About River Oaks Treatment Center
River Oaks helps clients find sobriety and peace at their quality rehab center on 24 beautifully landscaped acres near Tampa. They offer residential and outpatient treatment, including a dedicated mental health inpatient program and groups for veterans and LGBTQ+ clients struggling with addiction.
Experience a Well-Rounded Recovery
River Oaks uses an integrated approach to treat both addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. They offer individual and group therapy to help clients change negative thought patterns, resolve any hesitation about getting sober, and restore relationships with family members. When necessary, medical detox and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) support withdrawal and stabilization. Group activities and skill-building exercises, expressive arts and music therapy, and 12-Step meetings round out treatment options.
Rest, Eat, & Play Well
River Oaks offers hotel-style accommodations combined with life-changing experiences. Clients stay in semi-private rooms (private rooms are an option) equipped with ensuite bathrooms and full beds with pillowtop mattresses. An in-house chef provides home-cooked meals, and can meet special dietary needs. Clients enjoy indoor and outdoor recreational facilities, outings to wildlife preserves, and evening activities like movies, art, and games. For added comfort, clients’ support animals are welcome.
Prepare for Success Post-Treatment
Just as with the initial rehab treatment plan, River Oaks staff create a specialized aftercare program to meet each client’s specific needs. Prior to discharge, the team will work alongside the client to set up the necessary support to continue to reach sobriety goals, including setting up supportive housing, counseling, family therapy, and group meetings. The treatment team may also recommend continued care in River Oaks’s outpatient programs.

Approaches
