About SouthWest Florida Counseling Center
Southwest Florida Counseling Center in Port Charlotte, Florida is now Elite DNA Behavioral Health. They provide a wide array of services for mental health, behavioral health and addiction treatment. They are an outpatient only facility and do not offer inpatient or residential detox.
The organization does provide medication management services for mental health and addiction treatment medications on an outpatient basis. They have services for all ages with treatment for childhood disorders, parenting and relationship issues and developmental challenges. Health insurance is accepted, but there is a self-pay option for those without coverage.
Convenient Trauma-Based Counseling
Healing from trauma is a focal point for addiction recovery and is treated through Traumatic Incident Reduction, EMDR and other specialized treatment modules. The facility’s services are available in person or through virtual appointments.
Individual treatment action plans are created at the beginning of therapy so there is a clear direction and set of therapeutic personal goals for the client to work towards. Setting these goals allows the individual to see and mark progress in therapy as well. It isn’t just about stopping addictive behavior such as drinking, it is about developing positive habits and behaviors to improve your quality of life.
Additional Treatment Services
Treatment isn’t just about psychiatry here as they offer speech and occupational therapy, applied behavior therapy and other therapies for developmental, cognitive, and neurodevelopmental challenges and conditions. There are also specialized services such as TMS therapy to treat depression.
Outdoor Activities To Support Recovery
There are several great parks and nature trails nearby to walk and enjoy outdoor activities. The Port Charlotte Beach Park has picnic areas, places to fish, man made beaches and even a heated swimming pool. It’s important to find recreational activities to enjoy to support your long-term sobriety.

I love this place, my sons therapist Michael is amazing, my son has ADHD and Michael helps so much with this, not only providing tools for him, but for me as well as a parent navigating ADHD. My son also has anxiety and Michael has been so supportive and patient with him, I’ve seen such a improvement with him…the front office staff is always so nice , Deanna who works the front desk is always there ready with a smile and happy to see us, giving stickers every time we come. She is always so sweet and makes sure we are able to get on Michael’s list and helps with his school times. I highly recommend Elite DNA. Thank you very much Michael and Deanna

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
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.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Clinical Services
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.
