A Bit of History
When James Bryan founded The Beachcomber in 1976, he had one mission. With the support of his staff, he set out to help those who suffered with the pain of alcohol and drug addiction. And The Beachcomber has come a long way since then. Almost forty years later, our facility continues to operate with the same efficiency and compassion that Jim Bryan originally envisioned. Only now we have expanded our facilities and resources in order to help those in need. The Beachcomber offers rehabilitation services at three locations in Palm Beach and Broward Counties of South Florida to better serve our clients. We now offer residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient levels of care at multiple locations.
Like a tree spreading its branches, The Beachcomber Outpatient Program is a natural extension of our already successful residential program. The sons of our original founder, Frank and Jim Bryan, oversee the development and continued success of our new facilities. The third generation of the family has also come on board and is learning the tools of the trade. Eric Bryan, one of our founder’s grandchildren, joined The Beachcomber after graduating from Florida State University and has become our Assistant Director at our Ft. Lauderdale location, overseeing much of the day-to-day operations. With facilities in Ft. Lauderdale, Boynton Beach, and the Delray Beach area, The Beachcomber is one of the oldest privately owned addiction treatment facilities in the state of Florida. Moreover, it began as, and continues to be, a family business that is owned and operated by the Bryan family for almost forty years.
Today, Beachcomber Rehabilitation Center in Delray, Florida, is expanding its services to better support individuals and families struggling with addiction. The center is growing its residential capacity while also extending its reach through the Intensive Outpatient Program in Boynton Beach and Fort Lauderdale. IOP offers flexible, comprehensive treatment for those who need structured therapy without residential care. Additionally, Beachcomber has introduced an enhanced ChemSex program to address the complex issues surrounding substance use and sexual behavior. As the landscape of addiction continues to evolve, Beachcomber remains committed to staying informed about emerging trends and developing innovative treatments to address the current challenges. By growing with the needs of the culture, Beachcomber is dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals and families nationwide, offering hope and healing to those affected by addiction.
