The Recovery Village Palm Beach at Baptist Health Drug and Alcohol Rehab

Full Spectrum of Evidence-Based, Trauma-Informed Therapies

The Recovery Village Palm Beach offers a full continuum of care, with services from medical detox through inpatient, outpatient, and aftercare planning including telehealth therapy. Programs emphasize evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), both of which help clients get to the root causes behind their behaviors and habits and learn to adapt them for positive change. The center also features eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), which can be highly beneficial for clients healing from trauma. An affiliation with Baptist Health South Florida reinforces comprehensive oversight across all levels of care.

Resort-Style Accommodations

Clients stay in private, residential-style rooms, ideal for those who are highly sensitive to crowded spaces and experience social anxiety. The center provides access to a range of amenities, including a fitness center, pool, yoga and meditation spaces, outdoor recreation areas, a computer room, and casual activities like horseshoes. Designed to feel welcoming and non-institutional, the environment encourages social engagement and connection. Staff intentionally foster community, helping individuals avoid isolation and supporting emotional stability during recovery.

Specialized Dual Diagnosis Treatment

The Recovery Village Palm Beach specializes in dual diagnosis care, providing integrated treatment for people with substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Rather than treating substance use and mental health issues separately, the center’s programs address both together, recognizing the complex relationship between mental health and substance use. This helps clients build a foundation for lasting recovery.

Exercise and Nutrition as Essential Elements of Recovery

Physical wellness is a key part of the recovery process at The Recovery Village Palm Beach. Clients are encouraged to participate in regular, structured exercise, as it is known to support dopamine regulation, helping to repair body systems damaged by substance use and improve mental health outcomes. Nutritional support is also emphasized, with healthy, chef-prepared meals designed to help restore energy, balance mood, and correct any malnutrition or metabolic imbalances. These integrated approaches help clients rebuild strength and establish healthy routines.
