About Directions for Living – Clearwater
Directions for Living is a mental health treatment facility situated in the heart of Pinellas County in Clearwater, Florida. The clinic seeks to provide outpatient services that focus on recovery from past traumas to residents in Clearwater and beyond.
The facility serves children, families, and adults experiencing behavioral health concerns due to trauma or a history of abuse. These types of situations contribute to a person’s likelihood of developing substance use disorders or behavioral health concerns. The clinic can help patients seeking recovery from long-term grief, depression, anxiety, and more.
One great thing about this clinic is that they accept several types of insurance from Medicaid and Medicare to a Pinellas County Health Plan with a referral from your PCP. Are you uninsured or underinsured? This facility focuses on helping you still get the care you need by working with you to develop a sliding scale payment plan. This plan will be based on your household income levels.
One unique issue this facility tackles is patients who are at high risk for harming themselves or others. Directions for Living utilizes a program called Treatment Works to help patients who are five to 18 years old learn stabilization techniques to prevent injury. The goal of this program is to help these students reenter a public educational environment after treatment. Treatment Works focuses on the entire family unit to help facilitate more successful outcomes for everyone.
The greatest thing about Directions for Living is the impact their treatment programs have on the lives of patients. According to the facility’s 2023 annual report, they personally helped 142 children avoid the eviction process and 13 kids reunite with their families.
