ABOUT WELLNESS RESOURCE CENTER
Situated in the beachfront community of Boca Raton, Fla., Wellness Resource Center offers a phase-based, residential treatment program designed for adults struggling with chemical dependency and co-occurring mental health disorders. The abstinence-based program also offers specialized services for individuals with substance abuse disorders and autism spectrum disorders.
Although Wellness Resource Center does not provide detoxification, clients may be referred to non-affiliated detox partners in the area.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
To form an individualized treatment plan, clients participate in an initial substance abuse and psychiatric assessment. Wellness Resource Center’s residential program is divided into three phases. During the first phase, a partial hospitalization program, clients adhere to a structured schedule of educational and therapeutic programming. While residing in community housing, clients attend the day program from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. five days per week.
Along with a 12-step introduction, which includes nightly meetings, clients participate in individual and group psychotherapy, as well as experiential therapy and gender-specific groups. Clients may also participate in equine therapy, and family involvement is highly encouraged. Through the facility’s Family Program, loved ones are invited to attend psychoeducational seminars held bimonthly and participate in family counseling on an as-needed basis.
Lasting between 30 and 60 days, Phase two offers clients more freedom, as individuals transition from the day program to outpatient services. While continuing to reside in community housing, clients attend up to nine hours of weekly programming and receive case management. During Phase two, clients are expected to seek full-time employment.
The optional Phase three includes transition into an associated sober living facility, where clients continue to receiving ongoing support, drug testing, and a level of supervision.
