Retreat of Broward Inc

Retreat of Broward offers two levels of care that form the foundation of early recovery: medical detox and residential treatment. Medical detox provides clinical supervision during the withdrawal phase, helping clients stabilize before moving into the more intensive work of residential rehab. This built-in continuum means clients do not have to transfer between unconnected facilities at a vulnerable point in their recovery.

The residential treatment program allows clients to remain in a structured environment long enough to address the behavioral and psychological dimensions of substance use disorder. For people dealing with co-occurring mental health conditions — including trauma and PTSD — the residential setting provides the consistency that outpatient schedules often cannot. Retreat of Broward is open 24 hours a day, reflecting the around-the-clock nature of early recovery support.

Few addiction treatment centers in the Fort Lauderdale area explicitly serve the breadth of populations that Retreat of Broward does. The center accepts veterans — with TRICARE as a confirmed payment option — as well as pregnant women, young adults between 18 and 25, seniors, and individuals entering treatment through the court system. Men and women are both served, and the center provides HIV/AIDS support as part of its confirmed population focus.

Geographically, the center draws from across South Florida, including Miami, Delray Beach, Coral Springs, Boca Raton, Hollywood, and Palm Beach. Its Pompano Beach location places it near the heart of a region with high demand for quality residential substance abuse treatment. Insurance options are broad, including Aetna, Anthem Blue Cross, Cigna, Humana, Beacon, Carelon, PHCS, Tufts Health Plan, and TRICARE, alongside self-pay arrangements.

Retreat of Broward uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core therapeutic method within its residential program. CBT gives clients practical frameworks for examining the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and substance use behaviors — skills that remain relevant long after leaving residential treatment and into ongoing recovery.

The center's confirmed treatment focus includes both trauma and PTSD and co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis. This matters because a significant portion of people entering residential rehab are managing mental health conditions alongside substance use disorder. A treatment center that addresses both within the same program reduces the need for clients to seek separate mental health care during an already demanding phase of recovery.

Retreat of Broward holds CARF accreditation — the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities — which signals that the center has met independently reviewed standards for quality in substance use treatment. For families evaluating a recovery center on behalf of a loved one, CARF accreditation provides a meaningful external benchmark beyond self-reported claims.

The center is also certified as an Opioid Treatment Program (OTP), a federal designation that reflects a specific level of regulatory compliance and clinical oversight for opioid-related treatment. Together, these credentials place Retreat of Broward among a subset of Pompano Beach and Broward County treatment centers that have pursued formal external review of their programs — a distinction worth considering when comparing residential rehab options in South Florida.
