Where a person lives in early recovery matters. The right location makes daily life possible. The wrong one makes it harder.
Tuscawilla Place is located at 525 NE Sanchez Ave in Ocala, Florida, directly across the street from Tuscawilla Park. The campus sits on the SunTran bus route. Downtown Ocala is minutes away. A temporary employment agency is close by. And 18 AA meetings happen on campus every week without residents ever needing to leave.
The location was not an accident. It is one of the reasons Tuscawilla Place works.
Step outside and Tuscawilla Park is right there.
Walking trails wind through the park alongside the water. There are fishing spots, tennis courts, open green space, and views that make it easy to take a breath and remember that recovery is about building a life worth living, not just avoiding the wrong ones.
Access to fresh air, movement, and a calm outdoor environment matters in early recovery. The location puts all of that steps from the front door, every single day.

For residents who are working or job hunting, the route puts employment within reach. For residents who are building their independence one step at a time, having a way to get where they need to go is part of how that independence gets built.
