ABOUT US Take charge of your life — and your future — with personalized rehab at The Core Centers. We’re a small, intimate, Florida-based facility providing long-lasting healing that helps you rebuild your life. Enjoy a warm community and comfortable accommodations — plus trips, swimming, and sports. In less than 1 hour, we’ll verify that your stay is covered by insurance. Within 24 hours, you could be on a plane to our beautiful campus.. You’re guaranteed a bed if you call today. This is not just about drugs or alcohol. We treat the underlying anxiety, depression, and trauma that make you more susceptible to substance abuse. For most people, addiction is just a symptom of latent mental health challenges: anxiety, depression, trauma, personality disorders, or others. These challenges are often overlooked— or ignored—in traditional rehabilitation. At CORE, we know that balanced mental health is the ONLY way to achieve real recovery…and a beautiful life. Our dual-diagnosis approach empowers you to make changes that last. We’re certified by the AHCA to treat major mental health illness, in addition to substance abuse. We start with a thorough medical evaluation to identify your mental health challenges, then create a plan of action. Our doctors might prescribe medications to stabilize your condition, or make pointed recommendations for therapies that’ll work best for you. The goal? Treat the root issues of your substance abuse, so you can free yourself for good. You can change your life. We can help. If you’re willing to give it your best shot, we’re going to make it happen. This is about your recovery, your future — and our support. We’re committed to authentic, honest rehabilitation that gives you the best possible chance for long-term recovery.

What makes us different Through 100+ combined years of experience, we’ve developed a core set of beliefs — and they’re reflected in every part of our program. One size does NOT fit all. We recommend the 12-Step programs to many of our residents, but our approach is holistic. Our variety of treatment programs — enhanced by mind-body healing activities like yoga, massage, and outdoor recreation — allows our residents to find the mix that works for them. Substance abuse is a symptom. When you peel off the layers of drug and alcohol addiction, there’s a festering wound below. Substance abuse is the byproduct of trauma, anxiety, and other mental health challenges. By getting to the core of the issues, we can uproot the source of addiction and promote long-lasting healing. Small is beautiful. At CORE, you matter. Our alumni describe a place where “Everybody knew who I was, and everybody cared.” We average only 17 residents per month, with a staff to resident ratio of 2:1 — and our alumni have pinned their success to this small, personalized feel. Your progress matters. No flying under the radar here. You can expect every member of our staff to know your name and circumstances — and call you out if you need help getting back on track. Because that’s how real healing happens.
Integrity above all. Unlike dozens of rehab pop-ups dotting the Floridian landscape, CORE exists for one reason only: to help people (really) heal. Our staff will never make false promises or use manipulative techniques to get residents to register. We see integrity as a longer — but more enduring — path to success. Motivation is at the core of healing. This is YOUR life — and if you’re invested, we can help you turn it around. Residents who are deeply motivated to heal and start fresh show remarkably high rates of long-term recovery. Recovery must be practical. You’ve recovered — now what? Recovery is where the magic begins, but it cannot be sustained unless you’ve properly transitioned into real life. At CORE, life skills and job management are an integral part of our program. Because if you’re going to head back into society — and live the life you always wanted — you need practical tools and support.

HEALTHY PROGRESS F.D.A. to expand medication-assisted therapy for opioid addicts
I N AN EFFORT to encourage new treatments for opioid addiction, the Food and Drug Administration plans to begin permitting pharmaceutical companies to sell medications that help temper cravings, even if they don’t fully stop addiction. The change is part of a wider effort to expand access to so-called medication-assisted treatment, or MAT. The agency will issue draft guidelines in the next few weeks. A senior agency official provided details of the proposal to The New York Times.
The new approach was signaled Saturday by the health and human services secretary, Alex M. Azar II, in remarks to the National Governors Association. Mr. Azar said the agency intended “to correct a misconception that patients must achieve total abstinence in order for MAT to be considered effective.” While the Trump administration has generally supported medication-assisted treatment, Mr. Azar’s predecessor, Tom Price, was not completely on board with it. Mr. Price caused an uproar among treatment experts when he dismissed some medications that reduce cravings through synthetic opioids last spring as substituting one opioid for another. He subsequently walked back those comments, saying officials should be open to a broad range of treatment options. Mr. Azar, who took office late last month, said he would work to reduce the stigma associated with addiction and addiction therapy, and would not treat it as a moral failing. The opioid epidemic is considered the most unrelenting drug crisis in United States history. In 2016, roughly 64,000 people were killed by drug overdoses, including from prescription opioid painkillers and heroin. Noting federal data showing that only one-third of specialty substance abuse treatment programs offer medication-assisted treatment, Mr. Azar said, “We want to raise that number — in fact, it will be nigh impossible to turn the tide on this epidemic without doing so.” Mr. Azar’s comments echo those of the F.D.A. chief, Dr. Scott Gottlieb, who has made battling opioid abuse a priority for his agency. Dr. Gottlieb has moved to reduce opioid prescriptions by doctors and dentists and to promote more medication- assisted treatment, defined as drugs used to stabilize brain chemistry, reduce or block the euphoric effects of opioids, relieve physiological cravings, and normalize body functions. The F.D.A. has approved three drugs for opioid treatment — buprenorphine (often known by the brand name Suboxone), methadone and naltrexone (known by the brand name Vivitrol) — and says they are safe and effective combined with counseling and other support. But the agency said it would soon publish two guidances, recommendations for drugmakers, on the issue.
