We sought help here for my wife. They took TriCare. They start out o.k., nice facility, but it quickly turns south. The business was recently sold, and they are still working out quirks, but it's evident, the "investors" who bought the business really don't care about "recovery", but about profit. It's a mandatory 60 day program, not including detox, and they hide that from you upon 1st entering. All they care about is meeting insurance requirements for treatment even at the expense of the patients health. The medical doctor and his staff are really awesome, however, the counseling and treatment team are off their rocker! They have the sympathy of a flea! They are so focused on the addiction, they miss critical information and simply are not equipped to deal with patients with multiple health issues.

Although this place means well and helps some, it really boils down to money and them brainwashing you into believing their BS. 1st off, they do not tell you it is a required 60 day program when you sign the documents when drugged out in detox. They then encourage you to stay longer. They focus so much on what caused your addiction, and have no concern about your health issues, just making sure you meet the required hours to please insurance. Although its a nice property with a pool and sauna, not to mention private rooms, you are treated like a prisoner. Candy wrapper in your room, STRIKE, and you are punished and not allowed to go on and outing. Its honestly just not a healing place, when you need that most. Having tried them a few times, I had no luck and saw a relapse rate that was off the charts!!! They have you come back for 30 more days! I am being 100% honest, this road of recovery is hard and I am in it, but this place doesn't really care about you. They care about making money and proving they are right, and their not.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

24-hour clinical care in Florida is an essential part of treatment, particularly with medical detox. Withdrawal symptoms can be severe, and supervised detox provides around the clock access to medical professionals who can adminsiter proper medications and treatment to address these symptoms and step in should an emergency occur. This intensive clinical care will help curb the withdrawal effects, minimize substance dependence, and prepare you for the next step of treatment.

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

Outpatient rehabs encompass multiple levels of care to facilitate clients' progress through their recovery journey. Clients who are stepping down from inpatient treatment may require intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment, which involves more frequent and substantive therapeutic interventions than does standard outpatient care. Outpatient centers typically provide extensive addiction counseling, including individual, group, and family therapy. Medication assisted treatment programs (MAT) and recovery-focused life skills training are also common in outpatient care.

Rehab aftercare programs are a collection of highly individualized services designed to promote long-term recovery. These services evolve as your needs change. Case managers and recovery teams typically begin formulating the rehab aftercare service plan early in the recovery process to facilitate your reintegration back into the home, workplace, and community.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome dependency related to a wide range of addictive substances. Programs address both the physical and mental aspects of addiction in order to help you make a full recovery.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

In Florida, dual-diagnosis addiction treatment treats mental health and substance use disorders concurrently to enhance successful recovery outcomes and improve overall health. Specialized rehab programs include medical detox, outpatient, residential treatment, and intensive outpatient programs. Using evidence-based therapies, like dialectical behavioral therapy or medication-assisted treatment, clinicians successfully treat dual-diagnosis addiction and mental health conditions. Other activities include group therapy and skills training, to equip you with the skills required to achieve and sustain your recovery.

Programs

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.

Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.

Clinical Services

Types of creative arts therapy in Florida include playing music, writing poetry, journaling, dancing, painting, and sculpting. These expressive activities can help you process emotions and work through challenges with the guidance of a creative arts therapist.

Group therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for people in Florida who are struggling with drug addiction. There you can openly discuss the challenges and progress you're making without fear of judgment from your peers who experience many of the same things you are.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Life skills are the core skills you need for daily success. They can include self care, stress management, daily routines, and emotion control. Rehab treatment includes the development of these skills so you have the tools you need for long term recovery.

Substance abuse creates biochemical imbalances in your body and brain. By implementing dietary changes, you can restore that balance. This is the goal of nutrition therapy in Florida. You'll gain an understanding of what nutrients your body needs and learn best self care practices.

Recreational therapy helps you recover from addiction by giving you structured activities that promote your physical health and mental well being. These activities could range from sports and fitness to creative arts and provide a constructive outlet for your emotions and stress.

Trauma therapy helps you work through the psychological impact that traumatic events have had on your life. Your therapist helps you identify the physical, emotional, and mental triggers and develop coping mechanisms. This helps rebuild a sense of safety and trust in yourself and others.

The program good, counselors very good. Unfortunately the insurance dept. and coordinator are inept boarding on incompetent, despite being a self proclaimed insurance "expert". Payment in full is required up front, as GB is out of network with many, if not all carriers. ... Read More

My experience at Gulf Breeze Recovery was truly life changing and unparalleled. Never once was I treated as an addict. Respect concern and appreciation were the overwhelming sentiments I benefited from. The facility is beautiful, clean, spacious and profoundly comfortable. The food prepared by the private chef was always restaurant quality. The support staff works hard to meet every accommodation. The skilled medical staff understands what the guests are going through and treats each one with utmost care. The counseling staff is profoundly skilled at helping address underlying issues that prevent full healing and return to health. The holistic approach that Gulf Breeze Recovery employs helps to ensure the mind, body and spirit have opportunity to heal and grow. Medicine, nutrition, exercise, cognitive therapy, recreation, Neurofeedback, art, EMDR, sun, fresh air, community....all of these aspects combine to enable a person to begin to heal. I will forever be grateful for the privilege of being a guest at Gulf Breeze Recovery. I love the staff there and am permanently changed for the better by them.

GBR is truly an amazing place and program. I’m a graduate from over 6 years ago and used to say they saved my life which they did, but as time goes on it became apparent they gave me life. Life free of booze is just amazing. This is Not a 12 step program quite the opposite its optimism and strength vs weakness and pray I get thru the day. The facility is top notch, the staff care so much and I really can’t imagine where I would have ended up had I not chosen GBR. Well 6’ under, do yourself a favor trust in this place. Thanks GBR and the entire team for all that you do.
