Outpatient Programs

Branches Oakland Park Outpatient Treatment for Addiction and Mental Health Disorders

Fort Lauderdale Behavioral Health Center’s Branches Oakland Park provides support and guidance for adults (18 and up) and children and adolescents (ages 5 to 17) dealing with addiction and mental health disorders. Our intensive outpatient programs lay the groundwork for long-term recovery and help you or your loved one transition back to the home, school or community.

Intensive Outpatient Versus Outpatient Treatment

At Branches Oakland Park, we offer several levels of care to meet people where they are in their recovery. Many people begin their journey with detox and stabilization at our short-term inpatient program. Next, they step down to outpatient treatment for drug addiction, alcohol abuse or mental health disorders.

The type of outpatient therapy you need depends on your condition and needs. We offer:

• Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs): IOP is the next step for many people after inpatient treatment. It can be an alternative to residential treatment, providing a higher level of care than general outpatient treatment. IOP is a structured, part-time program that requires several hours of group individual therapy for three to four days per week. Our adult IOP program is in-person, while our IOP for teens is virtual.
• General outpatient clinic: Our outpatient clinic is less intense than IOP. It typically involves individual, family or couples counseling once or twice per week. You’re free to schedule outpatient sessions to fit your schedule. Outpatient care is ideal if you have completed IOP or have mild to moderate substance use or mental health disorders. Our adult outpatient clinic services are in-person. 

Outpatient Treatment for Alcohol Addiction, Drug Addiction and Mental Health Disorders

Our outpatient clinic provides mental health, substance use and dual diagnosis services for children and adolescents (ages 5 to 17) and adults (18 and up).

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our specialized treatment program for mental health and substance use disorder provides a structured, caring, therapeutic setting for patients who are discharged from an inpatient program or who need further stabilization to help prevent relapse. Individual therapy may be provided if needed. The program runs Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 2:15 pm with breakfast and lunch provided. Available services include evaluations, medication management and individual therapy.

Program Goals:

• Allow patients to explore issues and express feelings
