Addiction Medicine

You don’t have to travel far or fight alone; hope and healing are available right here in your community. Call 863.687.1222 to learn more.

Given that 21 million Americans have a substance use disorder, yet only about 10% receive treatment, our mission is to close that gap in Polk County by offering accessible, effective recovery programs. And, our program treats it with the same urgency and respect as any other health issue.

Services Designed to Help You Break Free from Addiction

Lakeland Regional Health’s addiction medicine services are here to support those struggling with substance use disorders. Whether it’s alcohol dependence, prescription medication misuse, or illicit drug addiction, we understand that addiction is a complex medical condition, not a personal failure.

We provide a range of services including:

Medically supervised detoxification for drugs and alcohol (in our hospital setting for safety)
Medication-assisted treatment (such as Suboxone or Vivitrol for opioid or alcohol dependence)
One-on-one addiction-focused counseling, and coordinated care with community support organizations (12-step programs, recovery coaches, and more)
Continuity of care with a full-service Medical Center for your recovery, if needed

Because many people with substance use disorders also face mental health challenges, our team is adept at dual diagnosis treatment, managing conditions like depression, PTSD, or anxiety alongside addiction, so that all aspects of wellness are tended to.

You are not alone; hope and healing are here. Call 863.687.1222 to learn more.

Dedicated Expertise

Our Addiction Medicine physicians and counselors work together to create personalized treatment plans that address both the physical aspects of addiction and the underlying emotional or psychiatric components.

They can prescribe evidence-based medications to reduce cravings or withdrawal symptoms and treat any medical complications of addiction (for example, liver issues from alcohol or IV drug-related infections) right on campus. This comprehensive medical oversight can be lifesaving and is a distinct advantage of getting care at a nationally recognized hospital that’s close to home.

Why Choose Lakeland Regional Health for Addiction Treatment?

We fully believe recovery is possible for everyone, and we have seen even the most challenging cases turn their lives around with the right help. If you or a loved one is battling addiction, Lakeland Regional Health provides a lifeline in an integrated care model.

Full-Service Care: Unlike many stand-alone rehab centers, Lakeland Regional Health offers addiction treatment within a full-service medical center. This means if you require detox, we have hospital beds and specialists to monitor withdrawal safely (including ICU care if needed for severe cases).

Integrated Behavioral Health Approach: Recovery isn’t just about quitting a substance; it’s about learning new ways to live. Our Addiction Medicine program integrates counseling and behavioral therapies at every step.

You’ll work with licensed therapists on…

Identifying triggers
Restructuring harmful thought patterns
Building coping skills for stress that don’t involve substances

By combining medication management with robust counseling, our approach aligns with what research shows is most effective for sustained recovery.

Continuum of Care and Aftercare: We’re committed to walking the full recovery journey with you. Patients often start with detoxification if physically dependent, then progress to rehab programming, which could be residential or intensive outpatient (we coordinate referrals to trusted partner facilities if residential or substance use IOP care is needed).

Compassionate, Nonjudgmental Care: We know that people with addictions often face stigma. At Lakeland Regional Health, we treat you with dignity and empathy. Whether you come to us voluntarily or through a referral, you’ll find a welcoming environment focused on one thing, helping you get better. We celebrate every milestone, whether it’s one week sober or one year. We help you navigate setbacks with encouragement, not judgment.

Local Resource with Community Partnerships: As Polk County’s leading healthcare provider, we partner with local resources to bolster your recovery network. We work closely with organizations like Peace River Center, AA/NA groups, and faith-based programs. When you choose Lakeland Regional Health, you tap into a whole community network aiming to support your sobriety. We leverage nationally proven treatment methods and deliver them in a way that builds upon community support systems.

Our addiction medicine team will meet you where you are, physically and emotionally, and guide you to where you want to be, living a healthier life. It’s care that’s just for you, grounded in expertise, and delivered with heartfelt compassion. Call 863.687.1222 to learn more.
