Substance
Abuse Treatment Assessment
To achieve long-term recovery,
we treat more than the symptoms of addiction
in our drug rehab program. Causes must be
identified and consequences assessed. Our
behavioral healthcare team comprised of psychiatrists,
addictionologists, psychologists and social
workers assess a patient’s full history,
including sociological background, psychological
makeup, educational and work history, family
and marriage difficulties, and medical issues.
We provide dual
diagnosis and can identify and treat
any co-existing mental health problems that
might complicate treatment or impede recovery.
Drug and alcohol abuse relapse prevention
begins as soon as you’ve made this
important step toward alcohol abuse treatment
or drug abuse treatment.
Addiction Treatment Center
Admission
Admissions to our drug
rehab program are accepted seven days a week.
A trained professional,
capable of making a recommendation that
is unique to each person's substance abuse
treatment
needs, including dual
diagnosis will conduct the
initial assessment and begin the individualized
treatment
process. Preparing
for Admission
We’ve prepared the following information
to help you prepare to enter our drug and
alcohol abuse treatment program. All
patients can expect to be treated respectfully
in a safe, supportive
environment. We are committed to maintaining
our legal responsibility to protect each
patient’s confidentiality.
During the program, you
may want to have some spending money on hand,
about $250.
You may cash one check in the amount of $100
through the Admissions department only. No
cash back on debit cards is available. Transitions
Recovery operates a store on the premises
that sells toiletries, books, stamps, greeting
cards, t-shirts, etc. and accepts credit
cards. There are also services available
that require payment at the time services
are rendered, including massage and salon
services.
Smoking
Smoking is addressed as
an addiction. You will not be able to purchase
tobacco products
during your stay. If you do plan to smoke,
you may bring your own cigarettes. Smoking
is permitted only in certain limited
areas. Smokeless tobacco is prohibited.
Telephone,
Mail & Fax
Patients are encouraged
to make phone calls only after the first
3 days of treatment.
When you arrive, you’ll be allowed
to call someone to notify of your safe
arrival. Telephones in the lobby are only
activated during parts of the day. Phone
cards are available for purchase. Any mail should be addressed to:
Patient’s Name
c/o Transitions Recovery
1928 NE 154th Street
North Miami Beach, FL 33162
Mail order packages will not be delivered
to a patient while under substance abuse
treatment without authorization by their
primary therapist.
Patients may receive faxes at (305) 945-6074,
but we ask that family members use discretion
with this privilege.
Travel
Patients are responsible
for their own travel arrangements to our
Florida rehabilitation
center. If traveling by air, bus, or train,
we’ll meet you at the airport or
station. (Please provide a physical description
so we can recognize you.)
During the admissions
process, the patient will provide a list
of family or significant
others to invite for participation. The
patient’s therapist will contact
these family members and provide them with
information about our family
program.
Patients should remember to bring addresses
and phone numbers
for all those he or she wishes to invite.
If you have any questions about other considerations
for your stay with us, please don’t
hesitate to call us at (800) 626-1980. We
look forward to having you with us.
