About Operation PAR Inc
This rehabilitation center provides residential treatment for adults dealing with substance use disorders related to alcohol, drugs, and opioids, offering both short-term and long-term programs. Clinicians work to support clients who have mental health needs alongside addiction, and the center accepts referrals from families, courts, and legal professionals. The center offers medication-assisted treatment using methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone. Along with this, residents receive individual and group therapy, relapse prevention services, and training focused on everyday life skills. Treatment teams use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and 12-Step facilitation. Medical evaluations, psychosocial assessments, and anger management sessions are also part of the care plan. On the Largo campus, residents follow organized routines that include gender-specific groups, onsite education, vocational programming, and creative arts therapy. Staff perform drug screening, help plan for discharge, and coordinate aftercare so each person can strengthen recovery skills and move smoothly to the next phase of treatment.
