Turning Point of Tampa Inc works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Aetna

Cigna

UnitedHealth Group

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.

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. For those in need of residential treatment, Turning Point of Tampa provides services that are second to none. Turning Point of Tampa is one of the few facilities in Florida that is licensed to provide residential treatment.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) 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.

Aftercare Support

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.

12-Step

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).

Partial Hospitalization Program

Often referred to as "day treatment," a partial hospitalization program (PHP) offers an intensive treatment option that allows individuals to return home at night. PHP treatment typically requires a minimum of 20 hours a week for an average of 90 days. Participants attend daily therapeutic sessions, receive medication management, and have access to skilled medical professionals. While costs can vary, most insurance will fully or partially cover a partial hospitalization program.

24-Hour Clinical 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.

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.

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.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person’s mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation. For many clients that have a dependency on drugs, alcohol or an eating disorder is deeply intertwined with a co-occurring diagnosis. Turning Point of Tampa addresses all of these circumstances and treat the individual as a whole.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.

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

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.

Equine Therapy

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.

As a short term therapeutic method, motivational interviewing in Florida requires only a couple of sessions. During these sessions, you'll have the opportunity to talk about your circumstances and any discrepancies between your current situation and future goals. You'll then decide for yourself what changes you want to make.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

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. Turning Point of Tampa provides a three-day intensive Family Program that is designed to help family members find some much-needed relief. In group lectures, family members are educated on the illness from which their loved one suffers and what it means to recover from it. During this program, the client and family participate together, in order for them to gain a clear understanding of recovery.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

FOR THOSE SEEKING TREATMENT FOR AN EATING DISORDER: I hate writing negative reviews, but I just hope to prevent one person from going through what I went through. I can't and won't speak on substance abuse, because that isn't a problem I face. I will, however, speak upon Turning Point's eating disorder treatment program. They sucked me in by telling me during my assessment that they prohibited white flour and sugar. I assumed they meant that triggering foods wouldn't be allowed in treatment. That's not the case. They posit that you don't eat foods containing white flour and sugar for the rest of your life. You weigh and measure every morsel that goes onto your plate. It doesn't matter if you go out to a restaurant, or it's your birthday, or your family makes you dinner. Everything must be portioned perfectly. If you make a mistake, they tell you that you've relapsed. They glorify weight loss as well. It's sick. It made me have more fear foods at the end of treatment than before going in. Please save yourself the time and money. Find a different eating disorder treatment center. Food isn't black and white. It shouldn't be. I've seen it happen time and time again: people come out of Turning Point, weighing and measuring all of their food. They make one mistake and then quit. Believing they're not capable of recovery. Turning Point makes you believe their way is the only way. It's not. Call and ask for their stats on eating disorders. They only tell you that 80% of people who go in will complete the program. They keep in touch with those with substance abuse, but not those with eating disorders. It's for a reason. They asked me if I wanted to be contacted after treatment. They only ever asked me if I was using drugs or alcohol. I offered to tell them how my eating disorder recovery was going. Update: It's been seven years since I first set foot into Turning Point. Four years ago, I found Center for Discovery in Tampa. Their eating disorder program is stellar!! If you're hoping to learn how to eat intuitively, check them out.

Turning point of Tampa is a very sad excuse for a very profitable business. If you need help they will only help you in a way they want to help you. I’m very sad to have wasted what was to be an investment to myself there it’s dirty staff treat you based on if they like you or not. The residential part is very petty they will make you feel small. I left and tried to see if they would help me through an out patient program they have and they told me that the clinical team doesn’t think that’s what will help me so I will have to settle for the hard fact that I chose a very poor program I’m embarrassed to have been associated with them and I feel so bad for anyone there and anyone else that falls into their trap. Please read the reviews before committing.

I had one son that went to Whitesands and one to turning point at the same time. They are twins so they recommended that they be separated. Whitesands has a far superior program. There were several staff members that were unkind but one in particular caters to the women. He is one of the housing managers. His name is Mike Llauget. None of the males in the program that I met and talked to had anything positive to say about him. I had heard my son talk about a particular housing manager that treated the males and females differently but I actually witnessed it firsthand. I went in to get some of my sons belongings and 2 important referrals he needed for the next day. My son had attempted it a different day and earlier the same day. He said like I told him I will get it when I have time. I waited for a half an hour after he had already waited a half an hour. He told me it was at the other house even though we had been told it was there. He said I will call nursing and find out about the referrals. When he came out he had the belongings that he told us were at the other place plus both referrals. The tone of his apology for the wait was so condescending especially because he acted like we were wasting his time before that. We waited an hour and a half for something that probably took him a total of 8 minutes to do. He is still missing other things he told was not there so we will be working on that next. My son got really sick while he was there which required a visit to a free standing ER and a specialist. I took him to both. I asked if he would be allowed to rest or he would end up in the hospital and that's exactly what happened. He ended up going via ambulance and stayed overnight. I had to take him ama home just to get rest. I had to intervene a few times because he was having difficulty getting his needs met. He had multiple traumatic brain injuries which makes it difficult to remember, causes emotional problems, and difficulty organizing thoughts. I had to tell them a few times about the TBI. There is a disconnect there. Instead of being a team environment where information is shared its all separate so no continuity. Miscommunication and ineffective communication is not good for any situation but especially in that type of environment. The director of nursing and the receptionist were amazing. Both were very kind and easy to work with. The therapist was nice but not available enough for what the needs are. He saw his therapist 3 times in 4 weeks. At Whitesands he saw his brother saw the therapist 2 times per week. Plus for our family counseling. Since he has been home his mental health is so much better and he is attending meetings daily.

“Buyer Beware” if you are a real Alcoholic or want proper care I wouldn’t recommend to my friends or loved ones, had packages sent here and was transferred to another horrible facility prior to them getting their the next day, the “Detox Therapist” or whatever she called herself very condescending and contradicting. Mind you I’m a self made sales man, not a Daddys boy, felt discriminated against, makes sense why 3.9 review been around since 1987 Dinosaur 🦖 ideas of AA and addiction. Couldn’t be more disgusted, what a waste of time and money
