WHY CHOOSE OUR REHAB CENTER NEAR MIAMI

Clinical treatment isn’t the only piece of the recovery puzzle. In fact, any high-quality South Florida addiction treatment center should offer a number of supplementary services to offer a richer and more well-rounded recovery experience.

Among the supplementary services we offer, case management is something that benefits many of our patients, especially those who feel they need a greater level of collaboration and support when it comes to assessing, planning, and facilitating substance abuse treatment or even post-treatment case. This is particularly helpful for dual-diagnosis patients.

For patients who suffer from co-occurring psychological or even physical health disorders, Principles Recovery Center ensures continued support and care by referring those patients in need of specialists in their communities. Similarly, Principles offers in-depth alcoholism and drug addiction education to our patients as part of the general curriculum as well as to their loved ones.

There are many effects that can result from long-term habitual substance abuse, and a number of these effects are related to chemical changes in the brain. When the brain is continually experiencing abnormal neurochemical levels, an individual may experience irregular and unpredictable mood swings that could escalate to outright anger.

Since these kinds of outbursts are relatively common effects of long-term substance abuse, Principles Recovery Center offers anger management support to patients enrolled in one of our programs. This allows us to help patients find healthy ways to express their emotions while teaching them strategies to vent their anger in productive endeavors.

Although we often focus on the effects of addiction on the individual suffering from the substance abuse problem, it’s important to remember that addiction is a “family disease,” meaning that it affects the individual as well as his or her loved ones. For this reason, Principles Recovery Center is not just a destination for drug addiction treatment — we’re also a resource and vital support system for the parents or children of our patients.

When your loved-one is attending our drug rehab program, we aim to encourage family participation in therapy sessions (video available for out-of-state families), educational groups, family groups, and events centered on educating parents and loved ones about addiction, relapse prevention and how the family can help their loved one throughout the recovery process. We also offer Adolescent Services at www.awellnessacademy.com for youth in their teens.

Being under the influence of mind-altering drugs and intoxicants frequently makes individuals behave in ways they otherwise never would. With certain substances, it can even result in aggressive or violent behavior. For this reason, the Principles curriculum can include a seminar on violence prevention, showing the importance that we place on the safety of our patients and their loved ones.

Historically, support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous were one of the only recovery resources available to those in need. Although we have clinical treatment programs to offer today, these recovery fellowships remain a popular supplement to our treatment for addiction in Florida. In fact, patients enrolled in our program will be introduced to the renowned Twelve Steps that are featured in Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, as well as the methodologies of other faith-based fellowships.
