Addiction and mental health care from a single team
Which dual diagnosis program treats Pompano Beach residents?
At our licensed facility, dual diagnosis treatment in Pompano Beach puts your drinking or drug use and your depression, anxiety or trauma on one plan, handled by one team.
You see a psychiatric provider and a therapist who talk to each other about you every week.
When two separate teams treat the two conditions, each one keeps setting the other off. Treating both at once is how our addiction treatment in Pompano Beach works for anyone who drinks or uses to cope.
How soon can dual diagnosis treatment start in Pompano Beach?
Within a few days of calling. When detox has to happen first, you start it that same day, as long as a bed is free.
Admissions asks about your drinking or drug use and about your mood, sleep and any diagnosis you already carry, then checks your insurance on the same call. Your intake includes a psychiatric assessment, which means your plan covers both conditions from the first day.
Who needs dual diagnosis rehab in Pompano Beach?
You need it when drinking or using is how you quiet anxiety, low mood, panic, memories or racing thoughts, or when a mental health diagnosis keeps returning as you get sober.
Signs that point here:
- You feel worse, not better, in the weeks after you stop drinking
- A doctor has prescribed for depression or anxiety, and alcohol is still in the mix
- Earlier treatment worked on the drinking or the mood, but never both
- Sleep falls apart without a drink or a pill
You do not need to know which came first, the drinking or the mood. Your assessment sorts that out, and your plan treats both from the start.
Which conditions does our dual diagnosis program treat?
Depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD and trauma, panic disorder, generalized and social anxiety, and grief, each one treated together with your alcohol or drug addiction.
The NIAAA guide to treatment for alcohol problems names depressive and anxiety disorders as common conditions alongside alcohol use disorder. Your psychiatric provider confirms what you are dealing with at intake, and your plan names each condition and how your team treats it.
Which services does dual diagnosis treatment include?
Psychiatric Assessment at Intake
Your psychiatric provider sees you at the start, so your plan covers both conditions from day one.
One Team for Mood and Drinking
Your therapist and psychiatric provider share notes every week.
Medication Checked Against Medication
Your prescriber reviews antidepressants, mood stabilizers and craving medication side by side.
Trauma Therapy at Your Pace
Trauma-focused sessions move only as fast as you choose.
Every Level of Dual Diagnosis Care
Live-in, PHP, IOP and outpatient all carry the psychiatric side with them.
Dual Diagnosis Insurance Checked Once
Admissions verifies the mental health and addiction benefits in the same call.
How long is the trip to psychiatric care from home?
Psychiatric Care Visits From Palm Aire
Pompano Parkway and Atlantic Boulevard bring you in about 15 minutes outside rush hour. Weekly visits fit before or after work.
Psychiatric Care From Collier City
NW 27th Avenue to Atlantic Boulevard takes about 15 minutes. Admissions books visits that miss the busiest traffic.
Care After a Hospital Stay
If a Broward hospital discharges you after a Baker Act hold, call us before you leave. We book your intake for that week.
Does integrated treatment work better for alcohol use disorder?
Yes, when a mental health condition sits underneath the drinking. Integrated care treats both at once, so neither one drags the other back.
Alcohol use disorder treatment on its own leaves the anxiety that drove the drinking untouched. Mental health care on its own leaves the drinking in place. With one team, your therapist hears from your psychiatric provider before each session, and your medication plan accounts for both. Our main dual diagnosis treatment page covers the approach in full.
Do you need residential or outpatient dual diagnosis care?
How severe both conditions are decides your level: a live-in stay when symptoms are heavy, PHP or IOP when home is safe.
If your mood dips hard at night or home makes staying sober difficult, you start in residential rehab. If you sleep somewhere safe, partial hospitalization gives you near-daily psychiatric attention. From Palm Aire or Collier City, a psychiatric visit sits about 15 minutes away outside rush hour, which makes the outpatient levels workable from anywhere in the city.
What happens to your care after a Baker Act hold?
As a Baker Act hold in Broward comes to an end, you or the discharge team call admissions, and your dual diagnosis care starts within the week.
The days after a hold are when you most need a plan. We take the facility’s discharge notes, check your insurance and book your intake before you leave. Your psychiatric provider picks up the medication the hospital started, so nothing lapses between the two.
Which therapies treat co-occurring disorders?
Trauma-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, plus family sessions whenever your family wants to take part.
CBT works on the thoughts that feed both the mood and the drinking. DBT builds skills for strong emotions without a drink. Trauma-focused sessions go at your pace and never push you faster than you choose.
Licensed Dual Diagnosis Treatment
A licensed psychiatric and clinical team treats both conditions.

Family Sessions in Recovery
Your family joins sessions when you want them there.
Which medications can your psychiatric provider adjust?
Antidepressants, mood stabilizers and anxiety medication, alongside naltrexone, acamprosate or buprenorphine for cravings, adjusted together by one team.
Your prescriber and psychiatric provider check every medication against the others, so your mood treatment and your craving treatment never work against each other. If a medication you take now carries a risk with alcohol, your team tells you and plans the change.
For drinking, naltrexone cuts the pull of a drink and acamprosate eases the restless weeks after you stop, and the NIAAA guide lists both among the approved medications for alcohol use disorder. If you take a sleeping pill or a benzodiazepine for anxiety, your psychiatric provider plans a slow taper and a replacement before anything changes.
Who treats you in dual diagnosis rehab?
Your team is a psychiatric provider, a licensed therapist, a prescriber for withdrawal and cravings, nurses and a case manager, all on one plan.
Your team meets about you every week and changes the plan together. Your case manager deals with work, leave forms and the follow-up appointments you need after discharge.
Does insurance cover dual diagnosis treatment in Pompano Beach?
Yes. Florida Blue and other Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, Aetna, Cigna and UnitedHealthcare cover dual diagnosis treatment when your plan includes behavioral health benefits.
Admissions checks the mental health side and the addiction side of your benefits in one call. Your share comes down to your deductible, whether we are in-network, and your copay. The verification costs you nothing, and if your plan sends mental health claims to a separate behavioral health company, admissions checks that one too.
How can your family get a loved one into treatment?
Call admissions first. Together we work out what to say, and if your loved one is in danger and turns down help, Florida law opens a court route for your family.
The Marchman Act covers substance use, and in Broward you file that petition in person, with no fee, at the Clerk’s Mental Health office at 201 SE 6th Street in Fort Lauderdale, about 25 minutes south of Pompano Beach. Our intervention services team walks you through the conversation before any court step.
What happens after dual diagnosis treatment in Pompano Beach?
Your psychiatric provider stays with you as you step down, your medication stays steady, and you go home with a plan that covers your mood and your recovery.
Your plan builds a daily routine around your mood, because the empty hours after treatment are where low mood and cravings find you.
City lifeguards watch the public beach from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. every day, and the Fisher Family Pier stretches nearly 900 feet out over the Atlantic for a morning walk with sun on your face. Old Pompano puts the library and the arts venues downtown within reach for quieter days.
Discharge planning starts in your first week. Ahead of your last day, your case manager books your follow-up psychiatric visits and your outpatient therapy, your prescriber confirms your medication plan, and you leave with the names of the people to call on a bad night. If symptoms return, you step back up a level with the same team instead of starting over somewhere new.
Pompano Beach is a city of 112,046 people, and your alumni group keeps you connected to others in recovery after treatment ends. Nearby cities have their own pages: dual diagnosis treatment in Fort Lauderdale, in Deerfield Beach and in Coral Springs.
