Addiction Treatment

Twelve Oaks Psychiatry provides addiction care for concerns involving alcohol, opioids, stimulants, and cannabis, as well as dual diagnosis where substance use and a mental health condition occur together. Care is available for adults and adolescents, in person in Cooper City and by telehealth across Florida.

Dual diagnosis treatment addresses a mental health condition and a substance use condition at the same time. Many people living with addiction also experience depression, anxiety, ADHD, or trauma. Treating both together, rather than one in isolation, is a core part of how Twelve Oaks Psychiatry provides integrated care for adults and adolescents.

Yes, when clinically appropriate. Twelve Oaks Psychiatry initiates naltrexone as part of a treatment plan and provides ongoing medication management. Medication is one part of care, always individualized to a person’s history and goals, and combined with clinical support rather than prescribed in isolation.

Twelve Oaks Psychiatry does not start new Suboxone (buprenorphine) prescriptions. For patients already established on Suboxone who are transferring their care, the practice can provide ongoing Suboxone maintenance. For those seeking to begin buprenorphine treatment, the office can help discuss appropriate options.

Naltrexone is a non-addictive medication used to support treatment for alcohol and opioid use conditions. It works differently from medications like buprenorphine and is one option a provider may consider. At Twelve Oaks Psychiatry, Michael Hernandez, APRN, PMHNP-BC, can evaluate whether naltrexone fits an individual’s treatment plan.

Yes. All telehealth appointments at Twelve Oaks Psychiatry are HIPAA-compliant, and sessions are conducted by secure video. For many people, privacy is a major barrier to seeking addiction care, and being seen from home removes that barrier while keeping health information protected.

Many insurance plans cover addiction evaluation and medication management. Twelve Oaks Psychiatry accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare. Because coverage for substance use care varies, patients are encouraged to confirm their specific in-network benefits directly with their insurer before the first visit.

Cost varies by provider and the type of care needed. Twelve Oaks Psychiatry can discuss self-pay options for patients without in-network coverage. Contacting the office directly is the most accurate way to understand pricing for an initial evaluation compared with ongoing treatment visits.
