We offer various residential mental health services, including crisis stabilization, a trauma-informed care approach, group therapy, and more.
Mark Behavioral Health provides one program type: Residential Mental Health Treatment.
Residential mental health care is the most intensive type of treatment. It requires you to check into a residential facility.
It is typically for mental health patients who live in unsafe homes, have serious behavior problems, or whose mental health is suffering to the point they can’t function in daily life.
Residential treatment is best when outpatient services aren’t enough to meet a patient’s needs or don’t work.
Mark Behavioral Health provides a wide range of residential treatment services to offer a well-rounded approach to care. These include the following.
Crisis stabilization and de-escalation are short-term psychosocial techniques for reducing potential damage to a person affected by a crisis. Crises are overwhelming events such as violence, divorce, the discovery of a severe illness, or the passing of a family member.
Trauma-informed care (TIC) is a human service approach that assumes a person is more likely than not to have a history of trauma.
TIC embraces recovery and healing environments rather than services and practices that could inadvertently re-traumatize.
One-on-one therapy takes place between a licensed mental health professional and a patient. The goals of psychotherapy are relief from symptoms, improved quality of life, and to maintain daily functioning.
You may want one-on-one therapy if you want a closer relationship with a mental health professional or your mental health issue is highly personal (i.e., it revolves around an issue that happened in childhood that you can’t or don’t want to talk to others about).
Family therapy helps family members support each other, better understand each other, and deal with challenging situations.
This type of therapy can help a wide range of family members, including brothers and sisters, parents and children, cousins, aunts and uncles, partners, as well as caregivers and other professionals who are close to a family member or members.
Group therapy is when one or two therapists work with several clients simultaneously.
Therapy or peer support groups typically have a minimum of 12 members and meet for one to two hours weekly. The support group leaders and members sit in a way that lets each person see everyone else, such as in a circle.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based therapy model that helps people learn and use new strategies and skills to build lives they love.
It involves teaching patients two strategies: acceptance and change. Acceptance teaches patients that their behaviors and experiences are valid, while change teaches them that they must make changes to regulate their emotions and move forward.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment that has been shown to be effective for depression, alcohol and drug issues, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, and other mental health issues.
Numerous studies have shown that CBT can lead to significant improvements in quality of life and functioning. In some cases, CBT can be as effective or more effective than psychiatric medications and other types of psychological therapy.
Sexual abuse therapy helps people who have experienced sexual assault and abuse.
There are several types of evidence-based sexual abuse therapy:
Grief therapy helps you through the grieving process after a major loss. It is also known as bereavement counseling when helping someone dealing with the loss of a loved one.
Here’s what grief therapy could include:
Psychoeducation is a standard therapy program for people with schizophrenia.
It aims to empower patients and their families by teaching them about schizophrenia and the available treatment options.
Nutritional counseling is a supportive process where a nutrition expert or dietician gives tailored dietary guidance. This treatment aims to help people plan healthy meals and build a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.
Nutrition counseling is helpful when anxiety, depression, and medical treatments (including antidepressants) for treating such disorders lead to unhealthy eating habits, causing nutritional imbalance or weight problems.

No. Like addiction and other diseases, mental illness can’t be cured. But, treatments can help people recover and learn to manage them long-term.
Low-income families in Florida can get mental health treatment by reaching out to a state-funded Florida mental health program.
Eligibility criteria depend on the program and service you want, so you must call the program for more details. The Florida public mental health system focuses on the following groups:
The Florida Mental Health Act of 1971, or the Baker Act, allows families to provide emergency mental health services.
People can use this Act when their loved one has lost self-control and is likely to inflict harm on others or themselves due to their mental illness. If the person with mental illness meets all of the requirements in the Act, their loved ones can help them get admitted into a mental health facility for up to 72 hours.
