Refer a Patient to Outpatient Treatment in West Palm Beach

Step-down PHP, IOP and OP for adults, with the continuity your patients need after detox or residential care.

Most of the people in our programs come to us from a higher level of care. Send a referral or call admissions: our Clinical Director reviews each pre-screening and recommends PHP, IOP or OP, and we check benefits for free.

Admission criteria

Who Is a Good Fit for Sunview

Sunview is an outpatient program. These are the patients who tend to do well here.

Age
Adults, 18 and older.
Stability
Medically and psychiatrically stable enough to take part in programming safely and meaningfully.
Coming from
Stepping down from detox, residential or another higher level of care, or entering directly from the community.
Diagnoses
Substance use disorders, with co-occurring mental health conditions welcome and treated together.
Medications
Abstinence-based, not medication-free: naltrexone and buprenorphine/Suboxone are supported when a qualified outside provider prescribes and manages them.
Readiness
Motivated to make real changes in how they live, not only to stop using.

We treat substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions as one picture. Marijuana, stimulants, opioids and benzodiazepines aren’t permitted during programming.

Routing

Who Needs a Different Level of Care First

If a patient isn’t ready for outpatient care yet, we identify that during the pre-screening and refer to a more appropriate level of care. Sunview can be the next step afterward.

  • Risk of significant withdrawal, such as consistent, extended use of benzodiazepines or opioids

    Medically supervised detox, and often residential care, before Sunview

  • Needs medical stabilization or round-the-clock monitoring right now

    A higher level of care first

  • Currently maintained on methadone

    Detox and medical stabilization first; Sunview can be the next step

  • An eating disorder, gambling or sex and love addiction as the primary clinical issue

    A program that specializes in that condition

  • Acute psychiatric instability, disorientation or imminent risk of harm to self or others

    A more appropriate level of care for stabilization

For patients on long-acting injectable psychiatric medication, administration and monitoring are coordinated through an appropriate outside provider.

Referral process

How the Referral Process Works

Four steps from your first contact to the patient’s first day.

  1. Send the form or call

    Use the referral form on this page, or call admissions directly at (561) 269-3175.

  2. Pre-screening review by the Clinical Director

    The patient completes a pre-screening: reasons for seeking treatment, substance use and mental health history, living situation, previous treatment and current symptoms. Our Clinical Director reviews it and recommends the level of care, informed by ASAM criteria and clinical judgment.

  3. Free benefits verification

    Our admissions team checks the patient’s insurance at no cost: whether we’re in network, which level of care is covered and whether pre-authorization is needed.

  4. Admission and warm handoff

    Once the pre-screening is done and benefits are verified, patients can often be enrolled within 24 hours. With the patient’s signed release, we confirm admission and coordinate care.

Clinical model

Clinical Model Your Patients Continue Into

Our work looks beneath the presenting symptom, at relationships, family patterns and past experiences, while building practical recovery skills. Evidence-based approaches give it a shared foundation.

Shared approaches:IFSCBTDBTand trauma-informed care.

Gender-specific group days run every other Thursday.

Our clinical approach and outcomes
Group
One continuous group from 9 AM to 1 PM, with breaks, led by the same facilitator all day, so the work goes deeper instead of switching topics every hour.Group therapy at Sunview
Individual
A weekly individual session with a primary therapist, typically 45 to 60 minutes, with extra sessions or check-ins when there’s a clinical need.
Psychiatry
Psychiatric evaluation and medication management through Telemed Clinix, seen virtually from a private office on site. Patients can keep the same provider after discharge.Psychiatry and medication management
MAT
Suboxone, Vivitrol and naltrexone stay with a qualified outside prescriber. We coordinate continuity with the current prescriber, or refer to one.
Family
With the patient’s consent, the primary therapist makes a first family contact within the first week of programming.Family therapy
Measures
Progress tracked with the Brief Addiction Monitor (BAM), PHQ-9 and GAD-7, with monthly treatment plan reviews.
