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.

The right treatment can help provide healing in every mental health crisis or situation, no matter what the diagnosis is.

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 abuse. Our approach is personalized, so every patient receives the treatment protocol that matches their unique needs.

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, an inpatient mental health facility (also known as a residential treatment program) is recommended for individuals who are struggling with intense mental health symptoms. Outpatient care can be an affordable and easier option for those who believe they 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 accredited by the Agency for Healthcare Administration and The Joint Commission, 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 is a cutting-edge therapy that helps 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 advanced neuroimaging technologies, we can pinpoint areas of brain activity that are problematic, allowing us to provide targeted treatment for your unique symptoms. With the help of the same technologies, we can also monitor and evaluate your progress in treatment and tweak interventions where needed.

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.

A difference between mental illnesses and personality disorders is that people with moderate to severe mental illness often need help completing normal daily tasks. However, individuals with avoidant, antisocial, borderline or narcissistic personality disorders are often self-sufficient but experience tumultuous lives due to acting impulsively and irrationally.

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. Inpatient 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 abuse issues simultaneously. Mental health conditions that frequently co-occur with substance use disorders and require separate 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 abuse 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.

If you or someone you love is suffering from a mental health issue and feels like there’s no way out, help is here.
