About Chemical Addictions Recovery Effort Primary Care Detoxification
Chemical Addictions Recovery Effort (CARE), Inc. is a Florida-based not-for-profit agency headquartered at 4000 East 3rd Street in Panama City. The Primary Care Detoxification program is one of several clinical services CARE operates, anchoring the medical detox piece of the agency’s continuum. SAMHSA records identify the agency as a CARF-accredited Substance Use Treatment provider, and the agency’s own materials describe its mission as reducing the stigma of addiction while supporting people and families through prevention, intervention, treatment, and recovery.
The agency’s published service menu spans medication-assisted treatment, care coordination, residential services, prevention services, DUI services, detox services, and outpatient services. That structure allows CARE to serve as a single point of entry for clients whose needs change over time, from acute detox stabilization through ongoing outpatient counseling. Co-occurring evidence-based treatment is specifically highlighted, recognizing that mental health concerns frequently appear alongside substance use disorders.
SAMHSA’s records list a wide range of populations served at this site, including veterans, pregnant women, young adults, seniors, men, women, clients with HIV, and people who are court-ordered into treatment. Trauma and dual diagnosis are flagged among the conditions specifically addressed. Payment options are notably broad: Medicaid, state insurance, private insurance, sliding-scale fees, and self-pay are all accepted, which lets the agency support clients who would otherwise be priced out of care.
Panama City sits in Bay County along Florida’s Gulf Coast. The agency’s main intake line is (850) 872-7676. CARE also runs prevention services and DUI services, supporting community-level work alongside direct clinical care. The agency’s nonprofit structure means donations help underwrite treatment for clients whose insurance does not cover the full prescribed course of care.
