Admissions Process Tampa FL

Plan for Recovery

Taking the first step isn’t easy. That’s why we do everything we can to educate you and your family about your treatment options and what to expect when you arrive.

Patient Assessment

Prior to admissions, we complete an initial assessment to recommend the right course of treatment. Our assessment team includes clinically qualified professionals, specially trained to evaluate for eating disorders, for drug or alcohol rehab or even treatment for co-occurring conditions. After the initial assessment, we recommend levels of care, offer referrals to community resources and treatment alternatives, as well as provide assistance with payment options.

What to Expect

We want you to feel at home right away, so you can start focusing on your recovery. Our facilities are clean, comfortable and equipped with modern amenities. Most importantly, qualified, compassionate team members are here to help you every step of the way, 24/7.

Your daily schedule will vary based on your personalized treatment plan. Most plans include structured activities designed to help you discover and embrace healthy new habits. These may include time for individual, group, family, art therapy, meditation, personal training and more.
