About The Blackberry Center
The Blackberry Center is a Joint Commission accredited treatment facility located in Saint Cloud, Florida. They offer treatment to veterans, men and women who are struggling with dual diagnosis and substance abuse disorders. The levels of care available here include detox, inpatient treatment, and a partial hospitalization program (PHP). Medication assisted treatment (MAT), discharge planning, housing placement, recreational therapy, faith based treatment, and counseling are some of the many services available. For covering the costs of treatment, they accept private payment and they work with a variety of different insurances including Medicare, Medicaid, and VA choice program insurance.
Their MAT program is most appropriate and beneficial to individuals struggling with the transition from chemical dependency. This medication helps with cravings and lessens the intensity of withdrawals. To better assist you, during detox you will work hand in hand with counselors and their medical staff to identify the best approach to starting this form of medication management.
While you are in residential treatment they will incorporate recreational therapy. This includes sports, drama, games, arts and crafts. These activities can help strengthen both communication and social skills. Doing these therapies with peers can help manage stress, regulate emotions, raise self awareness, and encourage mindfulness. These therapies can also motivate you to live a healthier lifestyle as you pick up hobbies or try something different. They encourage you to remain open-minded on your journey of healing.
Discharge and aftercare planning will be done prior to your completing treatment. This creates an opportunity for housing placement and/or continuing treatment. You will work with a counselor and case manager to discuss options and what you feel most comfortable pursuing. They will assist with getting you connected to community and local resources.
