WESTERMAN AND ASSOCIATES, INC.
PLANTATION, FLORIDA

Westerman and Associates may sound large, but it is a small practice of professionals dedicated to individualized care. Penny will assist you when you call or come for an appointment.  We believe in spending sufficient time with the client during an appointment. We also schedule appointments often enough to insure proper care. This is possible by a partnership of clients and providers who each realize a responsibility for the success of the relationship. Patient and Provider Responsibilities The provider’s responsibilities include setting aside a time for your appointment, seeing you at the time scheduled, greeting you as a valued customer, providing services that address your needs, providing prescriptions and being available for assistance by telephone between visits. Fortunately, there are treatment options available that are effective and lifesaving.  It is important to note, however, that NO ONE TREATMENT OPTION IS RIGHT FOR EVERYONE.  Each person is an individual and brings his/her own set of unique issues to treatment; there is no one-size-fits-all solution.  Each person must own his/her recovery and work with a qualified physician to find the right setting and circumstances to best achieve their goal.  Some people with other medical problems will require inpatient treatment, with follow up care upon release.  Some people will benefit from outpatient treatment under the guidance of a qualified physician who can help the patient with medication, personal advice and recommendations.  Additional personal or group counseling is recommended. We also have a licensed and experienced therapist, Paula Sheldon, on staff who can offer marriage, family and individual therapy to help the patient and families resolve lingering issues related to the opiate problem in the home.
