About Dr. Paul’s at the Bay

Dr. Paul’s at the Bay in St. Pete Beach, Florida is part of the Spencer Recovery Network. They welcome adults battling addiction and co-occurring disorders. Many clients find the views of Boca Ciega Bay give them a soothing environment to focus on growth and healing. You’ll benefit from accessible payment options to get started on your journey. They accept almost all major insurance companies to ensure you find the care you need. If you don’t have insurance, they provide financing options, treatment scholarships, and payment arrangements based on eligibility.

As a Joint Commission accredited facility, they provide expert backed and personalized care. After a thorough assessment you receive a customized treatment plan curated to meet your unique needs. Private and group counseling and addiction education along with relapse prevention and life skills training are available. They also provide nutritional coaching and recreation.

What stands out most to me is their extended care program. Stepping down from residential rehab to a less structured environment can come with some hurdles. This specialized program helps you transition smoothly as you learn to apply new skills in daily life. Along with ongoing therapy you can access sober living accountability groups and relapse prevention workshops. They also have vocational training and internships along with community integration. These activities can help you rebuild your life while strengthening your support network.

Another standout feature is their program structure. Although a minimum of 28 days is recommended, they can accommodate any length of stay. I think this is a helpful approach because recovery is different for everyone. You can move at your own pace while knowing that they’re there to offer support and guidance.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive 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.

sober-living iconSober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

12-step icon12-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).

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

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.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

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-abuse iconSubstance Abuse

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.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup 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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

life-skills iconLife Skills

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.

A self-described addiction expert on YouTube identifies as working for this company. She has been using her channel to attack, degrade and harass people. What kind of supposed recovery counselor does that? Run away.

This place literally saved my life. I ve been to multiple treatment centers and this one is by far the best one I ve ever been to. I got and stayed sober here and I will forever be grateful for Spenser s recovery centers. The staff and nurses are absolutely amazing and made my time there feel like I was at home as much as I could possibly feel like that. They treat you like a person and not like another person that comes and goes. It s an amazing place to get sober and if you truly want to get and stay sober I highly recommend Spencer s recovery centers.

I cannot say enough nice things about Spencer Recovery Group. Dr. Paul's By the Sea and Dr. Paul's at the Bay saved our son's life and restored the peace in our family. If other rehabs have failed this one will not so before you give up hope call Spencer Recovery Group. Their facilities took our family member out of his trigger areas and helped him restore his life clean and sober. Our son plans to stay in Florida complete counseling school and work full time while residing in their sober living program. Call today they will help you.

This is an absolutely beautiful place to recover. The placement of where we stay at is on the bay where it is very peaceful to find your own serenity. These staff members are absolutely amazing as well they are willing to help you in any way they can and the counselors are genuinely interested in your life and what they can do to help you find your way. My sobriety is very strong and is still going strong because of Spencers recovery without them I don't know where I would be.. thank you Spencers!!!

This place by far is the worst place on the face of the earth. They lie to you about where you are going. The staff tells you that you have your own room on the beach. The facility is a hospital setting. Very dirty, ants crawling all over the counters. Everyday breakfast is the same buiscets an gravy, lunch is the same everyday as well . The same soup with salad. Dinner is the only thing that changes but it s the same every week. There s 4 groups throughout the day. Clients that have been here less than 2 weeks run these groups, only 1 group out of 4 is runned by a therapist/counselor. A counselor is suppose to see you once every week atleast for an hour, they barley can do that, it took about a week a half to even have someone see me. They have no doctors on the floor, you have to wait until a doctor can see you and that s not even in person it s over Skype. How that s legal for a doctor to prescribe detox medication over a computer without seeing you in person is by far ridiculous. My card has been charged over the amount for over 100 dollars an when called the pharmacy they said co-payment was 25 dollars ... when asked the staff where the rest of the money went no one can account for this missing money. This place is a joke, and it s sad that insurance company like mine pays them over 80,000 dollars for 28days, and that s 1 person, and I did not receive the help I should have. I ve contacted the lawyers office about this place. Anybody. Reading this please. There are so many beautiful places here in Florida that actually care about you and give you the help you deserve. Do not come here! This place only cares about your insurance money. Not your well-being. ....( st. Augustine Florida location. )
