The staff and practitioners have no bedside manor. You would expect that given the clientele the front office staff would have a modicum of sensitivity but you'd be wrong. The first time I went, I was surprised at how they ignored the patients at their windows, but figured it might be an off day NOPE - at my visit today I witnessed the same behavior directed towards others and experienced it myself. I notified them that the bathroom was in disrepair and in the 10 min before the visit no one serviced it. When I came out of my visit I was ignored by 4 people and eventually I just left.When my clinician called me back, I spotted a restroom in the way and asked to use it because the one up front needed service. When I came out she seemed put off by the fact I didn't just ignore my needs. In the visit, I told the clinician about another clinician in the practice not returning phone calls and she seemed to dismiss it. No empathy, and when I asked for guidance I got general advice I could Google.Don't waste your money or time on any of the practitioners and certainly don't waste your time trying to engage the office staff.

Trying to find mental health for a child is hard enough. I drive over an hour for a 5 min appt to be rushed in and out of the office. When I call for med refill, I either get no reply and have to call again or told he has to be seen first. I can't send him to school without meds, home is chaotic without his meds, and I end up crying all day from stress. Do I have to baker act a child to get the meds and knock his confidence down because this office is over worked and don't care? He can't even go to school which sets him back even farther. There is the no care for people's mental and behavioral well being especially for children.

Accepted Insurance

BayCare Behavioral Health- Life Management Center (Tampa) works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Aetna

Cigna

Humana

UnitedHealth Group

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Teen Program

Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.

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.

Program For Men

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.

Program For Women

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.

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.

Child Program

The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.

Hearing Impaired Program

A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.

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 (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

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.

Accreditations

The Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF) is a non-profit organization that specifically accredits rehab organizations. Founded in 1966, CARF's, mission is to help service providers like rehab facilities maintain high standards of care.

CARF Accreditation: Yes
Accreditation Number: 200380

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is a branch of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Established in 1992 by congress, SAMHSA's mission is to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on American's communities.

SAMHSA Listed: Yes

This is quite literally the worst medical office I've ever visited. They made me wait an entire hour and a half past my appointment time and then blamed it on the hospital for over scheduling their office. They have absolutely no regard or respect for other people's time, and it's so rude. My appointment itself was an entire 6 minutes, and this is ridiculous.

I received a call on Friday to come in for an appt on Monday. I d let my boss know that I will be leaving work early. I was lucky enough that It was no problem for my job . But I would get paid for it . I get to the appt and found out that the appt was canceled bc the A/C broke and no one had reached out to me to inform of me this . That was Monday. Today is Wednesday and have not even heard back from the office. I will not recommend this place ever to no one . How unprofessional to not call your patient and advise that we have to move the appt . Even if it was the same day but not let me drive all the way there just to find out my daughter first appt was cancelled !

Trust the negative reviews! If you really care about improving your mental health, do not come here. As many others have said, it is impossible to get in touch with anyone, even after leaving voicemails. When leaving a voicemail, it says they will return your call in 24 hours, but they won't. Came to them for medication management. I waited more than one month for an initial appointment. One week later, I ve yet to receive any follow up about my treatment plan or prescribing the medication I need, and no return to my voicemails. It has been extremely hard and long for me to get scheduled with a new psychiatrist. I wish I d used these past two months waiting for an appointment with a better office.

I was really looking forward to finally getting mental health and I waited 2 months for a therapy appointment for it to be cancelled a couple days before the appointment because the provider is now going on vacation, which should have been planned beforehand. The receptionist called me to reschedule and the next appointment is February 2024. Due to no fault of my own I have to wait 4 months for an appointment. Seeking mental health should never be this difficult.

Horrible place. You are a body in an assembly line. You are not important because when you need them they don't respond. During the pandemic they were the most useless doctors. They are not available after hours and that is when you really need help

On my first visit there I was asked to come in early and was informed they would have enough time to get my evaluation done. Started my evaluation only to stop half way through it because their next appointment was there. When trying to schedule my next appointment I would have to wait 2 months to be seen again. When I went and spoke to my "therapist" and they heard everything that has happened to me told me that they will have to report this. Did not take into my account what I was there for and what I needed at that point and had me crying in tears due to the fact that they have to report it. Told me when I asked not to that they will have to consult their supervisor to determine the best course of action. I will not go back to that location or to that "therapist" worst thing that I ever did. It makes me not want to seek out help due to this experience.
