G & G Healthcare Services Treatment Program Chronic Relapse and Dual Diagnosis Specialists

G & G Healthcare Services Treatment Program is located in North Miami Beach, Florida. Surrounded by the warmth of the sun and lush tropical breezes clients come to escape from the clutches of the disease of addiction and to begin the process known as RECOVERY. We have learned from our many years of experience treating addiction that the best way to ensure a successful treatment outcome is to remove the person from the people, places and things associated with their addiction. This reduces distractions and gives the individual an opportunity to fully engage in treatment and to learn the coping skills necessary to stay clean and sober when they return to their home environment. Our clients come from all over the country and world seeking a program to give them the solid foundation on which to recover, to begin a life free from mood altering substances and the ability to deal with life on life's terms.

Holistic Living Environment

Our Center's model is a network of guesthouses and our treatment offices. The comfortable and casual setting reduces the 'institutional' feeling, provides clients an abundance of personal attention and enables us to have the flexibility to tailor the program to individual needs.

Each home is set up as a therapeutic setting where clients learn to live and deal with life on life's terms. Nutritionally balanced meals are prepared at the living quarters three times a day, by our on-site chef.

Program Philosophy

It is our sincere desire to motivate our clients to choose a more healthy way of life and to help themselves to get the life they really want. We take a Holistic approach to addiction treatment, BODY-MIND-SPIRIT. This three-fold approach encompasses the clients' physiological, psycho-emotional and spiritual needs. We are a client-centered program based on respect and compassion. Although addiction has common characteristics and behavior patterns associated with it, we treat each client as unique. Each therapeutic issue is addressed individually. We utilize a wide range of therapeutic interventions in order to help each client achieve their specific goals. In addition to traditional group and individual therapy, these interventions may include Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (E.M.D.R.) for Post Traumatic Stress and Compulsive Disorders, Hypnosis, Neuro- Linguistic Programming (N.L.P.), Dialectic Behavior Therapy (D.B.T.), and Motivational Interviewing.

We specialize in treating those who suffer from chronic relapse with drugs and alcohol and/or who are dually diagnosed. By this we mean those persons who cannot seem to stay clean & sober long enough to really get help. These lost souls generally speaking have a co-existing psychiatric disorder such as Bi-Polar, Anxiety or Panic Disorders, and Depression, which if left untreated decrease their ability to cope with the realities of everyday life and increase the likelihood that they will find comfort in the euphoric effects produced by drugs and alcohol. Our program focuses on long-term solutions. We recognize the importance of treating the whole person and we do not believe in "institutionalizing" our clients. They live in a supervised real world environment, and learn to cope with everyday realities, which we feel is a major contributing factor to their long-term success.

What Makes our Program Unique

The disease model of addiction implies that there is something wrong with a person that cannot be healed. For example, research has shown that there are alcoholic biochemistries that make some people predisposed to addiction. Rather than a "disease", we view addiction as a 'dis-ease' which causes an imbalance and disharmony in the life of a human being. Furthermore we believe that the symptoms are physical, psycho-emotional and spiritual conditions, which can be treated and/or managed, and their impact dramatically reduced. While we acknowledge that there may be predispositions to addiction, we focus more on identifying and treating the specific areas of dis-ease and work toward helping the client restore balance both inside and out. We do this using the most progressive 21st century modalities available. In addition, our professional staff has the training and experience to profoundly address any emotional issues, childhood traumas and other significant personal and interpersonal problems, which may come up in the course of treatment and which have an impact on the person's addictive behavior and quality of life.

Our goal is to help clients build self-esteem and self-confidence and to give them the tools to deal with life on life's terms. With a sense of empowerment and self-worth, our clients' are in a better frame of mind to say "no" to unhealthy, addictive behaviors and to say "yes" to the healthy choices that make life worth living.

Program Design

We have a continuum of care in a variety of housing units. Some units are designated for RES/PHP/IOP depending upon the level of care and supervision requirements.

Some of the modalities we use are Gestalt, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (E.M.D.R.), Dialectic Behavior Therapy (D.B.T.), Neuro Linguistic Programming (N.L.P.), Motivational Interviewing, Transformational Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, all with a humanistic approach.

The Pain Recovery Program

The Pain Recovery Program at Palm Healthcare knows the importance of addressing the multi-faceted needs of the person in pain. The person in pain is not only concerned about reclaiming their own sense of well-being and functioning but they are also concerned about reclaiming their sense of purpose and direction to life.

Utilizing a comprehensive bio psychosocial perspective, incorporating the latest holistic, traditional, and state of the art non-invasive technology and interventions, the focus of the program is on assisting that person in pain in reclaiming all aspects of their life.

Individuals participating in The Pain Recovery Program are provided a variety of treatment options that include medication management, nutraceutical (vitamin) therapy, physical therapy, strength and conditioning, massage, muscle manipulation therapy, chiropractic care, aquatic therapy, hypnotherapy, and biofeedback. Treatment plans are individualized based on comprehensive evaluations and the specific needs of the person.

Bio-Nutritional Therapy

All clients receive a nutritional assessment by a licensed nutritionist and may choose to develop meal plans to suit their individual needs for weight-loss, gain or maintenance. While in our care, clients are offered only fresh, healthy and nutritionally balanced meals and are encouraged to take our proprietary vitamin and nutritional supplements daily in order to restore the proper chemical balances in the brain and body. Special dietary needs such as vegetarian and Kosher can be accommodated.

Physiological

To further restore balance within the body, clients are offered Auricular acupuncture three times per week. Massages and colonics for relaxation and detoxification are also available to our clients at an additional cost. Our clients participate in a comprehensive fitness program, gym and strength conditioning. The clients also have the opportunity to participate in a team building, self-esteem building, and confidence building Ropes Course, which is offered every thirty days.

Spirituality

Our clients come from many walks of life and many faiths, Buddhists, Jews, Christians, Hindus, Muslims, Atheists and Agnostics. All are supported and respected here. Our clients attend a 'Morning Spiritual' which is non-denominational and which focuses on mindfulness and daily goal setting (simple attainable goals). The clients are also transported daily to outside AA/NA meetings unless strongly opposed. In addition to these daily meetings, clients may also choose to attend weekly Spiritual/Religious services while in treatment. We make every effort to accommodate these requests for spiritual enrichment.
