Riverside Recovery was an unforgettable experience in my recovery journey. The staff were the absolute best on the planet. Both profession and polite it was as if l became part of a family. They provided important discoveries in the underlying issues that continued to interupt my recovery journey. They provided a veterans group for special needs with past traumas while in the military. Also provided family therapy for me and my daughter. Which was much needed and l am forever grateful for. Last but not least. I still attend Alumni mtg's once a month for contniued commardarie with the Riverside Recovery family. Riverside Recovery has been truly a blessing in my life.

Riverside Recovery was completely disorganized. At discharge, they lost my medication, leaving me without what I was prescribed. The staff took no responsibility and offered no real solution. This kind of negligence is unacceptable stay away.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

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.

Inpatient

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.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. The Intensive Outpatient Program gives patients the chance to participate in a structured treatment plan part-time while they transition back to home and work or other responsibilities.

Partial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Medically Assisted Detox

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.

Programs

Adult Program

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 Adult Program

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.

Military Program

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).

Clinical Services

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.

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.

Riverside literally saved my life. I learned so much about the disease of addiction and so much about myself while in treatment. I almost died from this disease. At my lowest and most desperate, Riverside took me in and helped show me new life. I went through inpatient, PHP, and IOP treatment thru Riverside. Every step and every phase of my experience was phenomenal. If there is a better treatment center out there (I’ve heard horror stories about others), I don’t know where it is. Riverside is staffed with people who are compassionate, attentive, knowledgable, and incredibly professional- from the housekeeping staff to therapists, nurses, and administrative staff. They really do care and they are all excellent at what they do. Any expectations I could have had were exceeded. From the top down, this organization is phenomenal. Maintenance and cleaning staff kept the facility in immaculate condition. Therapists provided insightful and practical individual and group therapy. They gave me a safe, hospitable place to recover, helped me see inside myself, and provided the tools and resources to give me the best chance possible at persistent recovery. The food and amenities were well above par. I even spoke with the clinical director on multiple occasions. Every facet of this organization is finely tuned toward the end goal of client recovery. If you or a loved one need the help that I needed, I can’t recommend Riverside enough. I could not have done this without them. I will be forever grateful to Riverside Recovery of Tampa for giving me and my family a new chance at life and a brighter future.

Thank you for sharing your story and for your kind words about Riverside Recovery, J P. We are truly honored to have been part of your journey, and it means so much to hear how our team made a difference in your life. Your strength and dedication to recovery are truly inspiring. We are proud of your progress and grateful to know that Riverside had such a positive impact. We will always be here to support you. - The Riverside Recovery Team

Michael Smotkin

The staff and employees here held themselves to a very high standard. The bar in Florida is very low, but what you will find here is comparable to any legitimately accredited facility nationwide where the market for treatment is scarce and heavily regulated by state and local authorities. The therapists here are very professional and highly educated, offering real modalities to their clients adapting to any and most every circumstance. These people are the real deal and they hold themselves accountable, with a workplace culture of integrity being very evident. I had issues with my insurance company, but I would definitely recommend to anyone who is serious about treatment.

Thank you for taking the time to leave this thoughtful review, Michael. We truly appreciate your recognition of our team’s commitment to high standards and professionalism. Providing quality care with integrity is at the heart of what we do, and it is wonderful to know that this made a difference in your experience. We are grateful for your recommendation and proud to have been part of your journey. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we wish you continued success in your recovery. - The Riverside Recovery Team

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 It is my absolute pleasure to take the time to write this letter of recognition for the exceptional staff and team at Riverside Recovery. Life can be incredibly challenging when battling a mental health issue, such as alcoholism, but from the very first moment I checked into Riverside Recovery, I knew—even in my clouded state of mind—that I was in the right hands for recovery. The team at Riverside Recovery works one-on-one with every individual, regardless of how many patients are in the facility. The food and snacks are beyond reproach; you simply cannot find a better place to be served three or more meals a day, depending on your choice. Even the food team that comes in to prepare and serve the meals treats you with respect, knowing you by name—something virtually unheard of in today’s world where many people won't even look you in the eye. The counselors at Riverside Recovery have pushed me further ahead in my journey of sobriety than I ever could have imagined. Each person I met genuinely seemed to care about me personally and my well-being. My counselor, Will, made communicating my thoughts during my 30-day stay feel comfortable and natural. Writing my life story was stressful, but Will reassured me that he was by my side every step of the way, providing guidance and suggestions without rewriting my story. With all the changes incorporated, I felt at ease sharing my story with other patients in my group. Throughout my brief period at the facility, every staff member I worked with treated me with the utmost respect and kindness, making me feel like part of the Riverside family. Even after completing my recovery, I enjoy visiting Riverside Recovery from time to time just to have a pleasurable conversation with the team. If you’re struggling with mental health issues, this is the facility for you. Don’t go at it alone—get the help you need, and trust that these people will get you back on track in life and stick with you even after recovery.

Thank you for your thoughtful and heartfelt review, Johnny. We are honored to have been part of your recovery journey and grateful for your kind words about our team, especially Will. It means so much to hear that you felt supported, respected, and cared for during your time at Riverside Recovery. Your strength and commitment to sobriety are truly inspiring, and we are always here for you, whether for support or just a friendly visit. Wishing you continued success on your journey. - The Riverside Recovery Team

First off, let me say this was not my first treatment center. However, the hotel room style accommodations, very patient staff, And other nice amenities and the aesthetic made it very easy to focus on my recovery and getting better. The alumni program is great. We get together once a month and support each other. I’ve seen some other treatment center since leaving Riverside and I have to say how fortunate I was to be able to go there

Thanks for recommending us, Richard! We take great pride in our facility and the staff who help those suffering from a substance use disorder. We're happy to hear you had a good experience. - Jotham Fady, Director of Admissions
