What To Expect

What to Expect During Your Stay at SCW

Treatment at the Seaside Center for Women is comprised of two distinct phases that are both necessary to ensure a long lasting recovery in the future for our patients. Phase one is the professional medical detoxification of the patient, so her mind and body are free from chemical dependency and are ready to begin with the actual treatment. Phase two includes the various treatment programs and specialized treatment therapies based on each individual woman's needs. 

Patients traveling long distances will be taken from the airport to our facilities in Palm Beach County. Upon arrival and check-in, our medical staff will conduct a thorough physical evaluation, and administer compassionate and sensitive professional detox. The detoxification process will be managed by experienced and knowledgeable addiction care specialists who will take every available measure to mitigate the pains of your withdrawal period. They will ascertain what, if any, medications can be used to alleviate discomfort, and provide round-the-clock care. Our detox specialists are equipped to handle any emergencies, and put patient-comfort among their highest priorities. Detoxification in most cases is successfully completed in a matter of days.

The next step will be analysis by an expert behavioral health professional, where patients can explore the origins of their disorder, and develop coping and resistance methods to combat triggering circumstances in every-day life. Our professionals know that recovery is a battle that is fought every minute of every day, and that residential treatment is only the beginning. This is why we work to strengthen patient confidence and foster post-treatment independence. In addition to quality psychiatric treatment, patients will have the benefit of numerous alternative programs such as our Art, Fitness, Equine-Assisted, and Nature Therapy options.

In between treatment sessions, patients will stay at our beautiful Singer Island apartment-living complex. These fully appointed units have separate kitchens and ample living space to help women get re-acclimated to living on their own in recovery. Patients will have the chance to acquire life-skills to facilitate post-treatment independence outside of clinical therapy.
