About Grace Point

What Is Evidence-Based Addiction Treatment?

Evidence-based addiction treatment means using therapies and clinical approaches that have been studied, tested, and proven to produce durable outcomes. This includes individual therapy using cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy, group therapy, medication-assisted treatment when appropriate, trauma-focused care, and structured relapse prevention planning. It does not mean a one-size-fits-all program built around rules and routines without clinical grounding.

At Grace Point Treatment Center in Fort Lauderdale, evidence-based treatment is applied to both the substance use disorder and any co-occurring mental health conditions simultaneously. Treating only addiction while leaving depression, anxiety, or trauma unaddressed is one of the most common reasons people relapse after completing a program. Grace Point treats the whole clinical picture from the first session to the last.

What We Treat

Substance Use & Mental Health Treatment

Alcohol Rehab in Fort Lauderdale

Grace Point's alcohol rehab program in Fort Lauderdale begins with a clinical assessment that includes screening for withdrawal risk. Once detox is complete, clients transition directly into Grace Point's structured treatment programs without gaps in care.

Drug Addiction Treatment

Drug addiction treatment means your clinical team takes the time to understand what you are dealing with before building a plan. Every substance carries its own withdrawal risks, timelines, and medical considerations, with no two treatment administered the same way.

Co-Occurring Mental Health

At Grace Point, our inpatient rehab believes in integrated treatment for anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma-related disorders, and mood disorders alongside substance use for more stable, sustainable recovery outcomes for all of our Fort Lauderdale clients.

Detox Coordination

While Grace Point Treatment Center does not provide on-site detox, the clinical team coordinates with trusted detox partners throughout South Florida and Fort Lauderdale to ensure safe, medically supervised withdrawal management for all of our clients.

The Gracepoint Reviews

Levels of Care

Structured Programs for Every Stage of Recovery

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

PHP is the highest level of outpatient care available at Grace Point. Clients attend five to six days per week for multiple hours of structured clinical programming each day. This level is appropriate for people who need intensive daily support, have recently completed detox, or require a level of accountability that standard outpatient cannot provide. PHP includes group therapy, individual counseling, trauma-informed care, and medical monitoring. You return home each evening, which allows you to maintain family responsibilities and begin practicing recovery in your real environment.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

IOP at Grace Point provides three to five treatment days per week with multiple therapy sessions, allowing clients to maintain work schedules, family obligations, and daily responsibilities while receiving consistent clinical support. IOP is built for people who have stabilized sufficiently to function in daily life but still need structured accountability, relapse prevention, and therapeutic support. Many clients who work full-time complete IOP without interrupting their employment.

Outpatient Program

The outpatient program is designed for individuals who have built a stable foundation in PHP or IOP and are ready to continue recovery with a lighter clinical footprint. Outpatient care focuses on maintenance, ongoing therapy, relapse prevention, and mental health support as clients fully reintegrate into their lives. Grace Point's outpatient track keeps you connected to the clinical team that knows your history.

Stabilization Program

The stabilization program at Grace Point provides focused early recovery support for clients transitioning out of detox and into longer-term treatment. Early abstinence is medically and psychologically demanding, and relapse risk is highest in the first days and weeks after substance use stops. The stabilization program addresses emotional dysregulation, withdrawal-related anxiety and depression, and the behavioral challenges that emerge when the substance is removed. It is the clinical bridge that helps clients arrive at PHP or IOP grounded, informed, and prepared to do deeper therapeutic work.

Therapy Modalities

Evidence-Based Treatment Approaches

Individual Counseling for Substance Abuse

Individual counseling for substance abuse at Grace Point in Fort Lauderdale provides the personalized clinical relationship that group settings alone cannot offer. Each client works directly with a licensed clinician in one-on-one sessions focused on their specific history, the drivers behind their substance use, and the goals they are working toward in recovery. 

Individual therapy at Grace Point uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change the distorted thought patterns that maintain substance use and mood symptoms. Dialectical behavior therapy builds distress tolerance and emotional regulation skills that are essential for managing stress, triggers, and interpersonal conflict without returning to substances. EMDR is used when trauma is an identified driver of substance use. Motivational interviewing supports the internal readiness to change that makes all other treatment work better.

Family Therapy and Addiction Recovery

Addiction does not happen in isolation, and recovery does not happen in isolation either. The people closest to someone with a substance use disorder are often carrying their own trauma, confusion, and emotional exhaustion by the time treatment begins. Family therapy and addiction recovery work at Grace Point in Fort Lauderdale address the entire system, not just the individual. 

Through family counseling during rehab, loved ones receive education about how addiction works, develop healthier communication patterns, and learn effective approaches to boundaries and support. Family involvement, when clinically appropriate, improves treatment outcomes and reduces the likelihood of relapse after discharge. Healthy family systems create the environmental conditions that support long-term sobriety.

Group Therapy Programs

Group therapy programs at Grace Point Treatment Center in Fort Lauderdale play a vital role in addiction treatment by fostering connection, accountability, and shared recovery experiences. Through group therapy for addiction, clients participate in structured, therapist-led sessions that encourage open discussion, skill development, and mutual support. Group counseling in rehab helps individuals reduce isolation, gain perspective from peers, and practice healthy communication. 

Substance abuse group therapy focuses on coping strategies, relapse prevention, and emotional regulation while reinforcing accountability. These recovery support groups are facilitated by licensed professionals who ensure a safe, respectful environment where individuals can learn, grow, and strengthen their commitment to long-term recovery.

Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA) Support

Growing up in an alcoholic household often creates long-term emotional and behavioral patterns that continue into adulthood. Adult children of alcoholics therapy helps individuals recognize how family trauma, chronic instability, and unmet emotional needs shape coping behaviors, relationships, and self-worth.

ACOA treatment and family trauma therapy focus on healing addiction-related trauma by addressing patterns such as hypervigilance, people-pleasing, or emotional shutdown; difficulty with trust, boundaries, and self-regulation; shame, guilt, and fear rooted in childhood instability; and trauma responses that impact adult relationships and recovery. Through structured therapy and boundary work, individuals learn healthier coping strategies, emotional regulation, and self-compassion.

EMDR Therapy in Fort Lauderdale

Grace Point Treatment Center in Fort Lauderdale functions as a trauma treatment center within the Fort Lauderdale addiction treatment framework. Every clinician is trained in trauma-informed care principles, which means that every interaction, every group, and every individual session is structured to avoid traumatization and support safe therapeutic processing.

EMDR therapy, which uses bilateral stimulation to help clients reprocess traumatic memories so they no longer trigger automatic emotional or behavioral reactions, is available within Grace Point’s clinical program. Trauma-informed care at Grace Point also means understanding that many clients come from backgrounds of complex childhood trauma, adverse family systems, domestic violence, or chronic stress. The Adult Children of Alcoholics therapy program specifically addresses the long-term behavioral and emotional patterns that develop when someone grows up in a household disrupted by alcohol or addiction.

Stabilization Program in Fort Lauderdale

A stabilization program in Fort Lauderdale provides focused early recovery support for individuals transitioning out of detox and into longer-term addiction treatment. Addiction stabilization services address the emotional, behavioral, and psychological challenges that often emerge during early abstinence, when relapse risk is highest. With structured clinical oversight, clients receive therapy, medical monitoring, and support designed to promote emotional regulation and stability. 

Our stabilization program at Grace Point Treatment Center for addiction serves as a bridge between detox and more intensive levels of care, such as PHP or IOP. By strengthening coping skills and routine during this critical phase, substance use stabilization helps individuals enter ongoing treatment grounded, supported, and better prepared for recovery.
