One Campus With Multiple Levels Of Care

Charlotte Behavioral Healthcare brings substance use and mental health services together on its Punta Gorda campus, helping people move between levels of care without starting over somewhere new. Programming serves adults as well as children and adolescents, with family therapy available as part of care when appropriate.

24/7 Crisis Stabilization and Withdrawal Management

For urgent situations, the campus includes crisis services with around-the-clock assessment and stabilization for mental health and substance use crises. Adults also have access to medically supervised withdrawal management (detox) and a residential rehab program, with clinical and medical support alongside group therapy, education, wellness groups, and family support. The residential recovery center sits in a quieter, scenic setting on the larger campus and includes options like yoga and meditation.

Opioid Treatment Program With Medications for Addiction Treatment

As a certified opioid treatment program, Charlotte Behavioral Healthcare provides medications for addiction treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder, including buprenorphine and naltrexone, paired with counseling and relapse-prevention planning. Medication support for alcohol use disorder is also part of services. Recovery philosophy includes both SMART Recovery and 12-step support, giving people more than one framework to stay engaged.

Wraparound Support for Life Outside Treatment

Care extends beyond counseling sessions with practical support that helps people stay connected to recovery. Services include discharge planning and continuing care, recovery coaching and peer support, housing services, help accessing social services, employment counseling or training, naloxone and overdose education, and transportation assistance. Specialized programming includes court-connected services (such as drug court and mental health court), community-based intensive support through assertive community treatment, and a peer-run drop-in center for people living with severe and persistent mental illness.

Quality and Trust

A

Trust Score

A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities

CARF reviews rehab programs to make sure they provide respectful, effective, and personalized care. For addiction treatment, CARF uses standards developed with the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), so this accreditation shows the program follows trusted, evidence-based guidelines for treating substance use.

SAMHSA-certified Opioid Treatment Program

This is a federal certification for programs that offer medication like methadone or buprenorphine to treat opioid addiction. It means the center is legally approved to provide this care, follows strict safety rules, and combines medication with counseling to support long-term recovery.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
