Outpatient Mental Health Care in South Florida

Nearly one in five U.S. adults lives with a mental illness, emphasizing the need for diverse and accessible care options. In South Florida, your treatment options include residential and outpatient programs to accommodate your needs. During residential treatment, you live at the campus where you’re receiving care. Outpatient mental health programs are more flexible, enabling you to reside at home while engaging in treatment.

When you participate in Restore Mental Health’s intensive outpatient program, you might spend several hours per day at our Deerfield Beach treatment center, living at home the rest of the time. Outpatient programs allow you to work and get support from friends and family while receiving the care you need. Plus, our outpatient programs may have evening and weekend availability.

Restore’s team of compassionate professionals is ready to support you wherever you are on your mental and emotional wellness journey. When you enroll in one of our outpatient programs, we help you develop a treatment plan, manage side effects and start living a happier life.

Outpatient Mental Health Treatment Options in Florida

When living with a mental health condition, you may face many of the same issues that affect people with substance use disorders: difficulty finding and keeping work, taking care of yourself and maintaining healthy relationships with friends and family. Structured, long-term care can help you achieve stability with minimal side effects when managing mental health and addiction issues.

Restore offers residential and outpatient treatment programs.

• During residential treatment, patients live on our campus in Deerfield Beach, eat meals cooked on-site and have limited contact with everyday stressors. Taking a break from your commitments and benefiting from a structured, supportive environment can help you achieve more rapid results during treatment. While there’s no specific timeframe for completion, most people are ready for discharge after about a month.
• In an outpatient program, you can live and work wherever you like and make arrangements to meet with a therapist or psychiatrist at times that fit your schedule. This flexible, ongoing care may start after completing a residential program and is ideal for those who don’t need around-the-clock monitoring and support. Outpatient treatment typically offers similar benefits to residential programs but with more freedom.

At Restore, we offer outpatient mental health programs at different intensity levels.

Partial Hospitalization Programs

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a highly structured outpatient program. Patients spend most of the day in active treatment but don’t live at our facility. PHPs are an alternative to residential treatment, with treatment usually running from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on weekdays. Weekend and evening options may be available.

As it may be difficult to balance work and the 25 to 30 hours per week spent in therapy, we recommend your focus is on your recovery during a PHP.

Intensive Outpatient Programs

Patients with mild mental health issues or who have completed a PHP or residential treatment program may be ready to transition to an intensive outpatient program. During outpatient treatments, you typically attend therapy and other sessions three days a week for a total of 15 hours.

Intensive outpatient programs let you ease back into daily responsibilities while getting the support needed to manage your mental illness.

Sober Living and Aftercare

A sober living program might be a destination for those who aren’t ready for all life stressors. Sober living houses aren’t just for those with substance use disorders. These homes provide a supportive environment to help those who’ve completed a residential program adjust to normal life.

At home, old habits and lack of routines can make it hard to maintain progress. Having extra time before moving back can be helpful. By slowly reconnecting with family and friends, you can regain independence, but not at the expense of your recovery.

Conditions We Treat in Our Outpatient Program

At Restore’s South Florida center, your care team may include psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health nurses, counselors and social workers, depending on your treatment plan. Our outpatient program treats many mental health and substance use conditions, including:

What Makes Outpatient Treatment Effective?

An outpatient program gives you a consistent, structured approach to mental health treatment, enabling you to work with a therapist one-on-one and in group sessions while also benefiting from the support of family and friends.

Our program lasts as long as you need it. Longer treatment is closely correlated with extended periods of stability and less risk of setbacks. In addition to our outpatient programs, Restore offers aftercare that gives you the tools you need to reintegrate into daily life.

Seeking Help From Restore

Even with access to quality mental health care in South Florida, seeking treatment can be challenging. While society has become more accepting of a holistic approach to wellness, some stigma still applies to mental illness. It’s tough to admit to friends and family that you might need more help than they can give.

Restore Mental Health’s outpatient program isn’t a substitute for your support network. Instead, you benefit from a community of people who understand the challenges you face. There’s no need to go it alone when you’re struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar or other mental disorders.

If you or a loved one is facing a mental health crisis or needs someone to talk to, we can help. Restore offers both residential and outpatient opportunities for treatment in Deerfield Beach, so you can stabilize with assistance from caring and empathetic mental health professionals.
