Broward Addiction Recovery Center

About Broward Addiction Recovery Center

Broward Addiction Recovery Center (BARC) is a county-operated substance use treatment program in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, run by Broward County government for adults 18 and older. They treat substance use disorders as well as co-occurring mental health conditions, and offer several levels of care, including detoxification available around the clock, residential treatment, outpatient services, and medication-assisted treatment. Their approach centers on each person’s own recovery, with attention to practical life management skills, healthier relationships, and ongoing involvement in community support groups.

Care at BARC is delivered through individual, group, and family therapy, giving clients and their loved ones different settings to work through recovery together. Medication-assisted treatment is available for those who may benefit from medication as part of their care, and they also offer a dedicated guide on opiates. Because they coordinate with a range of health care providers and referral sources, clients can be connected to additional services that support their recovery beyond the program itself. As a public county program, they emphasize confidential, respectful care for adults across Broward County.
