La Amistad - Adult and Outpatient

Located just north of Orlando, La Amistad Behavioral Health Services helps people with mental health and substance use issues. They offer residential treatment for adults only, while their day treatment (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are available for both adults and teens. A dedicated program for active-duty military members and veterans addresses concerns like trauma and mood disorders, addressing the root cause of challenges while actively involving family in care.
Patients receive individual, group, and family therapy, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and trauma-informed care, with approaches like prolonged exposure (PE) therapy. These approaches help clients develop coping skills, reframe negative thought patterns, and reduce emotional distress. Methods like recreational therapy, art, wellness activities, and equine therapy support healing in both mind and body.
La Amistad’s peaceful campus includes private and shared rooms—many with in-room bathrooms—and offers nutritious meals daily. Patients can relax in indoor lounges, enjoy outdoor spaces, and take part in recreation like swimming and volleyball. Separate spaces for outpatient and residential programs maintain structure and create a focused environment for each stage of recovery.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

La Amistad - Adult and Outpatient offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.
