I'll never be able to quit.” Because it IS possible to treat the disease of addiction and we can help you. Not everyone that walks through the doors of a rehabilitation facility is completely convinced they want to quit using drugs. They may think, “How can I give up something that was such a big part of my life?” Despite the family, career, and health devastation it causes, this disease remains attractive and alluring to those caught in its grasps. This ambivalent state of mind is where many of us are when arriving for treatment. At Laguna Treatment Hospital, our experienced therapists use Motivational Interviewing (MI) sessions to help move you towards a healthy decision to change. Everyone who walks through our door arrives with their own unique story of how they arrived at the place where illegal drugs, alcohol, or prescription drugs took over their lives. Not everyone identifies the same life events, drug of choice, co-occurring mental health issues, trauma, or other experiences that many have contributed to their addiction. Since the root of the addiction is different, then the treatment must be customized for each person. We will help you by using an individualized treatment plan customized to fully address your addiction and mental health needs. River Oaks is a premier addiction treatment facility located in beautiful Tampa, Florida. Our treatment facility provides all levels of care (Detox, RT, PHP, and IOP) to adult men and women struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. If you're a First Responder (Firefighter, police officer, EMT, etc.), we can provide specialized addiction programming for you and your family. Our licensed therapists are trained in treating addiction and co-occurring mental health issues specific to law enforcement - PTSD, trauma-related mental health issues, and and job-specific stressors to address the unique needs of people working in these stressful and crisis environments.
