WhiteSands detox and residential treatment center in Plant City is situated on a beautiful 10-acre campus that’s filled with unique amenities for patients to enjoy. The alcohol and drug rehab was founded with the goal of elevating the standards of care in addiction treatment, providing patients the best possible experience and the greatest chance of sustaining long-term sobriety.

WhiteSands Founder and CEO, Garry Jonas said, “At WhiteSands, our patient philosophy has always been to provide a comfortable environment featuring state-of-the-art facilities with the belief that a comfortable guest makes for a successful patient.”

To achieve its goal, WhiteSands provides each patient with a comfortable private room featuring a private bathroom and access to cell phones, laptops, wifi, and TV. The campus includes a host of amenities and activities including a swimming pool, walking paths, fountains, gazebos, outdoor BBQ, arts and crafts, yoga classes, and a brand new recreation center and athletics complex.

Patients like Jacob gain tremendous benefit from the programs offered in the rec center. “They have a full gym, a boxing ring, a pool, and lots of other things that take your mind off your addiction,” he said.

The WhiteSands boxing program is a favorite among patients and WhiteSands is one of the few rehab centers in the nation to feature it. Boxing exercise is a therapeutic program in which patients work one-on-one with professional boxers and personal trainers to master the art and technique of boxing. It requires undivided focus and provides an opportunity for patients to clear their minds.

Boxing therapy is a great way for patients to get in shape and also serves as an excellent coping mechanism for managing stress and potential triggers. Patients report that boxing gives them a much-needed way to workout difficult emotions at the end of a long day of therapy.

Of course, boxing and other forms of exercise therapy are not stand-alone treatments for alcohol and drug addiction. At WhiteSands, these form part of the comprehensive holistic approach that has allowed them to help over 10,000 people to date attain lasting sobriety. WhiteSands provides the highest quality staff, all levels of care, individualized treatment plans, and premier amenities and accommodations to provide patients with all the tools necessary to transform their lives for good.
