My stay at Pehms was okay I guess. My intake specialist was friendly but kind of mean and rude and I felt like she didn t really care about me as a patient. The nurses were okay I guess. Doctor seemed nice. I m glad they addressed that I ve had a lot of struggles with my mental health as that s been a problem for several years. I felt there was a lack of consideration for my physical health. The food was not healthy at all. Barely any vegetables. They seemed more concerned about the information I could give them regarding what helps me cope or who helps me cope rather than actually helping me with my mental health struggles. But I have to say I m grateful for the care that I did receive there. The staff were friendly enough and did the best they could within their ability to help me through my mental health crisis.

I would like to thank Yamalee for all her help and support. So many situations have happened within the last two months which caused me to fall so far behind. I was told about this source of help through a friend and It was the best decision to call. Yamalee answered all my questions and out her all in to help me. She was very guiene and showed much concern about my situation and advised me on other things to help me as I move forward. I appreciate and thank her so much. May you be blessed for all you do for others. Thank you.

During a particularly difficult period in my life, the kindness and compassion I received from a PEMHS were invaluable. My casework Amber went above and beyond to ensure I felt supported, treating me with dignity and respect throughout the process. She listened attentively to my situation, providing not just information but also emotional reassurance that I was not alone in my struggles. PEMHS timely assistance and practical resources helped alleviate some of the burdens I was facing, allowing me to regain my footing. The genuine care they showed made a significant impact on my journey, reminding me of the importance of community and support in times of need. I m in so grateful for all their support and assistance!

Location

Accepted Insurance

Personal Enrichment Through Mental Health Services (PEMHS) works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

Treatments

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
child-program thumbnail image
Child Program
The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.

Clinical Services

Therapists who apply cognitive behavioral therapy in Florida believe patient thoughts and behaviors are closely linked. They use this treatment method to help clients change their thought patterns so they can also change behaviors and break free from substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Some great techs but some should be ashamed. Wonderful nurses but avoid this place at all cost!!!! I was released and they drove me to the next spot for my issue with Bi Polar and they also drove three other people only to be told there wasn't room for us so they left us STRANDED in a not great area of St. Pete. Everyone just started walking, weak from medications and a hospital stay. Shame on this place. What they did was awful. The discharge person who did that was named Linda. She should be fired. She cares little about anything other than her paycheck and I'm grateful I could make other plans after being dumped. Others with me did not have a plan. I wonder how she sleeps at night??

This is not a mental health facility; it's a correctional department. Most staff have no skills in engaging with mentally ill individuals; instead, they yell, subdue, and medicate with force as a first resort. Before departing, I participated in several 'takedowns,' some with seriously mixed feelings, and I am no stranger to restraints. All in all, this institution is fraught with internal issues.To begin, the culture and environment are hindered by a toxic, young staff: a toxic group of mostly young white women who adore their commanding, self-inflated roles, who consistently gossip about patients and each other all day from behind a desk, avoiding most meaningful engagement with patients.Next, all patient Protected Health Information is documented on paper (in 2023), and these papers are everywhere, scattered around like on the Wall Street Stock Exchange floor in 1997. Not to mention, the content of some of these documents. For instance, the screening assessments require you to ask patients very jarring and careless lifestyle questions immediately upon arrival possibly in the worst mental (and physical) space they've ever experienced.And most importantly, administration is happily stuck in time with snuggly salaries. There s no computer system for health records, with the exception of updating a few documents in Word and clicking save -- a PHI + HIPAA nightmare. The techs (and likely intake reps) make $16/hr+, but don't worry, they re rebranding and expanding with a new Children's unit. Do not mistake the expansion for any actual progress in their mental health treatment offerings. Keeping up appearances is all.HR has been terminating employees left and right. They do not attempt any conflict resolution or warning systems prior to termination. And unsurprisingly, I am writing this because I too was not spared. Seemingly out of nowhere, you'll likely be asked to drive in to meet with Karen, 'The Director of Behavioral Health,' and Dan, 'Human Resources Director' via Operation PAR, in person, where you'll also likely be blindsided and abruptly terminated before being fully able to understand their reasoning. Just know your performance is not about the perspectives and opinions of the patients; it's about avoiding them until you can clock out for the night.Administration is happily stuck in time with snuggly salaries while the techs make $16/hr, but don't worry, they re rebranding, and they're expanding with a new Children's unit, and that wage won't change as long as executive staff make a salary that can yield season tickets to the Bucs.. Do not mistake the expansion for any actual progress in the way of mental health treatment. Keeping up appearances..I am very much an advocate for mental health and have sought treatment for myself, and this place leaves my heart heavy for the individuals who will likely be mistreated or sent elsewhere, far away, for much of the same.I do want to speak to some of the positives: most of the older clinical staff are great: they are wise, understanding, and helpful. From the patients themselves there is an infinite wealth of knowledge to be gained. At intake, most are at their psychological, and possibly physical, bottoms. At PEMHS, maybe even more so than at other acute psych facilities, are some of the most interesting and intelligent individuals you will meet, and that's because most are involuntary admissions initiated by law enforcement, usually stemming from criminal charges and/or a history of them.Patients there have unique backgrounds and experiences--from adolescents to the Baker Acts--that make for especially compelling conversationalists and storytellers, while also having rich histories of mental illness that make them even more in touch with many realms of existence that most of us are not apprised to. If you can develop a therapeutic rapport, by easing out a few laughs, a smile or two, or if you can get a group of patients interested in a fun topic, and they open up a little, you won't want to leave their sides. The saving grace.
