About Footprints Beachside Recovery

Addiction-related treatments at this facility include inpatient addiction treatment, dual diagnosis treatment, outpatient addiction treatment, sober living, and specialized programming for separate men’s and women’s treatment.

Residential Addiction Treatment
Men and women are separated into their own inpatient treatment programs that are designed to help them identify triggers, develop healthy coping skills, and build a solid foundation for sobriety. Treatment components include group, one-on-one, and family therapy, health counseling, relapse-prevention planning, and aftercare planning.

Outpatient Addiction Treatment
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is available virtually or in person in the evenings. Outpatient sessions focus on group therapy, individual therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, family therapy, relapse-prevention skills, and communication skills. The IOP involves around 27 hours of treatment per week, while the regular outpatient program (OP) provides between nine and 15 hours of treatment per week. The OP includes individual and group therapy, holistic therapy, motivational interviewing, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Sober Living
Footprints’ sober living environment bridges the gap between treatment and everyday life. It offers peer-to-peer support and weekly house meetings. Residents are required to maintain employment, meet curfews, and submit to drug testing.

I have been through about 9 treatment centers. The cravings are always there, I am afraid and resistant to getting help. I usually leave or give up after week two or three. I've noticed a significant change here at Footprints Beachside Recovery for me. I don't want to leave, my cravings have almost gone down completely and I look forward to learning something new everyday. I am an escape artist. I run when things get tough. The way the beach is utilized here is perfect for me to find serenity, peace and calmness within myself. Meetings are enforced everyday and recreational activities. We are also able to go to the gym as I am a world class martial artist. I was about to give up on myself before I found this program. Thank God I came here.

So where do I begin, let’s start with my background I’m 41 years old I’ve been struggling with addiction for over 20 years I’ve been to 24 different rehabs throughout the state of Florida I’ve had troubles with both alcohol and drugs my whole life. I’ve been locked up I’ve been kicked out of my home I have been hospitalized and shined from my family. I have been in many facilities that I thought was going to work but never did. I couldn’t ever stay sober when I was released from any facility for mor than a few months and I lived at programs for years before. I found footprints beachside recovery online and said I’m gonna try it it was just another rehab when I signed up but when I got there everything changed. Today I am 6 months free and sober thanks to footprints. The difference in this rehab compared to others is once you walk through the door you feel like family you don’t feel like a number everyone is on the same page when it comes to you and everything that goes on with you. Your living quarters are above expectation and the cleanest I’ve ever been in compared to other facilities. The groups are very informational but also taught in a way I could understand and relate with. All the clients were on my level and felt the same. Whatever I needed was supplied for me and even John’s dad comes up and shakes your hand your on a first name bases with every staff member. John’s brother Shane helped me with many face to face talks as did John. At footprints they get involved and they care they want to know what’s going on with you and they want to help. I am now still going to iop after my residency and my 30 days tuned into almost 5 months now with them. If your looking for a place to get your shit together call ask for John and let him and his crew help they did for me what I couldn’t do myself and nobody else could either. Today I’m as sober and happy as I’ve ever been they helped me save my life. It can be done it’s up to you to keep trying. Thank you footprints!

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 iconOutpatient

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 iconInpatient

Clients typically choose inpatient rehab when they are in early recovery or are experiencing a crisis that puts them at an increased risk of relapse. They reside at the treatment center for the length of their program, which may range from two weeks to more than 18 months, depending on the program design. Intensive psychotherapy is often the primary treatment modality, but clients in inpatient care may also receive holistic treatment and recovery-focused life skills training.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive 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 IOP program can be anywhere from 9 to 15 hours a week.

aftercare iconAftercare 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.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial 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 ~ 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. At Footprints, the PHP program is 27 hours a week.

24-hour icon24-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 iconMedically 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

adult-program thumbnail image

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 thumbnail image

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.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image

LGBTQ Program

Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image

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

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

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 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.

EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.

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.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

What a memorable experience. Had I known treatment centers like Footprints existed I would have checked in a lot sooner. Im very happy with the tools and resources I have received from them. A very welcoming environment with knowledgeable staff and counselors. If you are in need of a recovery program for yourself or a loved one, Footprints Beachside is in my opinion top tier. Currently 5 months sober and thanks to everyone at Footprints I have the tools to make it a lifetime.

Tools for Sobriety are taught and expected to be used. This Program taught me accountability and self reliance in my Sobriety. Those that seek sobriety with Selflessness here will achieve a Level of Success that they may have never dreamed of. At least I have! As a former Garbage Head I knew the Staff from Ms.T all the way through to Halle and Phil to Scott and Randi but also Jon and his Family. They have their own stories and experiences having successful for and in sobriety. But most importantly on how to pick yourself up from falling away. Thank You Everyone for Delivering the tools I forgot I had and giving me the nudge to Self Confidence in Self Reliance. Learned how to care to pick them up Truly Grateful for experiencing this program and the Love and Considerations shown for everyone's Sobriety here. It only works if you work it!

Response from the owner
