Adolescent Wellness Academy (AWA)

They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Fort Lauderdale is set up for.

No detox here. A center can still take someone after a detox elsewhere, which is the common order of events, and the nearest one is 2.3 miles away in Hollywood.

Fort Lauderdale has 47 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in Fort Lauderdale is something they handle.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Fort Lauderdale.

They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Hollywood is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.

The useful question is not whether a plan covers treatment but which level of care it will approve. Deductibles reset each year, so the timing of an admission changes the number. Ask what the rate becomes if the plan stops approving days before the program ends.

One program can take somebody today while another in the same town is a month out. Centers often keep a cancellation list, and it moves faster than the main one. Ask whether the wait differs for someone paying privately, because the answer is often yes.
