About Peace River Center – 1260 Golfview Avenue – Bartow, Florida

Peace River Center – 1260 Golfview Avenue in Bartow, Florida, is a behavioral health center that provides substance use treatment to adults and adolescents. They are licensed and certified by the State of Florida to provide substance user services. They offer assistance to individuals who are struggling with addictions to illegal drugs, alcohol and prescription medication. Their treatment approach focuses on helping clients develop healthier lifestyle choices and behaviors. In addition to counseling for adults and adolescents, they also provide counseling for clients’ families and significant others. Peace River Center uses evidence based and practical treatments to help their clients heal from substance abuse.

The services available at this facility include individual and family substance counseling, outpatient group therapy and substance abuse education. I like that their group therapy sessions cover many topics that can help in a patient’s recovery. Some of the subjects clients learn about include codependency, trauma and anger management. Additional medical information that may be provided includes meditation and smoking cessation. Through these group sessions, Peace River Center strives to improve a patient’s recovery knowledge and quality of life so they are less likely to use substances.

The center believes an important part of helping clients recover from addiction is treating their mental health symptoms. The mental health professionals develop treatment plans based on a client’s medical and psychiatric conditions, along with their struggles and goals. Therapists may use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients let go of faulty beliefs hindering their recovery and develop healthy coping skills to prevent relapse.
