Focus

This center treats mental health conditions and co-occurring substance use. You receive collaborative, individualized treatment that addresses both issues for whole-person healing.

At Sylvia Brafman Mental Health Center, people find hope and healing for challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and other mental health conditions. Offering day treatment (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and optional sober living, the center meets clients wherever they are in their recovery journey. Their small, non-institutional, and focused approach gives clients the attention they need to feel truly seen. Care is built on 5 distinct avenues of treatment that work together to support the whole person. Clinical therapy helps untangle the roots of mental health struggles, while medical oversight brings safety and balance. Emotional healing gives space to process pain, spiritual exploration offers meaning and purpose, and life-skills development equips clients to thrive in the real world. Clients spend their days in PHP or IOP programs, receiving expert mental health care, and can choose sober living housing if they want added support after hours. The environment is designed to feel welcoming and human—not like a hospital. Weekly outings, like beach days under the Florida sun or summer movie nights, bring lightness and connection into the recovery journey. Finishing a 90-day program is a huge accomplishment—but it’s really just the beginning. At Sylvia Brafman, each person leaves with a personalized plan that can include therapy, support groups, medication management, and regular check-ins with professionals. The goal is simple: to keep the progress going strong and make daily life feel more manageable, one step at a time.
