About Harrell Family Center for Behavioral Wellness
You’ll find the Harrell Family Center for Behavioral Wellness in Lakeland, Florida, about 35 miles outside of Tampa. A branch of the Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center, this outpatient clinic provides detox and standard outpatient programs for adults and teens. You can access flexible treatment options here, including telehealth appointments.
They accept many private insurance plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare and Aetna. You can also use BayCare Select, TRICARE, Wellmed and more to get the support you need.
Comprehensive Addiction Services
What stands out most to me is their comprehensive addiction services. As a full service medical center, they offer access to medical detox as well as medication assisted treatment (MAT).
With MAT, you’re prescribed specialized medications such as Suboxone or Vivitrol to alleviate withdrawal symptoms and cravings. They complement these medications with behavioral therapies, peer support, and more to help you get to the root of addiction. Residential and intensive outpatient treatment referrals are also available.
Pet Therapy
Another great feature that caught my eye was that they offer pet therapy. Pet therapy can keep you accountable while helping you rebuild trust. You’ll benefit from emotional support and stress relief through animal connection. This can help ease anxiety, boost your mood, and improve interpersonal relationships.
Peer Support
I also think their emphasis on peer support is beneficial. They provide a safe space to share your story and connect with peers on similar paths. You'll benefit from learning from others’ experiences to gain strength in recovery and stay on the right path.
