I will be coming forward with a detailed story of my time in this prison and how what they are doing is completely illegal and not okay. But for now, I am leaving this review so hopefully if any family members of anyone who knows people in this facility sees this, they can go save their people. I have a passion to help people and I was hopeful that they could help me here as well but they are putting people's lives in danger, ones who really need and want help. Instead of help you are given more trauma and not able to speak to a therapist even though the website made it seem that they would work with you to find the source of your addiction so they could help you but all I saw was them replacing people's addictions with drugs/nicotine that are "less" dangerous. Addidction is addiction no matter the substance, you can't find recovery by replacing a substance with another substance. Regardless of any of that, they lie about everything, nothing on the website is accurate and there are no activities or therapy sessions. They will hold you in there until your insurance money runs out or you leave and call the police for help. I was so kind to the staff and they still refused to help me or let me use their phone to call my mother. Instead they said I could walk in the dark to the Ihop down the road and ask them to use their phone. So I put myself in more danger, though it was much less scary outside in the dark then in that place anyway. I called the police at Ihop and they said they are out there a few times a week because of this. They helped me get my phone and all of my belongings back and thankfully I am safely back home now. What they are doing is not okay!!! Do not send anyone you love or care about here please!!!!!!!! The staff will also lie to the families and not allow them to talk to you so they make sure no one comes to rescue these people. It's terrible and beyond heartbreaking.
This place is horrible. They just keep you here for the money and insurance. They do not care about patients and will hide your rights from you. They should be charged with imprisonment for the way they denied patients from leaving. They have taken my cash, property, and dignity, and they will do it to you and your loved ones, too. I would have gotten better treatment in prison. Please do not choose this sad excuse for a rehabilitation center.

Thank you for your feedback. We take your concerns seriously. Please contact us at 866-552-6557 to address your concerns directly. We would love to speak more on the concerns you have identified.
My daughter was just came home from treatment at Lakeview/Stepping Stone! After a very long struggle with alcohol, as a family we gave her an ultimatum to go to this facility for treatment. She was very reluctant and it took ALOT of persuasion but she finally committed to going. I ve struggle with finding the appropriate words to describe this experience for my daughter as well as our family. From the very moment I reached out to Tommy to the minute I called the facility to pick her up we had the absolute BEST CARE! My daughter has described the staff as being ANGLES ON EARTH !! These wonderful people saved her life!!! It took a lot of courage for her to commit to this as she was leaving behind a baby and a husband. She said the minute she stepped inside the door her anxiety went away. The staff was genuinely there to help her recovery. There aren t enough good words to describe my gratitude for everyone at Lakeside/Stepping Stone. My daughter has made life long friends. Miss Janice was her favorite. What a wonderful facility. Thank you!!

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient programs are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare. The outpatient rehab level of care at Lakeview Health is all about being accountable for yourself and setting goals that provide focus for working on a recovery and aftercare plan. Patients continue with group therapy, individual therapy, and medical and psychiatric appointments as needed.
Medically Assisted Detox They offer something unique: a fully accredited, licensed, professionally staffed, medically monitored detox facility right at their Jacksonville campus. They provide custom designed, physician-approved detox procedures supervised around the clock by medical professionals dedicated to your recovery. Their doctors and nurses provide immediate treatment in case problems arise, administer therapies and medications to alleviate severe withdrawal symptoms, and collaborate with therapists to form the first stages of your long-term, personalized recovery plan.
Intensive Outpatient Instensive Outpatient programs are for those who are stepping down from the inpatient level of care at Lakeview. Individuals will continue to participate in programming on-campus and will live at the provided apartments off-campus. IOP is a very structured treatment program that allows individuals to continue with programming and begin to develop some independence. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Lakeview Health is the level of care between our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and discharge. The intensive outpatient program at Lakeview Health is all about developing personal accountability, setting long-term recovery goals, and building an Aftercare plan to help you transition from treatment to everyday life.
Inpatient The Inpatient Rehab Program at Lakeview Health is the level of care between their Detox and Residential Treatment programs. At the inpatient level of care, you live on campus in semi-private rooms – men in The Star and women in The Rose – and receive at least six hours of structured therapy per day. Additional recovery groups, exercise, wellness activities, and social support meetings round out your schedule. The Residential Treatment Program at Lakeview Health is the level of care between our Inpatient Rehab, Partial Hospitalization (PHP), and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs.
Aftercare Support One of the unique qualities of Lakeview Health is that they offer ways to ensure that patient’s recovery continue to be successful after leaving their campus. Staying sober can be a challenge and having the support of professionals and fellowship with others in addiction recovery can go a long way. Their Alumni Services include resources to help patients manage their recovery and stay connected with their peers from Lakeview Health. They also offer resources for families to help them support loved ones receiving treatment at their facility.
24-Hour Clinical Care At certain points in the recovery process, it's important to have support available 24/7. 24-hour clinical care offers a safe environment in which to recover from drug or alcohol addiction in peace, knowing medical detox and other treatment will happen with professionals on hand.
Intervention Services Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
12-Step 12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Sober Living Homes Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug rehab in Florida provides quality treatment to help individuals overcome dependency related to a wide range of addictive substances. Programs address both the physical and mental aspects of addiction in order to help you make a full recovery.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction. One of the types of experiential therapy featured at Lakeview Health is the unique practice of equine therapy. employs the EAGALA Model Equine Assisted Psychotherapy in working with patients struggling to let their guard down, helping them uncover their strengths, learning how to take responsibility for their choices and actions, realize their obstacles, and practice new skills. This entire experience is enhanced by the inclusion of horses, which they interact with and learn from.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional “talk therapy” by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing. Building the confidence to live life in sobriety takes time. Patients in IOP at Lakeview Health are able to participate in experiential therapy, which includes surf therapy and equine therapy. These groups are optional.
EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. A three-day family workshop is part of their gender responsive treatment program at Lakeview Health. Like all of their treatments, it’s based entirely on the most current, evidence-based best practices. They’re committed to helping the families of their patients mend their relationships, and their staff is handpicked to ensure the best quality of care.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
At Lakeview Health, they understand past trauma and know how to help you deal with it. They follow guidelines established by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for best practices in trauma-informed care. Their team creates an atmosphere where you can explore, understand, and process your past trauma. They help you understand how the sum of your life experiences add up to where you are now, and teach you the coping skills you need to move forward and break the painful cycles of substance abuse and mental health disorders. The gender-responsive facilities allow women and men completely separate facilities to begin to heal.
