Tranquil Shores

About Tranquil Shores – St. Petersburg, Florida

Tranquil Shores is a Joint-Commission-accredited adult drug rehab facility in the small town of Madeira Beach near Tampa, Florida. Nestled on an island in the Gulf of Mexico surrounded by sandy beaches and tranquil waters, it offers 24 beds for inpatient care. They also provide intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and standard outpatient programs (OP) for drug and alcohol recovery and dual diagnosis treatment.

There are special programs here for executives, musicians and artists, healthcare professionals, athletes and veterans. After completing a 30, 60 or 90-day recovery program, you’ll receive ongoing support (aftercare) to help you stay well. Individual and group counseling are cornerstones of care at Tranquil Shores which maintains a three-to-one counselor-to-client ratio. They don’t advertise a sliding scale or financing options but work with various insurance providers.

The center takes a holistic approach to treatment. They don’t solely focus on a person’s behavior, but also the emotions, thoughts, past events and current circumstances that contribute to substance abuse. They use the Integrated Recovery Model (IRM) meaning they incorporate multiple therapies and techniques to help people overcome different challenges, like addiction and trauma simultaneously.

Here, you’ll have access to cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), accelerated resolution therapy (ART), didactic group therapy, experiential therapy, motivational interviewing (MI) and family therapy. If you feel more comfortable opening up around people of the same gender, you can take part in their gender-specific recovery programs. Interestingly, Tranquil Shores also offers complementary therapies like yoga, meditation, acupuncture and drum therapy that some people may find beneficial.

Several clients and their family members say they prefer this center to others they’ve attended. Although they appreciate the facility’s aesthetics and comfort, they rave most about the staff who they say are positive, caring and supportive. Clients also say the center individualizes treatment rather than giving general “textbook” advice. Additionally, clients say having their family involved in their treatment has been immensely beneficial for them and their loved ones.
