A New Kind of Drug and Alchohol Addiction Treatment

Be aware … many rehab centers use drugs to treat drug addiction. We Don’t.

Drug and alcohol treatment at Bayshore Retreat encompasses your physical well-being as well as your mental and spiritual. Health is our first concern. We believe that a healthy body, mind and spirit are the best tools one can have to prevent relapse. We don’t buy into the concept of using other drugs to combat drug addiction. In many cases this only causes a different problem and/or addiction.

Bayshore Retreat offers as new and different approach to alcohol and substance abuse treatment. Other programs and facilities may promise “individualized treatment”. We actually deliver.

When you first arrive

When you first arrive, our Medical Director will gather your medical history, perform a physical exam, and order tests from a local lab. The results of these will let you and us know where you are physically and what we, as a team, can do to make improvements.

Healing the body

Through light cardio workouts, “sweat time” in a dry sauna, massages from licensed therapists, and weekly yoga instruction, your body will start to heal itself. Three healthy gourmet meals daily prepared by an on site chef will give you the fuel to accomplish this.

Healing the mind

As the body heals, so should the mind. You will meet with your Counselor after you arrive to complete a Psychosocial Assessment. This allows the Counselor to learn who you are mentally and emotionally. It also makes you think about the same things. Upon completion, a treatment plan for Counseling and Life Skills Training will be developed with your input based on the treatment options listed below:

  • Relapse Prevention
  • “BUDDING” – Building Up to Drinking and Drugging
  • Anger Management
  • Employability Skills
  • Effective Communication Skills
  • Relationships
  • Honesty/Openness
  • Assertiveness
  • Accountability
  • Recovery-Planning – Why its necessary
  • Compassionate Self-Care
  • Co-dependence
  • “PAWS” – Post Acute Withdrawal Syndrome
  • Honesty with one’s self (self-inventory)
  • Discipline
  • Effective Decision-Making
  • Physically Healthy Lifestyle Choices
  • Intimacy
  • Fiscal Responsibility
  • Personal Hygiene and Upkeep of Possessions
  • Hypnotherapy

This is where Bayshore Retreat differs from every other drug and alcohol treatment center out there. We feel that by you having involvement in the “planning”, you will have a greater commitment in the “doing.” For example, you won’t be expected to attend sessions on topics that have absolutely no consequence in your life. We recognize that every person is an individual and should be respected as such.

Healing the spirit

We’ve discussed the body and the mind. What about the spirit? We’ve learned that as you improve one aspect of yourself, the other two also improve. We’re not affiliated with any particular religion. We allow you to find or improve your own spirituality. Each client will be allowed to attend the religious service of his/her choosing, if so desired. If you want to sit on the dock and meditate, that’s your right also. And if you are still searching, we will be more than to happy to explore with you.

Bayshore Retreat is here to help you regain your life from drugs and alcohol with dignity and respect.

Our local number is 850-687-6831. You will speak with a staff member – not a salesman.  Your questions will be answered honestly and confidentially.
