Twelve Oaks Recovery understands that the disease of addiction has many complex physical, behavioral, psychological, social and spiritual components. A successful recovery from alcohol and drug addiction involves major change, and the residential rehab is dedicated to helping clients go though that transformation with support and compassionate care. In a safe, nurturing and non-judgmental environment, clients develop the tools to restore their lives and become healthier, happier, more productive and substance-free.
ABOUT TWELVE OAKS RECOVERY
Twelve Oaks Recovery, located in Navarre, Fla., offers residential care, an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and partial hospitalization program (PHP) to adults struggling with substance abuse. The facility is also one of the 362 (50.6 percent) facilities with programming tracks for individuals with co-occurring mental health disorders. This location is also amongst the 73 (10.2 percent) non-hospital treatment centers in the state with detoxification services available on-site.
Situated on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico and the Santa Rosa Sound, the high-end rehab center has been treating substance abuse for more than 30 years and offers a range of specialized program tracks, including programs for veterans, individuals struggling with chronic pain, as well as a Christian-focused program track.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
According to Twelve Oaks Recovery’s website, once clients are admitted to the residential treatment center, they are assigned to a primary counselor who creates an individualized treatment plan. Residential treatment typically lasts 28 days, but the exact length of stay is contingent on the client’s needs and progress.
Treatment combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with participation in 12-step groups, process groups, educational lectures, holistic activities such as yoga, and relapse-prevention and continuing-care planning. Twelve Oaks Recovery encourages families to participate in the treatment process.
Specialized program tracks, such as the Christian-based track, incorporate areas of focus and approaches that best suit the needs and preferences of the client. For instance, the Christian track incorporates biblical teachings and spiritual counseling into programming, while the veterans track may address post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD).
Typically lasting 30 days, PHP involves six hours of daily programming and follows similar scheduling as residential care. Clients participate in individual, group, and family counseling, experiential therapies, and 12-step participation. Medication management is also available to those struggling with co-occurring disorders.
IOP usually lasts eight weeks with meetings held three days per week. The IOP includes individualized treatment planning, group therapy, and awareness classes. All clients who graduate from a program at Twelve Oaks has access to lifelong continuing care.
