Virtual Behavioral Health in South Florida: What CBH Offers
CBH’s virtual behavioral health program covers the following clinical services, all delivered via secure video and fully integrated with CBH’s in-person programs in Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale.
Virtual Individual Therapy
Individual therapy sessions with CBH’s licensed clinical team are available via secure telehealth video for clients in South Florida and throughout Florida. Sessions cover the full range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches used in CBH’s in-person programs: CBT for depression, anxiety, and OCD, DBT skill application and coaching, EMDR for trauma processing, where the secure video environment supports this work, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused brief therapy. The therapeutic relationship and the treatment plan are the same whether sessions occur in person in Fort Lauderdale or via telehealth.
Telehealth Psychiatric Care and Medication Management
Dr. Daud provides telehealth psychiatric evaluations and medication management for adults in South Florida and throughout Florida via HIPAA-compliant secure video. Telehealth psychiatric care at CBH includes comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, medication prescribing and management, medication monitoring and adjustment, and coordination with the therapy team. For clients with co-occurring mental health conditions requiring expert psychiatric management alongside substance use treatment, CBH’s telehealth psychiatry offering brings board-certified dual-specialty psychiatric care to wherever the client is located in Florida.
Virtual Group Therapy
CBH’s group therapy curriculum is available in virtual format for clients participating in the virtual IOP program. Virtual group therapy sessions cover CBT-based skills, DBT modules, dual diagnosis education, relapse prevention, and process groups. The peer connection and clinical accountability that group therapy provides are maintained in the virtual format, with the same licensed facilitators running the same clinical curriculum as the in-person groups in Fort Lauderdale.
Virtual IOP in South Florida near Fort Lauderdale
CBH’s virtual IOP provides a minimum of 12 hours of structured clinical treatment per week delivered entirely via secure telehealth video. Virtual IOP is appropriate for adults in South Florida and throughout Florida who need intensive outpatient mental health and addiction treatment but cannot attend in-person programming due to geographic distance, work schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or personal preference.
Virtual IOP at CBH delivers the same clinical programming as the in-person IOP in Fort Lauderdale: individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric medication management, relapse prevention planning, and the dual-diagnosis framework that addresses both the mental health condition and the substance use disorder simultaneously. The treatment plan is individualized. The clinical team is the same. The only difference is the delivery format.
Who is Virtual IOP in Florida right for
Virtual IOP in South Florida and Florida is appropriate for adults who have completed a higher level of care such as residential or PHP and are stepping down to IOP with telehealth delivery, adults with mild to moderate mental health or substance use presentations who do not require the intensity of residential or PHP and whose clinical picture is appropriate for IOP-level virtual care, adults in South Florida who are in stable living environments with reliable internet access and the privacy needed to engage in telehealth sessions, and adults who have been in prior treatment and are maintaining recovery with clinical support.
Virtual IOP is not appropriate for everyone. Adults in acute psychiatric crisis, those with severe or unstable presentations requiring medical supervision or residential containment, or those without a safe and private environment for telehealth sessions, are better served by in-person care. CBH’s admissions team will assess the right level of care, in-person or virtual, based on the individual clinical picture. Call 844-503-0126 for a free assessment.
Telehealth Addiction Treatment in South Florida
CBH’s telehealth addiction treatment program delivers virtual substance abuse treatment for adults in South Florida and throughout Florida dealing with alcohol use disorder, opioid use disorder, cocaine addiction, benzodiazepine dependence, amphetamine addiction, and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.
Telehealth addiction treatment at CBH is built around CBH’s founding clinical principle: that mental health conditions drive substance use. Virtual substance abuse treatment that addresses only the substance use without treating the underlying depression, anxiety, PTSD, or other mental health conditions produces the same relapse outcomes as in-person addiction treatment that does the same thing. CBH’s telehealth addiction treatment identifies and addresses the mental health condition alongside the substance use disorder in every virtual session.
Virtual Addiction Treatment for Co-Occurring Conditions
For adults in South Florida with a dual diagnosis of mental health and substance use disorders, CBH’s virtual addiction treatment delivers the coordinated clinical model that most telehealth platforms do not offer. Telehealth psychiatric evaluation identifies every co-occurring mental health condition. Individual virtual therapy addresses the specific mental health conditions driving substance use using CBT, DBT, and motivational interviewing. Virtual group therapy provides peer accountability and shared clinical experience. Medication management via telehealth addresses both psychiatric medications for the mental health condition and MAT options for opioid or alcohol use disorder when clinically indicated.
Telehealth Psychiatrist in Florida
Dr. Daud provides telehealth psychiatric services to adults in South Florida and throughout Florida via HIPAA-compliant secure video. As a board-certified psychiatrist with additional certification in addiction psychiatry, Dr. Daud is one of the few telehealth psychiatrists in Florida with dual specialization in both mental health and addiction treatment. Telehealth psychiatric services include initial psychiatric evaluation, diagnosis, medication prescribing for mental health conditions and MAT for substance use disorders, medication monitoring, and ongoing psychiatric management coordinated with the therapy team.
For adults in South Florida who need a telehealth psychiatrist with expertise in both mental health and addiction, CBH’s virtual psychiatry program removes geographic barriers to expert dual-specialty psychiatric care.
How CBH’s Virtual Behavioral Health Program Works
Secure and HIPAA-Compliant Platform
All CBH telehealth sessions are delivered through a HIPAA-compliant secure video platform. No personal health information is transmitted through unsecured channels. The platform is accessible from any device with a reliable internet connection, including smartphones, tablets, and computers. Technical support is available for clients who need help accessing the platform.
Same Clinical Team as In-Person Programs
The therapists and psychiatrists delivering virtual therapy and telehealth psychiatric care at CBH are the same licensed clinicians who serve in-person clients at the Hollywood and Fort Lauderdale facilities. There is no separate virtual-only staff. When a client transitions between virtual and in-person care, or attends in-person residential care followed by virtual IOP, the clinical relationship and the treatment plan carry forward without interruption.
Coordination with In-Person Levels of Care
CBH’s virtual programs are designed to integrate seamlessly with the in-person continuum. A client who completes residential treatment in Hollywood and transitions to IOP may attend IOP virtually if that is clinically appropriate and logistically preferable. A client who starts in virtual IOP and whose clinical picture indicates that a higher level of care is needed can transition to in-person PHP or residential. The clinical team at both the virtual and in-person levels coordinates directly to ensure continuity.
