Reawakening’s Wellness Center strives to raise awareness to those battling addiction!  There are options! Let us help you turn over a new leaf! When we say Addicts Live Matter, we are broadening the conversation around the nations epidemic involving addiction and drug overdose.  Many people suffering from addiction simply dont know that there ARE options out there.  Reawakening’s Wellness Center is one of the best treatment centers in South Florida.   The United States is experiencing an epidemic of drug overdose (poisoning) deaths. Since 2000, the rate of deaths from drug overdoses has increased 137%, including a 200% increase in the rate of overdose deaths involving opioids. At Reawakening’s Wellness Center, our clientele is made up of patients from all walks of life. And our seasoned staff has helped countless people, regardless of their histories or backgrounds, get and stay clean. If you or someone you love is serious about finally breaking the chains of addiction, don’t hesitate to call Reawakening’s Wellness Center today. Based on scientific research since the mid-1970s, the following key principles should form the basis of any effective treatment program: Addiction is a complex but treatable disease that affects brain function and behavior. No single treatment is right for everyone. People need to have quick access to treatment. Effective treatment addresses all of the patient’s needs, not just his or her drug use. Staying in treatment long enough is critical. Counseling and other behavioral therapies are the most commonly used forms of treatment. Medications are often an important part of treatment, especially when combined with behavioral therapies. Treatment plans must be reviewed often and modified to fit the patient’s changing needs. Treatment should address other possible mental disorders. Medically assisted detoxification is only the first stage of treatment. Treatment doesn't need to be voluntary to be effective. Drug use during treatment must be monitored continuously. We offer traditional 12 step and we offer Smart Recovery groups, as well as Art and Music therapy. A spiritual advisor, massage, acupuncture, yoga and guided meditation help round out our programming.  RWC is  JCAHO Accredited. In addition, our staff is bilingual and we treat pregnant women in their first and second trimester. We use a variety of therapy’s including Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy and EMDR, among others.
