About EPIC Recovery Center EPIC Behavioral Healthcare
EPIC Recovery Center, operating under EPIC Behavioral Healthcare at 3574 U.S. Highway 1 South in Saint Augustine, Florida, is a CARF-accredited substance use treatment facility open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For individuals in crisis or families making urgent decisions about medically supervised detox, the center’s around-the-clock availability means no waiting for business hours to begin the process of safe withdrawal management. Located in Saint Johns County, EPIC serves a broad adult population and accepts multiple payment sources including Medicaid and TRICARE.
The facility offers three distinct levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, and an outpatient program. Medical detox is the entry point for individuals who require supervised withdrawal management before transitioning to longer-term treatment. Residential treatment provides structured, live-in programming for those who need continued support after detox, while the outpatient program offers a step-down option for individuals building toward independent recovery. All three levels are available at a single location, supporting continuity of care.
Clinically, EPIC incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into its treatment approach and addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use. Trauma and PTSD are recognized conditions treated at the center, reflecting an understanding that addiction frequently intersects with unresolved psychological injury. Aftercare planning includes peer support, care coordination, and access to Second Wind Sober Living, extending support beyond the formal treatment episode.
EPIC serves a notably diverse population: veterans, pregnant women, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors, men, women, individuals with HIV/AIDS, those who are deaf or hard of hearing, and court-ordered participants. Payment flexibility is a practical differentiator — Medicaid, state insurance, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay are all accepted, and the center is noted for affordable and subsidized services. For individuals or families navigating financial barriers to detox and residential care, that combination of CARF accreditation and broad insurance acceptance carries real weight.
