Recovery from Drug & Alcohol Addiction at Beachway

Personalized Treatment for Drug & Alcohol Addiction

At Beachway, our addiction recovery programs offer a full spectrum of care to meet your individual needs and address co-occurring mental health conditions. Starting with medically supervised detox, patients receive 24-hour support to manage withdrawal symptoms safely while our psychiatric team evaluates mental health needs.

Residential Inpatient Care provides an immersive healing environment with intensive therapy, including individual counseling, group therapy, and psychiatric medication management when appropriate. Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) allows structured treatment during the day while spending evenings at home, perfect for those needing intensive support while maintaining family connections.

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and standard outpatient services ensure long-term support as patients reintegrate into their daily lives, with continued access to mental health services and psychiatric care.

Comprehensive Mental Health & Addiction Treatment

Understanding that addiction rarely occurs in isolation, Beachway specializes in dual diagnosis treatment for individuals struggling with both substance abuse and mental health conditions. Our integrated approach addresses:

• Depression and Addiction: Treating the underlying sadness and hopelessness that often fuel substance use
• Anxiety Disorders: Managing panic, social anxiety, and generalized anxiety without relying on substances
• Trauma and PTSD: Addressing past experiences that may have led to self-medication through drugs or alcohol
• Bipolar Disorder: Stabilizing mood while maintaining sobriety
• Personality Disorders: Developing healthy coping mechanisms and relationship skills

Our psychiatric team works closely with addiction counselors to ensure coordinated care that treats the whole person, not just the addiction.

Detox and Withdrawal Support in Florida

The detox and withdrawal timeline typically lasts under a week, though mental health symptoms may need longer stabilization. Beachway begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine the safest approach for withdrawal management and assess any co-occurring mental health conditions.

When appropriate, medical detox protocols include supervised care, medication-assisted treatment, and psychiatric medications to manage underlying mental health symptoms. Our primary goal is to help patients achieve initial sobriety safely and with dignity while stabilizing their mental health.

Trauma-Informed Care Approach

Recognizing that trauma underlies many addictions, Beachway employs trauma-informed care principles throughout all treatment levels. Our approach emphasizes:

• Safety and Trust: Creating secure therapeutic environments where healing can occur
• Choice and Collaboration: Empowering patients in their recovery decisions
• Cultural Humility: Respecting diverse backgrounds and experiences
• Specialized Trauma Therapies: Including EMDR, somatic therapies, and trauma-focused CBT

We understand that traditional therapy approaches may not work for everyone, especially those with complex trauma histories, so we offer multiple pathways to healing.

Daily Life in Addiction Recovery

Each person at Beachway follows a custom treatment plan tailored to their specific addiction and mental health needs. Patients choose from specialized treatment “tracks” such as faith-based programs, trauma-focused care, or mental health intensive tracks. We also offer gender-specific groups and carefully match patients with therapists who best suit their clinical needs and personal preferences.

Daily schedules include evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT alongside specialized mental health interventions such as mindfulness-based therapy, emotion regulation training, and psychiatric consultations. Holistic activities including yoga, massage, acupuncture, and art or music therapy complement traditional treatment. This well-rounded care model encourages healing of the mind, body, and spirit while addressing both addiction and mental health concerns.<

Family-Centered Recovery Support

Addiction affects entire families, not just individuals. Beachway’s comprehensive approach includes:

• Family Therapy Sessions: Healing relationships damaged by addiction and mental health struggles
• Family Education Programs: Teaching loved ones about addiction, mental health, and recovery
• Support Groups for Families: Connecting families with others who understand their experiences
• Communication Skills Training: Rebuilding healthy family dynamics and boundaries
• Continuing Family Support: Ongoing resources for families throughout the recovery journey

We recognize that strong family and social support systems are crucial for long-term recovery success.

Common Signs Someone Needs Addiction and Mental Health Help

Addiction and mental health symptoms often overlap and can mask each other. Common signs that someone may need comprehensive treatment include:

• Strong cravings to use substances daily, especially during emotional distress
• Using substances to cope with depression, anxiety, or traumatic memories
• Risky behavior or poor decision-making while under the influence
• Escalating tolerance and dependence alongside worsening mental health symptoms
• Ongoing use despite negative consequences at work, school, or in relationships
• Financial strain due to substance use
• Social withdrawal, mood changes, and isolation from loved ones
• Inability to manage emotions without substances
• Sleep disturbances, appetite changes, or other physical symptoms
• Thoughts of self-harm or suicide, especially when using substances

Early intervention addressing both addiction and mental health can make a life-changing difference.

What to Expect During Addiction Recovery Treatment

The daily schedule at Beachway varies based on individual treatment plans and mental health needs. Patients are given options to choose from various groups or “tracks,” such as “dual diagnosis track,” “faith-based track,” or trauma-informed care programs. Some patients may participate in intensive mental health treatment alongside addiction recovery, including psychiatric medication management and specialized therapy for conditions like PTSD or bipolar disorder.

Some programs are tailored to specific demographics and clinical needs. There are programs designed specifically for young adults, though Beachway doesn’t provide treatment for people under 18 years old. We carefully match patients with therapists based on clinical specialization, gender preference when appropriate, and cultural considerations to ensure the best therapeutic relationship possible.

Overall, Beachway helps patients take control of their treatment while medical professionals and mental health specialists provide comprehensive care in a supportive, nurturing environment that prioritizes safety and healing.

Detoxing and Withdrawal Timeline with Mental Health Support

The detox and withdrawal timeline varies but usually takes less than a week for physical symptoms, though psychological and psychiatric symptoms may require longer stabilization. At Beachway, detox begins with a comprehensive evaluation during which trained medical providers and mental health professionals assess both addiction severity and co-occurring mental health conditions.

This dual assessment determines the best withdrawal management plan, which may include medications for withdrawal symptoms as well as psychiatric medications for underlying mental health conditions. Our goal is to help patients achieve sobriety while managing uncomfortable or potentially dangerous withdrawal symptoms and stabilizing their mental health for ongoing recovery success.

Evidence-Based Methods of Care

Beachway implements evidence-based addiction treatment and therapeutic modalities alongside proven mental health interventions, emphasizing individualized treatment plans and holistic healing approaches. Treatment may include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): For both addiction and mental health conditions
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): Particularly effective for emotion regulation and trauma
• Motivational Interviewing: Supporting readiness for change
• EMDR and Trauma Therapies: Addressing underlying traumatic experiences
• Medication-Assisted Treatment: For both addiction and mental health conditions
• Group Therapy: Peer support for addiction and mental health recovery
• Family Therapy: Healing relationships and building support systems

Additionally, alumni receive access to supportive activities and ongoing mental health resources to reinforce and empower those who’ve completed Beachway’s comprehensive recovery program to maintain their sobriety and mental wellness.

Daily Schedule with Integrated Care

Daily activities emphasize both therapeutic modalities and mental health support services offered at Beachway. Alongside traditional addiction treatment, patients engage in mental health-focused activities such as emotion regulation groups, mindfulness training, and psychiatric consultations.

Wellness-centered activities including yoga, massage, acupuncture, and physical therapy support both addiction recovery and mental health stability. Music, art, and equine therapies, alongside nutrition and life-skills workshops, help address underlying issues influencing both addiction and mental health conditions.

Signs That Someone May Need Comprehensive Addiction and Mental Health Support

Addiction and mental health conditions don’t present the same way in every person. Some people function in their day-to-day lives, holding jobs and maintaining relationships while struggling with internal battles involving both substance dependency and mental health symptoms.

Generally, signs that someone may need integrated treatment include:

• Having intense urges to use substances regularly, particularly during emotional crises
• Self-medicating depression, anxiety, or trauma symptoms with drugs or alcohol
• Spending money on substances even when it’s unaffordable, especially during mental health episodes
• Engaging in risky activities while using substances or during mental health crises
• Inability to stop substance use despite wanting to, particularly when struggling with mental health
• Building tolerance to substances while mental health symptoms worsen
• Having problems at work or school related to both substance use and mental health
• Showing behavioral changes that impact relationships, including emotional volatility
• Expressing hopelessness, worthlessness, or thoughts of self-harm
• Using substances to sleep, wake up, or manage daily emotional states

Treating both addiction and mental health conditions simultaneously is essential for lasting recovery. Comprehensive support from loved ones and mental health professionals invested in dual recovery is necessary to maintain both sobriety and mental wellness.

Commonly Abused Substances and Related Mental Health Concerns

Many substances can result in addiction and often worsen co-occurring mental health conditions. Each poses unique challenges during rehabilitation, from requiring medical supervision during detox to managing withdrawal-induced mental health symptoms. At Beachway, comprehensive therapy support is available for the most common substances that result in addiction, with specialized attention to related mental health impacts:

• Alcohol – Often used to self-medicate depression and anxiety
• Cocaine – Can trigger or worsen anxiety and paranoia
• Methamphetamine – Frequently associated with psychosis and severe depression
• Prescription drugs – Often begins as legitimate mental health treatment
• Opioids – Commonly co-occur with depression and trauma histories

Addiction Recovery Costs and Insurance Coverage Explained

Just as no two addictions are the same, neither are the costs for individual patients or their mental health treatment needs. Costs can vary based on insurance coverage, financial assistance programs, and the extent of services required, including psychiatric care and specialized mental health treatment.

Understanding that financial concerns shouldn’t prevent access to life-saving treatment, Beachway employs insurance specialists to assist in navigating potential resources to reduce costs. They are well-versed in both addiction treatment and mental health coverage and may be able to assist with payment options.

It may also be possible to redirect money previously spent on substances to cover treatment costs. Many insurance plans now provide parity coverage for mental health and addiction treatment. Ultimately, recovery from addiction and mental health conditions, and the benefits that comprehensive wellness brings, are invaluable investments in your future.

Transform Your Life Through Comprehensive Recovery

Addiction and mental health conditions don’t have to control your life. Comprehensive recovery brings many benefits, from improved physical and mental health associated with sobriety and emotional stability to increased personal growth opportunities. Finances often improve after recovery, and relationships with friends, family, and the community become healthier and more authentic.

When both addiction and mental health are addressed together, individuals often experience:

• Greater emotional stability and resilience
• Improved relationships and communication skills
• Better ability to cope with life’s challenges without substances
• Increased self-awareness and self-compassion
• Renewed sense of purpose and hope for the future

The future becomes brighter when both substances and mental health struggles are properly addressed through comprehensive, integrated treatment.
