Acute and Sub-Acute Psychiatric Residential Care
Southern Peaks RTC is a licensed psychiatric residential treatment facility for youth ages 10 to 18 with significant emotional, social, behavioral, and psychiatric needs that meet medical necessity criteria. The program offers both acute and sub-acute levels of care, providing a structured, predictable setting for adolescents working toward stabilization and a step down to a less restrictive environment.
Interdisciplinary, Family-Involved Treatment Planning
Treatment is organized around an interdisciplinary team approach, with active participation from the adolescent and family alongside clinical, nursing, psychiatric, and education staff, as well as relevant outside partners involved in placement and schooling. Services include individual, group, and family therapy, social skills development, psychological and psychiatric support, and medical/psychotropic interventions when clinically appropriate.
Trauma-Focused and Experiential Therapies
Clinical modalities include trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). The program also offers equine-assisted therapy and recreation therapy, using hands-on activities to build coping skills, frustration tolerance, emotional awareness, and healthier peer interaction. Co-occurring substance use treatment is available, and medication support may be used when clinically indicated.
School, Life Skills, and Practical Transition Support
Education services are integrated into care, including special academic support aligned with Individualized education programs, credit recovery, year-round schooling, and GED opportunities for qualifying candidates. A structured life skills curriculum focuses on areas such as health and nutrition, money management, housing and home management, and risk prevention. Discharge planning and transportation assistance help support continuity of care after residential treatment.

View all facilities in FloridaHow 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.
