UF Health Gainesville

UF Health runs the Florida Recovery Center at 4001 SW 13th Street in Gainesville, on wooded grounds a short drive from the main hospital. Here the focus is substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions, and psychiatrists are part of the clinical team alongside licensed behavioral health counselors. Care combines evidence-based practice with individual approaches, all inside a Twelve Step framework. The Joint Commission accredits the center, which reports a typical program length of about 30 days.

A newly constructed 9,000-square-foot building adds space for treating patients and running groups. Those enrolled in outpatient care may live in housing on the grounds, sharing a room with one to three others, and a supervised sober living choice is available right there. Grounds feature gardens, paths for walking, a swimming pool, and basketball and volleyball courts. A person with a substance use disorder, alcohol use included, can contact the center directly to ask whether its services suit their circumstances.

Programs at Florida Recovery Center

Services span the full continuum, starting with medical detox and inpatient care and extending to partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs. Every person gets a plan built for them that treats substance use and any co-occurring condition together. An established Twelve Step model guides the program.

Options for care include one-on-one counseling with a clinical psychologist, dialectical behavior therapy alongside cognitive behavioral therapy and family therapy. The center additionally offers life skills, motivational interviewing, recreation relapse prevention counseling along with therapy and twelve step facilitation. People in outpatient care can live in on-campus housing, which provides structure while they keep their independence.
