About Dignity Healing
Dignity Healing is a substance abuse and mental health treatment center located at 120 State Market Rd in Pahokee, Florida, within Palm Beach County. The facility operates around the clock — 24 hours a day — and holds dual accreditation from The Joint Commission and the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration, two of the most recognized credentialing bodies in behavioral health. Built around the belief that recovery is possible for everyone, Dignity Healing runs a dual-diagnosis program designed for adults dealing with drug and alcohol addiction alongside mental health disorders.
The center provides two core levels of care: medical detox and inpatient residential treatment. Medical detox is the entry point for clients who require medically supervised withdrawal management before transitioning into longer-term care. Inpatient residential programming offers structured, round-the-clock treatment for individuals with drug addiction, alcohol addiction, co-occurring disorders, or mental health disorders — all within the same facility and under continuous clinical oversight.
Clinical and medical leadership at Dignity Healing includes Dr. David Hu, MD, who serves as Medical Director, and Jean Kraljev, LMHC, MCAP, QS, who serves as Clinical Director. This combination of physician-led medical oversight and licensed mental health clinical direction means that both the physical and psychological dimensions of addiction are addressed during detox and residential treatment. Gabrielle Winchester, MSW, rounds out the core team as a therapist and case manager.
Dignity Healing serves adults struggling with drug addiction, alcohol addiction, co-occurring mental health disorders, and other substance-related conditions. For individuals or families making urgent decisions about detox and residential care in South Florida, the facility’s Joint Commission accreditation, 24-hour availability, and on-site physician leadership make it a substantive option to consider in Palm Beach County.
