ABOUT BOARDPREP RECOVERY CENTER
Located in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Tampa, Fla., BoardPrep Recovery Center offers a full continuum of treatment services for adults struggling with substance abuse and co-occurring psychiatric disorders. Services include both inpatient and outpatient options. According to the facility’s website, BoardPrep will also arrange for hospitalization if a client requires medical attention during the detoxification period.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
According to BoardPrep Recovery Center’s website, clients undergo a comprehensive assessment while family members participate in their own orientation. From there, an initial treatment plan is drafted, and clients who opt for inpatient care are paired with a same-gender “buddy” who is responsible for providing information and support during the first few days of treatment.
Inpatient treatment is typically 30, 60, or 90 days in duration. During that time, clients participate in a program that is guided by 12-step principles and includes a minimum of 21 clinical service hours per week. BoardPrep uses a variety of clinical modalities including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and transcranial magnetic stimulation. Clients engage in individual, group, and family therapy, as well as “sober fun” activities on a weekly basis.
Outpatient care is similar. Depending upon the needs of the client, treatment occurs over the course of three to four days per week in either a group or one-on-one setting. Clients are encouraged to attend daily 12-step meetings, and in-home family therapy sessions are also available.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
BoardPrep maintains a 1:5 staff-to-client ratio. BoardPrep Recovery Center’s website notes the treatment team includes two consulting psychiatrists, plus licensed social workers, licensed mental health counselors, master’s level therapists, and multiple recovery support specialists.
ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES
BoardPrep Recovery Center’s website indicates Inpatient clients reside in modest, gender-exclusive housing that can accommodate up to 15 people. Most bedrooms are shared, but some private rooms are available upon request. Clients are responsible for their own food shopping and meal preparation. Residential facilities are within close proximity to gyms, grocery stores, and local 12-step meetings.
