DO NOT COME HERE OR SEND YOUR KIDS HERE. And please let me explain that I am not a disgruntled former client, or someone who has a grudge, but someone who just completed 152 days and completed the entire PHP and IOP program.
Now as for groups and therapists, this place is top notch. Now every group isn't going to be great, but the nice thing is the group facilitators make it interesting. They also have a bunch of great therapists, with Gina, the trauma therapists, being far and beyond the best trauma therapist I have ever encountered. Addy does a great job managing meds and Danielle, is another superhuner.
Another really nice thing they do in PHP is "Adventure Therapy". You can go 2 out of 3 times a week and it's things like paddle boarding, scuba diving, nature walks, etc. They definitely break up the week.
Also, the other staff there is amazing. Addy, who manages 70ish clients meds, is superhuman and the doctors who come in as well. The first major issue with Bright Futures, however, is that your meds will NOT be on time. Meadows pharmacy, which is their in house, is a disaster. You will be ripped off your psych meds, or subs, because they cannot get them dropped on time. Just in my group, it took 15 days to get anti-seizure meds and 10 for insulin. 100%. Now once you get to IOP, you can pick up your meds yourself at CVS.......but good luck getting them to send it there, even after sending there for months. You can also do it in PHP Plus.........let me explain.
So this facility has created, or should I say AL, is a level called PHP Plus. It's a blend between PHP and IOP. PHP hours (6 hours and 6 days), but with IOP benefits such as your phone/housing/freedom. It is quite the cash grab, because PHP Plus was something "you earned". Now, if you can chew gum and walk at the same time, you are in. It's not hard to see why billing 6 hours and 6 days a week is more financially beneficial that IOP's 3 hours and 3 nights. It's right there in the numbers and the main reason why so much relapse has heppened here.
Now for why to stay FAR away from here. His name is AL and he is the Operations Manager. Now Al is someone who I defended for the first month or so. I really appreciated his "gritty, aggressive, NY in your face" approach. That was until the real person came out. You are only good to Al while they are billing your insurance. Once that is over, Al doesn't care at all. He is very good at pretending he cares, that's a fact, but he doesn't. It's all part of his facade. That "aggressive and in your face" approach isn't fun anymore when he is in YOUR face screaming. It all depends on whether or not he took his bipolar meds. That is also not to be funny.......he is completely two different people.
His major flaw and your downfall will be that he micro manages everything. He would manage what you ate and drank as well, if that were possible. He is judge, jury, and executioner in the building. No one makes a decision without ol' Uncle Al, putting his 2 cents into it. This goes for housing issues, client relationships, medication and med management, clinical, therapy, and your personal lives too. You can ask anyone a question there and the response is "bring it to Al". It wouldn't be such a big deal when you did, if he didn't question everything else.
There is no way I can put the way Al makes you feel into words. It is just like having a violent and abusive father, who you don't know when he is coming home, so you present fear. It is best to be standby for the blowup, because it's coming and might not even be about you. He claims he runs a "community of compassion and love". What he runs is a facade of a facility, one based on him as the higher power, which everyone must worship. Staff, therapists, techs, and clients. One can only run that type of ship for so long. The cracks started happening while I was there and it was sad to watch.
Best to you in your journey to sobriety. I was really torn about writing this and my sponsor said it is important to tell the truth.
I highly recommend Bright Futures for their exceptional support and care. My close friend who struggled with addiction, received outstanding help from their team. From the moment he arrived, the communication was clear and the quality of care was top-notch. Bright Futures went above and beyond to ensure his needs were met, and I'm grateful for their dedication to all patients who walk through the doors. I will always encourage anyone seeking help to consider Bright Futures while on their journey.
So if you feel like being ordered around by a drill sergeant on top of having rules for a rule then this is the place for you. The only reason why I'm giving it two stars is because the groups are good and the counselors are great. Other than that, the director, AL, which is there every morning, Is narcissistic and he picks and chooses the ones that he likes and does not like. From the day I got there he started ridiculing me immediately. Then after that, I had issues with my medication, they made me drowsy. I explained that it was my medication and he told me to get off of them because he thinks that I was getting high. From that point, I quit my medications cold turkey. Then I was infected with food poisoning, and he also thought I was high. So I took a drug test and he told me no matter what he doesn't believe the drug test that I could of put stuff in it to make it clean when I haven't went anywhere for the whole time I was there. Then after that, it was nitpicky stuff with my shirts being inappropriate, which they were not. He's a Nazi with clothing. He also started reprimanding me for my makeup, telling me to stop wearing it, then he told me I need to drink water everyday to hydrate myself and walk on the treadmill for the whole hour when I go to the gym because I needed to get my energy up. On another occasion, he has group meetings in the morning where he does nothing but complain about what we did wrong over the weekend. During this meeting, my friend said that she was going through a divorce. Right after she shared I shared that my aunt has cancer. He comes in the meeting and tells everybody that the girl that shared about her husband needed extra attention and support from her peers and never said anything about my aunt. That one hurt! The final straw was when the tech, Melissa, which she is another reason why I'm giving it two stars, took a picture of my DIRTY LAUNDRY in the closet and showed it to Al, saying look they're closet is a mess. I went into group the next day and he told me he needed to have a talk with me I thought he was going to apologize, however, he began to chastise me and explain to me how I'm not worthy enough for being PHP+ because of my closet situation that's not how a PHP plus person acts, when it was laundry that was not just mine, but my roommates as well. He never once said anything to her only to me. That was the final straw that was when I confronted him about how I felt he was treating me. He had me feeling discouraged depressed and not worthy. He told me that all of that stuff had nothing to do with the closet, or should I say the dirty laundry, that I'm just looking for an excuse to get out of being reprimanded. I kept clearly explaining to him that that was not the case that I felt like he was bullying me and we did not see eye to eye so he told me if I didn't like it I could leave. From then he had me sit in the front office not attending groups as I waited for my family to come and pick me up. Once he seen it I was serious about going home then he changed his whole personality he gave me a hug and apologized, that was fake. I did decide to stay home because I felt my recovery was more important than his narcissism and so I called my family and told them not to come. However, it must have burned him alive because later on that night when I had plans to go and see my sponsor, he told me that I had to go make up the hour that I spent sitting in the front office at clinical. He was the one that had told me to go sit up in the front so I did not feel it was fair that I had to make up the hour. From that point I called my sponsor and got her opinion and so we had agreed upon that it was best for me to leave. Once again I called my family and my 80-year-old grandmother had to get on the highway at 7:00 at night in the dark to come and pick me up all the way from fort Lauderdale. I had asked if he could get me an Uber so I could go home and make it easier on my grandmother but he told me no because I was leaving which he had told me to do. Worst experience ever!

Accepted Insurance
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.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
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.
Financing your treatment can make treatment more accessible. You'll work with your care provider to set up payment plans, including interest rates and repayment timelines. Financing options vary widely and not all programs offer them, so be sure to get the full details before enrolling in treatment. If you have insurance or other benefits, financing may help you cover your remaining out of pocket expenses.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
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.
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.
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.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome dependency related to a wide range of addictive substances. Programs address both the physical and mental aspects of addiction in order to help you make a full recovery.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
When you have a mental health disorder and an addiction, it's known as a co-occurring disorder. Since treating both conditions at the same time is critical, you'll want to seek out a dual diagnosis treatment center. These specialized rehabs offer the care needed to overcome both disorders, which drastically increases your chances of success in long-term recovery. Types of therapies provided tend to include individual and group counseling, relapse prevention education, coping skills training, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
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 (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
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 addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.
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.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Substance abuse creates biochemical imbalances in your body and brain. By implementing dietary changes, you can restore that balance. This is the goal of nutrition therapy in Florida. You'll gain an understanding of what nutrients your body needs and learn best self care practices.
Recreational therapy helps you recover from addiction by giving you structured activities that promote your physical health and mental well being. These activities could range from sports and fitness to creative arts and provide a constructive outlet for your emotions and stress.
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
One benefit of nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) in Florida is variety. NRT comes in multiple forms that you can use in different ways. This allows you to choose the form that works best with your needs and lifestyle. Your options include gum, patches, inhalers, and prescription medication.
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.
Eye Movement Desensitization and ReprocessingRational behavior therapy is used in addiction treatment to teach you to challenge and change irrational beliefs and thought patterns that contribute to substance abuse and addiction. Using cognitive and behavioral techniques, your therapist teaches you to manage negative emotions, reduce your cravings, and maintain your sobriety.
