About Harm Reduction Center
Our goal as a provider is to empower and support your recovery
Harm Reduction Center is a private healthcare facility that provides highly individualized service to our clients. We are state licensed through DCF and AHCA, which allows us to treat those with substance use disorders, mental health disorders, and co-occurring disorders.
Our Philosophy
We recognize recovery looks different for everyone and we will stand by you as you or your loved one walks this journey. The Harm Reduction Center’s core values are empowerment, integrity, and perseverance. Many of the staff at HARC have personal experience with substance use, mental health, and recovery from them both. This experience allows us to connect and empathize with each client on a deep and meaningful level. With this connection, we can affect actual change in the lives of those we serve. We will empower you to choose a path for yourself and, with collaboration from loved ones and our treatment team, support that choice.
Our Treatment
Harm Reduction Center utilizes proven effective treatment modalities such as MAT (Medication Assisted Treatment), EMDR & Trauma therapies, individual & group therapeutic interventions, and cooperative medical involvement. Harm Reduction Center has set forth in a cooperative effort with local and state legislature to increase the availability of such care to serve the growing need for substance abuse and mental health treatment.
Our MAT (Medication Assisted Treatment) track involves the use of anti-craving medication such as Suboxone, Sublocade, Naloxone, Vivitrol, Campral, Antabuse, etc. These medications mitigate symptoms of cravings and withdrawal in those struggling with alcohol and/or opioid abuse. These methods, coupled with group and individual therapies, are the keystone of our program. We have seen unrivaled success in individuals suffering from substance use and/or mental health disorders.
Harm Reduction Center focuses on “re-integration” for our clients. Our clients have continued access to Harm Reduction Center’s career development and alumni services after treatment. This has proven to be extremely beneficial for our clients and something that we take great pride in. Having continued support for what comes after the completion of initial treatment, with the guidance of HARC’s clinical and medical staff, is a crucial part of long-term recovery.
