Outpatient rehab in Tampa Bay can be an ideal treatment option for people whose lives have been disrupted by substance abuse and mental health disorders but still want to live from home and attend to their daily lives. Our outpatient programming includes a minimum of three hours per week along with array of research-supported services.

What is Outpatient Rehab in Tampa?

Outpatient rehab is a level of treatment for addiction that does not have a mandatory residential component. 

At the inpatient and residential levels, people who receive addiction treatment are required to live on-site during their time in treatment. Those who take part in outpatient rehab in Tampa Bay can return to their homes or to alternative supported residences when treatment is not in session.

During outpatient rehab sessions, participants can engage in a variety of therapeutic activities to prepare them for successful recovery.

Every person who participates in outpatient rehab at Tampa Bay Recovery Center has a unique experience with us. This is due to our unwavering commitment to personalized care and customized support. But every person who chooses our center can expect the following:

How Long Does Outpatient Rehab in Tampa Last?

How long does outpatient rehab last? The amount of time that a person remains in outpatient rehab depends on their progress, continued needs, and treatment goals.

We work with every person to help them identify what they want to get out of treatment, then we develop the plan that will empower them to achieve their objectives. Length of stay is one of the many elements of our treatment plans that can be customized according to each person’s specific needs.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Outpatient Rehab in Tampa

At Tampa Bay Recovery Center, all admissions decisions are made on an individual basis. We review each prospective patient’s history and needs to ensure we are the right place for them. In general, though, people who meet the following criteria may be good candidates for outpatient rehab in Tampa:

  • Individuals who have completed a higher level of care, but who can benefit from structured step-down support to help them make a successful transition out of treatment.
  • Men and women who need more extensive services than they can get through traditional weekly or monthly therapy sessions, but whose needs are not severe enough to require round-the-clock supervision.
  • Our outpatient rehab serves people who are entering treatment for the first time as well as those who have previously received professional care for addiction. We want to meet each patient where they are so we can help them get to where they need to be.

Our Approach

Depending on your specific needs, your care at our outpatient rehab in Tampa may include one or more of the following elements:

  • Red Light Therapy (RLT): Red light therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses near-infrared light to ease symptoms of seasonal affective disorder and certain additional physical and mental health concerns.
  • Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR): Developed in the 1980s, EMDR therapy has proved to be a highly effective means of treating people who have posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and certain other mental health concerns.
  • Brainspotting: Similar in some regards to EMDR, brainspotting uses eye positioning to help people process untreated trauma. Since its development in the early 2000s, brainspotting has emerged as a promising means of care for those who continue to be negatively impacted by traumatic memories.
  • Holistic Drug Rehab: The term holistic therapy refers to a treatment approach that addresses the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of addiction and mental illness. Our holistic services are designed to help people achieve true healing in mind, body, and spirit.
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): Medication-assisted treatment employs prescription medication and psychotherapy to help people end their substance abuse and build a foundation for long-term recovery.

Before you receive any of these services, one of our treatment professionals will explain the procedures and benefits and answer any questions you may have.
