Guest House wasn't my first treatment center, Yet it was the best i have ever been to. The focus on working through Trauma and understanding where your emotions are coming from and how to have a corrective experiences about it are not the only things that i have learned from there. My Therapist individuals and Primary groups not only helped me get closer to finding myself, it also helped me get close to others in my groups who are going or have gone through the same things. Core helped me understand my attachment disorders, Bobs groups gave me knowledge on how to identify things with in Self. And Also, Because were are all so together and hang with each other and make friendships, i personally while i was there was able to put together three events. A Studio 54 themes Birthday Party, Glow In The Dark Capture the Flag, and a Burning Man fire light show and 2 Talent Shows All of these events gave us the opportunity to enjoy the moment, have fun, get dirty, and HAVE FUN!! i felt that for me it was important to also be able to let go and have fun during the hardest work I've ever done on myself in my entire life. I want to thank the medical staff who always helped me remember which meds i took daily. I want to thank the whole clinical team for setting up the right path for me to move forward on my journey. I want to thank my Therapist Shelly. I swear if it wasn't for Working with Shelly i wouldn't be the Strong Independent Woman i am today. When ever there was a holiday it was celebrated and we had field days. We even had a Passover Sador this year and we were able to do an awesome April Fools Joke. The picture is below with the golf cart. The animals on grounds not only helped me calm down, and also they taught me many lessons that i needed to learn including patients and to just breath. My life has been changed because i came to the Guest House. I now Currently have 7 months Sober and In Sober Living staying in my sobriety and therapy and on my meds because i learned that i am Worth being taken care of by myself and i can be Independent and still ask for support. Ty Guest House for letting come and be able to change my life around cant wait to see u guys at Alumni Week!!!!SincerelyRiley Meredith

If you or your loved one has or experiences addiction, family dysfunction, anger issues, depression, sexual abuse, add/ adhd, emotional issues, PTSD/ C-PTSD and/or any type of trauma- I Highly recommend this place. This place has truly been a life changing experience providing me with healing, understanding, compassion, and learning how to love myself. The staff here are incredible how they will help you heal, help you Love yourself, help you heal you and your family dynamics. I went to the guest house in April to August of 2023. Been sober over a year now. I am thankful for the tools that I have learned here. I had Mark as a therapist, and was also my "primary group." He taught me how to have compassion for myself, how to help my anger issues, how to become self-regulated, helped me with my guilt that I have been carrying since I was 16, helped me heal my pain and hurt, sadness because of how my own father betrayed my family and me. Bob, another therapist, also helped me with childhood sexual trauma I had experienced. Vanessa helped my flash backs and other traumas that have impacted my life and helped them be less intense and not so impactfull, with her style and her emdr/"ART" therapy ("ART" is not the art you did in school). I am thankful that I got this opportunity to go here. I highly recommend it - I want to say thank you to judy crane and John west who are the founders. Also many heart felt thanks to the therapists Mark, Bob, victory, and Vanessa and others, thanks to the doctors and nurses and lastly the staff "The OG's" that are also loving caring, understanding. Thanks to you all.I hope this helps you make decisions in choosing treatment centers and helping yourself or love one.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs encompass multiple levels of care to facilitate clients' progress through their recovery journey. Clients who are stepping down from inpatient treatment may require intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment, which involves more frequent and substantive therapeutic interventions than does standard outpatient care. Outpatient centers typically provide extensive addiction counseling, including individual, group, and family therapy. Medication assisted treatment programs (MAT) and recovery-focused life skills training are also common in outpatient care.

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.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) involve frequent and robust therapeutic sessions for clients requiring high-level care. Clients may engage in a combination of medication assisted treatment (MAT), addiction counseling, recovery skills training, and holistic therapies for a minimum of nine and a maximum of 20 hours per week. Intensive outpatient rehab is designed primarily for persons in early recovery, those exiting detox or inpatient care, and those at an elevated relapse risk.

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.

Intervention Services

If a person with a substance use disorder continually denies their problem or refuses to get treatment, a drug intervention in Florida may be necessary. Intervention services can help mediate the intervention by providing an addiction expert. This professional can de-escalate situations and facilitate a healthier discussion between the individual and their loved ones. Specialists can also help families handle issues they don't know how to navigate on their own.

Medically Assisted Detox

The first step of the recovery process involves the removal of all drugs and alcohol from your system while under 24/7 medical supervision. Known as a medically assisted detox, you are closely monitored by medical staff who can provide medications, if necessary, to help alleviate any potential withdrawal symptoms. Medical detox is usually followed by a period of inpatient addiction treatment.

Treatments

When you have a mental health disorder and an addiction, it's known as a co-occurring disorder. Since treating both conditions at the same time is critical, you'll want to seek out a dual diagnosis treatment center. These specialized rehabs offer the care needed to overcome both disorders, which drastically increases your chances of success in long-term recovery. Types of therapies provided tend to include individual and group counseling, relapse prevention education, coping skills training, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

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.

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.

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 in Florida consists of individual therapy and group instruction. This structured program is a form of psychotherapy that incorporates the development of skills for managing emotions and relationships.

Group therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for people in Florida who are struggling with drug addiction. There you can openly discuss the challenges and progress you're making without fear of judgment from your peers who experience many of the same things you are.

Individual therapy often includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This is a structured approach to identifying and changing negative thought patterns. During therapy you learn how what you think drives your actions so you can develop healthier coping strategies to manage addiction triggers and reduce drug use.

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.

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 are the core skills you need for daily success. They can include self care, stress management, daily routines, and emotion control. Rehab treatment includes the development of these skills so you have the tools you need for long term recovery.

Recreational therapy helps you recover from addiction by giving you structured activities that promote your physical health and mental well being. These activities could range from sports and fitness to creative arts and provide a constructive outlet for your emotions and stress.

Loved my time spent at the guest house . Wish I could have stayed the 3. Month instead of just one . It was such an amazing experience my therapist was amazing too.

Thank you for the kind words, Chad! So inspiring!

Britt Sharenow

If youre looking for a sign. This is it. The Guest House changes lives, saves lives, improves lives and helps you in every way possible. Not many places will teach you about trauma, how to deal with it, and how to process though it. This place does. We feel we are alone as people, no matter the age, that people cant relate to us, or our experiences, but the Guest House changes that perspective. You are not alone. There are people who get it. There are people who are trying their hardest to heal and just need help. The Guest House can help you. The staff make you feel seen and heard. They are not like any other people i've ever met. They genuinely care and want whats best for you. The food is amazing. There is not a single meal where you will go hungry. The medical professionals know their stuff. The grounds are beautiful. The amenities are great. Everyday you are improving yourself and others. Just lean into it. The most supportive people in the world are surrounding you. Every aspect of this place helps you heal. The campfires, the community, the many, many modalities of therapy and groups. You have down time, and time to work. Whether you are the one processing or witnessing, you are getting something from every moment you are there. You dont need to be an artist to find art therapy helpful. You dont need to know how to have sober fun to start. Hobbies, passions, trust, find that all here. There is no place in the world I have ever felt safer and more myself. To see people change and transform before your eyes is truly inspirational. I went to guest house for a total of 180 days. Sharing my story was scary, I didnt know if I could get better. I didnt think they could help me. I was wrong. For the first time in my life my treatment resistant depression and anxiety wasn't crippling me anymore. Belonging to a community and making lifelong friends changed a lot of things. I needed to get off of a medication that I was on for 15 years. I had tried other places and started to panic. There was no place that could help me safely. I was terrified, but I trust TGH with my life. I am off of the medication and have a chance to start a family because of them. I thought because I had been in therapy since the 2nd grade I knew what to do. No. Because of the Guest House I am so much more attuned to my emotions and feelings. Identifying unhealthy coping mechanisms and finding something to replace it with. If you are down, let this place lift you up. When your inner critic is loud, the support you receive is louder. When you want to give up, this place will help you see how truly strong you are and how to use that strength to push forward. Being sick and tired is exhausting. Let them help you carry the weight. What you have been though is so much. Have people see that and validate it. I couldnt function. I didnt want to live. Guest House changed my life. Guest House gave me a shot to live.

Such a powerful story, thank you for sharing, Britt!

Hands-down, this place saved my life. I was able to process trauma and addiction and truly come out a better healthier person.

Happy to have been a part of such an inspirational journey. Thank you, Yianni!

Ava Pawlowski

I spent the last four months at The Guest House in Ocala, Florida and it completely saved my life. I have been to several other treatments for drug addiction and had never dealt with my trauma & PTSD or sex/love addiction. The other duel diagnosis rehabs I went to will never compare to this beautiful place of healing and serenity. The Guest House allowed me to become vulnerable, authentic and connect to my higher power again. We were given assignments that allowed me to heal in ways I never thought I could writing letters to things like my drug addiction, inner critic, perpetrator, family members, relapse, what healthy love looks like to me, drawing out all my traumas and so much more. The best therapists in the world work here and their dedication to clients individually and the community as a whole was something I have never seen anywhere else. Claudia and Najia were my therapists and they 100% saved my life. I opened up to them about things none of my past therapists have ever known because I felt safe in their presence. They helped me view my life through a different lens and shift my thoughts to become healthier. They made me feel heard and loved and I am so grateful for them, as well as my primary group therapists Kristen and Victoria! Things like Lisa s psycho drama group, Stacey s core energetic group, one on ones with Alicia and her empowered embodiment group, one on ones with Kristi and her incredible art therapy groups, primary group, sound baths, Eco therapy, yoga & yoga nidra, massages with Sonia, acupunture & cupping with Abdullah, off campus activities (like putting on a wetsuit and swimming with manatees for the first time), and community talent shows & pickleball all impacted me in such a deep & beautiful way. I was finally able to connect to my feelings, body, and tap into self love again. The staff were brilliant, especially Zach, Jen, and Lisa (OG s), Brooke (incredible psych nurse practitioner), Emily (dietitian), Constance (nursing), Dr. Davies, Mona (kitchen), Mark (therapist) and everyone I ve previously mentioned all made me feel beyond supported. I found the in-house CODA, Emotions Anonymous, ACOA, SLAA, NA, and AA super helpful, giving me the courage to share in meetings again. Most of all, the other guests in the community helped me beyond words. The people I was with for four months are some of the most supportive people I have ever met, some of the best friends I have ever made. Receiving feedback in groups on only how my peers could relate to my work was so cool. This being my first co-ed treatment center allowed me to finally connect with men I feel safe with. Some of my friends from TGH have long term sobriety and have given me so much hope that I will stay sober and continue on my healing journey. My friends and I are all looking forward for the alumni reunions so thank you to The Guest House for my life back, I love you forever.

The love is mutual, and we're so happy to hear about your continued success, Ava!

Elizabeth Hakes

It s hard to put into words what my time at the Guest House meant to me. I spent 3.5 months there and left an entirely different person. I had the opportunity to explore my complex PTSD in a safe environment with staff who were nothing but encouraging and supportive. The community witnessed my undoing and helped put me back together. I ve been in therapy more than half my life, and have been sober for 6 years, but being in a safe, loving environment allowed me to do the work I could have never done in the real world . I remain in awe of what the Guest House does for their clients, and will be forever grateful for my time there. I am especially grateful to Stacy, Bob, Kajal, Alicia, Jamie, Mel, Pat, Brooke the OGs, nurses and kitchen staff for taking such good care of me. If you re on the fence about making the decision to go, I would encourage you to take a chance on choosing yourself and seeing what this wonderful place has to offer.

We're in awe of all your accomplishments, Elizabeth! Thank you for sharing!

Kelly Hanrahan

There is not one day that will go by where I am not beyond grateful and thankful for my time spent healing at The Guest House. All of the employees from the therapists, doctors, nurses, kitchen staff to the OG s .every person here made sure my recovery process was tailored to my needs and did everything possible to accommodate me during my stay. The property is simply beautiful and therapeutic, with walking trails, horses, and swans and a lovely pond, even a pickleball court, and a state of the art fitness facility, weekly massages, even acupuncture if so desired. The intensive therapy I received helped my relationship with not only myself but strengthened my family relationships as well. The connections I made amongst the other guests in the community were crucial to my recovery and continued well-being, and The Guest House helped to foster those relationships that I believe will be life-long. I arrived at The Guest House a hopeless and broken soul, but after doing the work and digging deep and spending the time to recover, I left feeling alive and full of hope!

We're grateful to hear you're thriving, Kelly! Thank you for sharing!

Mary Kate LeMoult

This place truly saved my life. End of story. I don t even need to say more than that but I will, because this place is worth that, and more.Doing the most painful work was ONLY achievable in this setting, with these people. From the grounds, to the beautiful rooms, yoga, breathwork, incredible food and kitchen crew, and just staff all around. They really care, and anyone with an ounce of awareness sees it. The therapists are amazing people, who really dedicate their lives to helping the people there. I got better when I finally let go, and surrendered to the process.In regards to the one star review below, I urge people to remember that some are sicker than others. Not only does that review not even make sense, but it is entirely false. I am not sure what is abusive about getting massages every week, eating delicious meals, 52 acres of peaceful land, and being provided physical, spiritual, and mental wellness.Thank you, Guest House. Earth angel Kristen, Judy, Michelle, Najia, Marla, and Luann, OGs Jen and Lisa, Dr Davies and Brooke, and all the nurses especially Constance, Rose, & Sheldon. Forever in debt to you all

Thank you, Mary Kate, for letting us be a part of such an amazing journey!

I am a mental health professional, and have referred to The Guest House since 2016. I believe it is so effective because they treat the whole person. Most my clients have mental health, substance use and trauma related concerns. Their program touches on all the needs, for successful outcomes. The staff is also highly skilled and personable. I would not hesitate, and have referred personal family and friends.

Thank you for your selfless work & dedication to helping so many people, Benjamin!

Lee Pepper

I recently toured The Guest House in Ocala (Silver Springs) and their outpatient center in Ocala. I was thrilled to meet the founders, interact with the staff at both locations and I participated in a BreathWork class. If you are not familiar with The Guest House it was founded by renowned trauma specialist and author, Judy Crane and well known recovery advocate John West in 2017. Read Judy's book, The Trauma Heart. The location offers a high degree of privacy. The original family home was converted and then numerous buildings added over the years for housing patients and medical staff. The original barn was converted to great gym. The dining hall is in the central part of the campus. I think my favorite part was the sun room where we did the breath work class. Talk to your therapist or doctor to get a clinical opinion of the services they offer and then go for a tour.

Thank you so much, Lee. The work you do to help treatment providers is immeasurable!
