Agency for Community Treatment Services – 56th Street

Popular for its serene beaches and bustling arts and culture scene, Tampa, Florida is home to Agency for Community Treatment Services – 56th Street. Adults and adolescents can receive comprehensive substance use and mental health disorder care at this CARF accredited outpatient clinic.

Since 1978 they’ve provided compassionate care with expert backed interventions and specialized programs. You can access outpatient detox and intensive outpatient programs while living at home and maintaining daily commitments. They provide customized services, including group and individual therapy, medication assisted treatment (MAT), recreational therapy, medication management, and more. These approaches can help you get to the root of addiction and gain essential coping skills.

One feature that caught my eye is they’ll always provide care despite your financial circumstances. They accept Aetna, Betterhealth, Humana, Amerigroup, BlueCross BlueShield, Medicaid and more. If you’re uninsured, they provide a sliding scale fee based on federal poverty guidelines. With these options finances won’t deter you from getting the help you need.

I also think it’s great that they have recovery support. This approach offers daily group and individual counseling and psychoeducational sessions. You’ll benefit from compassionate care from a certified peer support specialist who has experienced recovery firsthand. If you’re in the early stages of substance misuse or have experienced a relapse then this program could be particularly beneficial.

Lastly, The Olivia Project really stood out to me. Youth and families can participate in this free preventative program. They offer individual family support including basic health screening, assessments and referrals, drug testing and continuing support. You and your child can learn more about overcoming addiction, bullying, grief, aggression and more to strengthen relationships.
