The Mature Adult Program

Anxiety, depression, grief, and loneliness often manifest as psychiatric disorders in mature adults. Combined with medication misuse or alcohol, one can plunge quickly into isolation and depression. Central Florida Behavioral Hospital has developed a unique inpatient program designed specifically for mature adults who suffer from mental health or dual diagnosis disorders.
