ABOUT SUNSPIRE HEALTH HYDE PARK

Sunspire Health is a network of addiction treatment facilities with centers in California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, Oregon, South Carolina, and Texas. The Hyde Park facility is located on a quiet, palm-tree-lined street a block from Hillsborough Bay in Tampa, midway down Florida’s Gulf Coast. The center offers detox plus residential and outpatient treatment for women who are struggling with substance abuse, process disorders, and trauma. The facility offers dual diagnosis treatment.

TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT

Sunspire Health facilities view addiction as a chronic disease, and use evidence-based methods supplemented by holistic therapies to help clients achieve abstinence from drugs and alcohol. Specifically, Hyde Park often uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). Individual, group, and family therapy are used alongside 12-step groups, anger management, relapse prevention counseling, and nutritional guidance.

Holistic options include meditation and mindfulness, yoga, recreation therapy, physical exercise, and community activities.

In addition to a residential program, the center offers a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP). The partial hospitalization program (PHP) involves attendance five to seven days per week, for six to eight hours per day, while the intensive outpatient program (IOP) meets three to five times per week for three to four hours per day.

WHAT ALUMNI SAY

Of the three alumni reviews submitted to Best-rehabs.com to date, two were positive and one was mixed. One alum rated Hyde Park four and five out of five stars in fifteen different metrics, rating it five stars in counseling options, family participation, and treatment of co-occurring disorders.

All three reviewers spoke very highly of the center’s counselors and therapists. Alum K.A.P. wrote: “Supportive staff and lots of information. The therapists are all excellent,” and M.S. added: “They are wonderful and truly invested in their clients and the nutritionist is very knowledgeable and goes the extra mile for eating disorder clients”. However, M.S. in contrast wrote: “This company hires techs without the appropriate credentials to deal with this population.”

On Google, one reviewer left a perfect five-star review of Hyde Park,[1] and on Facebook one reviewer rated it four out of five stars.[2] Google reviewer Cynthia, despite leaving treatment early due to illness, wrote: “My family therapist and my regular therapist were wonderful. The groups, well if you go there you’d better be prepared to work, as they are a challenge. I would recommend this facility to everyone.”

WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY

Of the three reviews by loved ones submitted to Best-rehabs.com to date, one was mostly positive, one mixed, and one negative. The single loved one polled on Hyde Park’s offerings in a variety of treatment metrics was the mixed reviewer, who rated the center four out of five stars for its overall effectiveness, family program, and counseling options but two stars for its holistic offerings and treatment for co-occurring disorders. Despite the positive ratings, they did criticize activities planned for clients, writing: “they allow clients to go to the store to make purchases I have never heard of a facility that allows clients to go out shopping. I feel this is counter intuitive.”

In other reviews, loved one J.K.W. wrote: “Treatment is only effective if the person receiving it is willing and grateful for the chance to start their recovery. NA and AA is part of our lives,” indicating that treatment was successful for their loved one. But loved one F.S. wrote: “DO NOT SEND YOUR DAUGHTER HERE! They do not care for their patients as their website states, if your daughter has a dual diagnosis – they will ship her to a local hospital- and then state they can’t treat her and lie about contacting the hospital!!”

WHAT STAFF SAY

On Indeed, fifteen current and former employees rated Sunspire Health as a whole an average 3.6 out of five stars. In general, employees criticized the stressful environment but felt the work was still rewarding at Sunspire Health. A former behavioral health technician wrote: “Working in the service industry lacks substance for me now. Being able to help clients when they are at such a crucial chapter in their life is rewarding in itself. Unfortunately sometimes you are asked to compromise your values.”

Sunspire Health Hyde Park Reviews

I went to this facility for three months for my alcohol addiction. It wasn’t the worst but it definitely wasn’t the best. Overall, an experience I’ll never forget. The best part was when the techs finally let their guard down and became sympathetic and relatable throughout the process and made us (myself and the other addicts) feel like a family away from home and instead of incarcerated criminals. Overall, I wish they had a different lead therapist. Racine had good intentions but is definitely in the wrong field of work. I distinctly remember us seeing her walking up to the building for work and having a “I hate my job” apathetic demeanor. It was so apparent that none of us felt comfortable enough to be 100% vulnerable and transparent. In my opinion, a therapist should have strong interpersonal intelligence. I think if we had more of an approachable, positive, affable individual, it would have been a much better experience. I gave the “treatment effectiveness” five stars because it was still an eye-opening experience and 100% worth it even though I did not fully recover. I can proudly say today I am one year, four months and twenty five days sober and going strong. At the end of the day, no rehab, no therapist, no magic pill will get you sober. YOU have to want it and make that change for yourself and no one else. We DO recover. God is good
Beware of CHRISTINE DANIEL a nurse at this facility She steals your drug medication and sells it on the streets Check & Count the medication each time she gives it to you Make sure nothing is missing
I would not send my worst enemy to Hyde Park. The techs are great but paid minimum wage to single handily monitor the whole center. The apartments are disgustingly filthy, mice poop, dirty kitchens and bathrooms. Patients are given $7 per day for food and have to cook for themselves after a weekly trip to Aldi. Patients are checked on hourly with a flashlight put to their faces (this is torture at its finest) patients get the privilege of meeting with a therapist one on one for less than 1 hour per week. This facility is falsely claiming on the internet to be a woman’s only and very “warm and fuzzy,” they could care less, it’s all about the almighty dollar. If you have good insurance they imprision you, if not they kick you out! Stay far away from Tampa Hyde Park-it’s dirty, disgusting and the worst possible place you could go to heal and recover!
I Finally Get It! When I made the decision to seek help again. I honestly didn't believe there was any for me. In that moment of desperation, all I knew was I needed to get somewhere safe. My addiction had me believing I wanted to die. Any addict reading this will understand that feeling. I had pretty much given up trying to find an open bed in a detox center When I entered treatment at Sunspire Health Hyde Park on October, 2017 it was to save my life. However, being my third treatment center. I just expected more of the same. Do this, don't do that, chant the serenity prayer, do a 12 step program, and be on your way. What I got was more than this addict could have ever dreamt for; a new perspective on life. After a brief adjustment period of me wanting to control and run every aspect of Sunspire and my treatment program. Yes, me the addict who weeks before was on the edge of death knew what was best for me. Thank God for the amazing operational and clinical staff who maneuvered me through and convinced me to stay on the numerous occasions I wanted to leave because it was too much. I opened up and allowed myself to receive the treatment/services Sunspire offered. The individualized one on one therapy was eye opening and has honestly changed my life. After thirty years of using drugs to cope. I've finally come to realize that my issue isn't with drugs and alcohol; the issue is ME. My therapist individualized a treatment plan to my specific needs and with my input. This allowed me to dig deep into those things that plagued me from childhood into adulthood. The cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, psychodrama, relapse prevention, codependence, spirituality, relationships and family dynamics groups provided the knowledge, skills and tools I need to piece my life back together. Along with that they put great emphasis on NA/AA sponsorship and building a network of people outside of treatment. The outside meetings were a reintroduction to life and people clean. Reaching out and asking for help was something I just didn't do before Sunspire. I have a lot of work still to do. I am open and accepting to do that work. I have never felt so confident and as prepared to "live life on life's terms" as I do today after spending 90 days at Sunspire Health Hyde Park. For the first time in my life, I am looking forward to the future and a life in long term recovery. I finally got it and it's so simple, I never have to use again.
I’m working on making amends as I left the facility AMA. I knew I needed help but I wanted drugs more. I’m in counseling again and I’m starting to realize that I put up a lot of walls all the time to keep myself safe. When I was at Sunspire it was the first time I really felt like people cared about me. Sure there’s insurance and paperwork but people there put up with my crap, and didn’t get mad at me when I was acting a fool. I met with staff before I left and I didn’t want to hear nothin they said to me. I knew they cared though and I really felt they cared it’s like I could see it in their eyes that they were worried about me, but I didn’t care then. I’m learning how I pushed the staff there away and want people to know you will get great help there but you have to accept it. Thanks for allowing me to make amends.
