Covenant House Florida - Substance Abuse Intervention
One of the largest and best know in the West Palm Area. Buildings are old and also located on a noisy and busy street. Offers treatment scolarships as well as accepting most insurances.
New River Wellness Center
It's a great place that's small with just 5 beds. You create a close knit relationship with staff and other female patients. It's very comfortable and inviting and you learn so much.
Recovery Unplugged
My son is at RU Fort Lauderdale now. I am impressed with the staff, esp. They have stayed in constant contact with me. I recommend sending your loved one who is suffering from Substance Use Disorder to RU.
