    Building a Continuum of Care for Patients in Crisis​

    At The Wave of North Florida, we understand that hospitals and emergency departments are often the first point of contact for individuals facing a behavioral health or substance use crisis. That’s why we partner with hospitals across North Florida and South Georgia to create a seamless path from acute care to long-term recovery.

    Our Lake City-based treatment facility specializes in addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. We provide medically supported detox, evidence-based therapies, and personalized treatment plans to help patients achieve sustainable recovery. Whether your team is looking for a trusted referral partner or exploring options to reduce readmission rates, The Wave offers a reliable, responsive, and compassionate extension of your care team.

    A safe haven for healing, growth, and a fresh start.
