About Wellness Resource Center
Wellness Resource Center is a private treatment facility located in Boca Raton, Florida with over 29 years experience. They treat substance use disorders, process addictions, and co-occurring mental health conditions with compassionate care. Their programs include day treatment and intensive outpatient care, with supportive housing available. The 12 Steps play an important role in their treatment, as do holistic and evidence-based modalities.
Clients at Wellness Resource Center transition through 2 Phases of recovery. Phase 1 is a day treatment (or partial hospitalization) program with 7 days of weekly treatment. Apartment-style housing offers a safe and substance-free residence. Treatment takes place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on weekends. Clients meet regularly with their on-site medical director, psychiatrist, full-time nurses, and primary therapist. During Phase 2, clients begin intensive outpatient care. Evening sessions take place from 6-9 p.m. Monday-Friday. Clients can continue living in on-site housing, transitional living, or at home.
Wellness Resource Center’s staff includes psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, therapists, nutritionists, and social workers. They provide a blend of evidence-based and holistic therapies, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), 12-Step facilitation, equine therapy, experiential group therapy, and nutritional therapy. Groups and psychoeducation topics focus on life skills, relapse prevention strategies, and anger management. The amount of time each client spends during Phase 1 and 2 of their recovery is specifically tailored and customizable depending on the client's needs and recommendations from staff.
Wellness Resource Center encourages family involvement during treatment. Their family program invites family members onsite for a weekend, providing educational groups and therapy sessions. For family members unable to attend the weekend family program, primary therapists can provide family therapy sessions in-person or over the phone. Wellness Resource Center offers community housing nestled in a quiet neighborhood close to the beautiful white sandy beaches of Florida. Clients can enjoy resort-like accommodations and amenities like a heated pool, common area, recreation room, and outdoor lounge.
