At Gulf Breeze Recovery (GBR), we understand that overcoming addiction requires more than just addressing substance use—it demands a holistic approach that treats the whole person. Under the leadership of CEO and addiction psychiatrist Dr. Lantie Elisabeth Jorandby, our center has developed a comprehensive treatment philosophy that combines traditional therapeutic methods with innovative holistic practices to support lasting recovery.
Understanding the Root Causes of Addiction
Research reveals a striking statistic: approximately 80% of women seeking addiction treatment have experienced trauma, often multiple times throughout their lives. This understanding shapes our approach at Gulf Breeze Recovery, where we recognize that successful treatment must address both the visible symptoms of addiction and their underlying causes.
“If you don’t identify that kind of root cause, people continue to relapse,” explains Dr. Jorandby, who brings both professional expertise and personal experience to her role. Having been a family member of someone struggling with mental health and substance use problems, she understands the challenges faced by both patients and their loved ones.
The Three Principles Approach: A Foundation for Recovery
Our program distinguishes itself through the integration of the Three Principles approach, which focuses on the interconnection between thoughts, emotions, and self-identity. This method helps individuals develop greater self-awareness and emotional regulation skills, providing them with tools to manage triggers and challenges in recovery.
Comprehensive Treatment Components
Medical Support and Safe Detoxification
Under the supervision of experienced professionals like Dr. Epenscheid, our medical team provides 24/7 nursing care during the detox process, which typically lasts 3-7 days. We prioritize patient comfort and safety during this crucial initial phase of recovery.
Therapeutic Support
Guests receive two individual therapy sessions per week, complemented by daily group therapy sessions. We utilize evidence-based treatments, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma processing. EMDR is typically introduced midway through a guest’s stay to ensure maximum effectiveness.
Holistic Wellness Practices
Our program incorporates various holistic approaches to support recovery:
Recreational therapy, including fishing, nature walks, and group outings- Fitness programs and exercise facilities
- Nutritional support through chef-prepared meals
- Spa services and spa for detoxification
- Neurofeedback therapy for brain retraining
