About Phoenix House – Brandon, Florida

Phoenix House offers customized outpatient and intensive outpatient substance use recovery. They’re located in Brandon, Florida. They serve adolescents and teens affected by substance use and co-occurring disorders. The latter is when someone is simultaneously struggling with both mental health and substance use disorders. This facility leverages their highly experienced and compassionate recovery team to deliver individualized care. They’re CARF accredited. This confirms their dedication to quality care. It’s also financially convenient that they accept Medicaid.

Their recovery approach delivers proven therapeutic practices like cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviews in group and individual sessions. The intensive outpatient program is more structured and involves up to nine weekly group sessions alongside individual support. Day and evening sessions are available for convenience. In contrast, the customized outpatient program involves individual sessions plus up to four group sessions weekly. Both programs offer flexibility since the teens can receive treatment without disrupting their academic schedule.

The program also involves health educational seminars, life training workshops and various active learning opportunities. This is in addition to family and peer recovery support. They strongly emphasize family involvement as evidenced by their family based therapy. The goal is to mend family relationships affected by substance use while focusing on the client’s long term health and wellbeing. Through the support of families, peers and loved ones, as well as quality recovery services, youth are better equipped to address their substance use issues.

The facility also provides comprehensive assessment and evaluation services, drug testing and referral services to inpatient residential care as necessary. They even offer scholarship opportunities to support young people in recovery with their educational pursuits.
