Medical Detox and Rehab Near Land O’ Lakes
Medically supervised detox runs 24 hours a day, with residential rehab and outpatient care to follow. Riverside Recovery manages withdrawal from alcohol, opioids including fentanyl, benzodiazepines and methamphetamine, and extends benzodiazepine tapers well beyond the industry standard.
Florida Medical Examiners interim reports show methamphetamine deaths falling 51 percent across the medical examiner district covering Pasco and Pinellas counties between the first half of 2024 and the first half of 2025. Fentanyl deaths in the same district fell 66 percent measured against 2021.
Pasco County continues to widen access. The Florida Department of Health in Pasco opened a harm reduction vending machine at the All Ways Center in New Port Richey, dispensing free Narcan and HIV self-testing kits from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday, in partnership with BayCare Behavioral Health.
What those measures do not provide is supervised withdrawal. Methamphetamine and fentanyl both produce withdrawal that patients rarely complete alone, and a Land O’ Lakes resident attempting it without medical support usually returns to use within days rather than weeks.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is residential treatment the same as rehab?
“Rehab” covers the whole continuum, while residential treatment names one level inside it. Riverside Recovery’s continuum runs medical detox, residential care, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient therapy. Land O’ Lakes patients step from detox into residential care without changing clinical team.
How long does medical detox take?
Riverside Recovery’s medical detox runs about seven days for most substances. Benzodiazepine detox runs far longer, because Riverside follows ASAM criteria with tapers of 30 days or more against an industry standard of five to ten days. Land O’ Lakes patients use either the New Port Richey facility or the Tampa detox unit, whichever the assessment indicates.
What is the difference between detox and residential treatment?
Medical detox manages withdrawal under 24-hour nursing and medical supervision. Residential treatment follows detox and shifts the work to therapy, with two individual sessions each week, daily group therapy, and daily 12-step meetings inside the facility.
Which Riverside location serves Land O’ Lakes?
Riverside Recovery of New Port Richey at 5079 Little Rd sits roughly 25 minutes west of Land O’ Lakes on SR-54, and delivers residential, inpatient, and outpatient care plus evening intensive outpatient programming.
Is methadone detox available?
Riverside Recovery runs methadone detox with dose restrictions, and often requires a patient to taper before admission. Riverside’s medical team manages that protocol alongside buprenorphine and naltrexone, the other two medications the FDA has approved for opioid use disorder. Riverside’s medical team assesses that for Pasco County patients before admission.
Does Pasco County have 211?
Pasco County residents reach 211 through 211 Tampa Bay Cares, which operates 24 hours a day and refers callers to more than 3,000 human services across the region. Callers dial 211 or text a zip code to 898211.
