This 80 bed psychiatric hospital treats substance abuse and a wide variety of psychiatric conditions. South Seminole accepts insurance and offers a CarePayment program that provides a no interest line of credit with flexible payment options.

Treatment at South Seminole addresses a wide variety of mental health challenges, from depression and bipolar disorder to schizophrenia. They also provide care for addictive behaviors that stem from drug and alcohol abuse.

Dual diagnosis is when two or more mental health concerns present themselves simultaneously. It is very common for those who struggle with addiction to also have an underlying mental health concern such as anxiety, depression, or a diagnosable psychiatric disorder. Without proper treatment of the mental health issue at hand, getting and staying sober can be difficult. By treating both the substance use disorder and the mental health needs concurrently, a greater chance for long term sobriety is achieved.

To begin the process, a psychiatric evaluation is completed. Throughout the program, pharmacological management, individual therapy, family therapy, and marital support are offered. Treatment of adjustment disorders, anxiety disorders, mood disorders, and psychotic disorders is available. These services can be administered in an inpatient setting, outpatient setting, or clinical office.

Staff at South Seminole know that family involvement is an important element of long-term success. Clinical social work services serve to help families cope with the effects of mental health and substance abuse challenges. Ensuring the family unit understands the complexity of addiction and the mental health issues impacting their loved ones increases the likelihood of success upon leaving treatment. It also allows families to receive the support they need.
