Why Choose The Healing Place

The Healing Place offers West Palm Beach residents a unique approach to treatment that incorporates a faith-based structure. Unlike other treatment centers that only use the 12-step model, we offer our patients an opportunity to reconnect with their faith again and begin to incorporate that within their newfound way of sobriety. Often when you become entrenched in your addiction, many lose touch with their belief systems as you encounter hard times. We offer our patients a safe space to reintroduce their belief systems through faith-based programming as well as 12-step models where you can learn to lean on your higher power.

Addiction is often a lonely place to be, and many begin to feel as though no one else in this world could understand the hardships they are going through. This makes it easy for you to isolate yourself and avoid reaching out to others as you are going through the trials and tribulations of addiction. Patients often feel a sense of relief when they come through our doors and begin their addiction treatment program from the amount of care and support provided to each of our patients.

Our dedicated staff provides individualized care and specific attention to detail when formulating your rehab schedule. Every patient who comes to us has come from a different background, and your addiction began for unique and specific reasons. That is why we firmly believe that treatment cannot be viewed as a one size fits all model. To fully heal from your addiction, your therapy sessions and tools that you learn for relapse prevention will need to be centered around your story with substance use to recover from your past and build a new, healthy lifestyle in recovery. You will be given opportunities to learn more about yourself and your addiction through our evidence-based treatment methods paired with 12-step models of healing and alternate forms of healing. Truly healing from addiction means completely revamping your usual way of life and changing it to a more holistic, vibrant life where you take care of your mind, body, and soul.

How Our Alcohol Addiction Treatment Program Works

When you want to end your alcohol use, it can often feel like alcohol is everywhere you turn due to the high level of normalcy around alcohol use in modern-day society. The Healing Place offers patients a safe space to remove themselves from the distractions and triggers that are riddled within society and allow you a space to focus on your recovery and treatment entirely.

Before you can begin your alcohol addiction treatment program, you will need to ensure that you are physically and mentally healthy to complete your alcohol rehab program. Many patients will need to enter into an alcohol detox program first, where you can safely remove the influences and toxins of alcohol from your body and mind. When you use alcohol for a continuous period, your body becomes physically dependent on it to function at an average level. Once you cease using alcohol, your body will resist the change and produce unpleasant and, sometimes, dangerous side effects known as withdrawal symptoms. While some symptoms are mild to moderate and don’t pose a risk to your safety, some patients may experience severe withdrawal symptoms that have the potential to become life-threatening.

Patients that have had long bouts of alcohol use are more at risk of experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms. In some cases, patients will experience delirium tremens (DT’s), which cause the most severe side effects that have the potential for posing a danger to your life. If you are experiencing DT’s, you must participate in a medically supervised detox program where your symptoms will be monitored and treated by nurses and physicians.

Alcohol detox will typically last between 7-10 days, and patients will often feel the peak of their withdrawal symptoms between days 3-7. During your alcohol detox, you will be provided with medical care, including medications, if necessary, to help ease the severity of your symptoms and maintain your physical and emotional safety and well-being.

Once you are feeling healthy and stable, you will transition into your alcohol rehab program. You will meet with one of our counselors, who will work with you to identify your goals and hopes for treatment and create a specific treatment plan centered around your goals. Your days will consist of individual and group therapy sessions where you will be able to look within and identify the root cause of your addiction is. After pinpointing what has been impacting your ability to remain sober, you will be able to learn new life skills that will keep you on track for sobriety, including tools for emotional regulation, skills for avoiding relapse behavior, and managing triggering emotions and thoughts. When you are not in therapy sessions, you will have the opportunity to connect with other patients during your free time, where you can access our great amenities. Patients will also be invited to participate in 12-step meetings to help prepare and get you familiar with the support group format for when you graduate from your alcohol rehab program.

How Our Drug Addiction Treatment Program Works

Drug addiction can look different for many residents of West Palm Beach. While the nation is enduring an opioid epidemic, many other illicit drugs are on the market, affecting millions of Americans each day. Drug addiction often does not happen by choice. It usually occurs accidentally as many begin to use drugs recreationally and as a quick method of escaping day-to-day life. It is safe to say that no one starts using drugs to become hooked and dealing with the devastating side effects of severe drug addiction. The Healing Place offers residents of West Palm Beach a drug addiction treatment program that will help you release the hold addiction has on you and allow you to rediscover yourself through positive growth and change towards recovery.

These illicit drugs are incredibly addictive, and many users who begin using these substances become easily and quickly dependent on them to function each day. That is why patients are recommended to enter into a drug detox program before starting their drug rehab program within The Healing Place. It is hard to know your physical and emotional reactions once you stop your use of drugs until you begin your drug detox. To ensure that you will safely remove the influences of drugs from your body, you should be under the careful supervision of medical professionals who will be able to give you proper medical care, either through medications, holistic measures of treatment, or alternative healing methods that will work to keep you safe and comfortable. While most withdrawal symptoms are manageable and don’t pose a risk to your overall safety, there is potential that your symptoms could produce discomfort or pain and, in some cases, pose a threat to your general well-being.

Patients will usually experience withdrawal symptoms within 8 hours after using drugs. Symptoms will begin mild, and you will feel the peak of your symptoms within 3-7 days. During this time, nurses and doctors will be monitoring your progress and may include medication assistance to help ease the severity of your symptoms to keep you calm and relaxed. Patients will begin to feel healthy and stronger, typically, by days 7-10.

After you complete drug detox, you will move into your drug addiction treatment program. Patients will have the option of choosing a 30, 60, or 90-day program depending on their level of need and preference. During your stay with us, you will be invited to participate in our center’s important therapeutic sessions, including individual therapy sessions. Through the evidence-based methods of therapy provided, you will learn more about what has been the driving factors for your addiction. Once this is identified, you will have the support of our counselors to effectively process the emotions and memories that are tied to your addiction. From there, we want to work with you to develop new coping methods that lead you away from drug use and utilize healthy coping strategies that will include methods of natural healing through holistic measures. Our staff is dedicated to helping you find a new way of life and creating a new daily routine that fosters your newfound life in sobriety. Many believe that you will no longer face hardships when you get sober. Unfortunately, life still happens even when we are sober, but what does change is your ability to manage the ups and downs of life while still remaining clean and sober. You will become an expert in managing your emotions and thoughts through your drug rehab program’s critical life skills and relapse prevention tools.

How Our Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment Works

Prescription drugs made significant breakthroughs in the medical world to treat mental health or physical conditions, specifically ones that produce feelings of pain or discomfort. The unfortunate downside to these medications is that they can become highly addictive if misused. While your medical conditions are genuine and you need support in managing them, other natural ways of healing and coping will keep you away from these dangerous and addictive side effects that prescription drugs produce. The Healing Place offers patients a comprehensive approach to prescription drug addiction treatment that will provide them with new healing methods through various avenues of treatment that move past the use of medications.

If you have engaged in prescription drug use for an extended period, your body has become reliant on these medications to function normally each day. Often, it is too dangerous to abruptly stop using these medications due to the severe side effects that can ensue. Patients should enter into a detox program where medical professionals can monitor them while safely removing these substances from their bodies. Patients may need to slowly taper off of these medications while in detox to allow their body time and space to safely adjust to functioning without using these addictive medications. Once you complete your detox program, you will be transitioned into your prescription drug addiction treatment program.

Prescription drug use often starts because of a pre-existing medical concern that you were trying to treat and manage with drugs. An effective rehab program will not only look at healing you from your addiction but also look at ways of coping and healing from your co-occurring medical concerns. Patients will be offered to participate in a dual diagnosis program where you will learn new, natural methods of managing your co-occurring disorder through holistic and alternative ways while also removing the harmful effects of prescription drug addiction. During your treatment, you will gain perspective on how your addiction and co-occurring disorder impact one another and learn the skills to live in sobriety and wellness at the same time effectively.
