About Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches
Behavioral Health of the Palm Beaches, branded as BHOPB and also known as the Center for Alcohol & Drug Studies, has operated for more than two decades from its Lake Worth campus at 7859 Lake Worth Road, just west of Wellington in Palm Beach County, Florida. The program holds dual accreditation from The Joint Commission and CARF and is federally registered as an Opioid Treatment Program in SAMHSA records. The current web infrastructure indicates the program now sits under the Banyan Treatment Center corporate umbrella, with BHOPB retained as the operating brand.
Clinically, the program offers a continuum that begins with medical detoxification and extends into residential treatment and outpatient programming, with telehealth capabilities documented in federal records. Treatment relies on evidence-based practices including cognitive behavioral therapy, with named program lines for family work, mental health, alumni community and spiritual programming. The clinical focus spans substance use, primary mental illness and co-occurring disorders.
Populations served are broad and well documented: veterans, pregnant women, young adults aged 18-25, seniors, men, women, HIV-positive clients and court-ordered referrals. The veteran population is highlighted in the program’s own materials, with combat exposure and service-related trauma called out as a clinical focus, and TRICARE acceptance reinforcing the financial path for service members and qualifying dependents.
The insurance roster is unusually deep for a South Florida program and is published directly on BHOPB’s website: Aetna, AvMed, Beacon, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Compsych, First Health, GHI, Humana, Magellan, MedCost, Medical Mutual, Multiplan, TRICARE, Uprise and Florida Medicaid are all displayed as accepted carriers. That coverage breadth makes BHOPB an unusually accessible referral target across both commercial and public insurance, with admissions reachable via 888-432-2467.
