About Juvenile Addiction Receiving Facility (JARF) – Tampa
Juvenile Addiction Receiving Facility (JARF) is a short term acute inpatient treatment center for youth ages 12 to 17 years old. Their Tampa, Florida program is for adolescents who are dealing with a significant substance abuse disorder or dual diagnosis. JARF accepts insurance and Medicaid and can work with families to make financial arrangements if needed.
Treatment at JARF focuses on crisis inpatient stabilization services. The goal is to ensure safe detox and help youth stabilize mentally, physically, and emotionally. Services are available 24/7.
Treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment, followed by medically supervised detox. Teens stay approximately three to five days but longer stays can be arranged if needed. Once your teen is stabilized, referrals are made to move adolescents into the next phase of treatment.
Teens engage in structured groups, individual therapy, family counseling, and parenting workshops.
