About Guardian Recovery - Tampa Addiction Center
Guardian Recovery - Tampa Addiction Center provides detox and short-term residential treatment in a comfortable, newly updated environment. Their on-site nurses, psychiatrist, and counselors work together to make detox as comfortable as possible. During detox, clients use medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for drug and alcohol withdrawal during detox. Following detox, short-term residential care introduces evidence-based therapies and practices to stabilize clients and prepare them for ongoing care. Individual, group, and family therapy are paired with holistic practices for whole-person healing. For self-employed clients, an executive program allows for phone and laptop access in certain cases during business hours.
Guardian Recovery - Tampa Addiction Center begins treatment with an addiction assessment and psychiatric evaluation. They strive to understand the past and present of each client to customize their treatment to their needs. A psychiatric evaluation helps Guardian Recovery treat any co-occurring mental health conditions, and underlying trauma or post-traumatic stress (PTSD). For professionals and business owners, their executive program allows tech access for clients who run their own business.
Clients have the option to attend weekly 1:1 therapy sessions and daily group sessions. Guardian Recovery - Tampa Addiction Center also offers 12-Step meetings, family therapy, and psychoeducational workshops centered around recovery. During residential care, therapy continues alongside 12-step meetings, family therapy, and psychoeducational workshops centered around recovery.
Guardian Recovery provides intervention services, short-term residential treatment, and connections to further care, like a residential rehab. Guardian Recovery's newly updated home offers a clean and comfortable home-style retreat for recovery, with an on-site kitchen, lounge areas, and the option of private rooms.
