Inpatient Program

Located in the tranquil city of Apopka, Florida, our state-of-the-art hospital spans 100,000 square feet and houses 144 beds across six distinct inpatient units. Each unit is thoughtfully designed for a specific patient population, ensuring that every individual receives age-appropriate and diagnosis-specific care from the moment of admission. 

Apopka is known for its lush landscapes, freshwater springs and serene natural environment, which are qualities that make it an ideal setting for behavioral healthcare. Removed from the noise and stress of busy urban life, our Apopka location creates a sense of calm that supports the therapeutic process and gives patients the space they need to focus on healing. 

Our inpatient program serves children, adolescents, adults and senior adults, with dedicated units for each population. This structure means that patients are always surrounded by peers who are at similar stages of life, fostering a therapeutic community where connection and shared experience become part of the healing process. 

The many features of our hospital include: 

• Modern, thoughtfully appointed patient rooms that promote a sense of calm and normalcy 

• Dedicated spaces for group therapy and recreational activities 

• Community areas that encourage peer connection 

• Secure, serene outdoor areas 

• On-site amenities that support daily routines 

• Safety-focused design elements that prioritize security without sacrificing warmth and comfort 

Every space within our facility has been purposefully designed to ensure that patients have access to all the resources they need while feeling genuinely cared for from the moment they arrive. 

Our hospital is situated in northwest Orange County and is conveniently accessible to residents throughout central Florida, serving individuals from Orlando, Altamonte Springs, Sanford, Kissimmee and surrounding communities.

Mental health challenges can affect anyone at any stage of life. For this reason, we have created our inpatient programming to meet the needs of diverse age groups. 

Children & Adolescents (Ages 5-17) 

Young people who are experiencing psychiatric crises require a level of care that is both developmentally sensitive and clinically appropriate. Our child and adolescent inpatient program provides engaging, age-appropriate care, giving younger patients the support they need in a space that is designed with them in mind. Therapeutic approaches are tailored to resonate with children and teens, and family involvement is strongly encouraged throughout the process.  

Adults 

Our adult inpatient program offers comprehensive psychiatric stabilization for individuals who are navigating a wide range of mental health challenges. Whether someone is experiencing a psychiatric crisis for the first time or has a long-standing condition that has become unmanageable, our clinical team is equipped to provide the intensity of care needed to support both immediate stabilization and long-term wellness.  

Senior Adults 

Older adults often face cognitive, emotional and social circumstances that are different from those of younger populations, and these factors can significantly impact their mental health. Our dedicated older adult inpatient program is designed to address concerns such as grief and loss, late-life transitions, cognitive changes and isolation, all within a specialized inpatient setting that is staffed by clinicians who understand the full spectrum of psychiatric needs that arise in the senior years. 

Our inpatient program in Apopka, Florida, is designed to provide care for individuals who are experiencing symptoms of primary mental health concerns, including: 

• Depression 

• Bipolar disorder 

• Anxiety 

• Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) 

• Psychosis 

• Schizophrenia 

• Schizoaffective disorder 

• Self-harm 

• Suicidal ideation 

For those who are suffering from both a mental health condition and a co-occurring addiction, our team is experienced in delivering integrated care that addresses both concerns simultaneously. We are also able to provide care for patients who are suffering from eating disorders and personality disorders as a secondary concern. 

Please note that our inpatient program is specifically designed for individuals who have primary psychiatric diagnoses. We are unable to provide care for people whose primary diagnosis is a medical disorder, a neurological disorder such as dementia, certain neurodevelopmental disorders (such as autism spectrum disorder) or a primary substance use disorder.
