About Lifeskills Fort Lauderdale
Each client receives care through Lifeskills’ Six Clinical Pathways, a model grounded in evidence-based practices and tailored by licensed or doctoral-level clinicians. Pathways include acute care, chemical dependency, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) management, and metabolic fitness. Clients also participate in a wide range of clinical groups and therapies, including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), meditation, and rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT).
Family involvement is a core part of treatment, with licensed therapists offering personalized support for issues like trauma, chronic illness, and family dynamics. The STEER program—Support, Training, Empowerment, Education, and Recovery—guides families through the healing process with sessions offered in person or virtually. Lifeskills also offers robust aftercare through its alumni program, which encourages connection and long-term engagement through discharge planning, peer support, and alumni events.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Lifeskills Fort Lauderdale provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)
