Questions people ask about Lifeskills South Florida

Is Lifeskills South Florida inpatient or outpatient?

They provide inpatient residential. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Pompano Beach is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

Is detox part of what Lifeskills South Florida offers?

They do not detox. Withdrawal from alcohol or benzodiazepines in particular is a medical event, and the closest place set up for it is in Deerfield Beach, about a mile away.

Is medication assisted treatment available at Lifeskills South Florida?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Deerfield Beach, not all of them do.

Is Lifeskills South Florida an option for someone over 65?

Older adults, plus young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask how the groups are arranged in Deerfield Beach, because a wide age range often still means one room.

How many other options are in this area?

Within 14 miles there are 8 other centers, across Pompano Beach and Boca Raton.

Is there anything in Deerfield Beach besides paid treatment?

Deerfield Beach has 31 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

What questions should I ask a center?

Compare what each one actually provides rather than how each one describes itself. A center that asks you a lot of questions before recommending anything is behaving correctly. Ask what license is held by the person who would actually be treating you.

What if I cannot pay for treatment?

List price and what you actually pay are different numbers, and only the second one matters to you. Some centers hold a small number of funded places and do not advertise them, so the question is worth asking out loud. Ask whether detox is included in the figure, because very often it is billed on its own.
