Drug addiction is a complex and progressive disease that can severely impact the addict, their family, their friends and the community. If you or a loved one is struggling with substance abuse, finding the best drug treatment programs is of utmost importance. However, with all the treatment options that are available, the process of finding an addiction treatment facility that best suits your needs can be a challenging and frustrating process. Finding the perfect drug rehab facility can give you or your loved one the best chance at breaking the cycle of addiction and achieving the serenity and peace that is found in long-term recovery.
The Palm Beach Institute was founded in 1970 and was the first private drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in the state of Florida. We offer clients a multidimensional and comprehensive treatment approach, which recognizes that each individual has a unique path to recovery. As the premier Florida-based substance abuse facility, we are able to offer our clients a full range of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services for those who struggle with substance abuse as well as their families. For more than 45 years, The Palm Beach Institute has provided clients with the expertise needed to start living a life free of drugs and alcohol.
Located in West Palm Beach, Florida, The Palm Beach Institute provides quality client care and treatment for individuals who reside in Florida or other states. We offer a wide range of services that include a multitude of substance abuse treatment therapies that are highly effective and evidence-based. We also offer medical detoxification services in a clean and closely supervised environment as well as partial hospitalization services and continuing care plans for all clients. The Palm Beach Institute is both nationally and internationally recognized for its commitment to excellence in substance abuse treatment.
In addition to traditionally based therapy, counseling, and medical care services, the experienced staff at The Palm Beach Institute also offers supplementary drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs that help clients achieve long-term recovery that encompasses the mind, body, and spirit. Programs such as recreational therapy, comprehensive aftercare programs, and alumni programs are examples of the multidimensional and comprehensive approach we offer at The Palm Beach Institute. We deliver these programs within a supportive and safe atmosphere, which helps the addict gain confidence, support, and empowerment, freeing them from the ravages of addiction. This multidimensional approach that is employed by the staff at The Palm Beach Institute recognizes that each individual is unique with a distinct set of characteristics involving race, culture, life history, drug of choice and using style, among other traits.
Recognizing the fact that each person responds to different therapeutic and counseling approaches, The Palm Beach Institute has also established a unique approach to family therapy, psychiatry, and mental health counseling in addition to substance abuse counseling and therapy. An example of this approach would include alternative therapies such as the use of an emerging technique called psychodrama. With this therapeutic technique, therapists use guided drama and role-playing exercises to help patients uncover those specific past issues and events, which lead to addictive behaviors. Clients recreate the life situations within their family structure— in both their immediate and extended family—to uncover those traumatic life events.
Raised in a "good home," I was dealing drugs and a full-blown addict by age fourteen. In two months, I celebrate getting my one-year sobriety chip. To celebrate, I’m going to Israel to live on a Kibbutz for two months. Raised in an upper class, low-crime neighborhood in a family that was supportive and loving, I wonder how I became an addict? My journey into the world of addiction started as it...
Read MoreI'll start by saying this, if you're an addict or alcoholic, you've been born with a "warped" set of ideals. The things you want, and the things you think you need, are often going to put you in situations that make your life worse. You think that everyone may be out to get you and that your discomfort and problems are caused by the people and places around you. That...
Read MoreThe Palm Beach Institute is a wonderful recovery/treatment center. They have a great and caring staff that shows alot of individual attention. The property and facilities are wonderful. The center felt like a day spa most of the time. The groups were incredibly informative and gave me a great understanding of why my life was not as good as it could be and what I could do to help correct...
Read MoreIt takes courage, awareness, willingness and love to leave our teens in the hands of strangers, as I did my own son at seventeen years of age. He went voluntarily with a Sober Escort: a young man who lives his recovery, as I knew it would be better for Chris to transport Alex to The Palm Beach Institute. Then, a wavering, worried mother, it was the best gift I could have...
Read MoreMy name is Mike S., and I am a resident of New Jersey. After many years of sobriety, I relapsed. I was, again, trapped in the miserable abyss of my active alcohol addiction; and, once again, I was unable to stop my drinking. I asked several friends of mine about rehabs. They recommended The Palm Beach Institute. I was fortunate enough to be admitted to in July of 2009 for...
Read MoreSix months prior to my arrival at The Palm Beach Institute, I went to a New Jersey rehab, reluctantly. There were over 125 people there, and it was very demoralizing. Even though the food was great, and I was able to follow directions well, I was not like the people there. They had money, family, houses -- they had it all. When I left there, I drank within twelve hours....
Read MoreAt first, I was not exactly happy with the place because of rules. certain groups, staff, and little things like that. Once I was able to look past that and look at myself, I realized this place is actually here to help us; and, all the groups are very informative. The staff was able to help me recognize the underlying character defects I have and gave me a ton of...
Read MoreI came to The Palm Beach Institute because it was in Florida. When I first got here, I hated the place because all they wanted me to do was talk about my feelings; and, I'm not that type of person. The staff and me always clashed heads, I never wanted to stay in groups ,and I hated my therapist because he wanted me to talk about my stuff. But, when I...
Read MoreMy stay at The Palm Beach Institute was quick but very effective. I stayed for thirty days; and, throughout those thirty days, many of my problems were solved. I was also given tools to attack the problems that I will encounter in the future. Therapists were very open to client opinions and addressed situations in a timely manner. Overall, I am grateful for my stay and the treatment I received.
Read MoreI was a patient at The Palm Beach Institute several years ago and was treated with respect and dignity. The experience was far beyond what I could have imagined! The staff were all courteous and respected my privacy but didn't allow me to get in my own way during the whole process. They called me on my stuff and made sure I was accountable for all my actions! I don't know...
