About Emerald Coast Behavioral Hospital – Panama City
Located in Panama City, Florida, Emerald Coast Behavioral Hospital is an impressive substance misuse and mental health clinic. They have multiple locations, but their main campus houses an 86 bed inpatient psychiatric hospital and an outpatient center. This allows them to offer multiple levels of care, ensuring treatment options regardless of outside commitments or the severity of addiction. They also operate three outpatient centers throughout the Florida Panhandle, but here, I’ll focus on their main campus.
Emerald Coast Behavioral Hospital provides services for children, adolescents, and adults. Their Child and Adolescent Programs are designed for individuals aged 4 through 17, addressing various mental health issues. For this level of programming they offer both inpatient and outpatient care. Therapy options include individual therapy, family counseling and group therapy. They also provide educational support along with holistic approaches.
For adults ages 18 and older, their Adult Programs offer both inpatient and outpatient care as well. They provide similar therapy programs, including individual and group counseling, family therapy, and holistic support. They use medication management and cognitive behavioral therapy as well to ensure that you receive the best possible care during your time in treatment.
What really stood out to me is that they offer unique services for military members and veterans. They address conditions like PTSD and other dual diagnoses, focusing on trauma that may contribute to addiction. Their program is designed to help build resilience, which in turn supports long-term sobriety and reintegration into daily life. They also offer family counseling and aftercare services to facilitate a smoother transition back to civilian life.
