About The Refuge, A Healing Place

The Refuge is an LBGTQ+ friendly luxury behavioral health treatment center for adults located in the Ocala National Forest in Ocklawaha, Florida. They offer inpatient and outpatient detox and substance abuse treatment for adults.

The Refuge provides trauma-informed, holistic treatments on 90+ acres in a calm forest setting for physical, spiritual and emotional healing. Their residential detox provides medical supervision during the withdrawal process. Each client will be given a customized treatment plan. Nurses who specialize in addiction treatment will oversee each patient during treatment.

Outpatient detox is designed for individuals who do not want residential treatment. In this program, clients will return home each day following treatment. This method of detox is ideal for those who have a safe home environment and need to continue with their usual routine. Detox clients may be exposed to cognitive behavioral therapy, 12-step, as well as group and individual counseling.

Treatment generally lasts seven to 10 days and can include medications such as buprenorphine, naltrexone, nicotine replacement therapy, Chantix, disulfiram or topiramate. Clients are encouraged to attend support groups such as AA and NA which have meetings on site and off-site. Following detox, individuals can choose to continue their recovery journey through the other programs offered at The Refuge.

On site amenities include a swimming pool, volleyball and basketball courts, various hiking trails, and yoga, meditation and art classes.

The Refuge accepts private pay and private insurance. Please connect with your insurance provider to confirm coverage as out of network benefits may vary.
