If you are looking for a long term rehab for your loved one, look no further. My brother was in a few rehabs before my mother and I found TARC and nothing else could compare. The way the entire staff truly cared about the recovery of the guys there and their families is extraordinary. My brothers case manager, Ryan, always stayed in constant contact with both my mother and I. He was always a phone call away if we had any questions or concerns. He also reached out to us at minimum, on a weekly basis to keep us updated on my brothers progress. He always showed genuine care, compassion and concern. No other facility he was in ever did that! They also offer weekly family support group meetings which have been so helpful. After visiting during one of their family weekends, I could see the positive community and its impact on my brother. They really focus on a healthy lifestyle, behaviors and routines which my brother has continued after leaving TARC. I am extremely grateful for all the staff at TARC and their role in my brothers recovery.

I chose Augustine Recovery because of Jason’s passion, honesty and commitment to recovery and trauma based treatment. Christine guided me through each step of the way to get our son there. Once he arrived, I received a call…he’s here, he’s safe. For the first time, I could breathe. Augustine Recovery has been a life changing experience. The family weekends are immersive, supportive, and meaningful. The treatment team was not just focused on my son; they were piecing together information about our family system in order to promote true healing. The commitment and support that we received was invaluable. Jon, our case manager and Karen, our therapist came together in every way possible to help my son and family. Jon was always one step ahead of me. He would listen and ask questions - often challenging my ideas and was always right in his approach. Karen, our therapist, always knew how to bring things back into balance. I truly appreciate the amount of time she spent to bring about the best outcomes in therapy. I have never witnessed such dedicated people interact with my son and be able to reach the depth of understanding the way they did. I was often in awe of them. My gratitude to Augustine Recovery and the entire staff is immeasurable. Trust the work that they do here and miracles unfold.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful reflection on your family’s experience with Augustine Recovery. Your words mean more to our team than we can adequately express.

From the moment someone enters our care, our hope is that their family can begin to feel some relief knowing their loved one is safe and surrounded by people who genuinely care about their recovery. We also believe deeply that lasting recovery extends beyond the individual. Addiction impacts the entire family, and meaningful healing often requires everyone to have an opportunity to learn, grow, and heal together.

Thank you for recognizing Jason, Christine, Jon, Karen, and the many members of our team who helped support your family along the way. We are incredibly fortunate to have people who approach this work with such dedication, compassion, and willingness to have the difficult conversations that meaningful change sometimes requires.

Most of all, thank you for trusting Augustine Recovery with your son and your family during such an important and vulnerable time. It has been a privilege to walk alongside you, and we are deeply grateful to have been a part of your family’s journey.

I am so grateful for the compassionate care, guidance and support that TARC provided my family. As a sibling, I sometimes felt overlooked in the recovery process. TARC gave me a place to be involved in my brother's recovery and helped me feel supported and included. Every employee is incredible and inspiring, but I want to give special recognition to my brother’s case manager, Jon. His dedication, experience, and support made a profound impact on our family during a challenging and emotional time.

We especially appreciate your recognition of Jon. We will be sure to share your thoughtful words with him and the rest of our team—they are a wonderful reminder of why we do this work each day.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Clinical Services

Therapists who apply cognitive behavioral therapy in Florida believe patient thoughts and behaviors are closely linked. They use this treatment method to help clients change their thought patterns so they can also change behaviors and break free from substance abuse.

Dialectical behavior therapy in Florida consists of individual therapy and group instruction. This structured program is a form of psychotherapy that incorporates the development of skills for managing emotions and relationships.

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.

Individual therapy often includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This is a structured approach to identifying and changing negative thought patterns. During therapy you learn how what you think drives your actions so you can develop healthier coping strategies to manage addiction triggers and reduce drug use.

During family therapy sessions, you navigate the complexities of addiction and are provided tools to help improve communication and resolve conflicts. When you work together, families can better support their loved one's recovery and restore balance and harmony within the household.

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.

It's like a used car dealership. If you're paying out of pocket, they want the lint. If you have insurance to pay, great. They make money to keep the owner surfing in Hawaii. Must be nice. Get your person to meetings..AA or NA. "Rehab" doesn't do it. It's just a scheme *edit. Still a salesperson.... You guys are a screwdriver trying to hammer a nail. The people in the meeting rooms are the ultimate tool. No thank you. Also, update your pictures..they're trash.

Response from the owner
We’re sorry to hear that this was your impression of our program. We understand that treatment is a significant commitment for individuals and families, both personally and financially, and we never take that lightly. We also agree that long-term recovery requires much more than simply attending a treatment program. Community support, 12-Step involvement, continued accountability, and ongoing recovery work are all important parts of the process. Our goal is to help individuals build that foundation while providing the structure, clinical care, and support needed during treatment. We take feedback seriously and are always willing to have a direct conversation about concerns or experiences with our program.
