

Comprehensive services at Florida Palms include weekly individual, family and group therapy along with psychiatric consultation and medication management. Regular dental and physical checkups are also given. Although their primary focus is on mental health, they feature substance abuse screening and counseling by a certified addiction professional as needed.

The typical stay here is 4-6 months, during which they emphasize helping children explore emotional issues and develop coping skills in a safe and supportive environment. Please note that they don’t offer emergency services, but I’m sure they can refer clients to the appropriate centers.

Whether Therapy Meets the Classroom

Florida Palms stands out from other facilities for its fully accredited educational program, run in partnership with Broward County Schools. This offering ensures continuity of learning for children receiving intensive therapy to create a sense of normalcy during a challenging time. I’m impressed that they understand that for true recovery and long-term success, academic progress must continue.
