Substance Use and Mental Health Disorder Treatment and Recovery
Caron Treatment Centers, an internationally recognized nonprofit organization dedicated to substance use disorder treatment and recovery, recently expanded its Caron Florida operations to meet the needs of the community. Caron opened The Keele Medical Center, a 100,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art medical facility in Delray Beach and launched a standalone Mental Health Program to address the growing need for quality mental health care.
Leading the charge is Anthony Campo, M.D., Medical Director for Caron Florida. He oversees the medical department at Keele as well as the programs at Caron Renaissance in Boca Raton and Ocean Drive in Delray Beach.
“At Caron, we have a very integrated, whole-person approach for our patients,” says Dr. Campo. “With the addition of Keele, we can offer the full continuum of care beginning with detox and medical stabilization, which is an extremely critical time for the patient. It’s important that patients receive an early, accurate diagnosis and treatment, especially those with co-occurring disorders, to reach a sober and healthy lifestyle.”
The Keele Medical Center includes a medical stabilization unit, 40 beds for residential treatment programming including an Older Adult Program, as well as neurocognitive services, research and medical education. It is staffed with highly credentialed clinicians, physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists and nurses, with specialties that include integrative medicine, internal medicine, addiction medicine and chronic pain.
The Older Adult Program is designed to meet the specific needs of adults 55 years of age and older, a group of individuals who have been historically overlooked for substance use disorder treatment. The Mental Health Program treats young adults and adults who are dealing with ADHD, anger management, anxiety, bipolar disorders, depressive disorders, dual diagnosis, obsessive compulsive disorder, personality disorders, thought disorders and trauma.
“Of the 55 million older adults in the U.S., approximately 10% will need treatment for substance use disorder,” continued Dr. Campo. “And according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, 20% of U.S. adults experience mental health issues. The need for these services has never been greater, as Florida’s population has rapidly increased since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic and the demand for healthcare services has outgrown the available supply.”
