At 7 Summit Pathways, we believe it takes a whole-person approach to break the bonds of addiction physically, mentally and emotionally. Our goal is to provide our patients with the tools they need to achieve sobriety and enjoy a rewarding and meaningful life. To do this, we embrace various treatment modalities, including cutting-edge behavioral therapies, holistic treatment options and medically oriented care. This treatment model includes using physician-prescribed medications for medical and psychiatric health issues.
The Role of Medical and Psychiatric Care in Our Addiction Treatment Programs
At 7 Summit Pathways, we believe it takes a comprehensive, personalized approach to treat addiction. Many people struggling to break free from Substance Use Disorder suffer from undiagnosed behavioral health issues. Others use drugs or alcohol to deal with physical discomfort, such as conditions causing chronic pain. Once addiction has taken hold, severe withdrawal symptoms can make it feel impossible to quit.
When you come to 7 Summit Pathways, we blend medical and psychiatric care with our comprehensive addiction treatment programs to ensure you receive the individualized attention you need to break free from drug or alcohol dependence. Led by our full-time Board-Certified Addiction Medicine Medical Director, we can provide:
Psychiatric services.
Medical care.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT).
How We Combine Medical and Psychiatric Services for a Comprehensive Approach
Upon entering 7 Summit Pathways, we provide our patients with a complete physical examination by a certified addiction medicine physician. This assessment allows us to determine if you have any physical conditions or extreme withdrawal symptoms contributing to your addictive behaviors. You will then meet with an addiction psychiatrist who will assess you for possible co-occurring mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression or bipolar disorder.
Understanding your medical and psychiatric health allows us to optimize your personalized treatment program. After all, physical pain, withdrawal symptoms and mental health issues often contribute to a patient’s overall addiction level.
Our medical and psychiatric services blend seamlessly into your comprehensive treatment program, which may include:
Individual counseling.
Peer support and group therapy.
Family therapy.
Holistic activities, including yoga, creative expression and meditation.
The 7 Summit Pathways team is comprised of experienced and caring addiction medicine physicians, addiction psychiatrists, therapists, life skills counselors and other highly skilled addiction professionals. Each possesses the understanding and expertise to address the medical and psychiatric issues that often accompany Substance Addiction. Here are some of the medical and psychiatric services we provide to patients under our care.
Medical Care
Comfort and health are a high priority at 7 Summit Pathways. Appropriate medical supervision ensures you have access to the support and treatment you need, when you need it. Our addiction medicine physicians and support staff make Recovery as safe and comfortable as possible, helping you stay on track with your journey.
Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Many people seeking help struggle with one or more undiagnosed mental health issues. These co-occurring conditions contribute to the development of their addiction. Dual Diagnosis Treatment addresses mental illness and Substance Addiction simultaneously.
Medication-Assisted Treatment
We are proud to offer MAT to patients in Tampa, Florida, who struggle under the weight of uncomfortable or debilitating withdrawal symptoms and cravings. This service can help you focus more fully on your Recovery journey.
…the Staff of 7 Summit Pathways are very experienced and involved in every single person that walks in the door. It makes a difference when you have a full panel of staff with passion to help others and that knows exactly what we’ve been through.
7 Summit has been the best, most caring bunch of people I have ever been associated with. I would HIGHLY recommend 7SP to anyone looking for recovery. They have changed my life.
I was taught that that I matter and it was only here that I was able to develop a relationship which a Higher Power and know in my heart that the rest just follows. The staff is like family, all of the extra activities helped me understand that recovery is fun and I have developed myself into the person I’ve longed to be for many years.
7 Summit Pathways is a great place for recovery. They pay attention to client’s problems and take care of them until they get up on their own feet.
They focused on helping me heal in all aspects of my life – from trauma therapy to medication management, yoga and art, but most importantly creating a therapeutic environment of support as you transition into living a sober life.
7 Summit Pathways has truly changed my life and I am forever grateful for the things they’ve done for me. If you’re searching for a treatment center – this is it. Dr. Wilson, along with the rest of the treatment team, genuinely care about your recovery and well-being. The atmosphere is safe and nonjudgmental. Their professionals program is geared toward the science behind addiction and what it looks like getting back to work. I will forever cherish my experience here at 7 Summit.
7 Summit Pathways is an excellent place for people in need for recovery. The staff is fantastic! Special thanks to Dr. Wilson, he is the best, he literally saved my life; also special thanks to Mank, who supported me all the way; Heather, who made this place like home and financially affordable; my therapist Terryn, who guided me in recovery; amazing nurse Debi, our techs, our support group and all staff of 7 Summit! Thank you so very much for your care! If someone needs help with addiction problems, the 7 Summit is the place!!!
This was the best place!! The staff are so wonderful and caring. I received such personalized care and attention for all the areas in my life. I’m still clean after 2 years. I honestly believe they saved my life! I would definitely recommend Seven Summits Pathways. My favorite part was that I lived in an apartment setting and was able to cook my own meals and we hosted our own NA meeting weekly sitting around a fire pit. I still talk with some staff and clients. I feel like they are family now.
7 Summit Pathways set me on a path to achieve my recovery goals. They met me where I was at, understood my situation, and helped me take that first step after a difficult time trying to stay clean. Their holistic approach to recovery helps you learn how to be good to yourself again. It’s not one size fits all – they created a program to match my needs to move forward in my recovery and in life. I am extremely grateful for everything 7 S and the staff has done for me. Dr Wilson, Heather, and the therapists developed a plan for me that worked. Once I was willing to do the work, they provided the tools to achieve my goals. 7 S provides personal attention in a smaller treatment center atmosphere. I truly believe this individualized care saved my life.
Heather saved my life and for that I will be ever grateful. This is definitely not the cold corporate approach that one finds elsewhere–they really do care about you here and will do whatever it takes to see you succeed and stay clean. Most of the staff are in recovery so they are passionate about what they do and approach things in a warm and empathetic manner. Thank you 7 Summit!
7 Summit is amazing! They literally saved my life. Every single therapist is amazing and the other staff also. I was very negative coming into treatment but within a week that changed. They truly all care about helping people and their families. I came in from being homeless and they set me up with every resource I needed and all the support in the world! It became my home while I was there
This place truly saved my life. They gave me the tools that I, as an individual, needed to get sober and enter into my life of recovery. It helps that almost everyone you encounter there are also in recovery. There is no judgment. The therapists are very personable, kind and helpful. The recovery coaches help guide you while you’re a patient as well as after your discharge. If you are serious about kicking your addiction and starting a life of sobriety in recovery, Dr. Wilson and the staff at 7 Summit can help you.
I can’t say enough good about this place. I was hesitant about entering treatment back in February however the experience was LIFE CHANGING… Seriously! I wish everyone could go through this program. The staff are all super understanding and professional, never judgmental, always willing to listen and help. The assignments are so helpful and the property and housing made me feel at home. Thanks, 7 Summit for everything! I have my life back and I feel like the best version of myself for the first time in forever!
I spent 60 days at 7 Summit and didn’t come willingly. However, within 2 days I settled in and got to work. The staff was very helpful, kind, and in recovery themselves which is a plus! Would highly recommend this place to anyone willing to participate in their own recovery.
7 Summit Pathways is professionally operated and the staff is empathetic, empowering, and excellent in their delivery of hope and healing. Their message is clear, there is a solution and you can recover. I highly recommended to anyone suffering or anyone that knows or has loved ones suffering from the disease of addiction to contact 7 Summit Pathways.
After a recent relapse, I knew I had to get help so I started doing research and calling facilities in the Tampa area. I have struggled with my addiction issues for about 20 years now. I have been in just about every rehab in the Tampa area and one in Orlando. In other words, I’m very familiar with how these places operate. I called 7 Summit and talked to David. He was extremely polite and not pushy like a few other places that I talked to. The price at 7 Summit was about half of the other places I had spoke with. I decided I wanted help from this facility and they got me in as fast as they could. With Covid that was a bit challenging but nothing, they could control. In fact, I appreciated all the precautions they took when it comes to Covid. I had a very comfortable detox. I was in a nice house with others early in the recovery process as well. I attended daily groups. I was constantly being checked on by the nurse or doctor to make sure I was comfortable. The bottom line for me was that every single employee from the counselors, the home staff and the medical staff were all very concerned about providing the best treatment to ensure a thorough recovery. . . Learning about the disease itself and learning actual fundamental tools that will prevent me from relapsing. . . My counselor George calls me every week to check on me. Mank has also been amazing as well. The outpatient therapist Jill knows her stuff. I can’t say enough about the staff. The difference for me was that 7 Summit actually cares about you and your success. They know the disease of addiction in every possible way from the triggers, relapse, medical aspects to the HUGE importance of accepting the help of others in recovery. For me, it was a combination of all of this that I feel like I can say saved my life. I’ve been clean for months now. All you have to do is follow the suggestions of this facility and you will be clean as well. I still have a lot to learn but I’m way more confident knowing I have 7 Summit and the staff backing me up. I would definitely recommend this facility. If you are ready for a new way of living and are tired of being sick and tired give 7 Summit a try.
Our family cannot thank all of those at 7 Summit Pathways enough for being there for the long haul. My addict of 20 years found peace with herself and a new, fulfilled life at this rehab. . . 7 Summit Pathways has provided continued follow up, care, and support. The director and the doctor have always said they are in it for the long haul! Relapse is part of the process, and so is continuing the program. 7 Summit has a well-rounded program providing mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional support. We know it takes a village to help the addict! We are grateful for everyone on the staff. They are friendly, professional, and maintain constant communication and feedback with the addict’s family! We feel blessed to have found 7 Summit Pathways! It has been a positive journey for us, our addict, and they have truly been our village. We highly recommend 7 Summit Pathways for anyone with an addiction.
After 20+ years of struggling with my addiction, I not only found a program that was beneficial in addressing all of my issues, but more importantly a network of people of who now I consider “family”. . . The staff at “7 Summit Pathways” literally took me by the hand, walked me through the most critical points in early recovery, believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself, and one day at a day breathed life into my lifeless soul. I am living proof that miracles do happen! None of this would have been at all possible without the help of each and every individual on the “7 Summit” team who has impacted my life. Some, more than others, yet each and every one of them in a way that has profoundly changed my life. I have never been to any other facility that goes above and beyond the way they do. The concept of the program focuses on individualized treatment, which only further encourages you to embrace your own personal journey. Their holistic approach to recovery is structured to be in a more intimate setting, giving each individual a sense of security, as well as feelings of unconditional love and support unlike any other treatment center I have attended which doesn’t stop when you walk out the door. When the staff at “7 Summit Pathways” tells you their doors are always open, they sincerely mean that. That was something I had never experienced anywhere else. Thank you to each and everyone at “7 Summit Pathways” who has touched my life in such a memorable and impressionable way, I have a “life” again today. I have my family back, and they have their, daughter, sister, granddaughter, etc. back. I will never be able to repay the owner and the doctor for all they have done for me and my family. With over 13 months clean today, I no longer dread being alive but wake up every day filled with gratitude and excitement for the journey that lies ahead. It has been a long road, not always the easiest, but well worth it. I no longer regret my past, but learn from it and remember that “the best is yet to come”! For anyone who may be seeking treatment for themselves, a family member or any loved one, I highly recommend “7 Summit Pathways”! The facility along with its amazing team of staff members exceeded beyond my expectations. “7 Summit Pathways” is no longer just a treatment center for myself or my family, but rather a place that I consider “home”.
7 Summit Pathways completely changed my life and helped put me on an upward trajectory. I was in bad shape knowing that I needed help but not knowing where or how and I was so blessed my wife and I discovered 7 Summit. Dr. Wilson and Nurse Debbie were quickly able to get a handle on treating me medically and Jorge and their other therapists helped guide me in a direction of healing that was the underlying reason of my addiction. I am from Illinois and was looking for a warm sunny state to get the necessary treatment I needed in my life and 7 Summit was perfect. The living accommodations were amazing, the treatment in group and individually was well scheduled (throwing in the occasional massage, acupuncture, expressive art, yoga, or craniosacral therapy helped!). Not only was I able to learn how to beat my addiction and work on their underlying conditions, but I also learned valuable self care skills that one unlearns during active addiction (cooking, cleaning). Going to live meetings every day (both NA, AA, and Wellbriety) got me acclimated and comfortable for when I was ready to leave. The best part of 7 Summit was their ratio of staff to clients (very small). They limit their bed size to ensure that their patients get the attention and treatment they need. Each patient gets an individualized treatment plan and is not cookie cut with all the rest. 7 Summit will work with your insurance (and in many cases help get you insurance or help if you don’t have any) to make sure you can stay in their program for the appropriate amount of time you need so that you are not sent out too early and will have a greater chance NOT to relapse. Heather, the owner and founder of 7 Summit takes an active role in everyone’s experience and recovery and goes out of her way with the many things she does or provides the 7 Summit clients. Even after one graduates their program, 7 Summit and their therapists and recovery coaches keep in contact with you to ensure you are doing well. They even help facilitate your next level of recovery or stepping down. Everything from admission to graduation went smoothly and if you are committed to recovery and looking for a warm, sunny location that has cutting-edge care and treatment 7 Summit is the place for you. 5 stars all the way!
