About The Retreat of Broward
The Retreat of Broward is a private addiction recovery in Pompano Beach, Florida. We offer medically supervised detox, residential addiction treatment, and inpatient mental health care. DCF and the Joint Commission accredit our clinical team, and the care we provide reflects both. Every person who comes to us gets a plan tailored to their specific history and needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Â
Our Purpose and Philosophy
People going through detox are not at their best, and how they are treated during it matters. Most facilities do not pay enough attention to it. Our staff takes it seriously in ways that show up in the small things. How they talk to people, how quickly they respond, whether someone feels like a patient or a person. Getting that right is not something we value. It is simply how we operate day to day.
Nobody who comes to us gets a generic plan. One person might be coming off opioids after a decade of use. Another might be going through benzodiazepine withdrawal for the first time. The circumstances and substances vary, and the clinical decisions we make reflect those differences. We adjust when something isn’t working rather than sticking to a protocol just because it is easier.
Detox is where things start, not where they end. Before someone leaves, our team is already planning what comes next. Residential addiction treatment, inpatient mental health care, and outpatient referrals are all options depending on what the person needs. Addiction recovery in Pompano Beach does not have to mean starting over every time the level of care changes. We work hard to make sure it does not feel that way here.

Our Facility
Our detox facility is set up with one thing in mind: making it easier for people to focus on getting well. Private and semi-private rooms give people their own space. Common areas are there for those who want some connection during the process. Nutritious meals are part of the daily routine. How someone feels physically affects how they engage with everything else happening during detox.Â
We thought carefully about what makes a space easier to be in during a hard stretch. Therapy rooms are kept separate from living areas, so clinical work has its own space. The rest of the day does not feel like an extension of sessions. Outdoor areas offer people a place to go when they need air or a few quiet minutes. Nothing about the environment is loud or cluttered, and that is intentional. Most people arriving are already carrying a lot, and the setting should not add to the weight. Â
Safety and privacy are non-negotiable here. Our team maintains round-the-clock supervision so nothing goes unnoticed, and we take confidentiality seriously at every level. People at our detox center do not have to worry about who knows they are here. Someone is always watching over them. Both are handled.Â
Inside Our Inpatient Detox Program
As a leading detox center in Florida, The Retreat of Broward provides an inpatient detox program. We help people who need medical supervision to get through withdrawal safely. We work with a wide range of substances, including alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl, and prescription medications. The clinical approach varies based on what someone is coming off and their history. The same protocol does not work equally well for everyone, and we do not pretend otherwise.
The first thing that happens when someone arrives is a conversation, not paperwork. Our medical team takes time to understand what someone is dealing with before making any decisions. Physical health, substance use history, and mental health concerns all factor into what the plan looks like. Medical stabilization starts right away once that picture is clear. From that point, nothing about the plan is fixed. Our team watches how each person responds and adjusts as things develop rather than holding to a predetermined approach.Â
For people with co-occurring mental health conditions, we provide trauma-informed therapy and inpatient mental health treatment as part of the same program. Treating both at the same time produces better outcomes than addressing them separately. Our clinical team is experienced in managing that level of complexity. It is factored into the plan from the start.
After detox, most people continue directly into residential rehab right here at our facility. Having that next level of care on-site means there is no gap between detox and the next stage. For those who need something different, we can connect them with the right referrals. Nobody walks out the door without a clear plan for what comes next. Â
What to Expect During Detox
Most people entering detox have never done it before. Not knowing what to expect can make it feel bigger than it needs to be. Withdrawal symptoms are addressed as they occur, rather than waiting for them to escalate. At The Retreat of Broward, our staff stays close throughout, and no one has to handle anything difficult on their own.
As someone stabilizes, the day takes on more structure. Rest remains a priority early on, but counseling becomes a more active part of the schedule. One-on-one time with a clinician gives people space to start processing what brought them here. Group sessions are available, too. Many people find that shared experience helps more than they expected.
The environment is calm and intentionally low-key. Meals, outdoor time, and a schedule built around rest rather than pressure are part of how the days flow. Nothing feels rushed because recovery does not respond well to being pushed. Most people tell us afterward that the experience felt different from what they had dreaded going in.
Areas We Serve
Our detox center serves people from across South Florida and beyond. Getting here is straightforward from most of Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties, and our admissions team can help coordinate logistics for anyone coming from further away. Distance is rarely the barrier people expect once they make the call.Â
We regularly work with people from:
- Boca Raton
- Coral Springs
- Fort Lauderdale
- Hollywood
- Miami
- West Palm Beach
- And surrounding communities throughout Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties
When someone reaches out to The Retreat of Broward, our admissions team walks them through everything before they arrive. Insurance verification, what to bring, and what to expect on the first day all get covered in that first conversation. We want the practical side of getting started to feel manageable so people can focus on what actually matters once they walk through the door. If you have questions before committing to anything, our admissions team is a good place to start.Â
Who We Help
Addiction and mental health challenges do not affect one type of person. At The Retreat of Broward, we work with working professionals, students, veterans, and first responders. We also work with people returning to care after a previous attempt did not hold. Some people call us in the middle of a crisis.
Others have been thinking about it for months and finally reached a point where waiting no longer made sense. Many are referred by someone close to them, a spouse, a parent, or a friend who noticed something was wrong. Wherever someone is coming from, we start with an honest conversation about what is going on. Seeking help takes real courage, and we never treat it as routine.
Our team maintains a nonjudgmental environment where everyone is treated with dignity from the moment they arrive. We have worked with people entering treatment for the first time. We have also worked with people who have tried before and are not sure what will be different now. We pay close attention, adjust when something is not working, and stay honest about what we offer and what we do not.
