I, for one, have never had any issues with PAR but I'm not in the Detox part but I have been there for over 6 years. Its pretty cheap replacing one addiction with a "legal" one ad long as you have money or insurance

I have a loved one who came to this location for detox and decided to continue with their inpatient program. The staff here are incredibly professional people who truly care about their patients, especially if you show them that you are serious about your recovery. They take excellent care of you and will go above and beyond to help you stay in recovery. With any addiction, at the end of the day it's really up to the addict to choose to stay clean, but this program and these people are a tremendous help .I truly believe that they are the reason we have gotten such great results so far in our journey to sobriety. I can't thank them enough for giving me back my Love. These people save lives!

Place was really nice. Staff was super nice, accommodating, and actually cared. Food and bedrooms were great. Only reason they didn't get 5 stars is they really need to work on their organization. It was sometimes very difficult to get answers to simple questions or somethings would take too long to accomplish for such a short stay. I would highly recommend opting for the extra 2 weeks of residential out-patient since you get a lot more out of it and it gives you time to look for something more long term(if that is your plan bring it up day 1 to get your name on waiting lists) and also get the Vivitrol shot(curbs opiate and alcohol cravings GREATLY, once a month shot, generally free if you don't have insurance, first shot always free). This place definitely helped me. Better and safer than detoxing at home because they will give you meds to help you through it.

I went to PAR Detox and they brought me back so to speak of. Given with what they have, they do the best that they can. I was referred to PAR Maps, in which I chose methadone therapy. It stopped my using immediately and now I have my life back. I have learned that if you do not have sobriety, and have placed SOBRIETY AS THE FIRST AND FOREMOST THING IN YOUR LIFE, you have nothing else. It is critical to be sober before anything else can happen in good ways

Questions & Answers

I mean it wouldve helped if some of the male staff didnt look at me full of lust. That was soo inappropriate and belittling! Where can i go where they are professional and dont make you feel uncomfortable????

Amanda Nunesa | Aug 30, 2021
shannon lannier | Aug 30, 2021

For real!! But that is just the tip of the iceberg, cuz they got one here who is known to deal with d-boys in south st. pete. Uses his job as cover and to remain inconspicuous...but lotta people know what he's doing and it'll eventually catch up to him and PAR. I've heard lotta stuff like your situation from girls there but this stuff i'm talking about is real criminal, not just civil. Hope it works out for you!

Is there someway former patrons can file legal for misuse of methadone and belligerent, irresponsible counselors??? I have got to believe I wont be the 1st and definitely won't be the last. While here I've seen deviant behavior from male counselors

teresa higgins | Aug 30, 2021
sarah mcafree | Aug 30, 2021

I'm sure some girls- and more than likely guys too LOL- have already filed some sort of grievance/civil action against at least a few of the dudes working here. No doubt in my mind. None. I KNOW what you went through ive heard n seen it all from so many who were there with me. Get a lawyer!

Make sure she only speaks with female counselor. I had long convo with this one guy here and he seriously tried to ruin my credibility and life here! His coworkers were all complicit in his deceitful, unethical, unprofessional web he created and didn't say or do anything after i found out he was using my info against me by spinning it his way for his own, selfish self gain. Be careful!

They should be closed PERMANENTLY!! They have a counselor who does deals with drug dealers he met through intakes here, and trys to do case study on a guy that didn't even solicit PAR's help. The dude isn't even an "addict"!!! That s..t should be illegal- probably is, he just hasn't been caught yet. PAR hired this lunatic, inept counselor and now he's concocting a fraudulent narrative on this dude I know who does nothing but mind his own business and bust a.. at work! This place is comical! They have to "choreograph" and "create" sh.t to validate their pathetic existence!!! Like I said, guys this inept don't have the credentials to validate them being employed for this kind of place. No way!

Kelly conway | Aug 30, 2021

They DO but unfortunately while your there they DO it not for you but to look at YOUR "crack" in the rear if u know what I mean. Some of these counselors act like they never been with a woman. And some of them here at least, a man too. Careful if you do end up here cuz they got some real pervs roaming the building

Do they take insurance and if so what kinds of insurance???

Karen Sturm | Aug 31, 2018
Eduardo Dantas | Aug 30, 2020

Yes, and they also take up valuable, precious chunks of time, time of your life, that you CAN'T GET BACK. Time you could use to work, but they'd rather put you on methadone and get you off one drug n hooked on another. Remember: you keep them employed!

Yes It is as bad as youve come to hear. There is a reason you wont hear boys n girls saying anything bad about the male counselors at acts or dacco or turning point, but you most definitely will here! Try a legit place homie cause what you heard is 100% facts!

Dacco or acts is the way to go since you are girl. Do not go to par im telling you. They have counselor praying on and obsessed with young girls forty yr younger than him- stalker type guys. Acts actually care and give you full support and all straight up- no trying to talk to you like they wanna get in your pants like par counselor!

I mean they are gunna get you on methadone cause thats what they do, that is their hustle. So you can try another route but it took me years to get off once they got me on. Honestly id try a different treatment place in Tampa.

how long does Intake take at maps

Angie C | Aug 30, 2020
Cortney Devin | Aug 30, 2020

Depending on which program your opting for. Are you referring to detox or Methadone maintenance?

Do you have to be in withdrawal The opiad can't be in your system? It's been almost 13yrs but,I used to be on methadone

Brenda Ruiz | Aug 30, 2020
The Batman | Aug 30, 2020

No you don't have to be in withdrawal. Methadone is not an opioid blocker so it won't put you in automatic withdrawal like Suboxone will. They prefer that you are not on anything else when you dose. But as long as you or your insurance pays and you don't fail too many tests past the first one. They'll keep giving it to you.

Does par take the county blue card

Stephanie Casper | Aug 30, 2020
Brian Stafford | Aug 30, 2021

If you tell the doctor at the health department that you need to get screened for the mate grant, it should get you a few months

Do you except Medicaid?

Chelsea Matta | Aug 31, 2019
Dwight Tully | Aug 31, 2019

Yes

Anyone know about this Vivotrol shot?? If so, how did you like it? How much is it and is it covered by insurance? Where can you get it?Any info on it I'd appreciate very much. Thank you!

Jays Phone | Aug 31, 2019
Obvious Observations | Aug 31, 2019

There are definite down sides as with all medication. These would be every bit of opiate or opioid must be gone from your system or it will put you into acute withdrawal. It also blocks dopamine receptors and blocking the release of endorphins, both of the feel good chemicals naturally released by the body. I'm never going to discourage someone from seeking treatment. From what I've seen in people on it, I KNOW that form of treatment is highly unappealing to me. I think it would be responsible for the worst depression ever. Research responses from real people, not testimony from pharma, treatment or biased sites. Hard to do but you can find it. For starters, lookup what dopamine and endorphins do to help the human body, specifically the brain. I go to Par but by what I see, Vivitrol is averagely $1000.00 a dose, so an educated guess tells me no coverage by Medicaid.

Wanda Sherlock | Aug 31, 2018
Maria Scott | Aug 31, 2018

Call Operation Par. Or dial 211 and ask for inpatient rehabs that accept insurance. Thats terrible that turning point did that, maybe it was a sign that he wasn't meant to be there, I'm in recovery I do know there are places out there that will help. Par is great, start there and 211. Good luck to you and your family. God Bless

What are the time frames within a day that they release clients that completed their stay at detox ? is it between certain times or is it anytime of the day ?

Jake Mclovin | Aug 31, 2018
bailey jean | Aug 31, 2018

It also depends on when they received there last dose of medicine they normally make you wait about 4hours after they give you volume but I believe if they have someone that will pick them up then they don't have to wait the 4 hours I know that's what they did with me

Do they work on sliding scale for payment? And do they accept patients who are taking subutex for opioid addiction?

Stephanie Cahill | Aug 31, 2018
Elizabeth Rodriguez (Liz) | Aug 31, 2018

Yes and for Subutex, you would have to be off of it for a few days. It can't be in your system before you take methadone.
