Frequently Asked Questions

Is there any free or low-cost mental health treatment available in Ocala?

Ocala residents can access immediate mental health support through the 988 Crisis Line or Marion County’s Mobile Crisis Response Team (800-539-4228). For ongoing outpatient care, facilities like SMA Healthcare provide affordable local services. However, residential programs like ours at Mark Behavioral Health typically require insurance or private payment, though we offer complimentary insurance verification to clarify your coverage options.

Our facility in Lantana, FL, is approximately a 3-hour 40-minute drive from Ocala via I-75 South and Florida’s Turnpike. Alternatively, flying from Orlando International Airport (MCO) to Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) takes about 45 minutes gate-to-gate. We provide complimentary airport pickup services to simplify your arrival.

Can the Florida Baker Act force me into a mental health facility?

Under Florida’s Baker Act, individuals can be involuntarily committed for mental health treatment if they’re deemed a risk to themselves or others. Mark Behavioral Health, however, only accepts voluntary admissions. Our residents choose treatment willingly to actively engage in their recovery.
