WhiteSands Treatment Fort Myers

WhiteSands Treatment, based in Fort Myers, holds Joint Commission accreditation and cares for people with substance use disorders, including those who also have co-occurring disorders. Treatment starts with detox at the facility, then moves into residential care, followed by an intensive outpatient program and a partial hospitalization program. Every plan is built around the individual's specific needs and the underlying issues connected to their drinking or drug use.

Clinicians draw on evidence-based methods, cognitive behavioral therapy and eye movement therapy among them, plus holistic offerings like art therapy and hypnotherapy. Most clients take part in four to five individual or family sessions weekly. A life skills piece helps people set goals they can actually reach and build steadiness in work, relationships, health, and recovery.

Grounds here feature gardens, a fitness center, a spa, plus recreation spaces, giving people a comfortable place for the early work of recovery. The center treats both men and women and cares for a variety of co-occurring conditions.

Covering the cost of treatment

You can pay WhiteSands Treatment directly at its cash rates, and the center also contracts with many insurance plans across the public and private spectrum. No one can tell you your share of the bill from the plan name alone, so the center reviews your benefits and confirms them with you first. Our helpline can find out whether detox, residential, or outpatient care at this location falls under your coverage.
