Mental Health and Substance Abuse Resources in Florida



Hello lovely people! It's been a while since I've made a blog post. I think I just haven't had much inspiration lately but, while I was at work I was thinking about how hard it is to find resources for mental health and substance abuse. It can seriously be very difficult when either you or your loved one is trying to find help, I don't know why but they don't make it easy. Not to mention, a lot of resource hot lines or lists will have old referrals whose numbers aren't even working numbers anymore or just don't give you a good selection.
So if you or your loved one live in Florida, I thought it would be super helpful to create a list of resources for those needing mental health or substance abuse treatment. It's hard enough already for a patient to realize they need to seek professional help and spend more time and energy hunting down resources or for a loved one to do the same.

Since I work in the health care field, I thought this would be something anyone may be able to use or just spread the word. I've spent loads of time looking into places so far, but I'm posting this list for now, with the intent on adding more and more resources as I find them, so this list definitely is not complete. If anyone has any additional resources, I would love to hear about them in the comments and add them to my list. :)

- Lots of love,

Sammi
