SalusCare – Grand Avenue

About SalusCare – Grand Avenue – Fort Myers, Florida

Located in Fort Myers, Florida, SalusCare is a behavioral healthcare facility serving the Southwest Florida community. They offer a residential treatment program called the Transitional Living Center for adults recovering from addiction. They also have a transitional care program which is a longer residential program.

During the short term residential program, clients can receive treatment that targets co-occurring disorders. It’s common for individuals who have a substance use disorder to also have a mental health disorder.

Treatment for co-occurring disorders will focus on treating both mental health and substance use disorders at the same time. Talk therapy approaches that may be used to help you include dialectical behavioral therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. These approaches focus on adjusting thoughts that hinder your recovery and developing coping skills that can help you manage better.

In the longer residential program, you’ll stay in either a 14 bed women’s or 16 bed men’s transitional house. You’ll get the experience of living in a home life environment while pursuing education and employment and also continuing to receive treatment. They require you to meet specific income requirements and contribute a portion of your income toward your care to continue living in the residence.

SalusCare is not far from restaurants and shops in downtown Fort Myers, Florida. As you transition to an independent lifestyle, you can start looking for fun things to do in town. You can sit and enjoy a relaxing day at Centennial Park or visit the IMAG History and Science Center.
