To whom it may concern, SJRP changed my life with the infinite amount of love and patience they offered to me. The variety of food and activities made me excited for each day that came along. Activities included the gym, equine therapy, horse back riding, NIT/VAT therapy ( which is amazing!!!), painting and reading, meditation, group and one on one therapy sessions. Extra activities include park excursions, kayaking, visiting springs, and the beach. All the staff ranging from the Director of Operations down to the Custodians are there to provide tender loving care for the betterment of each client. I speak from personal experience and this is why I am so grateful for the opportunity to attend Saint Johns Recovery Place.
I Finally Get It! When I made the decision to seek help again. I honestly didn't believe there was any for me. In that moment of desperation, all I knew was I needed to get somewhere safe. My addiction had me believing I wanted to die. Any addict reading this will understand that feeling. I had pretty much given up trying to find an open bed in a detox center When I entered treatment at Sunspire Health Hyde Park on October, 2017 it was to save my life. However, being my third treatment center. I just expected more of the same. Do this, don't do that, chant the serenity prayer, do a 12 step program, and be on your way. What I got was more than this addict could have ever dreamt for; a new perspective on life. After a brief adjustment period of me wanting to control and run every aspect of Sunspire and my treatment program. Yes, me the addict who weeks before was on the edge of death knew what was best for me. Thank God for the amazing operational and clinical staff who maneuvered me through and convinced me to stay on the numerous occasions I wanted to leave because it was too much. I opened up and allowed myself to receive the treatment/services Sunspire offered. The individualized one on one therapy was eye opening and has honestly changed my life. After thirty years of using drugs to cope. I've finally come to realize that my issue isn't with drugs and alcohol; the issue is ME. My therapist individualized a treatment plan to my specific needs and with my input. This allowed me to dig deep into those things that plagued me from childhood into adulthood. The cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, psychodrama, relapse prevention, codependence, spirituality, relationships and family dynamics groups provided the knowledge, skills and tools I need to piece my life back together. Along with that they put great emphasis on NA/AA sponsorship and building a network of people outside of treatment. The outside meetings were a reintroduction to life and people clean. Reaching out and asking for help was something I just didn't do before Sunspire. I have a lot of work still to do. I am open and accepting to do that work. I have never felt so confident and as prepared to "live life on life's terms" as I do today after spending 90 days at Sunspire Health Hyde Park. For the first time in my life, I am looking forward to the future and a life in long term recovery. I finally got it and it's so simple, I never have to use again.
Really helped my coworker’s sister. She went to a lot of programs before but couldn’t stay clean. She looks amazing now. This program made such a difference.
Lutz faces problems with substance misuse and addiction like many other cities in Florida and throughout the United States.
Lutz sits in the northernmost part of Hillsborough County just 15 miles north of Tampa. Opioid misuse has been especially problematic in the county since 2015. That year, there were 182 drug overdose deaths in Hillsborough County, nearly 75% of which were caused by opioids.1 In 2017, the number of drug overdose deaths increased to 229, with more than 78% of those deaths being related to opioids.1
By June 2018, there were 108 drug overdose deaths in the county, 76% of which were related to opioids.1 The Hillsborough County medical examiner noted that many opioid-related deaths were being driven by heroin and fentanyl—particularly synthetic fentanyl.1 In September 2020, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Department reported that several kilograms of heroin and fentanyl had been moved into the county every month since late 2019.2
In 2018, the Hillsborough County medical examiner reported seeing a rise in the number of overdose deaths related to cocaine, methamphetamine, and kratom, along with new derivatives of Spice—a type of synthetic marijuana.1 In December 2021, Florida Poison Control announced that an uptick in Spice use in Hillsborough County led to the hospitalization of 40 people over the course of a few days.3
Though opioid and Spice use is prevalent in Hillsborough County, this region also sees problems with alcohol misuse. In 2017, alcohol was the primary drug of choice used by residents who received addiction treatment in Hillsborough County, which includes Lutz.1
