<p><strong>ABOUT JFK MEDICAL CENTER NORTH CAMPUS</strong></p> <p>Located in West Palm Beach, Fla., the JFK Medical Center North Campus is a comprehensive hospital offering a wide range of medical treatments. The hospital includes an adjoining psychiatric unit—the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Services, also known as the Pavilion.</p> <p>The Pavilion offers comprehensive psychiatric and behavioral health services for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, including <strong>residential, partial hospitalization programs (PHP), and intensive outpatient (IOP) programs</strong>. The Pavilion is one of only <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/FL16.pdf" target="_blank">45 hospitals (6.3 percent)</a> in Florida to offer inpatient treatment for substance misuse disorders. </p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>While the specific treatment regimen for drug and alcohol addiction is not described on the hospital's website, addressing substance misuse disorders is part of broader psychiatric and behavioral treatment programs. According to the hospital's website, treatment is provided through a full range of programming approaches, including <strong>individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, medication management, and aftercare</strong>.</p> <p><strong>Residential treatment</strong> is available in four separate units: one for children and teens, two for adults (including one for acute treatment), and one for senior citizens over the age of 65. </p> <p>PHP is available for adults, and there are <strong>two IOP programs</strong> available: one for adults and one for adolescents aged 13 through 17. According to the hospital's website, the adolescent program is individualized based on specific behavioral goals identified and agreed upon by the family, child, and the staff.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>The treatment team consists of masters-level social workers, psychiatrists, and registered nurses. JFK Medical Center North Campus employs more than 650 full- and part-time employees and has over 900 members in its medical staff, though the website does not specify how many of these staff members work in the psychiatric unit. </p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>This facility is a hospital, so a clinical setting should be expected. The <strong>88-bed residential unit</strong> is adjacent to the main hospital building.
