About HCA Florida Fort Walton-Destin Hospital

HCA Florida Fort Walton-Destin Hospital is a hospital-based behavioral health and mental health treatment program in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, offering inpatient psychiatric care, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient services.

Located on Mar Walt Drive within a 331-bed acute care hospital, the program, I've found, serves adults in inpatient care and patients ages 12 and older in outpatient services in a safe, private environment.

Acute Care for Youth and Adults 12 and Older

Treatment often begins with a comprehensive evaluation through the on-site Psychiatric Treatment Center, a 48-bed inpatient unit divided into two acute care units for adults age 18 and older.

From there, patients can step down into a partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP), including the S.A.I.L. adolescent program, which I've learned is for ages 12 to 17.

Clients can expect individualized treatment planning, individual and group therapy and approaches such as CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, accelerated resolution therapy and trauma informed care.

ECT is also available when clinically recommended, and outpatient services include in-person and virtual therapy options.

Amenities

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Business Center

Business centers are a preferred amenity in many mental health and addiction recovery facilities and typically feature secure, high-speed internet, computer stations, printers, and related business technologies. Business centers are designed to enable professionals and students to continue to participate in work or school activities without leaving the treatment facility.

Addiction Treatment Programs

Teen & Adolescent Program

Young adults often develop addiction for different reasons than older individuals. That’s why a young adult program in Florida focuses on the unique pressures, needs, and challenges faced by young adults.

Adult Program

Treatment at an adult program in Florida addresses the needs of each individual as they work toward recovery. Programs are designed for men and women ages 18 and up, and include a variety of treatment protocols to match the severity of the addiction, type of substance, and personal situation.

Alcoholism

Each alcohol rehab in Florida offers unique amenities and approaches, but most follow the same general guidelines. Treatment includes detox, rehabilitation, and maintenance. This is a proven approach to provide the greatest results for long-term recovery.

Men's Rehab

Gender-specific addiction treatment gives men who are struggling with substance use disorders a connection point to other men with similar struggles. This common ground can make a huge impact on men’s rehab in Florida.

Women's Rehab

Often, women who have a substance use disorder also have a co-occurring disorder. Women’s rehab in Florida often addresses both the addiction and mental health disorder with dual diagnosis treatment.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive behavioral therapy in Florida helps people in treatment to revisit painful thoughts and memories and learn new ways to cope with them. These newly-learned techniques replace substance use and help the individual maintain sobriety.

Drug Rehab

Florida residents who are struggling with substance abuse don’t have to face their challenges alone. Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome addiction and make a full recovery.

Senior Drug & Alcohol Rehab

If you're over the age of 65, elderly rehab in Florida gives you the opportunity to be in a treatment program with your peers. This tends to be helpful for older adults because they can receive mutual support and acceptance from their peers. These programs are specifically designed for seniors.

LGBTQ Friendly Rehab

Rehab For Veterans

Veteran’s rehab in Florida offers programs for alcohol and substance use disorders specifically for Veterans. Treatment focuses on the needs of this population that differ from others, such as combat trauma and adjustments to civilian life.

Inpatient Rehab

Inpatient drug rehab in Florida allows you to receive round-the-clock supervised care while living at the facility. A combination of treatment interventions is typically offered, including individual and group therapy, nutritional counseling, experiential therapies, and medication management.

Outpatient Rehab

Outpatient rehab in Florida focuses on relapse prevention and long-term recovery. It typically includes several counseling sessions per week as well as membership in a support group such as NA or AA. This treatment can last several weeks or several months, based on your ongoing needs.

Dual Diagnosis & Mental Health

If you are struggling with both an addiction and a mental health disorder, treatment for dual diagnosis in Florida is necessary for successful recovery. This multidisciplinary approach treats both substance abuse and co-occurring disorders such as bipolar disorder, eating disorders, depression, or anxiety.
