Outpatient treatment - Cove has outpatient clinics in both tampa and lakeland. Cove offers both education and customized Behavioral Health treatment through individual, group, and family counseling sessions offered during the day or evening in person or via telehealth.

Patients follow a class-based schedule to ensure their care is individualized to best fit their needs. Intensive outpatient is the second highest outpatient level of care. In intensive outpatient, patients are in services for 9 hours per week. Outpatient is the lowest level of care where patients are typically in services for 2 hours per week. Outpatient services are provided at our main campus, our lakeland office, and through telehealth. Our tampa clinic serves youth aged 12-18 in traditional outpatient services. Medication assisted treatment services provides treatment to individuals ages 18+ who are addicted to either prescription (oxycontin, vicodin, fentanyl) or street (heroin) opiate drugs and need a bridge between addiction and sobriety. We provide three medication options: methadone, suboxone, or vivitrol. These medications prevent withdrawal symptoms, reduce the risk of relapse and overdose, and control cravings. In addition to medical care, individuals receive counseling to treat the substance use disorder.

Prevention services - prevention services are designed to help youth develop a positive self-image, effective coping skills, substance use refusal skills, social skills to avoid high-risk behaviors, and effective interpersonal relationships. All prevention services are free of charge to hillsborough county residents, and Cove's programs serve the middle and high schools in the county. Examples of curriculum utilized in our prevention programs include project success, rxsmart, and mental wellness basics. Project success is an evidence-based curriculum used with middle and high school students in individual and group settings that assist in the review of adolescent development and positive coping skills and goal setting. Cove partnered with an educational technology company everfi to provide rxsmart, an innovative digital course that provides high schools students with knowledge and tools to make Health, informed decisions when it comes to prescription medications. Through a partnership with everfi, Cove offers an interactive digital mental wellness basics course that provides students with knowledge and tools to achieve and maintain positive mental Health now and in the future.
