Treatment Approach & Programs

Learn how FHE Health approaches addiction treatment and mental health care, including medication-assisted treatment and levels of care.

What makes FHE Health different?

FHE Health utilizes an integrated behavioral health program model that evaluates each patient through medical, psychiatric, psychological, and therapeutic assessments designed to understand and treat the whole person. Our physicians, nurses, neuroscience specialists, therapists, and clinical staff work together as a multidisciplinary team to develop a personalized treatment plan based on clinical need and evidence-based care, ensuring treatment is clinically individualized and intentionally designed to support each patient’s recovery.

Does FHE offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT)?

Yes, FHE offers Medication Assisted Treatment for those who meet clinical criteria.

How long does treatment last?

Our programs range from 5 days to 6 months. Because several programs exist within FHE Health, patients begin with a level of care based on clinical need and continue with programs tailored to their progress. Learn more about our continuum of care.

Do I have to complete every level of care?

No. Each person’s behavioral health needs are unique, and length of treatment is determined by a personalized assessment. Each level of care completed is considered a milestone.

Does FHE treat mental health conditions?

Yes. FHE Health provides dedicated mental health programming supported by psychiatric care, therapy services, and other modalities such as Integral Breathwork and recreation therapy, along with neuroscience-based care when arranged. Patients receive regular therapist and physician oversight as part of a comprehensive behavioral health program designed to treat both mental health and co-occurring substance use disorders.

Can FHE treat medical conditions during rehab?

Yes. FHE provides on-site medical care by physicians and assistants to address co-occurring medical conditions. Services range from basic medical care to more advanced needs such as IV therapy, oxygen, mobility support and medically integrated services.

Insurance, Admissions & Eligibility

Understanding insurance coverage and eligibility is often one of the first steps toward getting help.

Will insurance cover addiction or mental health treatment?

Most insurance plans cover all or a major portion of treatment. Our admissions team can verify your benefits and explain your coverage in detail. Representatives are available 24/7 to assist you.

Does your treatment center accept all ages?

FHE treats adults 18 and older. Patients range in age from 18 to 80+, and we offer cohort-based housing and programming to align with life stage and clinical needs.

What if I'm from out of state?

People travel from across the U.S. for treatment at FHE Health. Our goal is to provide comprehensive care and help you return home with a strong recovery foundation. Learn more about admissions and what to expect.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient: Daily Life in Treatment

Here’s what to expect regarding campus access, transportation and structure.

Can I leave the facility during treatment?

Campus access is structured to support recovery, so patients remain on campus while in care. Patients may participate in scheduled off-campus activities like beach outings, bowling, or nature experiences designed to support their clinical progress. Currently, we offer an afternoon substance use disorder (SUD) Intensive Outpatient Program in which patients may live on campus or off campus while participating in treatment. Patients participating in this program who are in on-campus housing have off-campus hours when coordinated according to our safety policies.

Are men and women in treatment together?

Yes, though we also offer gender-specific programs and groups for those who prefer them.

Will I be required to attend 12-step meetings?

FHE Health is not a 12-step–only treatment center. We offer on-site 12-step meetings for patients in our substance use disorder programs, and participation is expected as this is a vital tool in recovery.

What to Bring to Rehab

Preparing for treatment helps ease anxiety and ensures a smooth admission process.

Can I bring my car to treatment?

Yes, though access is restricted during inpatient care. Outpatient participants have full access. Transportation options are available for those without vehicles.

Can I bring my cellphone, laptop or other electronics?

Yes. In inpatient care, electronic use is structured and therapist-approved. Outpatient participants have unrestricted access. Computers are also available on campus.

Amenities & Wellness Services

Treatment includes whole-person wellness in a supportive environment.

Do you have pools or beach access?

Yes. We have gender-specific pools and provide trips to nearby Deerfield Beach.

Do you have a gym or wellness services?

Yes. Our campus includes a fitness center and wellness services such as yoga and acupuncture. Personal trainers are available to help patients exercise safely and work toward their individual fitness goals during treatment. Learn more about our fitness and nutrition services.
