At The Wave of North Florida, our mission is to provide comprehensive, compassionate, and effective addiction treatment services for individuals struggling with substance use disorders. Located in Lake City, Florida, our facility offers a structured and supportive environment where individuals can begin their journey toward recovery. We understand that addiction is a complex disease that affects the mind, body, and spirit, which is why our treatment approach is holistic, evidence-based, and tailored to meet the unique needs of each person who walks through our doors.
Our programs are designed to address not only the physical aspects of addiction but also the psychological and emotional challenges that accompany it. By combining medical detox, therapeutic interventions, and aftercare planning, we help individuals build the foundation for long-term sobriety. Whether you are seeking treatment for yourself or a loved one, The Wave of North Florida provides the resources, support, and expertise necessary to achieve lasting recovery.
Medical Detox: The First Step Toward Healing
The journey to recovery often begins with medical detox, a crucial process that helps individuals safely withdraw from substances under the supervision of medical professionals. Detoxing from drugs or alcohol can be a physically and emotionally challenging experience, and attempting to do so without medical assistance can be dangerous.
At The Wave of North Florida, our medical detox program provides 24/7 monitoring and support to ensure that withdrawal symptoms are managed safely and comfortably. We utilize evidence-based protocols to help minimize discomfort and reduce the risk of complications. Depending on the substance involved, withdrawal symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe, life-threatening conditions. Our team is trained to address these symptoms with medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when necessary, ensuring that each individual receives the care they need to begin their recovery journey with stability and safety.
Residential Addiction Treatment: A Safe Space for Recovery
Following detox, many individuals transition into our residential addiction treatment program, which provides a structured, immersive environment for healing. In this program, individuals live on-site and participate in a full schedule of therapy, education, and wellness activities. The benefit of residential treatment is that it removes individuals from the triggers and stressors of their daily lives, allowing them to fully focus on their recovery.
Our residential treatment program combines a variety of evidence-based approaches, including:
- Individual Therapy: One-on-one counseling sessions with a licensed therapist to explore the underlying causes of addiction, identify triggers, and develop coping strategies.
- Group Therapy: Peer support plays a crucial role in the recovery process. Our group therapy sessions allow individuals to connect with others who share similar experiences, providing encouragement, accountability, and shared wisdom.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): A widely recognized therapeutic approach that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to substance use.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): A method that teaches emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help individuals manage emotions without turning to substances.
- Trauma-Informed Care: Many individuals struggling with addiction have experienced trauma in their past. Our trauma-informed approach ensures that therapy is sensitive to past experiences, helping individuals process and heal from trauma in a safe and supportive way.
- Holistic Therapy: Recovery involves the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. We incorporate mindfulness practices, yoga, meditation, and other holistic approaches to promote overall well-being.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Structured Care with Flexibility
For individuals who have completed residential treatment or those who require a highly structured treatment plan but do not need 24/7 supervision, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers a balanced approach. PHP provides intensive therapy and structured treatment while allowing individuals to return home or to a sober living environment at the end of the day.
Our PHP includes:
- Daily therapy sessions focusing on relapse prevention, emotional regulation, and life skills development.
- Medical support for those who may still require medication-assisted treatment.
- Family involvement to help rebuild relationships and provide education on how to support a loved one in recovery.
This level of care is ideal for individuals who still need substantial support but are ready to start integrating back into daily life.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Transitioning to Independence
Recovery is an ongoing process, and many individuals require continued support even after completing residential or PHP treatment. Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) allows individuals to receive treatment while gradually returning to work, school, or family responsibilities.
IOP provides:
- Flexible scheduling that accommodates work and family commitments.
- Group and individual therapy to reinforce skills learned in previous treatment phases.
- Continued medical oversight for those utilizing medication-assisted treatment.
- Accountability and support to help individuals navigate early sobriety.
Many of our clients transition from PHP to IOP as they progress in their recovery, allowing for a step-down approach that provides stability and continued guidance.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT): Support for Long-Term Recovery
For individuals struggling with opioid or alcohol addiction, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) can be an invaluable tool in achieving and maintaining sobriety. MAT combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapy to support recovery.
Common medications used in MAT include:
- Buprenorphine (Suboxone): Helps reduce opioid cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
- Methadone: Often used for long-term opioid dependency management.
- Naltrexone (Vivitrol): Blocks the effects of opioids and alcohol, reducing the likelihood of relapse.
At The Wave of North Florida, we carefully assess each individual to determine if MAT is an appropriate part of their treatment plan. When used correctly and under medical supervision, MAT can significantly improve recovery outcomes.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Addressing Mental Health and Addiction Together
Many individuals who struggle with addiction also face co-occurring mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or bipolar disorder. Our dual diagnosis program integrates addiction treatment with mental health care to ensure that both conditions are addressed simultaneously.
Treatment for co-occurring disorders includes:
- Psychiatric evaluation and medication management
- Integrated therapy that addresses both substance use and mental health concerns
- Holistic approaches to support emotional well-being
By treating both addiction and mental health issues together, we help individuals achieve more sustainable recovery and improved overall well-being.
Aftercare and Alumni Support: Staying Connected to Recovery
Recovery doesn’t end when a treatment program is completed. Maintaining sobriety requires ongoing support, and at The Wave of North Florida, we are committed to helping our alumni stay engaged in their recovery journey.
Our aftercare and alumni programs include:
- Regular check-ins and continued counseling
- Sober events and activities
- Peer support groups and mentorship programs
- Access to community resources and employment assistance
We believe that a strong support network is key to long-term success, and our alumni community provides ongoing encouragement and guidance for those committed to a sober lifestyle.
