New Beginnings and all the staff have been a true blessing. The place is not the Ritz, but provides a great, safe, transitional place, provided one abides by the rules. I needed a temporary housing assist for about a month until I got myself back on my feet and working again and this place gave me all the answers. Thank you, James, and all the staff at NB for giving me a hand up during these trying times and making this place feel like home. God Bless!

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
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. Their program offers their patients a safe place to live and a personalized, gender-responsive program of guidance to help them stabilize their lives
12-step icon12-Step
12 step programs support recovery through emotional, psychological, and spiritual development to address the root causes of addiction. These programs are peer directed, with participants regularly attending 12 step meetings, which are anonymous, free, and accessible day and night, year-round. Recovery is based on "working the steps" to understand the source of addiction, take accountability for one's life choices, and relinquish control for that which cannot be changed. Age-specific, gender-separate, and other specialized programs are widely available.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
A sober living home in Florida often serves as a transitional residence for individuals coming out of inpatient rehab. This helps those in recovery avoid isolation that can sometimes happen after they return home from treatment. It offers a supportive environment where they can practice skills learned in rehab. Offering a combination of structure and freedom, men's or women's sober living is a good stepping stone to independent life in recovery.
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.

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.

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 thumbnail image
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 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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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 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.
child-program thumbnail image
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.
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

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.

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.

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.

Substance abuse creates biochemical imbalances in your body and brain. By implementing dietary changes, you can restore that balance. This is the goal of nutrition therapy in Florida. You'll gain an understanding of what nutrients your body needs and learn best self care practices.

My experience at New Beginnings has been marked by a series of challenges that have significantly impacted my stay. Unfortunately, the overall atmosphere has been far from conducive to the fresh start I had hoped for.One of the most persistent issues has been the ongoing lack of power in my shared room for over a month. This has not only made daily activities challenging but has also contributed to an overall sense of discomfort. Additionally, the broken washer and dryer for the past three weeks have made it difficult to maintain basic hygiene, adding another layer of frustration.The empty propane tank for the main kitchen has restricted our meals to cold food, which, while better than the daily offerings, still leaves much to be desired. The absence of hot water is yet another hurdle, making the most basic routines an arduous task.Furthermore, the presence of bed bugs in some rooms is a serious concern for hygiene and well-being. It is disheartening to find such issues within a living space.The staff's attitude has also played a role in my overall dissatisfaction. Experiencing condescension from them has only added to the difficulties I face daily. The mandatory sign-in and sign-out process for every departure feels overly restrictive and cumbersome.Compounding these challenges are mandatory meetings that interfere with work schedules, hindering attempts to find employment and stability. While I appreciate the fact that New Beginnings provides a free place to stay and does not impose an immediate time frame for length of stay, the numerous challenges I've encountered overshadow this positive aspect.In conclusion, New Beginnings, despite its noble intentions, has proven to be a challenging environment. The persistent issues with basic amenities, coupled with an unsupportive atmosphere, have made it difficult for me to see this as a true fresh start. I hope improvements can be made to provide a more conducive environment for individuals seeking to rebuild their lives

I can't speak for everybody else about this place. However from my own personal experiences it should have been given a zero rating. I was trying to work it out with Teresa, my VA rep, to just find a place to stay until I could get my finances together. She found this new beginnings of Tampa and worked everything else for me to get in. Unfortunately when I got there it wasn't as easy to find like it should have been. It was also and probably one of the worst areas of Tampa I could have ever been in. Let me put it like this Dracula wouldn't even want to be in this place. There were no signs saying no directions to New Beginnings and when they said that they had Vans to look for the vans I'm thinking why couldn't they come pick me up why couldn't they ask me where I was come pick me up. That just told me everything about New Beginnings. The address was supposedly 1402 E. chilkoot ave. I was right on that street and yet I still couldn't find them. You need to send somebody out from Google to find out where they are. The only thing this guy could do was say where are you where are you. Not once today even send somebody in a van and says hey why don't we find this guy and help him out. They didn't even care that I was having a hard time finding them. Like I said Google you need to send somebody out and do another update on that area because they are not located at 1402 chilkoot Street like the map said they were. Again also if Dracula was looking for a place to put his coffin that place would even scare Dracula.

it's a Homeless shelter you have to pay for, and its bed bug/Lice infested. The people running the program should be ashamed of the living conditions, they even made the local news for it being so disgusting. And I had to Pay alot of money after I moved to get professional bed bug treatment/removal. Worst experience of my life.
