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.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

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.

check iconDual Diagnosis

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 iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

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.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

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.

It was absolutely terrible I had to wait almost 5 hours in the waiting room while the nurses were gossiping and laughing during it all,and the beds were as hard as stale bread.the beds in the waiting room we're way better and when I had actually been checked in the staff were already yelling at me and I was provided no pillow.the staff didn't care at all as we had no group and were just forced outside,we did no therapy at all and the staff just put on tv.the other kids helped me better than the staff.and when a kid was having a panic attack all they did was booty juice them,but Samantha I believe her name was,was the only one who cared as she came up to me personally to check on me,but for the rest of the staff especially the old one with red hair they should be ashamed of themselves as this was supposed to "help" it only made things worse and gave me more trauma you guys should shut down honestly you don't deserve to be open,There were so much more like when I first got there all the staff were rude and gave everyone attitude, like when I asked when phone calls were she said well calll you whem its time and to stop asking questions.and they created a very uncomfortable envierment.i wasnt even giben my clothes that my mom dropped off for me and then they got mad that i disnt have cloths it was only until vusitiing when my mom confronted the nurse that they gave me my cloths and there excuse was that it wasnt labled even after my mom repeadely told them who it was for,overall please dobt sebf snyone here because how did the officer do a better job then you its absolutely shamefull and i hope you guys close down

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!

Very unhappy with saluscare I had an appointment scheduled for March 26 2024 I shoe up and my doctor wasn't there and this happened several time. So they tell me I have to do a walk in so that following Monday I did, and still wasn't seen I deserve the best Care and I felt I wasn't getting that at saluscare. So I changed to a new mental health facility.

Salus Care/Genoa Pharmacy are pretty good. They help people in need, with low/no income, substance dependence, & without prejudice.The people are pretty nice, (although 'some' have their days) lol.Overall, if you're in need of any help, do not hesitate, as you'll be very welcome here!
