About IMPOWER

IMPOWER is a nonprofit organization that offers mental health and substance use disorder treatment programs for families, adults, children, and adolescents. The outpatient treatment is via Telehealth. The main office is on North Ronald Reagan Boulevard in Longwood, Florida.

The program accepts some commercial insurance and most of the Florida Medicaid plans. There are some grants available, so if you’re uninsured, be sure to ask about other options.

Bilingual Telehealth Substance Use and Mental Health Services in Longwood

One benefit of the outpatient Telehealth program I think clients will like is the bilingual services. You can receive treatment for substance use and mental health disorders from the comfort and privacy of your own home in the language that works best for you. Telehealth visits allow for flexible scheduling including weekend and evening sessions. You won’t need to worry about missing school or work to attend therapy.

They offer individual and family therapy, medication management, assessments, and psychiatric evaluations. If you need a prescription, the provider will send it electronically or through mail order.

Juvenile Drug Court Partners in Seminole County

Another nice service I noticed they provide is the Drug Court Program through its partnership with the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit. The program is for eligible juveniles and adults. This is a diversion program that integrates substance use treatment providers, judges, and the criminal justice system to assist nonviolent offenders in getting treatment and becoming productive community members.

Getting the Referrals You Need in Florida

If clients need more intensive treatment, they can get the referrals they need from the staff at the Longwood location. IMPOWER has an inpatient adolescent treatment center, The Grove, for youths ages 13-17.

During inpatient treatment, teens participate in group therapy five days per week. They have individual therapy at least once a week and family therapy as appropriate. Teens attend Florida Virtual School while in treatment. All Florida schools accept any credits earned while in the virtual school program. Clients have access to peer support services and attend 12 Step meetings in the evenings. They’ll learn life skills that include healthy eating, budgeting, and how to interview for a job.
