Our Drug Treatment Programs

Whether you are exploring outpatient options or considering inpatient drug treatment in Florida, our programs can help you reclaim your life.

Medical Detox

Detoxing prioritizes your well-being and prepares you for the therapeutic work ahead. A medically supervised detox:

  • Prioritizes physical safety: For certain substances, such as benzodiazepines (“benzos”), abruptly stopping use can lead to significant and potentially life-threatening complications. Medically supervised withdrawal helps safely manage these risks.
  • Provides compassionate symptom management: Withdrawal from other substances, such as prescription opioids, can cause significant muscle pain and other distressing symptoms. Medically supported detoxing safely manages discomfort and pain.
  • Builds a stable foundation for recovery: Medically supervised detoxing provides physical and emotional stability to begin healing. With a strong foundation, you can engage more fully and effectively in the therapeutic process.

In Florida, Tranquil Shores works toward long-term recovery through customized treatments and evidence-based therapies that address the root causes of substance use.

Experience an immersive, structured therapeutic environment away from daily triggers and stressors. We provide personalized treatment and attention through 24-hour care and our 3-to-1 client-to-counselor ratio.

Our partial hospitalization program is ideal for clients who have a stable home environment but require therapeutic structure during the day. You can participate in daily therapy sessions and activities at our beachside location, then return home afterward.

Our flexible intensive outpatient program helps you balance recovery and personal responsibilities. With a schedule of 1-15 hours of therapy per week, the program provides accountability and expert support while you live at home and use recovery skills in daily life.

We specialize in 90-day treatment programs, addressing deep-rooted patterns and underlying trauma, and teaching coping skills for addiction recovery. Longer-duration continuing care with active engagement may improve recovery outcomes.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders

Clients may face both substance misuse and mental health challenges. Tranquil Shores’ integrated dual diagnosis programs treat both substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders to support your recovery and overall well-being.

Integrated Mental Health and Addiction Treatment

A dual diagnosis means that a client is managing both a substance use disorder and a mental health disorder simultaneously. Our approach involves a comprehensive psychiatric assessment for an accurate diagnosis and developing a unified treatment plan.

Conditions We Treat

Our medical team treats a broad range of co-occurring mental health issues alongside addiction, including:

  • PTSD
  • Depression and anxiety disorders
  • Borderline personality disorder
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Childhood trauma and other trauma-related concerns

Our team also treats other substance use disorders and complex cases involving multiple substances.

Evidence-Based Treatment Approach

Tranquil Shores offers proven addiction treatments and therapies for your recovery.

Integrated Recovery Model

Our holistic Integrated Recovery Model addresses the mental, emotional, physical, social and spiritual aspects of the substance use disorder. This approach identifies and treats root causes to support long-term recovery and sobriety.

Individual Therapy

Clients engage in two or more individual therapy sessions per week, using cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed therapy, motivational interviewing and other evidence-based modalities. We customize sessions based on your needs.

Group Therapy

Access a supportive community by attending over 25 hours of weekly group therapy. These themed sessions rotate through a 13-week clinical curriculum, providing a diverse therapeutic experience.

Family Therapy

We nurture healing for your family through weekly education groups and monthly private family therapy sessions to address related issues. By encouraging families to stay engaged, we help strengthen relationships and support systems for your recovery.

Alternative Healing Therapies

To support whole-person healing, we offer a range of alternative therapies, including yoga, acupuncture and sound healing. These practices help you reconnect your mind and body while developing healthy coping strategies for life after treatment.

Understanding Drug Withdrawal

The drug withdrawal process varies based on the substance, dose and duration of use.

Opioid Withdrawal

The opioid withdrawal timeline depends on the type of opioid used, with symptoms from short-acting opioids beginning sooner than from long-acting opioids. Expected symptoms include:

  • Early symptoms: Withdrawal symptoms that mimic a common cold or flu, including muscle aches, anxiety, runny nose and sweating, often begin within the first 8-36 hours after last use.
  • Peak symptoms: Symptoms typically intensify by three days after last use, potentially involving abdominal cramping, nausea and high blood pressure.

Meth, cocaine and other stimulant withdrawal symptoms may include significant fatigue, insomnia, and psychomotor agitation, which can involve increased physical restlessness. The withdrawal process typically occurs in phases:

  • Acute phase: Symptoms often peak within the first few days and typically improve within four to seven days.
  • Protracted phase: After the acute phase, some symptoms, such as mood changes, low energy and cravings, can continue for weeks or months.

Withdrawal from benzodiazepines can be long and complex, with the process often occurring in phases:

  • Acute withdrawal: Symptoms may include tremors, anxiety and insomnia and typically begin three to seven days after last use. Severe withdrawal can also lead to delirium, hallucinations and life-threatening seizures.
  • Protracted withdrawal: The recovery process often continues for an extended duration. Withdrawal symptoms may persist for months or years after last use.

Medical detox is a critical first step for safely managing substance withdrawal. Since the type and severity of withdrawal symptoms can vary greatly, a medically supervised environment may be necessary. A supervised medical detox approach can offer clinical oversight to help you navigate withdrawal safely before joining an addiction treatment program.

Can I Have a Private Room?

You can request a private room during the intake call, but it is based on current availability.

Our clients buy their own groceries during the program to learn or strengthen real-world skills, allowing them to manage their dietary needs. Share your specific needs with us during the intake process.

Resources for Families

Tranquil Shores provides dedicated support to both clients and their families.

Seeking Help for a Loved One

Approaching a loved one about their substance use requires compassion, careful planning and support. If you are unsure how to begin, consider these steps:

  • Speak from a place of love and concern: Use “I” statements, such as “I am worried when…”, to express how their substance use personally affects you.
  • Choose the right time and place: Find a calm, private moment when your loved one is sober and a location where you are unlikely to be interrupted.
  • Offer a clear solution: Present treatment as a hopeful and concrete next step, and communicate that you are ready to help them make the call.

Under Florida’s Marchman Act, qualified family members can petition a court for assessment and treatment when a loved one is unable to recognize their need for care or is unwilling to receive care. We can help you navigate this process. Explore our Marchman Act FAQs page to learn how the law can support your family.

Through our family programs, resources and recovery services, you can learn how to build and maintain healthy boundaries, communicate effectively and stop patterns of enabling behavior. We also offer activities to keep families involved in their loved one’s recovery, including weekly discussion groups and monthly private therapy sessions.

Life is so much better after recovery. I'm in better spirits. I can conquer almost anything on my own. And I couldn't be happier.

Recovery is about the beginning of a new life and not about dwelling on what you might have done in the past. The counseling, along with the spiritual basis for the counseling is second to none!
