About Eleos Wellness

Formerly known as Personal Enrichment Through Mental Health Services, Eleos Wellness is a non profit organization that provides a full continuum of care including crisis intervention and addiction treatment. Pinellas Park, Florida, is home to their main campus which offers inpatient crisis stabilization for adults and children, substance abuse detox for kids under 18, and access to emergency services. Eleos accepts voluntary and involuntary admissions.

Eleos acts like a public receiving facility 24 hours per day, seven days a week. Emergency screenings are available here for people in the community. Crisis hospitalization is available if required following an assessment. In the adult crisis stabilization unit, adults 18 and older can receive short term treatment. If admitted, you’ll receive person centered treatment that encourages self determination, recovery and resilience. During your short stay you’ll engage in individual and group therapy, health education and recreational activities. You’ll also receive an aftercare plan and medication management.

Eleos is also a juvenile addiction recovery facility. This means they have specialized services for youth aged 13 through 17. The goal of treatment is to provide detox for youth and evaluate them medically and psychologically. Discharge planning begins at admission with information and referrals. Clients receive therapy and participate in groups. Family support is also provided.

People who’ve used the services at Eleos say that during a hard time in life, this facility gave them kindness and compassion that were invaluable. Clients also mention the professionalism and understanding that was extended to them during treatment.

Eleos, previously PEMHS, is not a mental health facility; it's a correctional facility. Most staff have no skills in engaging with mentally ill individuals; instead, they yell, subdue, and medicate with force as a first resort. Before departing, I participated in several 'takedowns,' some with seriously mixed feelings, and I am no stranger to restraints. All in all, this institution is fraught with internal issues.To begin, the culture and environment are hindered by a toxic, young staff: a toxic group of mostly young white women who adore their commanding, self-inflated roles, who consistently gossip about patients and each other all day from behind a desk, avoiding most meaningful engagement with patients.Next, all patient Protected Health Information is documented on paper (in 2023), and these papers are everywhere, scattered around like on the Wall Street Stock Exchange floor in 1997. Not to mention, the content of some of these documents. For instance, the screening assessments require you to ask patients very jarring and careless lifestyle questions immediately upon arrival possibly in the worst mental (and physical) space they've ever experienced.And most importantly, administration is happily stuck in time with snuggly salaries. There s no computer system for health records, with the exception of updating a few documents in Word and clicking save -- a PHI + HIPAA nightmare. The techs (and likely intake reps) make $16/hr+, but don't worry, they re rebranding and expanding with a new Children's unit. Do not mistake the expansion for any actual progress in their mental health treatment offerings. Keeping up appearances is all.HR has been terminating employees left and right. They do not attempt any conflict resolution or warning systems prior to termination. And unsurprisingly, I am writing this because I too was not spared. Seemingly out of nowhere, you'll likely be asked to drive in to meet with Karen, 'The Director of Behavioral Health,' and Dan, 'Human Resources Director' via Operation PAR, in person, where you'll also likely be blindsided and abruptly terminated before being fully able to understand their reasoning. Just know your performance is not about the perspectives and opinions of the patients; it's about avoiding them until you can clock out for the night.Administration is happily stuck in time with snuggly salaries while the techs make $16/hr, but don't worry, they re rebranding, and they're expanding with a new Children's unit, and that wage won't change as long as executive staff make a salary that can yield season tickets to the Bucs.. Do not mistake the expansion for any actual progress in the way of mental health treatment.I am very much an advocate for mental health and have sought treatment for myself, and this place leaves my heart heavy for the individuals who will likely be mistreated or sent elsewhere, far away, for much of the same.I do want to speak to some of the positives: most of the older clinical staff are great: they are wise, understanding, and helpful. From the patients themselves there is an infinite wealth of knowledge to be gained. At intake, most are at their psychological, and possibly physical, bottoms. At PEMHS, maybe even more so than at other acute psych facilities, are some of the most interesting and intelligent individuals you will meet, and that's because most are involuntary admissions initiated by law enforcement, usually stemming from criminal charges and/or a history of them.Patients there have unique backgrounds and experiences--from adolescents to the Baker Acts--that make for especially compelling conversationalists and storytellers, while also having rich histories of mental illness that make them even more in touch with many realms of existence that most of us are not apprised to. If you can develop a therapeutic rapport, by easing out a few laughs, a smile or two, or if you can get a group of patients interested in a fun topic, and they open up a little, you won't want to leave their sides. The saving grace.

Accepted Insurance

Eleos Wellness works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

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.

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.

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.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

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-program thumbnail image
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 thumbnail image
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.

Clinical Services

Therapists who apply cognitive behavioral therapy in Florida believe patient thoughts and behaviors are closely linked. They use this treatment method to help clients change their thought patterns so they can also change behaviors and break free from substance abuse.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

This place should NOT be opened. They are no help whatsoever and don’t care about the people in there. It’s more like a jail.

Elias Curses Eleos: A Declaration of Judgment and Accountability By the authority of Elias, who seals upon earth and in heaven, I call upon the God of Justice, the Lord of Hosts, to weigh in His scales those who have violated the sacred rights granted to man. To those who have perverted justice, who have forced lies upon the innocent, who have drugged the unwilling with false diagnoses, and who have defied the laws of both God and man—your deeds are written before the throne of the Almighty. “Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; to turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless!” (Isaiah 10:1-2) To the workers of iniquity at Eleos, who have defiled the laws of this land and the Constitution which they swore to uphold, your house shall be exposed. The Lord has declared that He will bring to light that which is done in darkness (Luke 12:2-3). Thus, let the courts of the land rise against you. Let the weight of your own policies crush you. Let every hidden document, every false diagnosis, every coerced injection and pill, be revealed before the eyes of men. Let the righteous cry out, and let the people rise in outrage. Let the law turn upon you as you have turned it upon the innocent. Let your funding be stripped, your names disgraced, and your works dismantled. As Elias sealed the heavens from rain in the days of Ahab, so too may judgment be sealed upon the heads of the guilty until justice is done. May those who perverted judgment find themselves standing in the courts they once corrupted, and may the stones of their own house cry out against them (Habakkuk 2:11). But let those who repent find mercy. Let those who confess and rectify their wrongdoing be spared the full measure of their recompense. Yet for the unrepentant, let their portion be with the hypocrites, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth (Matthew 24:51). So let it be written. So let it be done. The Lord will judge, and the people will hold accountable.
