About Phoenix House Florida

Phoenix House is a CARF-accredited provider focused on dual-diagnosis care, operating multiple programs across the Tampa Bay and Ocala regions. It offers residential and outpatient services for adults and teens dealing with substance use disorders alongside co-occurring mental health challenges. In Brandon, the Derek Jeter Center delivers individualized outpatient programming for adolescents ages 13 to 18.

At the Derek Jeter Center, care is strength-based and holistic, addressing addiction as well as the mental health issues that often accompany it, all within a structured, supportive setting. A team of experienced, compassionate clinicians conducts evaluations, provides individual and group counseling, supports treatment for co-occurring disorders, coordinates case management, and assists with discharge planning. Clients receive guidance tailored to their needs throughout each stage of treatment.

For adults, the Brandon campus provides a secure, encouraging environment for recovery. Services begin with medical and psychological assessments designed to pinpoint each person’s specific needs and form the foundation of a comprehensive treatment plan. Plans are customized and case management includes ongoing check-ins to measure progress and refine goals as needed. Throughout treatment, clients work toward recovery objectives with support from licensed therapists, counselors, and trained medical staff committed to quality care in a caring setting.

The center’s dual-diagnosis program is highly structured and combines holistic, evidence-based approaches. Residential programming may include individual and group therapy as well as recreational therapy to help clients develop rewarding, substance-free activities. Treatment commonly incorporates approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused therapy. Group sessions may be organized by gender to create space for discussing sensitive topics, and experiential options can include therapist-led creative activities such as art, dance, or music therapy to strengthen social and emotional well-being.

Beyond clinical therapies, clients also receive life skills education to support reintegration, build stability, and maintain sobriety. Phoenix House additionally provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for people experiencing physical dependence, using medications that can help reduce and manage withdrawal symptoms, including options such as methadone or Suboxone.

The Derek Jeter Center is involved in the community, advocating for access to addiction and mental health services and recovery resources. After completing treatment, clients can remain connected through a strong alumni network that offers continued support, encouragement, and opportunities to share experiences with others in recovery.

The Derek Jeter Center accepts most major credit cards and insurance plans.
