The Retreat of Broward serves individuals and families across Fort Lauderdale, Broward County, and surrounding South Florida communities. Many come from Fort Lauderdale, Coral Springs, Boca Raton, and Deerfield Beach looking for trusted inpatient care close to home. As an inpatient medical detox center in South Florida, we provide accredited, medically supervised care for alcohol, opioid, and other substance dependencies. DCF and the Joint Commission have accredited our programs, and our team is direct about what we offer from day one.

Our Addiction Treatment Programs

Our drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs are designed and tailored to meet your needs.

People come to us from across Broward County and South Florida at different points in their lives. Some are in the middle of a crisis. Others have known for a while that something needs to change and are finally ready to act. Our programs cover medically supervised detox in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, residential addiction treatment, and inpatient mental health care. During intake, our clinical team figures out which combination makes sense for each person. We do not fit people into programs and call it personalized. We build a plan around what each person is actually facing.

Detox

Whether someone is coming off opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, stimulants, or other substances, our medical team has the experience to manage what withdrawal brings. Every detox plan is built around the specific substance, the person's history, and what they need to stabilize safely and effectively.

Residential Rehab

Detox addresses the physical side of dependence, but residential rehab is where the deeper work happens. At our Fort Lauderdale facility, people live on-site while engaging in individual therapy, group work, and clinical support from a consistent team focused on building something sustainable.

Inpatient Mental Health

Our inpatient mental health program provides structured clinical care for people dealing with serious mental health challenges, whether alongside addiction or on its own. The same team stays involved throughout the stay, and the level of support available around the clock reflects how seriously we take what each person is going through.

What to Expect During Detox

Starting detox is a real step, and we want you to know what to expect before you get here. Our medically supervised detox in Fort Lauderdale, Florida is built around keeping each person safe, as comfortable as possible, and genuinely informed throughout the process.

24/7 Medical Support 

Medical detox in Broward County means having a team available around the clock. Ours stays close because withdrawal looks different for everyone. Nurses and physicians monitor each person’s condition and address symptoms as they arise, rather than waiting for things to develop. We use medication when it helps ease the process.

A Calm, Supportive Setting 

Our rehab in Fort Lauderdale is quiet, clean, and intentionally low-stress. People going through detox do not need noise or pressure on top of everything else, so we work hard to make sure the environment itself is not adding to what someone is already carrying.

Care That Meets You Where You Are 

Every person who comes to us arrives with a different history, a different substance, and a different set of circumstances. The detox plan we build reflects all of that rather than defaulting to a standard protocol. Counseling is available alongside the medical side of things, both individual and group, so people have somewhere to process what they are going through while it is happening.

Comfort That Supports Recovery 

Comfort is not a luxury add-on here. Private spaces, nutritious meals, and amenities that support rest and recovery are part of how we set people up to get through detox in the best shape possible.

Looking Ahead with Purpose 

Detox is where things start, not where they end. As someone stabilizes, our team begins planning what comes next, whether that is residential addiction treatment in Florida, inpatient mental health, or a step-down into outpatient services. Nobody leaves without a clear picture of where they are going and who is helping them get there.

Why Choose Retreat of Broward’s Detox Center in Fort Lauderdale, FL?

Choosing where to get help is a significant decision. When it comes to addiction treatment in Broward County, we want to give you a straight answer. We’ll tell you what we offer and why it matters.

Safe and Effective Detoxification

Our medical team is on-site around the clock, monitoring withdrawal symptoms and adjusting the approach based on what each person actually needs. Every protocol we follow is evidence-based, and safety is never treated as a checkbox.

Personalized Care Plans

Every person who comes to us gets a care plan built around their specific history, not a standard template applied to everyone. Addressing what drove the substance use in the first place is part of how we approach care from day one.

Comprehensive Medical Support

Our clinical staff includes doctors, nurses, and therapists who specialize in addiction and mental health. One-on-one therapy is available 7 days a week, and the same team stays involved from detox through the rest of a person's stay.

Holistic Therapies

Yoga, meditation, and acupuncture are available alongside clinical care for people seeking a more comprehensive approach to getting well. These are not filler activities. They complement the medical and therapeutic work happening in sessions.

Comfortable and Supportive Environment

Our Fort Lauderdale facility is clean, calm, and set up with recovery in mind. Comfortable accommodations and nutritious meals are part of the daily experience because how someone feels physically affects how they engage with everything else.

Continuing Support

What happens after detox matters as much as detox itself. Our team starts aftercare planning before someone leaves, so the transition into outpatient services, therapy, or other continuing care feels like the next logical step rather than starting over.

Our Treatment Philosophy

Every person who comes to The Retreat of Broward arrives with a different story, and we take that seriously. Care here is not built around a program people get slotted into. It is built around the person in front of us: their history, what has worked before, and what still needs to change. Treating people with honesty and respect is not something we talk about as a value. It is just how we operate.

Our work does not stop when detox ends. For people continuing into residential addiction treatment or inpatient mental health care, the same clinical team stays involved. There is no gap in continuity. Aftercare planning starts before someone leaves, not as an afterthought on the last day. We want everyone who comes through our doors to leave with a real plan, not just a referral list.

What we are ultimately trying to do is help people get stable and understand what drove them here. From there, we build something more sustainable on the other side. Addiction treatment in Broward County varies widely in quality and approach. We stay straightforward about what we offer and what falls outside our scope. If we are the right fit, we will tell you. If someone needs a different level of care, we help them find the right fit.
