The Full Continuum of Care in Indian River County
For the first time in a generation, Indian River County residents can access every level of substance abuse treatment — from medical detox through outpatient — without leaving the community. Vero Beach Recovery Center LLC now provides this complete pathway through two local facilities: Treasure Coast Detox, coming soon, and the existing Vero Beach Recovery Center outpatient clinic. This is a significant development for a county that has historically lacked higher levels of care, forcing residents to travel to Palm Beach, Broward, and beyond to begin their recovery journey.
The ability to move through the full continuum — from medically monitored detox to residential treatment, then into intensive outpatient and outpatient — under the care of a single, coordinated organization changes what recovery looks like for Indian River County residents and their families.
Why Continuity of Care Matters
Research consistently identifies fragmented care — transitioning between unconnected providers at each level of treatment — as one of the most significant barriers to sustained recovery. When a patient leaves detox and enters a residential program at a different facility, or completes inpatient care only to start over with an outpatient provider who has no prior knowledge of their treatment history, critical clinical momentum is lost.
Under a single-organization continuum, that gap disappears. At Vero Beach Recovery Center LLC, the same treatment philosophy, shared clinical records, and coordinated care team follow each patient from admission through every level of care. There is no “starting over” — no repeating assessments, re-establishing trust with a new clinical team, or adjusting to an unfamiliar approach. The transition between levels of care is a clinical handoff, not a referral to a stranger.
Our Levels of Care
Vero Beach Recovery Center LLC provides four distinct levels of care across two facilities, structured as a clear clinical pathway:
- Medical Detox (ASAM Level 3.7) — Medically monitored inpatient detoxification for alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal, with 24/7 nursing and physician oversight. For individuals who require medical supervision to safely withdraw before engaging in therapeutic treatment. Located at Treasure Coast Detox — 6410 Old Dixie Hwy, Vero Beach, FL 32967.
- Residential Treatment (ASAM Level 3.5) — Intensive inpatient treatment with 24-hour clinical staffing, structured daily programming, and individualized therapy. Designed for patients completing detox or those entering directly who require the stability and structure of residential care before returning to independent living. Located at Treasure Coast Detox — 6410 Old Dixie Hwy, Vero Beach, FL 32967.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (ASAM Level 2.1) — Structured day and evening therapy sessions, up to five per week, while clients maintain employment, family obligations, and daily responsibilities. The ideal step-down from residential treatment — or a primary level of care for those who do not require inpatient stabilization. Located at Vero Beach Recovery Center — 333 17th Street, Suite M, Vero Beach, FL 32960.
- Outpatient Program (ASAM Level 1.0) — Continued clinical support as clients transition toward fully independent recovery. Lower intensity, higher autonomy — reinforcing the skills and support networks built throughout the earlier phases of treatment. Located at Vero Beach Recovery Center — 333 17th Street, Suite M, Vero Beach, FL 32960.
Each level is calibrated to where a patient is in their recovery — not where it is most convenient to place them.
Keeping Recovery Local
When treatment requires leaving Indian River County, the costs extend well beyond logistics. Family members can’t visit easily. Employers lose contact. The friendships, routines, and support networks that anchor a person to their community are temporarily severed — often at the moment they are needed most. For many, that distance becomes one more reason to leave treatment early.
With Vero Beach Recovery Center LLC, recovery stays local. Families can remain actively involved throughout inpatient care at Treasure Coast Detox, and that involvement carries seamlessly into IOP and outpatient at Vero Beach Recovery Center. The clinical team that guided a patient through detox and residential treatment is the same team coordinating their outpatient care — supporting not just the individual, but the relationships and environment they are returning to.
This kind of local continuity is unique to Vero Beach Recovery Center LLC in Indian River County. No other provider in the county offers this full pathway.
Built on Experience
Vero Beach Recovery Center has operated in Indian River County for over four and a half years — the longest-running private substance abuse treatment provider in the county. The outpatient programs at Vero Beach Recovery Center are CARF-accredited and DCF licensed, reflecting a sustained commitment to clinical quality and accountability. Treasure Coast Detox is pursuing Joint Commission (JCAHO) accreditation upon opening.
The organization primarily treats Alcohol Use Disorder — the most prevalent substance use condition in the region — along with co-occurring disorders and other substance dependencies. Care across all levels is grounded in evidence-based, trauma-informed, and individualized approaches. The expansion into inpatient and detox is not a pivot — it is the natural extension of a clinical mission that has been active in this community for years.
