How We are Different
Pioneering Bespoke Treatment for Visionary Leaders, Innovators, and Legacy Builders
At Headwaters, we recognize the immense responsibilities that visionary leaders carry within their communities, industries, and families. We are committed to providing bespoke addiction treatment that honors their dignity, values, and lifestyle while ensuring privacy and comfort throughout the early recovery stages. As part of the renowned Hanley Foundation, our program offers unparalleled access to a full spectrum of treatment options designed to facilitate healing from the inside out.
Our treatment facilities are housed at Hanley Center, located on a serene, tropical campus in West Palm Beach, Florida. Here, comprehensive clinical programming reflects the latest scientific understanding of addiction biology and employs the most effective medical and clinical treatment approaches. From detoxification and medical stabilization to individualized care and continuing-care planning, Headwaters tailors treatment programs to meet the unique needs of each patient.
A Sophisticated, Personalized Approach
At Headwaters, we offer sophisticated and personalized one-on-one therapies within the trusted environment of the Hanley Center, South Florida's oldest and most recognized provider of services for addiction and related disorders. Our treatment strategy integrates a comprehensive biopsychosocial model, which considers the biological and psychological factors unique to each individual, alongside family and personal influences. Our multidisciplinary clinical team collaborates to develop individualized treatment plans, ensuring the highest level of personalized care.
Understanding the Unique Needs of Our Patients
Treating affluent individuals with substance use disorders presents distinct challenges that require cultural competence and understanding. Our expert team is well-versed in the unique needs and boundary concerns that our patients may face. We excel at establishing a trustworthy, therapeutic alliance with this demographic, who often present with complex defenses against the consequences of addiction.
Flexibility in Treatment
We believe in creating an optimal treatment environment that balances comfort and clear boundaries. Our primary focus is on engaging each patient in their care, allowing those who may not typically consider residential treatment—often due to work or family obligations—to benefit from our programs. We are open to adjusting treatment plans as needed, and when clinically appropriate, we accommodate work-related interactions and electronic communications as part of the therapeutic exploration.
our approach
Emphasizing Positive Family Involvement
Addiction often impacts entire family dynamics, and we believe that the family needs treatment as much as the individual. Our programs are customized to include family members, ensuring that clinical involvement aligns with everyone's scheduling needs. We recognize that the larger spheres of influence in our patients' lives are significant, and we strive to support all those who matter to our patients.
Integrating Psychopharmacology Principles
Our approach incorporates appropriate pharmacological interventions, guided by experienced medical professionals in addiction treatment. This integration particularly benefits patients with co-occurring disorders, leading to improved outcomes.
Leading-edge Brain Science for Addiction Recovery
Through our health psychology department, the Center for Brain Recovery (CBR), we utilize evidence-based therapeutic approaches to cognitive restructuring. This innovative use of brain science helps address addiction and related concerns, such as anxiety and depression, significantly enhancing the potential for long-term recovery.
Preparing for Discharge from Day One
At Headwaters, we start preparing our patients for discharge upon admission to ensure optimal outcomes with strong support networks. Our in-depth multidisciplinary assessments, informed by family and referent histories, shape highly individualized treatment plans. Our collaborative approach, involving staff, patients, families, and trusted referents, is vital for executing these plans successfully. We provide a safe, secure, and empowering model that builds on each individual's strengths, equipping them with the tools necessary for maintaining long-term recovery.
