# The Beachcomber Family Center for Addiction Recovery > The Beachcomber is the oldest privately owned addiction treatment center in Florida, founded in 1976 and family owned by three generations of the Bryan family, offering residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient substance abuse treatment across three South Florida locations in Delray Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Boynton Beach. ## About The Beachcomber Family Center for Addiction Recovery is the oldest privately owned treatment center in the state of Florida, established in 1976 by James Bryan after overcoming his own personal battle with alcoholism. For nearly 50 years and three generations, the Bryan family has dedicated their lives to helping individuals and families break free from the grip of addiction. The second generation — sons Frank Bryan and Jim Bryan — now oversees the development and continued success of the organization. The third generation has also come on board: Eric Bryan, one of the founder's grandchildren, joined The Beachcomber after graduating from Florida State University and serves as Assistant Director at the Fort Lauderdale location.

Specialized programs include LGBTQ Group Therapy led by an LGBTQ therapist, a ChemSex program addressing the intersection of substance use and sexual behavior, Family of Origins group, Adult Children of Alcoholics (ACOA) group, Later Life group for seniors, and Integrated Recovery for behavioral co-addictions. Evidence-based treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, Rapid Resolution Therapy for trauma, mindfulness meditation, yoga therapy, acupuncture, and 12-step facilitation.
