Broward County Sheriffs Office Drug Court Treatment Division

The Broward County Sheriff's Office Drug Court Treatment Division provides outpatient addiction treatment specifically designed for participants in the county's drug court program. This specialized approach combines therapeutic intervention with legal oversight, creating a structured recovery environment that addresses both substance abuse treatment needs and judicial requirements.

The facility operates Monday through Thursday from 8:15 AM to 7:30 PM and Fridays from 9 AM to 5 PM, offering flexibility for participants maintaining employment or family obligations. This extended schedule supports the recovery community's diverse needs while ensuring consistent engagement in substance abuse treatment programming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy forms the cornerstone of the treatment division's approach to addiction recovery. CBT sessions focus on identifying and modifying the thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to substance use, providing participants with practical tools for managing triggers and preventing relapse.

The therapeutic framework emphasizes skill development in areas such as problem-solving, emotional regulation, and communication. Participants learn to recognize high-risk situations and develop alternative coping strategies that support long-term recovery goals while meeting drug court program requirements.

The facility maintains CARF accreditation, demonstrating commitment to clinical practices and continuous quality improvement in addiction treatment delivery. This accreditation ensures that participants receive services meeting national standards for substance abuse treatment programs.

CARF standards encompass areas including treatment planning, outcome measurement, and staff qualifications. The accreditation process involves regular external review, ensuring the recovery center maintains accountability for treatment effectiveness and participant satisfaction throughout the recovery process.

Located in Fort Lauderdale with service area coverage including Lauderdale Lakes, the treatment division provides accessible outpatient services to the broader Broward County recovery community. Spanish-language services ensure that non-English speaking participants can fully engage in addiction treatment programming.

The facility's connection to the sheriff's office infrastructure creates unique opportunities for coordinated care and community safety initiatives. This integration supports participants in developing positive relationships with law enforcement while addressing underlying substance abuse issues through structured outpatient programming.
