Behavioral Health Centers offers comprehensive inpatient mental health and addiction treatment to residents of Okeechobee County, FL, and beyond. Many patients come from prominent cities within the county, including:

• Okeechobee City
• Whispering Pines
• Treasure Island
• Country Hills Estates
• Ancient Oaks

Additionally, many mental and drug treatment program participants come from nearby counties, including Palm Beach, Desoto, Highlands, Hardee and Glades counties. Major Florida cities like West Palm Beach, Boca Raton and Miami Beach are included in this service area.

However, the best treatment centers don’t limit themselves to locals. That’s why we’re proud to serve those seeking treatment from all over the United States.

Behavioral Health Centers provides four primary treatment programs for those needing assistance: a drug and alcohol detox program, inpatient treatment, a mental health program and aftercare programs. There are also special programs designed for first responders and veterans that other rehab centers in Okeechobee, FL may not offer.

The alcohol and drug rehab program is designed for people who battle with substance addiction. The purpose of a detox program is to purge the body of the alcohol or drugs that you or your loved one is seeking substance abuse treatment for. The detox experience will be different depending on the substance used.

Whether you’re detoxing from alcohol, prescription medications or another illicit substance, our treatment center helps make the process as comfortable as possible. Although it may be tempting to detox at home, this can be dangerous, especially with opioid addiction. Detoxing with medical supervision is the safer option, especially if you’ve been using a substance for a long time. Not only will you receive the support necessary, but you’ll be near professionals in the event of a medical emergency during your substance detox.

Some of the substances our treatment center is designed to help you detox from include:

• Alcohol
• Heroin
• Cocaine

• Hallucinogens
• Sedatives
• PCP

• Painkillers (including morphine)
• Amphetamines
• Methamphetamines

Inpatient treatment is key to helping you or your loved one overcome substance abuse. Anyone suffering from drug or alcohol addiction will benefit from living in our treatment center temporarily.

During your stay, you’ll be able to focus solely on achieving permanent sobriety in a safe, comfortable drug rehab environment. Starting your sobriety journey without outside distractions or influences is usually the best option for someone who struggles with addiction.

Our treatment center takes a holistic approach to inpatient alcohol treatment and drug rehab. We believe focusing on the body isn’t enough by itself. Instead, we also help care for the mind and soul of each patient.

Treatment for a chemical addiction is never easy, but our rehab center provides the opportunity for patients to manage their stress while staying with us. We offer the opportunity to participate in art classes, yoga and talk therapy (including group therapy).

Many people struggle with mental health disorders, and, in some instances, outpatient programs or residential care is necessary. In rare cases, hospitalization is needed to stabilize a patient so a proper assessment and an appropriate care plan can be created. For example, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder may cause behavioral issues or destructive thought patterns and require hospitalization.

Each treatment program is personalized to the patient. Even among patients with the same diagnosis, no two mental health journeys will be the same. However, family involvement is always highly recommended in all cases as it’s beneficial to those battling mental health disorders.

It’s important to understand that mental health programs are often incorporated into drug or alcohol rehab because the two can be co-occurring disorders. Many people with undiagnosed or untreated mental illnesses turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to self-medicate. The best treatment options in this scenario focus on diagnosing and managing the mental health disorder, detoxing from the substance abused and getting ongoing support for both problems.

An aftercare program provides continuing care after more intensive rehab services. Ongoing support is crucial to remaining sober after receiving treatment in a more intensive form. You can’t “heal” addiction because it alters your brain chemistry. However, you can learn to manage and fight your addiction.

Aftercare programs take many forms. They may include ongoing group therapy or support, like that provided by Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous. Programs may also include medication management, family therapy, relapse prevention, or personal therapy. Behavioral Health Centers can help you or your loved one create the best aftercare program after graduating from a more intensive program.

Veterans are regularly subjected to disturbing situations. They’re forced to make difficult decisions and witness the worst humanity has to offer. Due to the stress of their occupations, veterans often have co-occurring mental issues (like PTSD and anxiety) or battle with drug and alcohol abuse.

Our veteran rehab center is designed to serve veterans, active military personnel and first responders in the ways they need most. Our staff understands the stress of these occupations and is happy to serve those who have served us.
