About Juvenile Addiction Receiving Facility (JARF)

The Juvenile Addiction Receiving Facility in Tampa, Florida, treats adolescent boys ages 13 through 17 in a residential setting. Teens in this program may have behavioral and emotional health challenges, addiction, or a history of trauma or abuse. This is a community-based behavioral health organization that uses evidence-based interventions and social support services.

This program does not have a detox-focused program and therefore, may not be able to treat active medical conditions like withdrawal from substance use. But they can make referrals if need be.

A Safe, Structured & Supportive Environment

This group home gives young males personalized care aimed at fulfilling their personal needs and achieving lasting recovery. Most teens stay at this facility between three and six months. While living onsite, kids will learn skills they need to be independent and how to become resilient.

This facility is close to Lettuce Lake Park and Hillsborough River. These outdoor environments offer nature trails and calming waterfront areas. An amusement park, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay is a fun optional activity to enhance healing.

Independent Living Activities And Access to Education

While in treatment, kids engage in individual and group therapy that meets all emotional, behavioral, and addiction needs. Their personalized care plans address their specific needs and goals. Structured activities encourage healthy habits, social interaction, and foster a well-rounded experience.

Education is a component of treatment, including tutoring, assistance with schoolwork, and continuity of educational goals. Residents will gain important life skills like budgeting, time management, and cooking. They will gain peer relationships and learn how to live with other male teens.
