What We Do

Behavioral Health Treatment in Florida by The Wave of North Florida.

Overview of Addiction and Mental Health Treatment

The Wave of North Florida, a premier destination for behavioral health treatment in Florida. Located in the heart of Lake City, our facility provides compassionate and evidence-based care to those seeking recovery from addiction and mental health challenges. With a comprehensive range of programs, a dedicated team of professionals, and a commitment to long-term wellness, we aim to guide each individual toward a brighter, healthier future.

Addiction and mental health issues often intertwine, creating complex challenges that require specialized care. At The Wave of North Florida, we understand that effective treatment must address both conditions simultaneously to achieve lasting recovery. Our approach combines medical, therapeutic, and holistic methods to treat the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.

Our team of licensed professionals is experienced in managing a wide range of conditions, including substance use disorders, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). By utilizing evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care, we ensure our clients receive tailored interventions designed to meet their unique needs.

Programs Offered

Detoxification Program (Detox)

The journey to recovery often begins with detoxification. Our medically supervised detox program provides a safe environment where clients can manage withdrawal symptoms under the care of experienced medical staff. Available 24/7, our team of physicians, nurses, and behavioral health specialists ensure that each client’s transition to sobriety is as comfortable as possible. Detox is the first step toward stability, paving the way for deeper therapeutic work in subsequent programs.

Residential Treatment Program (RTC)

For those requiring intensive support, our residential treatment offers a structured, immersive environment. Clients reside at our facility, allowing them to focus on their recovery without distractions. The program includes individual therapy, group sessions, and activities aimed at addressing underlying trauma, co-occurring disorders, and the development of relapse prevention strategies. This setting fosters a sense of community and accountability, essential components of the recovery process.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our Partial Hospitalization Program bridges the gap between residential and outpatient treatment. Clients participate in a full day of therapeutic activities, including individual counseling, group therapy, and skill-building workshops, before returning home or to a sober living environment in the evening. This program is ideal for those who need a high level of care but are ready to begin transitioning toward independent living.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

The Intensive Outpatient Program offers flexibility for clients who require ongoing support while reintegrating into their daily lives. With therapy sessions scheduled multiple times per week, the IOP focuses on relapse prevention, coping mechanisms, and life skills development. This program empowers clients to maintain their recovery while balancing personal and professional responsibilities.

Your journey to recovery starts here at The Wave of North Florida.

Treatment Options

At The Wave of North Florida, we offer a wide array of treatment modalities designed to address diverse needs:

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions with licensed therapists provide a confidential space for clients to explore personal challenges and develop strategies for growth and healing. These sessions are customized to each client’s goals and progress.

Group Therapy

Group therapy at The Wave of North Florida fosters connection and shared experiences, helping clients build a supportive community. Topics range from substance use education and emotional regulation to family dynamics and communication skills.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns that contribute to addictive behaviors and mental health challenges. This evidence-based approach empowers clients to reframe their perspectives and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT helps clients regulate emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and practice mindfulness. This therapy is particularly effective for individuals dealing with borderline personality disorder or intense emotional responses.

Trauma-Informed Care

Recognizing the impact of past trauma, our trauma-informed care approach ensures a safe and supportive environment for clients to process and heal from their experiences.

Relapse Prevention Therapy

Relapse prevention strategies are integrated into every aspect of treatment, equipping clients with tools to recognize triggers, manage cravings, and maintain long-term sobriety.

Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapy offers a refreshing approach to treatment by integrating enjoyable activities into the therapeutic process. It helps clients build essential life skills, reduce stress, and foster connections with others.

Life Skills Therapy

Life skills therapy goes beyond traditional clinical treatment, empowering clients to regain control over their daily lives, develop healthy routines, and cultivate resilience in the face of adversity.

Aftercare and Alumni Program

Recovery is an ongoing journey that extends beyond initial treatment. At The Wave of North Florida, we prioritize aftercare planning to support clients as they transition back into their daily lives. Each client receives an individualized discharge plan that may include referrals to outpatient care, support groups, or sober living arrangements. Our Alumni Program ensures that clients remain connected to a supportive network long after they leave our facility. Regular events, peer support groups, and check-ins provide a sense of community and accountability, helping clients sustain their recovery and build fulfilling lives.
