White Sands Treatment of Hyde Park

Restorative, Home-Like Setting

Located in Tampa’s Hyde Park neighborhood, the center provides a calm environment for adults recovering from substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions. The center is surrounded by tree-lined streets and is within walking distance of Bayshore Boulevard’s walking paths and waterfront views. This setting helps clients reconnect with daily life while focusing on healing. Programs emphasize comfort, stability, and balance, allowing clients to experience recovery in a setting that feels like home.

Step-Down Outpatient Programs with Housing

The center offers two levels of transitional care designed to meet clients where they are in recovery. The day-night treatment program provides a structure similar to inpatient care while allowing clients to live on-site, easing the shift from intensive treatment to greater autonomy. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) with residence is ideal for clients transitioning from day-night care who benefit from continued therapeutic engagement while resuming outside responsibilities. Both programs include individual and group therapy, life-skills development, and relapse prevention planning.

Comfortable Living in a Connected Environment

The campus includes four renovated historic homes. Each home features a full kitchen, private bathrooms, and laundry facilities. Clients prepare their own meals, with catered lunches provided daily. The property’s open layout includes shaded outdoor seating, BBQ grills, and areas for basketball and games. Cell phone and laptop use are permitted outside of therapy hours, allowing clients to maintain family, work, or educational commitments during treatment.

Recreational Group Outings

Staff-led recreational outings to local parks, beaches, and bowling alleys help clients rediscover joy and social connection in sober settings. The Hyde Park location is twenty minutes from WhiteSands’ Plant City inpatient campus, giving clients access to the facility’s fitness center, wellness programs, and boxing instruction. These experiences help reinforce physical health, confidence, and personal growth while helping clients practice coping strategies outside the therapy setting.

Whole-Person Treatment and Continuing Care

Care plans integrate evidence-based therapies with a holistic recovery philosophy. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed counseling are offered to help address underlying issues that sustain addiction. Treatment teams support each client’s goals through personalized recovery planning, including relapse prevention strategies, skill-building exercises, and coordination of continuing care. This community-based approach helps clients restore balance and transition confidently into independent, substance-free living.
