About Gulf Coast Recovery Center
Gulf Coast Recovery Center provides a complete range of treatment services, centered on achieving recovery that lasts for a lifetime. Many members of the team have firsthand experience in recovery, which helps them offer a compassionate, understanding approach. Care is delivered through a structured and accountable program paired with individualized support to address both primary mental health needs and co-occurring substance use.
The center offers multiple outpatient options, including day treatment, day and evening intensive outpatient programs (IOP), lower level outpatient care, and virtual sessions. Services commonly include individual counseling, medication management, holistic approaches, therapeutic groups, and practical skill-building. Gulf Coast also provides Brainspotting therapy, an advanced form of psychotherapy that blends Somatic Experiencing (SE) and EMDR. This method uses specific eye movement patterns to help clients identify and work through trauma, supporting healing on a deeper neurological level.
Located just a short distance from St. Pete Beach along Tampa Bay, Gulf Coast Recovery Center offers a calm setting where clients can focus fully on their well-being and comfort. The center’s main goal is to create a strong sense of safety and support, helping clients achieve the best possible outcomes for long-term recovery.
