Phoenix House Florida Provides Services Above and Beyond What State Funding Covers to Help its Residents Overcome Addiction

Phoenix House Florida stands out as best value by providing significant value-added services beyond the standard of care.

TAMPA, Fla., April 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Phoenix House Florida has been helping countless individuals through its individualized drug and alcohol programs for over 26 years. While the majority of Phoenix House's budget comes from state government, there is a full range of services that go beyond state funding to enhance the care provided to residents.

At the Citra Residential Facility, Phoenix House has committed to extending psychiatric services beyond the funded number of co-occurring beds, demonstrating its dedication to providing enhanced mental health support and ensuring a more holistic and personalized approach to care. Medical staffing includes registered nurses and/or licensed practical nurses to address basic medical needs and ensure the well-being of residents.

An emphasis on recreational and therapeutic activities, facilitated by a dedicated activity coordinator, promotes mental and physical well-being, contributing to a more enriching and fulfilling experience for residents.

The company-wide Greenspace Measurement-Based Care (MBC) Platform operates on the principle of consistent Patient-Reported Outcome Measures tracking, ensuring detailed assessments of client progress.

"What sets our MBC implementation apart is the sophisticated incorporation of this data into the clinical workflow, empowering clinicians to conduct data-driven analyses and engage in evidence-based discussions for informed treatment decisions," said Maria Alvarez, Phoenix House Florida President & CEO. "This technical sophistication aligns with national initiatives promoting MBC in community behavioral health treatment, affirming Phoenix House's commitment to cutting-edge and effective mental healthcare practices."

Other unique elements include specialty dining, all-new bedroom sets, and other thoughtful touches that create a home-like environment, providing a supportive backdrop for participants during their treatment. These value-added services underscore Phoenix House Florida's commitment to delivering an unparalleled level of service and ensuring the overall health and happiness of those under its care.

There is also additional value-added thanks to generous donations by community partners including clothing, personal care products, self-help books, musical instruments, art supplies, bikes, and gym equipment.

Beyond the Citra Residential facility, Phoenix House Florida generates additional value with its companywide Measure. Transform. Maximize (MTM) Consultants. This investment enhances patient services and positions the organization for transitioning to a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) model. The CCBHC framework is designed to expand access to high-quality, integrated care, ensuring a more holistic approach to behavioral health and primary care services. This is Phase 1 of 2. Phase 2 will commence with additional funding and provide the resources necessary to meet all the requirements to attain certification.
