Drug rehab serving Coral Springs — the specialist, 35 minutes away.

Coral Springs has solid local outpatient options, but specialist-level addiction medicine — in-house addiction psychiatrists, integrated MAT, full ASAM-criteria continuum from detox through aftercare — generally means a drive east. RECO sits 25 miles from Eagle Trace and Heron Bay, about 35 minutes via the Sawgrass and I-95, close enough for weekend family sessions and far enough to create separation from the routines tied to active use.

Coral Springs sits about 25 miles inland from RECO Intensive’s campus in Delray Beach — roughly a 35-minute drive east on the Sawgrass Expressway and down I-95 to Atlantic Avenue. For families in Eagle Trace, Hidden Hammocks, Parkland Isles, Cypress Run, and Heron Bay, that drive opens up something most options inside western Broward County can’t replicate: specialist-level addiction medicine embedded in the coastal treatment-community network that has shaped South Florida recovery for decades. Drug rehab at RECO is structured around the substances clinicians actually see most often in this region — opioids (including fentanyl-adulterated heroin), cocaine, methamphetamine, benzodiazepines, and the polysubstance combinations that have become the norm rather than the exception. Each pathway is built on substance-specific clinical protocols, not a single generic curriculum stretched across very different diagnoses.

The full continuum is available under one clinical team. Medical detox feeds into residential care, which steps down into partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient, with a structured sober-living network running alongside the lower levels of care. Admissions decisions are made using the ASAM Criteria — looking at acute intoxication and withdrawal potential, biomedical conditions, emotional and cognitive conditions, readiness to change, relapse potential, and recovery environment — rather than by what the calendar or a benefits authorization happens to allow.

Substance-specific clinical protocols

Opioid use disorder, stimulant use disorder, and sedative use disorder are not interchangeable diagnoses, and they should not be treated as if they were. Opioid withdrawal is medically uncomfortable but rarely dangerous on its own; sedative withdrawal from benzodiazepines or alcohol can be fatal without medical management and a properly titrated taper. Stimulant withdrawal — from cocaine or methamphetamine — is primarily psychiatric, with depressive symptoms, anhedonia, and powerful cravings that peak days after last use rather than hours. RECO’s medical and clinical staff build different relapse-prevention plans around each of these realities. Opioid pathways emphasize overdose-risk education, naloxone distribution, and long-term medication management. Stimulant pathways lean harder on contingency management, sleep restoration, and structured behavioral activation. Sedative pathways include extended-duration taper protocols and careful screening for protracted withdrawal symptoms that can surface weeks into recovery.

Polysubstance use — the rule rather than the exception today — gets its own clinical reasoning. A client coming off fentanyl and cocaine, or alcohol and benzodiazepines, is not simply two diagnoses stacked on top of each other; the interactions shape detox, medication choices, and aftercare planning. For substance-specific deep dives, the opioid program and alcohol program pages outline how these pathways differ in practice.

Medication-assisted treatment where indicated

Medications are tools, not a treatment philosophy. RECO’s in-house addiction psychiatrists evaluate every client for medication-assisted treatment and prescribe and manage MAT directly as part of the integrated plan — not as an outside referral the client has to coordinate themselves. For opioid use disorder, that typically means buprenorphine (Suboxone, Sublocade) or extended-release naltrexone (Vivitrol), with the choice driven by the clinical picture: time since last use, prior MAT history, co-occurring pain, employment considerations, and the client’s own preferences. For alcohol use disorder, naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram are all options, with Vivitrol available for clients who benefit from a monthly injection rather than daily dosing. Decisions about starting, continuing, or eventually tapering MAT are revisited as the treatment plan evolves, and continuity is preserved as clients step down through the levels of care.

Behavioral therapy across the continuum

Medication addresses the neurobiology; therapy addresses everything else. RECO’s behavioral foundation is built on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused CBT, with EMDR available for clients whose trauma history is driving relapse risk. Every client is assigned a primary therapist on admission, and that therapist follows them through every subsequent level of care — detox, residential, PHP, IOP, and the alumni phase. That therapeutic continuity is one of the clearest differences between RECO and the fragmented model that’s more common: in fragmented care, a client may meet four or five different therapists across a 90-day episode, repeating their history each time. Here, one clinician holds the through-line.

Group programming runs alongside individual therapy and is matched to the level of care. PHP groups are clinically intensive — process groups, relapse-prevention curriculum, family-of-origin work — while IOP groups shift toward applying skills to real-world stressors as clients re-enter work, school, or family roles.

Co-occurring mental health treatment

The majority of clients who walk into a substance use disorder program also meet criteria for at least one co-occurring psychiatric condition. Depression and generalized anxiety are the most common, followed by PTSD, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Treating these conditions sequentially — “get sober first, then we’ll address the depression” — is associated with worse outcomes than treating them concurrently, which is why RECO is built as a dual-diagnosis program rather than a substance-use-only one. Psychiatric evaluation is part of the admission process, not an add-on. Medication management for depression, PTSD, anxiety, or mood disorders is provided by the same psychiatric team that manages MAT, which avoids the medication-list conflicts that come up when prescribers don’t talk to each other.

For clients whose trauma history is central to their addiction, Trauma-Focused CBT and EMDR are integrated into the individual therapy track once a client is medically stable. The pacing matters — trauma processing is sequenced to where someone is in their recovery, not rushed in the first week.

How families in Coral Springs typically start

Most families in Coral Springs and Parkland start the same way: a phone call to verify benefits and a clinical conversation to figure out the right level of care. RECO is in-network or works with most major commercial carriers — Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and others — and the insurance verification step is free and doesn’t commit anyone to admission. The drive from Coral Springs is straightforward: Sawgrass Expressway east, I-95 south to Atlantic Avenue, about 35 minutes outside of rush hour. Many families choose RECO precisely because it’s far enough from home to provide separation from the people, places, and routines tied to active use, but close enough that family therapy sessions are realistic on a weekend. After PHP and IOP, clients who want continued structure transition into sober living, and the alumni program stays connected long after formal treatment ends.
