TLC Recovery Center of South FL LLC

They offer inpatient residential, inpatient hospital, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Miami has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They provide detox for 5 substances: opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine and methamphetamines. Whether a bed is free this week is a question for the call, and Miami has 8 other centers.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Miami.

They treat both. Depression and anxiety alongside a substance are common rather than unusual, and one place handling the two together beats two handling one each. Miami has 8 other centers if this one cannot.

Miami has 47 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

Inpatient is the higher level of care, and higher is not automatically better for everyone. A clinician settles this on risk, history and circumstances, and the assessment is a single appointment. Ask whether a center can carry out an assessment first rather than selling you a program.

Nothing goes out without an authorization you sign, and that authorization can be narrow. The protection reaches further than general medical privacy does, which is why a center will not take a message for you either. Decide who you want kept informed before the day rather than during it.

Identification, insurance card, medications in their original labeled containers, and a week of ordinary clothes. Most residential programs search bags on arrival and hold anything they do not allow until you leave. Ask what they hold at the door and when you get it back.
