About Family First Adolescent Services

This rehab program takes a holistic and individualized approach to addiction recovery. They emphasize building a connection of respect and understanding with the teenagers and getting them involved in their treatment planning.

Throughout your child’s program, they’ll have a well rounded variety of therapies and treatment strategies. They’ll have individual therapy and group therapy. They’ll have recreational and holistic therapies, too, like equine therapy as well as CrossFit, paddleboarding and group excursions.

You don’t have to worry about your child falling behind in school while they get the treatment they need. This rehab has an academic program on site, so they’ll be able to keep up with their education or even catch up or get ahead. This program focuses on identifying each child’s strengths and helping them work toward their future goals whether it’s college readiness or pursuing a trade.

I noticed that this treatment center has a big focus on your family, too, and not just your teen. There will be family therapy sessions throughout the program. They’ll work with you to help you understand your teenager’s challenges and behaviors and learn how to help them after they get home. Plus they have ongoing alumni support and aftercare treatment, so you always have someone to turn to for guidance.

Clients and parents have great things to say about this rehab center. They say that it strikes the right balance between compassion and accountability and that the staff here really understands teenagers and what they need for meaningful recovery. Parents also say that they were very happy with how well the staff here communicated with them during their sons’ programs.

Family First was welcoming, professional, and truly child-centered. They supported my son through a stressful period and gave me peace of mind every step of the way. I would recommend them to any family who needs help.

We had a very positive experience at Family First. The team was compassionate, professional, and truly cared about our son and our family. From start to finish, we felt supported and well cared for during a very difficult time. We’re incredibly grateful for the impact they made in our lives.

The quality (and quantity) of staff is impressive, and their personal investment in the success of each kid and family is genuine. Great communication, therapeutic services and follow-up. A gem of a program that helped set my teen son on a solid path to recovery. Follow-up one year later: The Alumni support is also amazing! As my teen son continued to navigate the challenge of recovery, the Alumni Support team provide guidance, monthly check-ins and jumped in to help when he had a relapse to get him immediately connected to resources in the area in which he lived. They always say, "Once a you're part of the family, you remain family." It is true - they live up to that promise. Can't say enough good things about this program overall.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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

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.

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.

equine-therapy iconEquine Therapy

Group therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for people in Florida who are struggling with drug addiction. There you can openly discuss the challenges and progress you're making without fear of judgment from your peers who experience many of the same things you are.

Individual therapy often includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This is a structured approach to identifying and changing negative thought patterns. During therapy you learn how what you think drives your actions so you can develop healthier coping strategies to manage addiction triggers and reduce drug use.

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.

Your mind, body, and emotions interact in complex ways. Experiential therapy addresses all three of these aspects. Interactive and creative activities provide physical sensations and evoke emotional responses. These offer insight into how you interact with the world and any negative patterns you need to change.

This facility, run by inexperienced "therapists" etc. (recent college graduates who are underpaid, without parenting experience) - tore my family apart. Please do your research before admitting your child here. They do not follow laws and court-ordered parenting plans, and although they say they are "Family First" - they are not. They have no idea how to run therapy sessions and bridge the child to the parent. My relationship with my child is WORSE due to their inexperienced, unqualified, unstructured involvement. Do your research! If you want a healthy relationship with your child, DO NOT admit your loved one here.

The communication is horrific. They started my son on meds didn’t tell us. He leaned on a wall that was previously damaged and not fixed properly and we had to pay. There has been zero improvement and I regret sending him there. Karina is the lead therapist who makes up unrealistic goals like saying our son should go play baseball after all the trouble he’s been in. Tim lies and doesn’t return calls and NO ONE calls to inform us what is going on. We have left many voice mails for April the nurse and she has yet to call. We are still the parents and family first is a joke. Karina has let our son be in control and they allow him to do whatever with zero consequences.

This is what they would serve for lunch about three times a week called “chicken piccata” tried a little bit once got food poisoning they didn’t care, this was posted by a staff member on Instagram and even the staff knew how bad this was, do not send your kid here they serve absolute slop and “meal replacements” will also leave you starving as they only let you get 1 pack of ramen as your entire meal if you don’t want to eat some slop like this. Mind you they would also leave the food out for hours and hours in a box before serving it even after it was brought over hot just to mess with our heads.
