About Suncoast Center, Inc.

The Suncoast Center provides outpatient mental health and substance use services in St. Petersburg, Florida for children, adults and families. This CARF accredited center has been operating since 1944. They use a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC) model to deliver trauma informed and recovery oriented care across nine primary offices. This particular location on Central Avenue is one of their outpatient clinics. They accept Medicaid, Medicare and offer sliding scale fees for income based costs. I appreciate that they receive SAMHSA CCBHC grants as well which can help to make treatment more affordable.

Addressing Behavioral Health Comprehensively

Their outpatient behavioral health services offer therapy for anxiety, depression, PTSD and addiction. These services are offered through individual, group and family counseling.

I think it's valuable that they take a whole person approach so you’ll be able to address your substance use together with your mental health. You will be able to build coping skills and resilience through their evidence based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing.

Behavioral Healthcare for All Ages

The Suncoast Center has early childhood services which support families with young children. The program will address behavioral concerns early through in home and school based interventions to promote healthy development. Meanwhile they have substance abuse services for adults and adolescents.

Special Services for Justice Involved Clients and Survivors of Assault

If you have criminal charges related to substance use and need court mandated services, they have a forensic focused outreach program. The program offers jail diversion and transition support while integrating mental health and substance use care.

They also have sexual assault services with a team that provides a 24 hour hotline, crisis counseling, court advocacy and support groups for survivors. This program aims to reduce trauma through compassionate care.

This organization has suicide prevention services as well, part of the Zero Suicide Partners of Pinellas. Screenings and evidence based interventions will be provided to support individuals who are at risk.

Addiction Treatment Programs

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.

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.

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.

Levels of Care

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.
