The Sylvia Brafman Mental Health Center is a primary mental health center in Tamarac, Florida, that treats mental health disorders first and addresses co-occurring substance use when it is part of the picture. We don’t simply treat the surface-level symptoms. We get to the root cause(s) of the challenges you or your loved one is facing.
The breakdown below shows how our core mental health program is built. It begins with a comprehensive intake assessment and continues with a personalized care plan that addresses your needs through the lens of our 5 Lanes philosophy: clinical, medical, psychiatric, spiritual, and vocational.
The same clinical backbone carries across all of our levels of care in Florida: Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP). What changes from one to the next is intensity. Partial hospitalization programs are the most structured, and many people step down to IOP after stabilization and rebuilding routines outside of treatment. Use the chart to see which assessments, therapies, and additional services are included at each level.
