South Florida Addiction Treatment Programs

There are many different paths to addiction. In addition to mental and emotional disorders, it’s quite common for circumstantial and situational factors to contribute to the development of a substance use problem. For our clients who have experienced or are experiencing some type of crisis or trauma situation, Principles Recovery Center offers crisis intervention support.

Clinical treatment isn’t the only piece of the recovery puzzle. At Principles, we offer a number of supplementary services to provide a richer and more well-rounded recovery experience.

For example, case management is something that benefits many of our clients, especially those who may need a greater level of collaboration and support when it comes to assessing, planning, and facilitating substance addiction treatment or post-treatment support. This is particularly helpful for dual-diagnosis clients.

For clients who suffer from co-occurring psychological or even physical health disorders, Principles Recovery Center ensures continued support and care by referring those clients to specialists in their communities. Similarly, we offer in-depth alcohol and drug addiction education to our clients and to their loved ones.

Long-term substance use disorder can cause chemical changes in the brain. These changes often result in irregular and unpredictable mood swings that could escalate to outright anger.

Since uncontrolled anger is a relatively common effect of long-term substance addiction, Principles Recovery Center offers anger management support to clients enrolled in any of our programs. We help clients find healthy ways to express their emotions while teaching them strategies to vent their anger in productive endeavors.

The experience of active addiction is completely different from what it’s like to be in long-term recovery. Individuals who are ill-equipped for lasting sobriety often experience a form of culture shock once they return home, which is why Principles Recovery Center works hard to make sure each of our clients becomes comfortable and confident in recovery. We call this our acculturation.

Although addiction has the greatest impact on the individual suffering from it, it’s important to remember that addiction is a “family disease,” meaning that it affects every member of the family. 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, partners, and children of our clients.

When your loved one is attending our treatment program, we aim to encourage your 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 for youth in their teens.

Being under the influence of mind-altering drugs frequently makes individuals behave in ways they otherwise never would. With certain substances, intoxication can even result in aggressive or violent behavior. For this reason, the Principles curriculum includes a seminar on violence prevention, showing the importance that we place on the safety of our clients 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 programming. In fact, clients enrolled in our program will be introduced to the Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous, as well as the methodologies of other faith-based fellowships.
