Dr. Rapp provides in-depth treatment of porn/sex, food, and gambling addition. His comprehensive approach provides lasting freedom from compulsive behavioral additions by targeting the underlying cause of the behaviors, as well as the symptoms themselves. Freedom and deep healing is possible. But, change starts with you taking the step to make the call.

As a Certified Addiction Professional (CAP), I have worked with may individuals and couples who struggle with substance abuse, food addiciton and other addictive behaviors that cause so much guilt, anxiety and shame. I believe that addiction itself is a symptom- and understanding what triggers these addictive behaviors is critical in helping someone overcome this vicious cycle. Knowledge is power- and together we can help you work toward a plan of recovery and to reduce the risk of relapse.

With alcoholism or chemical dependency, the client must agree to work toward abstinence before we can address the underlying issues of addiction. This is best done in an environment of support such as 12 step meetings. In addition, supportive psychotherapy and CBT can help a client maintain abstinence. With process or behavioral addictions such as sex and love, work, spending, gambling, and eating, psychotherapy can begin before or in conjunction with 12 step support when necessary. There is a way to live life on life's terms! I look forward to helping you begin to live a life of honesty, clarity and integrity!

Anyone who has suffered with an addiction or lived with someone with an addiction knows the powerful foothold it can have. Addiction ruins families, careers, relationships, self-esteem, and self-confidence. Individuals are left wondering what happened and how it got that far. The good news is that it is never too late. You can be taught to recognize and avoid triggers, choose alternative behaviors, and get back the life you once had.

We offer individualized treatment for a patient ranging from traditional to holistic. After initial review with a client, we help come up with a course of action that will yield the best outcome. Since we pride ourselves with the most cutting edge treatments available, a client can rest assured knowing they are getting the best care possible. Our success is based on our experience.

I honor the power of choice in recovery. I don't believe that clients have to hit "rock bottom" before they benefit from treatment. Recognizing that individuals are ready for treatment at many different stages, I can meet them wherever they are and help them develop the motivational tools to achieve lasting recovery. We will develop a program that will meet your individual physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. I am committed to finding therapies that will most effectively guide you to recovery. The first step is YOU!

Addictions form as a result of the "perfect storm" of issues, events, mental, and emotional processes. They are maladapative ways of coping to escape and attain true wants and needs that often take on a life of their own and become habitual. The individual and family often experiences breakdowns in finances, career, health, relationships, spirituality contributing to the desire to use more substances. Over time habitual patterns form that are difficult to break and the person ends up feeling caught up in a vicious cycle. At Renew Center of Florida we work with the individual and family to eliminate the power of the addiction and assimilate a variety of useful and empowering coping tools.

Counseling is an essential part of drug abuse treatment for many people. Cognitive behavioral therapy, family counseling, and other therapy approaches can help people recovering from addiction stay clean. Therapy can also treat the other mental health conditions that often contribute to prescription drug abuse. While any counseling therapy for drug abuse treatment is better than none, group therapy is generally preferred over individual therapy. Individual therapy can be helpful in the case of a dual diagnosis: coexisting depression, bipolar disorder, or other significant mental health condition that requires treatment in its own right, separate from addiction.

I believe that the notion of "addictive personalities" is nonsense. There are important differences between drug addiction and so-called internet addiction, for example. I know that addictions arise for many reasons, and that we may never understand most of those reasons. Happily, people can and do overcome addictions without having to understand all of its mysterious causes. 12-step programs are popular, but I reject the idea that we must surrender control of our behavior to a higher power in order to solve these problems. Building solutions for addictions is not very different from building solutions to other problems. We need only use our existing strengths in ways that make sense.

I consider "addiction" to resemble an allergy. Instead of sneezing or a skin rash, the addictive substance or activity causes a compulsive need for more of it, even though the consequences are far from beneficial. Seen this way, addiction is not a moral or legal issue. Rapid Resolution Therapy has a special approach to preventing relapse which has proven effective for thousands of individuals in recovery.

Whether you are struggling with food addictions or drug/alcohol addictions, I believe that all addictions have a similar root. Together, we can get to the roots of your addictions, helping you to better understand why you do what you do. Through greater self understanding coupled with concrete coping skills and relapse prevention plans, I can help you to live a more free life.

If you are preoccupied with an activity or a substance from alcohol to illegal drugs, prescription medication, tobacco, caffeine, or even sex, gambling, shopping or eating; if you "need" a drink or a drug or you can't imagine entirely giving up a behavior or a substance, there is a solution. The first step is admitting that you have a problem and getting professional help. I have a 30 + year background in addictions and Twelve Step recovery. I can help you decide if you need help and the best way to get it. Together we can open the door to recovery. I also provide therapy “tune-ups” and support for those already in recovery.
