About
At Lifeskills Fort Lauderdale, we offer a non-traditional Level 1 residential program for individuals with higher acuity symptoms, including those with complex co-occurring challenges who present with certain health-related medical complications, psychotropic medication resistance/non-compliance, overall history of treatment resistance, and escalated risk-taking behavior/impulsivity, and specifically for those who have had multiple treatment episodes.
In our closely supervised, structured, and supportive therapeutic environment with 24/7 nursing support, we offer state-of-the-art detox and residential services.
