Guardian Recovery – Tampa Addiction Center Announces Expansion
Now Offers Medical Detox & Residential
Guardian Recovery – Tampa Addiction Center, the Tampa area’s premier medical detoxification center, has announced the official opening of its residential treatment program, which will be offered as a follow-up level of care at their state-of-the-art facility. The residential wing, which will provide continuing care to clients who have completed detoxification, opened its doors in February, 2023.
“Guardian Recovery – Tampa Addiction Center has been a stand alone detoxification center since March, 2022,” says Billy LaBare, Director of Operations. “During the continuum of care, our clinical staff works diligently to ensure clients are set up with the most appropriate continuum of care. This additional level of care will allow clients to continue developing the skills necessary to avoid relapse, improving treatment outcomes.”
A Deadly Issue for Tampa Bay Residents
As part of Guardian Recovery Network, Guardian Recovery is increasing access to effective substance use and mental health treatment, combating escalating rates of addiction and overdose in Tampa, FL, and surrounding areas.
In the Tampa Bay area, the overdose rate is 23 out of every 100,000 people — a rate 9 percent higher than the remainder of Florida and 50 percent higher than the national average.
continuum of care, a local leadership commission dedicated to reducing the number of drug overdoses and deaths in the area, reports, “The Tampa Bay Region lost 30 people each and every week to an opioid fatality in the first half of 2020. That’s a 61.62 percent increase when compared to the first six months of 2019.”
As time passes, overdose death rates continue to climb statewide. The 2021 Florida Medical Examiners Interim Report reported continuum of care; a 4 percent increase from the year prior.
“Our new residential program allows clients to gain further stabilization while providing them with continuum of care and insight into their substance use, clearing the path to long-term sobriety,” LaBare says. “Our detoxification center has been imperative for those in the Tampa Bay area who are combating opioid addiction and who require medical stabilization. Now the facility has the ability to provide more support and help the surrounding community heal from the devastation caused by the local opioid epidemic.”
Coverage Options Made Simple
Bringing an Effective Continuum of Care to Florida Residents
Adding a residential level of care will improve treatment outcomes, offering Guardian Recovery clients a higher chance of life-long recovery.
One scientific study published by the National Library of Medicine reports, “Those who transition to continuum of care following detoxification have better outcomes, including reduced drug use, reduced HIV risk behavior, and fewer readmissions to detoxification. Despite the importance of treatment after detoxification, there is often a gap in the continuum of care.”

LaBare states, “Providing clients with a smooth transition into the next phase of their treatment plan often means the difference between continued sobriety and relapse. This additional level of care will allow clients the ability to begin the journey of recovery and really find out what the root cause of their addiction is, while they develop and implement vital continuum of care skills.”
Mike Rocks, Director of Licensing and Compliance with continuum of care, adds, “Transitioning from medical detox into a higher level of care provides an invaluable opportunity for more comprehensive and tailored treatment plans, allowing individuals to make lasting lifestyle changes, gain a deeper understanding of their disorder, and develop the skills necessary to maintain their recovery. We are dedicated to reducing addiction and overdose rates by offering Tampa residents an accessible and effective continuum of care.”
