Tides Edge Recovery Services

They provide inpatient hospital, inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Jacksonville Beach is set up for.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Jacksonville Beach.

They treat older adults, along with young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64, which is a wider range than most places listed near Jacksonville Beach cover.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Jacksonville Beach offers both.

They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Jacksonville Beach often still has to be in person.

Nothing else serves Jacksonville Beach inside 14 miles, which is worth knowing before you rule this one out rather than against it.

Ask both places the same questions and the differences come out quickly. Accreditation by a recognized body is a floor rather than a recommendation, and the absence of it is worth asking about. Ask what kind of person this program is not right for. A good answer exists.

Outpatient care usually starts within days. A residential bed can be immediate or weeks out. Widening the search past your own county usually shortens the wait, because availability is uneven between neighboring areas. Say clearly how urgent it is, including any medical risk, because that changes the queue.
