Recovery Village

Recovery Village in Umatilla, Florida is structured around the reality that lasting recovery rarely happens in a single step. The facility offers medical detox, residential treatment, and an outpatient program — a sequence that allows people to move through progressively less intensive levels of care as they build stability. That continuum matters for anyone thinking about recovery as a long-term commitment rather than a short-term intervention.

Medical detox at Recovery Village marks the clinical starting point, providing supervised care during the earliest and most physically demanding phase of the process. Residential treatment follows for those who benefit from full immersion in a structured recovery environment. The outpatient program then supports continued progress for people who are ready to reintegrate daily life into their recovery — or who are stepping down from residential care. Aftercare support extends the relationship beyond formal treatment, a key element for anyone building a sustainable recovery plan.

Recovery Village has built specific programming around two populations whose recovery needs are often more complex: veterans and first responders. Both groups frequently carry occupational trauma alongside substance use disorders, making integrated dual diagnosis treatment especially important. The facility's use of EMDR — Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing — alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) directly addresses trauma and PTSD as part of the substance abuse treatment process, rather than treating them as separate issues.

The facility's acceptance of VA Community Care Network benefits and TRICARE makes it a practical option for veterans and active-duty service members navigating addiction treatment through military and federal insurance. For first responders facing similar barriers around stigma and access, the same clinical infrastructure applies. Recovery Village's Opioid Treatment Program certification further signals a structured, accountable framework for those dealing specifically with opioid addiction within these communities.

One of the more practical aspects of choosing a recovery center is understanding how to pay for care. Recovery Village accepts a broad range of private insurance carriers, including Aetna, Anthem BCBS, Cigna, Coventry, Health Net, Humana, Mutual of Omaha, and Optum Health, along with the VA Community Care Network. TRICARE and self-pay or cash options are also available, giving prospective patients and their families multiple pathways to access treatment.

The facility operates 24 hours a day, which means the process of getting information or beginning an intake conversation doesn't have to wait. Reaching Recovery Village directly at (352) 669-8000 connects callers with staff who can walk through insurance verification and program options. For families supporting a loved one through the decision-making process, that accessibility is part of what distinguishes a recovery center built for longer-term engagement.

The clinical and medical leadership at Recovery Village brings together distinct specialties within addiction and mental health care. Dr. Jennyffer Miller, MD, serves as Associate Chief Medical Officer for the Umatilla location and as ORC Medical Director, overseeing the medical dimension of treatment. Theresa Trombly-Frey, LMHC, CCTP, QS, holds the Clinical Director role, bringing licensure in mental health counseling alongside a certified trauma professional credential — relevant given the facility's emphasis on co-occurring PTSD and addiction treatment.

Pat Akers, RN, leads the nursing department, supporting the around-the-clock medical care that detox and residential treatment require. Together, this team reflects a program where medical oversight, clinical mental health expertise, and nursing care operate in coordination — a structure that matters when choosing a residential treatment or detox program where the acuity of care can shift quickly during early recovery.
