About SalusCare

SalusCare - Evans Campus, located in Fort Myers, Florida, is one of those behavioral health centers that really impressed me from the start. They offer a full continuum of care for children, youth and adults impacted by the negative effects of drug and alcohol abuse. They’ll treat you with residential care, outpatient care or if you need an inpatient center to detox safely. They offer medication assisted treatment for their detox service, too. They are a dual diagnosis center and treat anyone with related mental health conditions that stem from their drug or alcohol use. Their residential program offers a short term option in a 20 bed coed environment, and their Transitional Care Program operates in a 14 bed women’s transitional house and a 16 bed men’s transitional house.

Their programs for youth focus on the individual, helping them with emotional regulation and anger management. These two lessons can be very helpful with children and young adults. They also offer individual therapy, group therapy and family therapy. You’ll also benefit from vocational and educational skills training.

I met with Dr. Aho for six months to one year during a transitional period in my life. She kept me "homeostasis" on my previous regimen of meds, which I appreciated because I felt that the meds were working for me. She does not seem to promote radical changes, and takes a "let's see how this works or goes" approach. Diagnoses could have been more accurate.

Location

Accepted Insurance

SalusCare 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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Therapy Services consist of voluntary therapy and counseling, in both individual and group settings, for those with a mental health or substance abuse diagnosis. Before beginning outpatient therapy, an assessment must be conducted to determine the appropriate level of care. After the assessment, a clinician will review your treatment options and work with you and your family to find the best possible option. Outpatient Therapy is provided at the Evans Campus, Ortiz Campus, and Cape Coral Campus.
inpatient iconInpatient
Clients typically choose inpatient rehab when they are in early recovery or are experiencing a crisis that puts them at an increased risk of relapse. They reside at the treatment center for the length of their program, which may range from two weeks to more than 18 months, depending on the program design. Intensive psychotherapy is often the primary treatment modality, but clients in inpatient care may also receive holistic treatment and recovery-focused life skills training.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) involve frequent and robust therapeutic sessions for clients requiring high-level care. Clients may engage in a combination of medication assisted treatment (MAT), addiction counseling, recovery skills training, and holistic therapies for a minimum of nine and a maximum of 20 hours per week. Intensive outpatient rehab is designed primarily for persons in early recovery, those exiting detox or inpatient care, and those at an elevated relapse risk.
sober-living iconSober Living Homes
The TLC (Transitional Living Center) is a 16-bed co-ed substance abuse residential treatment program for adults utilizing an intensive, therapeutic and educational program, emphasizing individualized treatment. This program emphasizes family and other interpersonal relations, which are necessary for a healthy recovery. SalusCare residential treatment programs are also equipped to address co-occurring mental health diagnoses. For more information, contact the Transitional Living Campus.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Detoxification Services is an inpatient 29-bed facility, under the direction of a physician, and serves adults undergoing acute withdrawal from alcohol and/or drugs. Detoxification Services are available 24/7 in the only detoxification facility in Lee, Glades, and Hendry counties. Duration of care ranges from 3 to 10 days, depending upon the severity of the withdrawal symptoms. Our facility is located near a major hospital, which is available for any critical physical complications. Located at the SalusCare Evans Avenue Campus.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome dependency related to a wide range of addictive substances. Programs address both the physical and mental aspects of addiction in order to help you make a full recovery.

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.

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Programs

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.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
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.
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.
postpartum-program thumbnail image
Postpartum Program
The postpartum period is a sensitive time, especially for women in addiction recovery. Rehabs with specialized programs for new mothers will offer compassionate, personalized care to meet each client's needs as they transition from pregnancy to this season of life. Care teams may include obstetricians, pediatricians, and social workers working collaboratively to give women, children, and families a healthy future.

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.

Group therapy provides a safe and supportive environment for people in Florida who are struggling with drug addiction. There you can openly discuss the challenges and progress you're making without fear of judgment from your peers who experience many of the same things you are.

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.

This was my experience with them in 2023: DO NOT let them pair you with Stephanie Drafts Pellegrino. She literally spoke to me for 40 minutes (our first meeting) and immediately said i was full blown manic because I was talking a lot (I m sorry i thought that s the whole point of meeting with you??). She prescribes me the highest dose of Risperidone to treat my so called bipolar but almost exactly 4 weeks after i began taking it, I experienced full body spasms and had to immediately go to the ER because i thought i was or was about to have a seizure. Jump to the present day, multiple medical professionals agreed and i had a full psychological test done that turns out i don t have bipolar but ADHD coupled with Anxiety and depression. In their mission to not over diagnose ADHD (in reality they don t want to prescribe the medication to treat it) they misdiagnosed people and pump them full of antidepressants and antipsychotics like Risperidone.Stephanie nearly killed me due to her incompetence by diagnosing WAY too quickly and prescribing the wrong medication at WAY too high a dose. I don t even fully blame her as I m sure this is how Saluscare as a whole is run and for that Dr. Aslam, the CMO in charge of overseeing everything related to treatment, is responsible.

Extremely frustrated with this office. I arrived before my appointment and noticed the front desk was engaging with another patient, so I quickly used the restroom, and that same patient was finishing up when I walked up to the counter. It was still before my scheduled appointment time by about 5 minutes, but check-in failed because they marked me as a no-show.. what? Was I supposed to push the other patient out of the way? I was still there before my scheduled time so there s no valid reason to be told to have a seat as a walk-in when I waited 2 months+ for this appointment. Completely ridiculous.

SalusCare has come a long way! I'm my opinion, their facilities (granted from what I've seen) has improved immensely over the years. The vast range in treatment options has continued to grow... in an attempt to help curb the growing troubles in society.If you're serious about your Recovery, and you're ready to make a change, I would recommend this place. It may not offer the higher end amenities that others may have, however, amenities should be the least of your concerns if you're looking for longterm change.I have great respect for those working here... and many I know can attest to the same. Keep up the work!
