What Makes CBH Different
Most Florida centers were built to treat substance use and added a psychiatrist later. We were built the other way around, and it changes every decision that follows.
"We don't ask people to get sober and hope the depression lifts. We treat the reason they were drinking."
Our Clinical Model
We treat the condition driving the use
Substance use is usually the visible edge of an untreated mood, trauma or psychotic disorder. A full psychiatric assessment comes before the treatment plan, not after it.
Dual diagnosis as standard, not a specialty
Every client is screened for co-occurring disorders on admission and both conditions are treated by the same team, in the same plan, at the same time.
Psychiatric care from day one
Dr. Jawad Daud is board-certified in both Psychiatry and Addiction Psychiatry. Five psychiatric nurse practitioners prescribe and adjust across residential and outpatient.
Why detox alone fails
Detox clears the body in days. It does nothing for the disorder underneath, which is why we build the step-down before you arrive, not at discharge.

Amenities and Environment
Canine Assisted Therapy
The easiest room to walk into
For a lot of people the first week is the hardest thing they've done. A dog asks nothing of you. Clients who will not talk in group will sit on the floor and talk to her.
Structured, not just sweet
Light is a certified therapy dog who works with a trained handler. Sessions are built into the weekly schedule and used deliberately in trauma and anxiety work: grounding, co-regulation, and practice at being present.
How CBH Compares
Ask any center you're considering the same sixteen questions. Their answers are what matter.
Insurance and Payment
Verify your benefits
One short form, one phone call to your carrier, and a written summary of exactly what your plan covers: deductible, coinsurance and authorised days. No cost, no obligation.
Mental health parity and what it covers
Federal parity law requires most plans to cover behavioral health on the same terms as medical care. Many people are covered for far more than they assume, including residential.
Private pay options
Transparent self-pay rates, monthly payment plans and third-party healthcare financing. Our admissions team will give you a real number before you commit to anything.
