Wellington residents who are concerned about alcohol or drug use may find it helpful to learn more about professional treatment options. Addiction can affect individuals and families across all backgrounds, and gathering accurate information is often the first step toward change.
Wellington residents have access to professional addiction treatment in Palm Beach County through The Recovery Village Palm Beach at Baptist Health, where care is structured around evidence-based clinical practices.
Recognizing when support may help
Substance use concerns can show up in different ways, including difficulty cutting back, increased tolerance, withdrawal symptoms, or relying on substances to manage stress and emotional discomfort. Loved ones may notice changes in mood, sleep, reliability, or communication.
Understanding how addiction treatment programs are structured can help clarify what type of care may be appropriate.
If you’re worried about a loved one in Wellington
It’s common for families to feel stuck between wanting to help and not knowing what will make things worse. When you talk with someone, try to avoid labels and focus on safety, health, and specific impacts you’ve observed. Ask whether they would be open to learning about treatment options or getting a professional assessment.
If the person refuses help, you can still take steps to protect yourself and your household by setting boundaries, reducing enabling behaviors, and learning how treatment works so you are prepared if they become ready later.

Depending on individual needs, treatment options may include:
Frequently asked questions
What if the person is functioning “fine” but I’m still concerned?
Many people maintain work and responsibilities while substance use is still causing harm. Concerns may be valid when you notice escalation, increasing reliance on substances, secrecy, withdrawal symptoms, or changes in mood and behavior that persist over time.
Do people need detox before rehab?
Not everyone needs detox, but some substances can cause withdrawal symptoms that are uncomfortable or medically risky. A clinical assessment helps determine whether detox is necessary before starting a structured treatment program.
How can I support recovery after treatment?
Support often includes encouraging follow-up care, respecting boundaries, and learning about relapse prevention. Aftercare planning is designed to help individuals maintain progress and build stability as they return to daily life.
Can anxiety or depression be treated alongside addiction?
Yes. Integrated care is often recommended when mental health symptoms occur alongside substance use. More information is available through the dual diagnosis treatment overview.
