I cannot find the words to express how wonderful Lotus Behavioral Health was for my child. We had tried other programs without success. Then, we were referred to Lotus and from the moment we arrived, I was moved by the amount of compassion and caring that the staff had for us as a family. It took some time and work to get to a point of recovery, it was worth it. If you ever find yourself needing these kinds of services, don't waste any more time. The staff at Lotus is amazing and will work with you to help your child. I cannot thank them enough for getting us through a really rough time.

This was the last rehab facility I ever attended after going in and out of treatment centers since I was around 15 years old. Out of all the facilities I've experienced, Lotus was by far the best when it came to providing genuine care, effective treatment, and a true understanding of what individuals are going through. The staff treated me with respect, compassion, and professionalism, and they created an environment where real healing and growth could take place. The support I received helped me gain the tools and perspective I needed to move forward in my life. I would highly recommend Lotus to any parent whose child is struggling with addiction or other serious challenges. If you're looking for a facility that truly cares about its clients and is committed to helping them succeed, Lotus is a place worth considering.

Lotus Behavioral Health is an excellent treatment center if you have a teen struggling with addiction. Instead of seeing this as a setback or obstacle, LBH turns this issue into an opportunity to educate our teens on the dangers of addiction and how to become better, responsible people. My son returned a changed and improved young man. He was open to the program, which is important if you want this to succeed.

Lotus provided wrap around treatment and acceptance for my teen when I was not able to help him at home. We are so grateful for the progress he made while he was there. He can be a handful, and they approached his individual needs with care and compassion in a safe environment. By the time my teen was discharged, he truly cared for each and every one of the staff and leaving was bittersweet.

I'm so incredibly grateful for Lotus Behavioral Health. The staff was truly amazing—caring, supportive, and professional every step of the way. The group therapy sessions were not only helpful, but also enjoyable for her , creating a space where she felt safe, heard, and understood. The other kids were kind and encouraging, and the therapists were outstanding—compassionate, skilled, and truly invested in each teen's growth. I'm beyond happy with the progress and commitment my teen has shown since starting there. She has grown into a stronger, more self-aware, and confident individual. Thank you, Lotus, for helping my teen become the best version of herself:)

What a wonderful experience! Thank you to the caring people of Lotus for loving our family through a tough time. Every single staffer interacted with our teen in a fashion that helped him think about things differently. Every. Single. Person. Our teen loved the experience there. We could not recommend this facility highly enough. Thank you, Lotus.

My teen has ADHD, OCD or DMDD. Can Lotus help?
Yes. We see it all the time in teens who use substances. Learn more about ADHD and substance use.

02Teen Admissions
What happens after I call Lotus?
We start with a short family interview and check your insurance benefits at the same time, then plan admission, with a tour if you'd like. Here is what to expect.
How fast can my teen be admitted?
Every family is different, but we move as fast as you are ready to, once insurance is verified. See how admission works.
Do I need a referral to get my teen into treatment?
No, you can call us directly. TRICARE does require a referral from your primary care manager.
Can we tour Lotus first?
Yes, by appointment, and Saturday tours are possible too. You can also see photos of our campus.
What if my teen refuses to go to rehab?
Call us. We can connect you with a trusted outside intervention partner and share tips on how to talk with your teen.
Call us. Many teens come to Lotus after a psychiatric hold like the Baker Act, and we'll talk through next steps with you.
03Insurance and the Cost of Teen Treatment
Does Lotus take insurance?
Yes, most commercial plans, including UnitedHealthcare/Optum, Aetna, Cigna and TRICARE. Call us and we'll check your coverage for free.
What if Lotus is out of network with my plan?
We'll check your out-of-network benefits for you and explain your payment options before you decide anything.
Do you take Blue Cross Blue Shield or Florida Blue?
Not in network. Lotus is out of network with Blue Cross Blue Shield and Florida Blue, but we'll check your out-of-network benefits and walk you through your options.
My insurance won't cover it. Are there other options?
Through weekly family therapy and your teen's treatment team. You help shape the treatment plan from the start, and medication changes are always discussed with you and need your approval.
05Daily Life in Residential Treatment
Can my teen have their phone?
No. Phones are stored safely, and before discharge a clinician goes through the phone with your teen to remove contacts and posts that could lead back to use. Here's what the first week looks like.
Will my teen see a therapist every day?
Your teen has group therapy every day. Individual and family therapy happen every week.
Will my teen fall behind in school?
No. Teens do about two hours of proctored virtual learning a day, and the credits count toward graduation.
What do teens eat?
Three fresh, catered meals a day, eaten together, with vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and kosher options. A dietitian meets with teens who have food or diet needs.
06Length of Stay and Aftercare
How long is teen residential treatment?
Usually 30 to 90 days, based on your teen's needs and progress, not a fixed calendar. Read more about how long rehab lasts.
What happens after residential treatment?
Most teens step down to PHP and then IOP with the same team. IOP is in person, three afternoons a week.
What's in place when my teen comes home?
Before discharge, we set up primary care, psychiatric and therapy follow-up appointments. Your family also builds a relapse prevention plan with your teen in the last weeks.
