About WAR Network (We Are Recovery)
UF Health Shands Psychiatric Hospital, located in Gainesville, Florida, provides alcohol and drug rehab services, dual diagnosis treatment, and mental health services to children, adolescents, and adults in an age-specific format. Detoxification and inpatient services are available.
The detoxification program is a medically monitored program that allows for medical intervention and medication interventions to help reduce the risk of withdrawal and provide a higher level of safety for individuals while they detox.
The inpatient program is a short-term treatment program designed to stabilize individuals so they can be referred to their next phase of treatment. Children and adolescents will be in one section, with adults in another section. The 81-bed facility allows for many individuals to receive crisis stabilization. Psychiatric care, medication management, group therapy, and case management services are available. Once an individual has completed this program, they may choose to continue to an outpatient level of care that allows them ongoing treatment. Some individuals choose to move into a residential or longer-term inpatient treatment program.
UF Health Shands Psychiatric Hospital accepts most insurance plans, including Amerigroup, Magellan, HCSC, Humana, Beacon, and more. Out-of-network benefits may vary, so it’s important to verify coverage.

Levels of Care
Partial 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 around 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.
Intensive 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.
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.
