Detox & Rehab Options in Gibsonton, Florida
Intervention
An intervention is one of the first steps in the recovery process. Loved ones may initiate an intervention to encourage a substance user to seek treatment. Guardian Recovery partners with professional interventionists to make this process as seamless as possible.
Medical Detox
Detoxification is the process of removing psychoactive substances from the body in a safe manner. Detox can be uncomfortable due to the symptoms of withdrawal. Medication may be administered to help decrease some withdrawal symptoms. Guardian Recovery provides medical detoxification if necessary.
Residential & Inpatient Programs
Residential and inpatient programs provide all day care for those in treatment. Individuals reside at residential and inpatient programs 24/7. This allows individuals to receive structured, around-the-clock care without any distractions. Group therapy, family therapy, recreational therapy, individual therapy, psychoeducation, and life skills classes are provided.
Outpatient Programs
Outpatient programs offer care that is less intensive than residential and inpatient programs. There are 3 different types of outpatient programs available.
- Partial Hospitalization (PHP) — Individuals attend partial hospitalization programs approximately 4 to 6 times a week. Activities focused on recovery such as therapy, psychoeducation, and mindfulness are participated in daily. Those attending PHPs often reside in a home outside of the facility.
- Intensive Outpatient (IOP) — Individuals often attend intensive outpatient programs once they are discharged from a higher level of care. IOPs help individuals adjust to their new substance free life, while providing them with coping skills to maintain their sobriety.
- Outpatient (OP) — Standard outpatient is the least intensive program compared to the others. Individuals reside in their private homes and attend their program weekly, biweekly, or monthly. Individual therapy is often the focus in standard outpatient programs.
MAT & Suboxone
Medicated assisted treatment is the use of medication to aid with the negative symptoms associated with withdrawal. MAT is often administered by a physician or medical provider, allowing them to oversee and monitor any side effects. Suboxone is used during MAT for opioid use disorder. Suboxone combines buprenorphine and naloxone to reduce an individual’s dependence on opioids.
Substance Use Disorder Program Costs in Gibsonton, FL
Privately funded, state funded, and insurance based treatment facilities offer different advantages, depending on your needs.
Privately Funded
Privately funded programs allow individuals to utilize their private insurance plans. Privately funded programs offer more treatment options and a more individualized care plan compared to public and state funded programs.
Public & State-Funded

Free & Medicaid or Medicare
Medicaid, Medicare, and free treatment programs offer affordable mental health and substance use care for individuals living with different circumstances. Medicaid is specifically for low-income individuals, while Medicare is for those 65 years old or older. Though affordable, both Medicaid and Medicare programs often have limited waiting lists and large client to practitioner ratio sizes.
