Personalized Assessment and Treatment Planning
The first step in your recovery journey at Resolutions of Palm Beach is a thorough and personalized assessment.

Our experienced medical professionals will work with you to develop a customized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals.

- Medical History Review: Understanding your past and current medical conditions, including any previous treatments for addiction.

- Psychological Evaluation: Assessing your mental health to identify any co-occurring disorders such as depression, anxiety, or PTSD.
- Lifestyle and Social Factors: Exploring your personal, social, and family dynamics to better understand the context of your addiction.
This thorough evaluation helps us create a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique situation, ensuring that you receive the most appropriate and effective care.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) with Suboxone
One of the cornerstone treatments at Resolutions of Palm Beach is Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) using Suboxone. This approach combines medication with counseling and behavioral therapies to provide a holistic treatment for opioid addiction.
What is Suboxone?
Suboxone is a medication that contains two active ingredients: buprenorphine and naloxone. Buprenorphine is a partial opioid agonist, which means it activates the opioid receptors in the brain but to a much lesser extent than full agonists like heroin or prescription painkillers. This helps to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings without producing the intense high associated with other opioids. Naloxone is an opioid antagonist that blocks the effects of opioids, which helps to prevent misuse of the medication.
Benefits of Suboxone
Using Suboxone as part of a comprehensive treatment plan offers several benefits:
- Reduction of Withdrawal Symptoms: Suboxone helps to alleviate the physical discomfort associated with opioid withdrawal, making the initial stages of recovery more manageable.
- Craving Management: By reducing cravings, Suboxone allows individuals to focus more on their recovery and less on the urge to use opioids.
- Lower Risk of Misuse: The presence of naloxone in Suboxone discourages misuse, as it can precipitate withdrawal symptoms if the medication is tampered with.
- Improved Retention in Treatment: Studies have shown that individuals receiving MAT are more likely to stay in treatment and complete their recovery programs.
Counseling and Behavioral Therapies
While medication can significantly aid in managing physical dependency, counseling and behavioral therapies are essential components of a comprehensive addiction treatment plan. At Resolutions of Palm Beach, we offer a range of therapeutic modalities to address the psychological and emotional aspects of addiction.
Individual Counseling
One-on-one counseling provides a confidential and supportive space for you to explore the underlying issues contributing to your addiction. Our licensed therapists use evidence-based approaches, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), to help you:
- Identify Triggers: Recognize the situations, thoughts, and feelings that lead to substance use.
- Develop Coping Strategies: Learn healthy ways to cope with stress, anxiety, and other triggers.
- Set and Achieve Goals: Establish realistic and meaningful goals for your recovery and overall well-being.
Group Therapy
Group therapy offers the opportunity to connect with others who are on a similar journey. Sharing experiences and challenges in a group setting can provide valuable insights, encouragement, and a sense of community. Our group therapy sessions focus on:
- Building Peer Support: Developing a network of support from others who understand your struggles.
- Enhancing Communication Skills: Practicing healthy communication and interpersonal skills.
- Exploring Common Issues: Addressing common challenges in recovery, such as managing cravings, rebuilding relationships, and preventing relapse.
Family Therapy
Addiction often affects not just the individual but also their family and loved ones. Family therapy aims to repair and strengthen these relationships by:
- Improving Communication: Helping family members learn how to communicate more effectively and supportively.
- Educating Families: Providing education about addiction and recovery to reduce stigma and increase understanding.
- Resolving Conflicts: Addressing and resolving conflicts that may have arisen as a result of the addiction.
Holistic Therapies
At Resolutions of Palm Beach, we believe in treating the whole person, not just the addiction. Our holistic therapies are designed to support your physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

- Enhance Emotional Regulation: Improve your ability to manage and respond to emotions in a healthy way.
