Group sessions are a great opportunity for clients to receive peer support and accountability, and get used to giving and receiving feedback within a safe, facilitated environment.

For more intensive care, the team can help refer clients to relevant local services.
MAT is offered alongside counseling as a proven and super effective method of addiction recovery. Here they mostly use FDA-approved meds like methadone, buprenorphine, or Suboxone. Clients are encouraged to check in regularly with medical staff to update on any side effects or changes so that their prescriptions can be adapted accordingly to best suit their changing needs.
As for what former clients have to say, feedback is mixed but mostly positive. Many praise the facility’s smooth operation, and its hardworking, helpful, and supportive nursing staff.

Our Methodology
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) involve frequent and robust therapeutic sessions for clients requiring high-level care. Clients may engage in a combination of medication assisted treatment (MAT), addiction counseling, recovery skills training, and holistic therapies for a minimum of nine and a maximum of 20 hours per week. Intensive outpatient rehab is designed primarily for persons in early recovery, those exiting detox or inpatient care, and those at an elevated relapse risk.
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
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.
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.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
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.

The intake coordinator has zero insight into what it mean an to provide effective, therapeutic care. She lacks necessary education/training vital to be helpful in this role. She is disrespectful and combative. The head nurse unfortunately is shockingly inappropriate in the w ...
They want this to be sure and to the point I'll tell you that new season Sarasota is the best choice I have ever made and you could probably ever make. To those who say they're all about the money and it's made for Suburban kids or Suburban people and not for Junkies. Just t ...
just correcting a few errors in their overview; they have moved to south sarasota off clark rd between honore & mcintosh. they do NOT accept insurance OF ANY KIND! i was told because they would have to hire more people . way too many "counselors" cooing over babies. they ins ...
I've been going to New Season for over 2 years. They have an amazing staff, they all go above and beyond. I would highly recommend New Season Sarasota for anyone suffering from their drug use. Seriously, this place is definitely the best option in the Sarasota area.
The current intake coordinator and head nurse make the intake process uncomfortable, embarrassing,confusing and painful. I arrived at 0500 requesting to do an intake. I was talked into doing guest dosing instead, told this would be the fastest way to get my dose after not receiving my medicine for 4 days. After being there for 7 hours I was told by the lead nurse I would need to leave without dosing; despite myself spending over 4 hours on the phone with the clinic I was transferring from in oregon. The head nurse told me this is their workflow for the patient to be the one to contact their prior clinic to request records and doctors orders and perform all of the care coordination. Care coordination is absolutely something the nurse participating in the intake should assist with. She sat at her desk, often with nothing to do and refused to help. Refused to contact the new seasons doctor she works for who was waiting on telehealth to see intake patients. The only reason I got dosed after over 7 hours was because I did over 4 hours worth of work on the phone with the clinic I was transferring from and continued to advocate for myself. Renee SUDP ended up stepping in and assured I was able to dose but if it was up to the intake coordinator and head nurse who does th intake I would have spent 8 hour there and then told to leave without being medicated. These SUD intakes are private, embarrassing and vulnerable and having to deal with these 2 staff lack of empathy, compassion, kindness and basic human respect made it intolerable. They were not at all othered or concerned that I hadn't been able to access my medicine for 4 days and was having severe symptoms. They were not helpful and were actually very harmful. It is dry leaf they both look down on and have zero respect for patients experiencing SUD. They should both seek roles and environments that do not require them to be kind, understanding, non judgemental or respectful because they lack the ability to do so. They are both verbally abusive to patients with such confidence they clearly believe that to be the acceptable culture at this clinic. Management should job shadow and seek patients feedback asap. They will be appalled by what they uncover. If yourseeking treatment at new seasons, the Bay area location outside clearwater FL is a very therapeutic,positive, opposing experience.
UPDATE : 3/24/26. Stan from new seasons contacted me after this post and apologized for the confusion and straightened everything out within a day. The program director and the counselors at the Sarasota New season treatment center very helpful and very pleasant I have one Problem I had to pay out-of-pocket for my first three dosing because I was told by Elise that she wasn’t sure Medicare will pay even though they accepted Medicare, Well Medicare paid them and and this person Elise will not return my phone calls so I don’t know how to get my refund I left messages on her office phone and her cell phone I call almost every day for the last three weeks so if anyone has Medicare be careful of the new season treatment center donewtx Wc she will not return my calls so if anyone has Medicare be careful of the new season treatment center
