About AWA: Adolescent Wellness Academy

The therapeutic day program, otherwise known as a partial hospitalization program, combines drug rehab treatment services with educational support. When you sign up for this program, you’ll receive comprehensive care through individualized treatment plans designed by multidisciplinary treatment teams.
Their program is designed to be safe and welcoming. Adolescent patients will undergo group, individual, and family therapy sessions weekly. Parents also have access to a weekly parent support group and clinical support for crisis management. The length of stay before transitioning to the intensive outpatient program offered by the Adolescent Wellness Academy is four to 12 weeks.
You’ll be expected to attend individual and group counseling sessions after school with licensed therapists, board-certified psychiatrists, and care coordinators. Their therapies include dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
This program has been specifically created to foster substance abuse recovery and help ease symptoms of mental health conditions. Attendance is expected three to five days weekly for patients and participation is required for 10 to 16 weeks.
The Adolescent Wellness Academy understands that parents are often concerned about how they will afford their adolescent child’s substance abuse and or mental health treatment. That’s why they are in-network with most major commercial insurance in Florida. Yet, before enrolling your child, it’s best to speak with your insurer and this center to confirm coverage and establish whether out-of-network benefits are applicable.

Adolescence Wellness Academy is truly a wonderful organization with a real purpose. They have completely changed my nephews life for the better and given my family back. The entire staff has been amazing—caring, supportive, and professional—with not a single complaint thus far. A very special and big “Thank You” to Tiffany, who has been incredibly empathetic, kind, and strong in her role as a counselor. Her compassion and guidance have made such a difference. I am forever grateful for everything this program has done for my nephew, sister, and our family.

Accepted Insurance

AWA: Adolescent Wellness Academy works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient rehabs encompass multiple levels of care to facilitate clients' progress through their recovery journey. Clients who are stepping down from inpatient treatment may require intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment, which involves more frequent and substantive therapeutic interventions than does standard outpatient care. Outpatient centers typically provide extensive addiction counseling, including individual, group, and family therapy. Medication assisted treatment programs (MAT) and recovery-focused life skills training are also common in outpatient care.

inpatient iconInpatient

Clients typically choose inpatient rehab when they are in early recovery or are experiencing a crisis that puts them at an increased risk of relapse. They reside at the treatment center for the length of their program, which may range from two weeks to more than 18 months, depending on the program design. Intensive psychotherapy is often the primary treatment modality, but clients in inpatient care may also receive holistic treatment and recovery-focused life skills training.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Rehab aftercare programs are a collection of highly individualized services designed to promote long-term recovery. These services evolve as your needs change. Case managers and recovery teams typically begin formulating the rehab aftercare service plan early in the recovery process to facilitate your reintegration back into the home, workplace, and community.

12-step icon12-Step

12 step programs support recovery through emotional, psychological, and spiritual development to address the root causes of addiction. These programs are peer directed, with participants regularly attending 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, and accessible day and night, year-round. Recovery is based on "working the steps" to understand the source of addiction, take accountability for one's life choices, and relinquish control for that which cannot be changed. Age-specific, gender-separate, and other specialized programs are widely available.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

A sober living home in Florida often serves as a transitional residence for individuals coming out of inpatient rehab. This helps those in recovery avoid isolation that can sometimes happen after they return home from treatment. It offers a supportive environment where they can practice skills learned in rehab. Offering a combination of structure and freedom, men's or women's sober living is a good stepping stone to independent life in recovery.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

Often referred to as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers an intensive treatment option that allows individuals to return home at night. PHP treatment typically requires a minimum of 20 hours a week for an average of 90 days. Participants attend daily therapeutic sessions, receive medication management, and have access to skilled medical professionals. While costs can vary, most insurance will fully or partially cover a partial hospitalization program.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

24-hour clinical care in Florida is an essential part of treatment, particularly with medical detox. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe, and supervised detox provides around the clock access to medical professionals who can adminsiter proper medications and treatment to address these symptoms and step in should an emergency occur. This intensive clinical care will help curb the withdrawal effects, minimize substance dependence, and prepare you for the next step of treatment.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

The first step of the recovery process involves the removal of all drugs and alcohol from your system while under 24/7 medical supervision. Known as a medically assisted detox, you are closely monitored by medical staff who can provide medications, if necessary, to help alleviate any potential withdrawal symptoms. Medical detox is usually followed by a period of inpatient addiction treatment.

Treatments

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Programs

young-adult-program thumbnail image

Young Adult Program

Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Therapists who apply cognitive behavioral therapy in Florida believe patient thoughts and behaviors are closely linked. They use this treatment method to help clients change their thought patterns so they can also change behaviors and break free from substance abuse.

Dialectical behavior therapy in Florida consists of individual therapy and group instruction. This structured program is a form of psychotherapy that incorporates the development of skills for managing emotions and relationships.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

As a short term therapeutic method, motivational interviewing in Florida requires only a couple of sessions. During these sessions, you'll have the opportunity to talk about your circumstances and any discrepancies between your current situation and future goals. You'll then decide for yourself what changes you want to make.

Trauma therapy helps you work through the psychological impact that traumatic events have had on your life. Your therapist helps you identify the physical, emotional, and mental triggers and develop coping mechanisms. This helps rebuild a sense of safety and trust in yourself and others.

During couples therapy in Florida, your therapist will take steps to get to know you, help you identify feelings, explore the past, develop solutions, and help you learn skills to manage relationship challenges. This process will allow you to work through conflict and strengthen your relationship.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

I needed help for my daughter and didn’t know where to turn. I had called several places and either they didn’t work with teens or they didn’t bother to call back. I found AWA and read the reviews and I thought this place sounds too good to be true, but I decided to call anyway. That was the best decision I could have made. AWA was a God-send for me and my daughter. At first she was not willing to go but when we met with Anny for a consultation, she truly connected with my daughter and convinced her to try the program. I can’t thank them enough for what they did for us. The entire team is amazing and they make you feel like you matter and you belong there. My daughter went from being reluctant to actually looking forward to go. The sessions have taught her so much and allowed her to connect with other teens and see that she is not alone. The weekly parent workshops are amazing. Maria is the best. She has a lot of experience working with teens and she’s able to help parents understand what’s happening and change their parenting approach to better help their child. My daughter is now out of the program and doing so much better. The transformation I see in her would not have happened without her experience at AWA.

Finding AWA was a life changing experience for my daughter (and myself). I didn’t know where to turn and when I spoke with Anny on the phone (followed up by an in person visit), a sense of relief and calm washed over me. She was able to speak with my daughter on a human level, no judgment, no anger, just love and support. The program mixes individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, psychiatry and community to help the teens accept, understand and move forward from whatever brought them to the program. From a parent’s perspective, I felt tremendous support from the entire staff. Never once did either of us feel like we weren’t loved or cared for. From Anny to Dr Jackie to Dr Maria to Carol to the therapists and everyone else that plays a part, the care is extraordinary. Mental health is a struggle and AWA is a safe community for teens to learn how to adapt, overcome and cope in healthy ways. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Ay muchas cosas buenas que decir de AWA En Diciembre 2024 mi hija de 17 años estaba teniendo problemas graves de comportamiento, AS y estaba atentando contra su vida😢. Cuando hable al lugar me dieron cita inmediata y al llegar al centro Anie nos recibio a Mi esposo, mi hija y a mi. Ella fue muy clara, respetuosa pero con mucho caracter (algo que aprecio 1000%) nos regaño a los tres, nos dijo los problemas que nosotros como padres permitimos con nuestra pequeña, Nos hablo tan fuerte y claro que inmediato suppose que teniamos un grave problema con nuestra hija pero a la vez senti mucha paz por que me di cuenta que estabamos en el lugar correcto (Diosito nos puso este grupo de Angeles vestidos de personas) y asi fue como mi hija decidio por ella misma que debia tomar este camino, a la semana asistimos los tres para el inicio de mi hija, y debo decir que cada Una de las personas llamense: Recepción, Terapistas, pisocolgas, coaches etc cada una de ellas siempre nos recibio con una sonrisa y nunca sentimos en la mirada un ser juzgados o criticados por la situación. Cada Jueves ha reunion de padres en una seción de ayuda y es algo tan saludable para nuestras Almas y mentes que esta terapia nos ayuda tanto a entendernos de la parte que hicimos mal y lo que no debemos de seguir haciendo. A la fecha mi hija debo decir que se recupero al 200% esta limpia, es Feliz con su vida y con su familia, tiene metas, otros amigos, esta en mejor forma hablando de nutrition ya que ella tenia problemas de bulimia, estuvo en AWA casi cuatro meses y debo decir que ella ahora esta viviendo Feliz y nosotros como padres seguimos trabajando y nuestra hija también sigue en terapia solo una vez por semana para reforzar todo lo que aprendio en AWA. Asi que si me preguntan si recomiendo este divine lugar? Si 10000% 🥰 Mil Graciassssssss a todas y todos por su gran apoyo y ayuda. ♥️ siempre estaremos en deuda con ustedes!!!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
