Sunspire Health Recovery Road in Palm Beach Gardens

Our goal at Sunspire Health Recovery Road is to offer treatment for substance abuse and compulsive gambling that is unique to each individual. Our clinical philosophy rests on the foundation that no two individuals in recovery are exactly alike; but, that we provide the highest level of clinical care based on abstinence, evidence and holistic-based treatment. We respect individual spiritual or religious practices as part of the recovery process and offer access to a vibrant and diverse local recovery community.

Areas of Specialization

Residential Treatment
Residential TreatmentResidential treatment programs provide housing (food and meals) in addition to treatment for substance abuse. Some facilities offer only short-term residential treatment, some offer only long-term treatment and others offer both, ranging from a few days to many months, based on patient needs.
Client & Family Support Groups
Client & Family Support GroupsGroup therapy is a vital component of addiction recovery treatment, considered as important and effective (sometimes even more so) than individual therapy. Benefits include reducing isolation and loneliness and providing the opportunity to learn from others in recovery. In the addiction setting, group therapy is run by trained professionals who guide participants toward a shared goal of recovery.
Process Abuse Treatment
Process Abuse TreatmentNot all addictions involve mood-altering chemicals. The term “process addiction” describes the unhealthy use of behaviors (including eating, gambling, sexual activity, shopping, internet use, etc.) that has spiraled out of control and into the realm of addiction.
Individualized Treatment
Individualized TreatmentSome facilities have an addiction treatment protocol that all patients or clients are expected to follow, while others customize or individualize treatment based on a person’s unique needs and circumstances. Factors that may affect treatment decisions include age, lifestyle, medical conditions, type of drug, religious beliefs, etc
