About Rational Steps – Clearwater
Rational Steps was located in Clearwater, Florida, which means nice hot weather! It was a detox facility and in a house rather than a clinical setting, which was cool. They had staff who were specialized in the treatment of substance abuse and drug addiction. Unfortunately, the center is now closed.
Like many rehab places, Rational Steps had cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and motivational interviewing (MI). They had a lot of really cool services that a lot of places didn’t have too! They have things like music and art therapy, and outdoor rec activities.
Their staff also provided continuing care, which included individual counselling sessions, peer led meetings and workshops on stress management and any challenges you faced in recovery.
They had a strong belief that therapy should be available to everyone and that money shouldn’t stop someone from getting the care they need.
If you were underinsured or didn’t have insurance, they had a sliding scale for treatment price based on someone’s income. They provided as much flexibility as possible when working with individuals. You could pay out-of-pocket if you wanted to. They also accepted Medicare and Medicaid through the government. You should always call your insurance provider to see if it was covered.
Even though they’re closed, there are other centers nearby that can assist you.
