Chemical Dependency
Chemical Dependency is a physical allergy combined with a mental obsession. In the late 1960’s, the American Medical Association classified alcoholism as a disease, and later included drug addiction.

Dual Diagnosis or Co-Occurring Disorder
As modern research advanced, it became clear that treatment for underlying disorders such as depression, anxiety disorders, phobic disorders and bipolar conditions and addiction must be treated simultaneously. This combination of disorders is referred to as co-occurring disorder. When a co-occuring disorder exists, the client must receive treatment not only for the addiction aspect of the disease but to alleviate all symptoms of this co-occurring disorder. At Treatment Solutions of South Florida, we adhere to this principle as part of our mission statement. Each client is evaluated by our Medical Director, a Board Certified Psychiatrist, to ensure we treat the entire disease process.

Co-Dependency
Showing care and concern for a loved one in need is a universal condition. There are relationships, however, that develop into a destructive dance of control and manipulation. This can occur even with having only the best intentions at heart. Every intervention family members make result in yet another battle over their loved one's right to continue their fatal addiction. The insanity for control continues unimpeded until the cycle is broken. TSSF has over twenty years of experience providing families with help for co-dependency and adult children with addiction issues.

The Family as One
The Systems theory states, "For every action there is a reaction." The disease of addiction is truly a family illness. Each family member cannot help but be affected by its inherent destruction of one’s healthy coping skills relating to mind, body and spirit. At Treatment Solutions of South Florida, we encourage family participation either in direct conjoint treatment at TSSF or the development of their own recovery process at home. When a client returns home from treatment, each family member’s role must change in order for recovery to continue.

Individual Pathology
In layman's terms, this is the internal process that drives self-defeating behavior. Every person is unique as they are a combination of their nature and their nurture. Each of our clients who struggle with life-controlling issues has their own process.

Continuum of Care
An extended & multi-phased continuum of care is one of the featured programs at Treatment Solutions of South Florida. When a client is making progress and staying clean and sober, we do not advocate rushing a good thing.
We support the attendance of Day/Night treatment and actively participating in the community that surrounds the Treatment center. Our aftercare program promotes a home-like atmosphere with continued support from the community and clinical staff. For those individuals needing to return home after completing our intensive residential phase, we will assist them with finding quality aftercare.
Treatment is only the beginning of developing a program of recovery. A daily connection to a recovering lifestyle is essential!
