Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Hollywood

Call admissions with them or for them. We plan the conversation, hold a bed and admit them the day they say yes.

Our intervention services team plans with you what to say, when to say it and who sits in the room.

When drinking or drug use has put your loved one in danger and they refuse help, chapter 397 of the Florida Statutes, the Marchman Act, gives a relative the right to ask a judge to order assessment and treatment. Hollywood has its own South Regional Courthouse on Hollywood Boulevard, but these petitions go to the Broward Clerk’s Mental Health Division, inside the Central Courthouse on SE 6th Street in Fort Lauderdale. Admissions walks you through the form before you make that drive.

Who treats you during residential rehab?

One shared plan, worked by nurses on every shift, your prescriber, a case manager, a psychiatric provider and a licensed therapist.

A nurse hands you each dose and looks in on you after dark. Your prescriber settles withdrawal symptoms and fine-tunes any craving medication. Your therapist sees you alone and in groups. Because a psychiatric provider assesses you when you arrive, your team works on depression or anxiety inside the same plan as the addiction.

Your case manager deals with your employer, sorts your leave forms and plans your first week back in Hollywood.

Can family visit you in rehab from Hollywood?

Yes. Your people sit in on therapy from your first week to discharge, and the drive up and back takes about an hour outside rush hour.

Weekend afternoons make the easiest drive up I-95. If your partner prefers the train, Tri-Rail runs from Hollywood station on Hollywood Boulevard to Pompano Beach station, and the last few miles to us go by car. Your therapist sets family sessions around the hours your people can make.

What happens after rehab when you come home to Hollywood?

You come home to Hollywood with outpatient dates booked, a written relapse-prevention plan in your bag and an alumni group expecting you.

Your case manager starts discharge planning in week one. Before you leave, your outpatient schedule sits on the calendar, your medication carries on, and sober housing waits for you if home is not ready yet. State law limits a licensed provider’s sober-housing referrals to certified recovery residences, so any sober home we find you carries Florida’s certification.

Hollywood also hands you a sober place to walk. Chapter 99 of the city code bans drinking and glass containers in the public areas of Hollywood Beach, so the 2.5-mile Broadwalk gives you brick and sea air with no open bottles outside the permitted café seating. Your plan builds in that walk, plus alumni groups you reach on a weeknight.

What if you feel like leaving rehab in week one?

Talk to your therapist first. You are free to leave rehab here, and one honest talk on a hard day keeps most stays alive.

The pull to go home peaks in the first days, when Hollywood still feels close and the evenings feel long. Your team expects it and sits with you through it. Leave anyway, and your case manager puts your name on our outpatient list first, so you still go out with an appointment in hand.
