About this care
Addiction treatment
Ambrosia treats alcohol and drug addiction, and the mental health conditions that often travel with it. Every person’s situation is unique. Programs help people identify underlying causes, build coping skills, and leave with a plan to maintain recovery.
An estimated 44.6 million people aged 12 or older in the United States have a substance use disorder. Addiction does not mean a lack of morals or willpower. It is a complex disease of mind and body: compulsive, repeated use despite serious consequences. It can start with a drink after work or a pain prescription after surgery. Over time the brain changes, larger doses are needed, and the body begins to depend on the substance to function. Treatment works. SAMHSA, NSDUH
Treatment can begin with medically supported detox in West Palm Beach, then continue through inpatient, partial hospitalization, or outpatient care at Singer Island, Port St. Lucie, and West Palm Beach.
Rehab options
Addiction is unique to the person. Families should know which level of care fits now — and that the plan can change. Alongside intervention, the main options are:
- Detox
Medical and clinical support through withdrawal, with a plan for the next stage of treatment.
- Inpatient or residential treatment
Structure, accountability, and several therapy sessions each week in a residential setting.
- Outpatient treatment
Partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient care that keep clinical support in place with more flexibility.
Mental health and dual diagnosis
Nearly 1 in 5 U.S. adults is affected by mental illness — depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, OCD, trauma-related illness, and more. These conditions occur on their own or alongside substance use. About half of people with addiction also have at least one mental health concern.
- Mental health treatment
Psychiatric and therapeutic care to reduce symptoms and treat the conditions that often sit underneath substance use.
- Dual-diagnosis treatment
When both are present, treating them together is more effective than sequencing one after the other.
