Fort Lauderdale Behavioral Health Center’s military program provides medical and psychological treatment to active duty personnel and veterans who suffer from substance use, post-traumatic stress, depression or an anxiety disorder.

Treatment focuses heavily on military stressors, family stress, destabilization and disconnect with the military. We also offer behavioral health services for family members on an inpatient and outpatient basis.

Base clinicians are included in treatment planning. They also participate in developing an aftercare plan so service members can continue recovery on an outpatient basis. Our military liaison works closely with unit commanders and NCOs to develop partnerships.

Fort Lauderdale Behavioral Health Center is a TRICARE® and VA provider. Most other commercial insurances, Medicaid HMOs and Medicare are also accepted.

An effort to aid veterans who were honorably discharged with suicide crisis assistance, the Compact Act looks to help veterans who need mental health assistance in times of crisis.

The Compact Act allows veterans to get no-cost mental health treatment at both Veterans Affairs (VA) and non-VA facilities in cases of suicide crisis. The goal of the Compact Act is to prevent veteran suicide by offering no-cost care.
