Northlake Recovery

They are set up for 4 levels: inpatient residential, outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of West Palm Beach, 3 offer a bed.

They provide detox for 5 substances: opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and West Palm Beach has 8 other centers.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The nearest alternative is in Palm Beach Gardens, under a mile away, if the age is the thing that rules this one out.

There are 8 more within a short drive of West Palm Beach, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

One of their programs is built for clients with a mental health diagnosis as well, which usually means a separate group rather than the same room with a different label, and it is the only one named here.

There is no single figure, and anyone who quotes one before asking you anything is guessing. Outpatient care costs a fraction of residential care, and for a lot of people it is the right level anyway. If the number is impossible, say so plainly, because the funded alternatives are real.

The treatment is the same. What changes is that attendance is reported to whoever ordered it. People who arrive under an order do about as well as people who arrive voluntarily, which surprises most people. Ask who signs the completion paperwork and how long it takes.

Residential care is a bed and a program. Outpatient care is a schedule of appointments. A clinician settles this on risk, history and circumstances, and the assessment is a single appointment. Describe the house you would be going back to, because that is the detail that decides it.
