Mental Health Services In Deerfield Beach, FL

Mental health conditions are the most common cause of disability in the United States and worldwide. They can also lead to more serious and potentially life-threatening issues if left untreated. Substance abuse and addiction can evolve from efforts to self-medicate to serious health consequences and accidental overdoses. But there’s hope. The right treatment can help provide healing in every mental health crisis or situation, no matter what the diagnosis is.

At FHE Health, we specialize in offering mental health rehab in Florida. We’re able to treat the vast majority of primary mental health disorders, whether they occur on their own or with a secondary disorder like substance use. Our approach is personalized, so every patient receives the treatment protocol that matches their unique needs.

If you’re feeling afraid, alone, or in despair because of a mental health problem, contact us any time, day or night. We’re here to help you start feeling better and restore your mental health. For more information about our fully dedicated program for people whose mental illness is a primary condition, we invite you to read on.

The Reality of Mental Illness in America

As of 2022, the National Institute on Mental Health (NIMH) reported that more than 1 in 5 American adults lives with some type of mental health disorder. Anxiety and depression are the most prevalent psychiatric disorders, but rates of other illnesses, such as bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), have also risen.

Mental health statistics also show that most adults with a mental health condition don’t receive the help they need. In 2021, only 47.2% of American adults with a mental illness reported seeking treatment.

Mental illness also tends to begin early in life. Research funded by the National Institute of Mental Health has found that half of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14, and three-quarters have begun by age 24 — meaning the window for early intervention often opens in adolescence, long before treatment is typically sought.

Mental health is a complex issue that can significantly impact various aspects of a person’s life if left unaddressed. Seeking support is vital.

Mental Health in Florida

Mental health challenges are particularly pronounced in Florida. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Florida has an estimated 660,000 adults and 181,000 children living with severe mental illness like bipolar and severe depression. That doesn’t include all those — perhaps half the state’s population — who struggle with less severe emotional health issues.

The state’s suicide rate underscores the urgency. There were 3,633 deaths by suicide in Florida in 2024, or about 13.9 for every 100,000 people — compared to approximately 900 homicides in the state that same year. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention explain that suicide can be caused by a range of factors that exist at the individual, relationship, community, and societal levels.

The Stigmatization of Mental Health

Despite growing research in mental health that indicates genetics and other biological factors are at the root of mental illness for many individuals, mental health still holds a strong stigma in modern society. Unlike physical diseases, mental disorders are often negatively stereotyped, leading to judgment and discrimination in the workplace, in relationships, and even at home.

Until the passage of the Affordable Care Act, mental health didn’t have to be covered under most insurance plans, creating large holes in the accessibility of care. Even today, many employers don’t see taking time off to treat mental illness in the same light as treating medical illness. Finding appropriate help can be a challenge, too, as therapy can be cost-prohibitive; those without insurance or with limited means may not be able to afford care. The end result of these and other factors is that many people in need of treatment go without it.

What Is Mental Health Rehab?

Sometimes, speaking to a therapist may not be enough to manage a mental health issue. In these cases, a more comprehensive level of support in the form of mental health rehab can offer the stability and guidance necessary to facilitate meaningful progress and recovery.

Mental health rehab is designed to help patients manage their symptoms, develop healthy coping tools, and learn to live a normal life with their diagnosis. Mental health disorders can manifest differently from one patient to another, which is why a customized treatment plan is key.

Often, residential mental health treatment is recommended for individuals struggling with intense mental health symptoms — a structured, live-in setting commonly searched as “inpatient mental health,” though clinically described as residential care. Outpatient care can be an affordable and more flexible option for those who don’t require 24/7 support.

Mental Health Treatment at FHE Health

FHE Health accreditations including The Joint Commission and CARF

FHE Health has been serving South Florida for more than 25 years. Our mental health treatment facility in Deerfield Beach is dual-accredited by The Joint Commission and CARF, and licensed by the Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration (AHCA) and the Department of Children and Families (DCF) — ensuring that everyone who walks through the doors receives high-quality care from compassionate staff members.

At FHE Health in Deerfield Beach, Florida, our mental health program is designed to meet the needs of those with primary mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizoaffective disorder, and other conditions. We provide a stand-alone treatment program to target anxiety and depression rather than simply prescribing medications as some facilities do.

We take a comprehensive approach to mental, emotional, and psychological wellness. Our team of psychiatrists is available around the clock to provide counseling, psychopharmacology education, and medication management. Patients in our care receive five mental health groups per week, daily check-ins with therapists and doctors, and neurotherapy sessions that promote positive results and personal growth.

Our personalized mental health services include dialectical behavior therapy skills, mental health education, supportive group therapy, and practical coping skills. By blending a combination of clinical resources such as behavioral therapy with holistic options like massage and acupuncture, we create treatment plans that cater to every patient’s therapeutic needs.

Neurorehabilitation in Mental Health Treatment

Neurorehabilitation uses advanced neuroimaging technologies to rehabilitate the brain and boost the effectiveness of therapy and medication. The benefits of our neuro therapies include a reduction in symptoms like anxiety, depression, insomnia, and sleep disturbances, as well as greater resilience to stress. (Stress is a major contributor to brain dysfunction and mental health problems.)

Using these technologies, we can pinpoint areas of brain activity that are problematic, allowing us to provide targeted treatment for your unique symptoms. We can also monitor and evaluate your progress in treatment and adjust interventions where needed.

The Connection Between Mental Health and Addiction

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I struggle with PTSD, anxiety, and depression, and this place truly changed my life. From the therapists to the nursing staff, everyone was compassionate, professional, and genuinely cared about my mental health. The doctors and nurse practitioners were available and attentive, which gave me a strong sense of support and reassurance throughout my stay.” – Kirklyn D.

While 23.1% of Americans live with some form of mental illness, around 3.8% have a substance use disorder. Tragically, approximately 19.4 million Americans live with both conditions, struggling to work through both symptoms of mental illness and the effects of addiction. Unfortunately, addiction often worsens the symptoms of mental illness; in worst-case scenarios, drug or alcohol use can even amplify or trigger conditions, such as hallucinogenic drugs contributing to schizophrenia or a psychotic break.

Statistically, those with mental health disorders are more likely to use drugs or alcohol and consequently more likely to develop an addiction. In many cases, this creates a vicious circle of sorts. Without self-medicating, it’s hard to find relief from the sensations caused by mental illness — but this in turn makes it harder to quit. For this reason, it’s exceptionally important that those with a dual diagnosis of mental illness and addiction seek professional help specific to both substance use and mental health.

For those with co-occurring disorders, rehabilitation that ignores one aspect or the other can lead to treatment that fails to address the reality of the situation, causing ineffective therapies and a heightened risk of relapse. Instead, psychologists and psychiatrists should be prepared to address the root causes of illness and addiction as much as possible rather than focusing on surface-level symptoms.

How FHE Health Can Help

FHE Health in South Florida provides a path forward for those with mental illness, a substance use disorder, or a combination of the two. Through our fully dedicated and separate treatment program for patients whose primary diagnosis is a mental health condition, we can provide a safe, stable place for participants to come to terms with their situation, learn how to cope with and manage their symptoms, and achieve a significantly better quality of life.

We pride ourselves on integrating the medical, psychiatric, and clinical components of mental health treatment under one program. Our experts firmly believe any mental health diagnosis should be quantifiable, enabling us to create, measure, and refine treatment goals for the benefit of every patient in our care.

We realize that mental illness comes in many different forms and that effective treatment options must accommodate a wide range of needs. We can assist with different types of mental health disorders, including:

A difference between mental illnesses and personality disorders is that people with moderate to severe mental illness often need help completing normal daily tasks. Individuals with personality disorders such as avoidant, antisocial, borderline, or narcissistic personality disorders may function independently in daily life but experience persistent challenges with emotional regulation, interpersonal relationships, and self-image.

Our residential mental health treatment facility serves the communities of South Florida and beyond. Program participants come from Miami, Port St. Lucie, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Delray Beach, and more than a dozen other cities in the region.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mental Health Treatment

What is mental health rehab?
Sometimes, speaking to a therapist may not be enough to manage a mental health issue. In these cases, a more comprehensive level of support in the form of mental health rehab can offer the stability and guidance necessary to facilitate meaningful progress and recovery. Mental health rehab is designed to help patients manage their symptoms, develop healthy coping tools and learn to live a normal life with their diagnosis. Mental health disorders can manifest differently from one patient to another, which is why a customized treatment plan is key.
At what age does mental illness typically begin?
According to research funded by the National Institute of Mental Health, half of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14, and three-quarters have begun by age 24. Despite effective treatments being available, there are often long delays between first onset of symptoms and when people seek and receive treatment. The changes in behavior, mood, and personality often seen in teenagers may mask signs and diagnosis of mental illness. Parents may attribute moodiness, isolation, and depression as growing pains and assume their teen will grow out of it.
What is the difference between addiction and mental health care treatment?
At FHE Health, we offer on-site psychiatric care with treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and neuro rehab services, where trained psychiatric staff carry out assessments and tests to identify behaviors and appropriate treatment options. Residential psychiatric care and outpatient programs are available to support the needs and lifestyles of patients with mental health conditions and co-occurring addiction disorders. Psychiatric care focuses on prevention and management of the mental health disorder through the use of treatments like therapy, medication and other coping tools. Although psychiatrists can also provide treatment for addiction based on the way substance use is affecting the individual’s brain, they support the overall mental health of the patient rather than specifically providing detox or addiction treatments.
What is dual diagnosis?
Dual diagnosis occurs when a patient is struggling with a mental health condition and substance use issues simultaneously. Mental health conditions that frequently co-occur with substance use disorders and require integrated treatment plans include bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, anorexia or bulimia, PTSD, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. In many cases of dual diagnosis, the substance use disorder has resulted as a coping mechanism for a preexisting mental health condition. While this is common, there are also cases where substance use has resulted in mental health conditions like schizophrenia. Your counselors can help you make a treatment plan based on your individual circumstances to find and address the root cause of your mental health condition and/or substance use disorder.
