About Eleos Wellness and Support

Eleos Wellness and Support, formerly Personal Enrichment Through Mental Health Services, is a nonprofit mental and behavioral health care provider in Largo, Florida. The organization has been an integral part of the Pinellas County community since 1981, providing compassionate, comprehensive care for individuals and families. The center is CARF accredited, indicating a commitment to exceptional service.

Comprehensive Individual and Family Support

At the organization’s Palm Way campus, individuals and families have access to a broad spectrum of services that can help them overcome various challenges. That includes behavioral and mental health care services, like counseling, as well as wraparound care to support people in meeting additional needs, such as housing and food.

Every client is paired with a case manager who designs a custom treatment plan and shepherds them throughout their journey. That’s really valuable since many people with substance use problems face additional challenges and may find it daunting to navigate the system and locate resources on their own. This exemplifies Eleos Wellness’ holistic approach to care. They want to help people thrive, not just survive.

Integrated In-Home Behavioral Healthcare

Another of the organization’s offerings is their Behavioral Health Network program. Open to kids and teens aged five to 19 who aren’t enrolled in Medicaid, it provides intensive in home and outpatient treatment for young people with severe mental and behavioral health challenges. It can be difficult for people facing such significant hurdles to find a provider, so this is really great.

As with other Eleos programs, this one is customized to each client’s needs. They make sure patients have access to everything they may need, from medication management and counseling to academic and social skills support. Another highlight of this program is that they offer specific services like trauma therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy for young people who’ve encountered violence, neglect, or abuse.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Outpatient Programs (OP) 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.

Treatments

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.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.

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.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

This is place is great!

Only made my condition worse. DO NOT BRING YOURSELF OR ALLOW YOUR KIDS TO GO TO THIS FACILITY. Hi, I was a patient who was very recently there and I’m thankful that I made it out alive. This place only made my condition a hundred percent worse than it was when I was admitted, I don’t understand how this place is supposed to help people and make them feel better. You are treated like an inmate in prison instead of a patient in need of care. The staff treat the patients with extreme rudeness. I don’t see how they are supposed to be mental health care workers. They never check up on the patients and see how they are doing, they only get annoyed when a patient is struggling or needs something that they can’t access themselves. One patient was waiting for the nurse to give her her medicine after it being 20 minutes since she was supposed to take it, and the nurse was fighting with the patient about it despite the fact the patient wasn’t being rude at all. The workers took the nurses side and said “do you people think you are in some 5-star resort?” as if the patients don’t deserve care or respect. If you sleep out in the common area/unit, like I did, the workers who watch over you have no regard for the fact you are supposed to be sleeping. They all talk and laugh extremely loudly, play loud music or videos from their phones or computers, slam doors, etc. After not being able to sleep for a whole 42 hours and being denied the ability to take a nap after hitting the 24 hour mark, when I was finally granted the permission to sleep at 11 PM I was woken up every hour until 6 AM due to the workers being extremely loud and inconsiderate of their surroundings. The place is extremely dirty and unsanitary. I couldn’t bring myself to use the bathroom for 3 days because of the conditions of the bathrooms. I was put on a cot in the middle of the common area/unit instead of being given a room, and it was basically like sleeping on the ground. The ground was covered in whoever knows how old gunk, the floors that are supposed to be white were a light gray color. If you are on the suicide/SI watchlist, you are basically denied basic human rights. You are not allowed to sleep in a room and are forced to sleep on a cot on the ground in the middle of the common are/unit. You’re not allowed to have a sweater despite the fact they keep it extremely freezing cold in the building, my body could not stop shaking during the first day of me being there because I couldn’t contain the temperature. You’re also not allowed to go outside with all the other patients even though you are under 24/7 supervision. They mix adults and kids together, along with females and males. This makes it an extremely uncomfortable environment, it also makes it hard to tell who’s an adult and who’s a kid. If an adult is talking to a kid (even if the kid approached them first) the adult will get yelled at and punished for doing so. The place is extremely depressing, all the walls are colored a very muted blue and there are barely any pictures or positive affirmations on the walls. It’s just muted blue brick walls. There is nothing to do other than sit and watch TV all day. They say every morning that they plan on doing activities and games with the patients but never do. Rarely do you get the opportunity to color. If you plan on checking yourself or your child into a mental hospital, please don’t do it here. I came here with the expectation that I would be helped and there would be someone I could talk to, and I wasn’t even given proper human rights. This place needs to be investigated and shut down, as it doesn’t seem legal in the slightest. This place made me change my mind on every wanting to check myself into a mental hospital and reaching out for help again as I refuse to put myself in this situation again where I am spiraling into a mental psychosis with nothing but people who couldn’t care less about my condition around me. Find a private mental hospital where people will actually care about doing their jobs and genuinely want to help you or your child

I was in there last night, I got there at 9pm, they didn’t fully check me in until 12am, then when I said this isn’t fair and started calling everybody out they threatened to use force, strap me to a bed, and use a needle to put me to sleep, made me sleep on the floor on a pallet, I was crying obv and they told me to cry myself to sleep?? The whole staff there are unprofessional, they are constantly rude to dying teens, and over all a bad place I can’t wait to see this place get shut down for good NOBODY go here.
