Still Mind Florida

Still Mind Florida treats a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, generalized anxiety, panic disorder, social anxiety and phobias, bipolar disorder, PTSD and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The team also cares for people with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, psychotic breaks and drug-induced psychosis.

Other conditions treated include borderline and narcissistic personality disorders, body dysmorphia, intermittent explosive disorder, self-harm and suicidal thoughts, and process addictions such as gambling, gaming, shopping and internet use.

A typical day includes about six hours of group therapy, along with daily living goals, catered meals and time outdoors. Each client has a weekly 60-minute individual session, and family therapy is added when it is clinically appropriate. The average stay is around 42 days, but length of stay is based on progress, and each person's level of care is reviewed every two weeks.

Therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), EMDR, cognitive processing therapy (CPT), psychoeducation and medication management. Creative and holistic options such as psychodrama, music therapy, art therapy, mindfulness meditation, yoga, nutrition and fitness, and life skills training round out the program. On-site brain mapping and TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) are also available.

A board-certified psychiatrist is on-site on weekdays and on call 24/7 on weekends. Clients who need one-to-one safety monitoring see the psychiatrist every day.

Clients live in shared rooms within residences of about 3,000 to 5,500 square feet, with catered meals three times a day, an open snack bar, laundry service, green space and off-campus outings that are earned through progress. Service animals are welcome.
