About Harbor Village

When you call one of their treatment specialists, they’ll gather information about you, answer your questions, set up an intake assessment and begin your treatment at the facility.

Some of the onsite amenities available to you in the residential program are semi-private rooms, basketball and volleyball courts and an on-site chef to prepare healthy meals. The primary treatment methods you’ll be receiving are medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and relapse prevention training. Nurses will provide 24-hour care as you’re administered medication to reduce your withdrawal symptoms. As you make progress, you’ll participate in individual and group counseling. The short residential program can last up to 90 days and the long term program can last up to a year.

One thing I like about this facility is that they offer alternative treatments such as art and music therapy to help you recover. Music therapy is led by an instructor who guides you into activities such as creating and listening to music, singing, or discussing lyrics. Through this form of therapy, you’ll learn tools to recognize and manage your triggers.

Art therapy can be effective by providing emotional healing and helping clients develop self worth. Clients can learn to use art as a new outlet to release their emotions instead of turning to substances. Art can be one of the things you do while you enjoy the relaxing sounds of the ocean on one of Miami’s many beaches. When you’re near the completion of your treatment program, the post-treatment services available to you include sober housing and alumni support.

Ishmael, Indy, Mickey, and the rest of the Harbor Village team put their hearts into helping people find their footing and begin moving forward.

Much love right back to you, Jamie, and we hope you continue carrying those lessons with you for many years to come. 💙

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Harbor Village works with several private insurance providers, 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.

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.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

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 programs 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. Recovering patients visit Harbor Village 3-5 days out of the week for cognitive behavioral therapy, pharmacological therapy, family therapy, and life coaching.

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.

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.

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

Types of creative arts therapy in Florida include playing music, writing poetry, journaling, dancing, painting, and sculpting. These expressive activities can help you process emotions and work through challenges with the guidance of a creative arts therapist.

By incorporating a fitness therapy program into drug and alcohol addiction recovery in Florida, you experience the benefits of regular physical activity on your physical and mental health. Exercise helps you manage stress, improves your mood, and reduces anxiety. It promotes better sleep and provides a healthy outlet for coping with cravings.

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.

This place flew me out from Arkansas and had me in the center 10 days without even verifying my insurance first. Then told me I would have to leave. It was a complete waste of my time. They also refuse to answer the phone at the center, and the system just redirects you endlessly. I had an expensive package of toiletries and hygiene items and photos from home, couldn’t even speak to anyone to locate my package and when I did, they said they never received it. The facility doesn’t look like the photos, and you better hope you like peanut butter and jelly because you will have it… every day.

Trash. Point blank period. HORROR VILLAGE HAS A RING TO IT. Stay away and actually look at the comments and decipher what's real. This place will coerce to hold all of your items including medications? Identification, and cell phone for 72 hours. Great way to kick and an addict on the street after you hook them to subutex, and leave them in the middle of liberty city with nothing. I left with out my prescription of subutex and was charged for it through my insurance. I have filed multiple complaints. I will continue, Sean the so called recovery coach will run you in circles. Hey Sean, I don't have idiot wrote on my head, damn right i had my phone my lawyer told me to so I didn't miss appointments chef👨‍🍳💋. Also it's against the law to hold anyone in recovery unless remanded due to baker act and or marchman act. Money grab sham.

This was my worst experience of any organization in my 54yrs of living and I'm not sure how they're still open. Mice coming out of the furniture, and running around in the living room at night. The over abundance of FLIES, outside and INSIDE of the kitchen is overwhelming to say the least. That's because they keep about 8 completely full garbage cans on the other side of the gate from the kitchen. There were magots crawling around on the ground because they didn't change the trash for some time. It was so bad to where the clients TO OWNERSHIP of their issues and tried to start cleaning up the trash and magots. It was disgusting. Oh, let me not forget the toilets and showers getting backed up with sewage. The SEPTIC TANK is also right outside the kitchen, and it often smells like sh** when you're going to eat. Let that sit with you for a minute... These are FACTS AND ACTUAL EVENTS THAT TOOK PLACE WITHIN THE MONTH I WAS THERE. Staff is extremely rude AF (Sean and Sheila), they get mad when you complain, then yell and scream at you out loud like that of an all out assault , in front of other clients, and call me a complainer because they've dropped the ball, which felt like they were bullying me and trying to get other clients on their bandwagon, on top of that, those two were telling me to just leave. The nerve!!!! Literally YELLING AT ME, because I'm dissatisfied at how poorly the place was ran. How? Because of ASHLEY'S LYING, I lost all of my belongings from the salvation army. Yet, I'm to be a fawn hopping along in a field with glee??!!!. Most places would apologize, address your concerns, and try to fix it. Not at HORROR VILLAGE (as the clients call it)!! And that, ASHLEY lies more than Satan himself. He would be ashamed of her! I've never been treated so poorly! The food they had catered, would often sit for an hour and get ICE COLD before they serve it, and yes, they served it cold when it should be served hot. There was no Internet to watch tv for almost two weeks, and many of the clients had to use PAPER CLIPS, to rig the TV to make an antenna. Just awful!! I didn't see the doctor not once while I was there, and I really hope they didn't bill my insurance company for it, because that's obviously fraud if they did. New therapist quiting soon after they get there, and being over heard saying, "I'm not going to loose my license for this place". Overheard employees talking about not getting paid, etc... **There were some exceptional pillars holding that dump together and that's Megan, Ms. Jackie (both always encouraged me), Mickey, and my therapist who started the same week I got there Adrielle (he also kept me calm in the storm), However HORROR Village is the name I thought it was all this time, because literally all the clients called it that when I got there. Hearing that along with my personal experience, I tried running out of the building my first night because it was just that disgusting. They ran after me promising me it would be better in residential (told to me by Ashley, liar without a soul). Oh, and the pics they have ARE A TOTAL LIE! They must be from 30yrs ago or something, because that place and the rooms look NOTHING like it! Are these people paying off anyone at FARR, AND CARP, AND whoever else, because I just don't understand how they're open. This has everything to do with the leadership, and the total and complete failure of the leadership to go around and see what's going on with the property, and asking the residents how they're doing and for feedback, and most importantly, STOP LYING AND KEEP YOUR WORD. OMG!!!!!!! Treat your clients with dignity and respect. They're the ones keeping your institution open, not you!! Be GRATEFUL, as you often tell them to me. Show it better than you do... *The name is Harbor Village. Horror Village is the name the clients called it.
