Who We Treat

At North Port Behavioral Health, we provide comprehensive care for adolescents ages 13-17, adults ages 18-64, and separate programming for older adults age 65 and older.  

Our treatment options can help patients who are suffering from various mental health concerns, including: 

  • Bipolar disorder 
  • Depression 
  • Anxiety 
  • Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 
  • Psychosis 
  • Suicidal ideation 
  • Self-harm 
  • Schizophrenia 
  • Schizoaffective disorder 

We are also able to provide customized care for individuals who are struggling with co-occurring addictions, including addictions to substances such as: 

  • Alcohol 
  • Opioids (e.g., prescription painkillers, heroin, etc.) 
  • Benzodiazepines (e.g., Xanax, Ativan, etc.) 

Customized Programming

At our behavioral health hospital, we recognize that all patients respond differently to treatment. We know that things such as one’s age and stage of life can impact their therapeutic experience. For this reason, we offer tailored inpatient services specifically for adolescents, adults, and senior adults.

Additionally, our hospital is broken up into several units so that staff can care for groups of patients who are struggling with similar concerns. These units include: 

  • Mood disorders (e.g., depression, anxiety, etc.) 
  • Thought disorders (e.g., psychosis) 
  • Dual diagnosis (primary mental health, secondary addiction) 
  • Geriatric (specifically for older adults) 

While in our inpatient program, patients may receive medication management services and basic medical care. They can also expect to participate in group therapy sessions, and they have the option to take part in family therapy sessions on an as-needed basis. 

Most patients remain in our inpatient program for seven to 10 days. However, some patients may stay for longer or shorter periods of time depending on their specific needs and the progress they make while in the program. 

Compassionate Staff

Everyone on our staff is dedicated to providing high-quality behavioral healthcare that meets each patient’s specific needs. We believe that every patient should be given the opportunity to work with compassionate, caring, and highly skilled staff members who respect them and really want to make a difference in their life. 

Our staff consists of team members from diverse backgrounds who have specialized training in various areas of mental health and addiction treatment. Examples of the types of professionals who provide care at our North Port, Florida, hospital include: 

  • Psychiatrists 
  • Psychologists 
  • Social workers 
  • Counselors 
  • Recreational therapists 
  • Behavioral health technicians
