Agency for Community Treatment Services (ACTS) - Juvenile Addiction Receiving Facility

Youth aged 12 to 17 who are battling serious drug misuse disorders or multiple diagnoses may get short-term, acute inpatient treatment at the Juvenile Addiction Receiving Facility (JARF), which is situated in Tampa, Florida. This particular program is intended to help teenagers in times of crisis by providing a secure setting in which they may regain emotional, mental, and physical stability. JARF provides financial solutions to families in need while operating around the clock and accepting Medicaid and insurance. 

At JARF, treatment starts with a thorough evaluation to ascertain each patient's requirements. This is followed by a medically supervised detox to guarantee patient safety throughout withdrawal. Teens often remain three to five days, while extended stays may be possible depending on specific need. After adolescents reach stability, the program helps them make referrals that will help them go forward in their rehabilitation. 

Teens participating in a variety of therapeutic activities, such as individual therapy, group sessions, family counseling, and parenting courses, are given an organized setting by JARF. In addition, the program provides vital services including medical examinations, life skills training, health education, and urine drug testing. Continuous support is guaranteed with 24-hour access to nursing personnel, and the institution makes suggestions and referrals for any extra services that may be required before, during, and after treatment. 

Serving the Florida community since 1978, ACTS (Agency for Community Treatment Services) is an organization that includes the Juvenile Addiction Receiving Facility. ACTS is committed to provide personalized behavioral health treatments for mental health and drug misuse. It does this by fusing compassion with best practices and addressing addiction via therapy, supporting services, acute care and stabilization, prevention, and treatment. The group assists those with co-occurring drug misuse and mental illness as well as those working in the fields of child protection, criminal justice, and economic self-sufficiency. 

With operations in many counties—Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, and Broward—ACTS offers mental health treatment to more than 8,000 people a year. Licensed experts dedicated to providing the best possible treatment make up their workforce, which includes trained addiction specialists, clinical social workers, mental health counselors, and nurses.
