About SalusCare, Inc – Fort Myers
At its Colonial Campus in Fort Myers, Florida, SalusCare Inc. runs a 30 bed adult drug use crisis stabilization unit and a 16 bed children’s unit. They offer safe, inpatient mental stabilization for people who need the most attention and who might endanger themselves or other people. Those receiving care here may come voluntarily and undergo an evaluation to determine their suitability for admission, or they may come via law enforcement as required by the Baker Act.
After being approved for admission, individuals go through an initial admissions process. Following completion, the patient is admitted to the unit where they will collaborate with the treatment team to stabilize the current crisis, complete a physical examination and see a psychiatrist.
Patients can engage in group activities while receiving care, and they can collaborate with a designated discharge planner to make a smooth transition back into the community. Housing arrangements, an outpatient schedule and other services deemed necessary may be part of these plans.
They are licensed by the Central Florida Behavioral Health Network Inc. They receive some funding from the Florida Department of Children and Families. The majority of their mental health and drug abuse programs are accredited by CARF.
No one is denied because they cannot afford services. Most major health insurance plans are accepted, and they offer most services on a sliding fee scale based on household income. No matter what kind of disability someone has, they offer services to everyone. Accommodations are provided upon request. They provide hope and healing to almost 16000 adults and children in Southwest Florida annually.
