About SalusCare

SalusCare is a CARF-accredited substance use treatment center located at 3763 Evans Avenue in Fort Myers, Florida, serving residents of Fort Myers and the broader Southwest Florida region. Recognized as a cornerstone of behavioral healthcare in Southwest Florida, SalusCare addresses serious substance use cases with a full spectrum of clinical services, beginning with medically supervised detoxification for those who need immediate intervention before anything else can begin.

The facility offers three distinct levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, and outpatient programming. Medical detox is available for serious substance use cases requiring immediate detoxification services — a critical first step for individuals whose withdrawal carries medical risk. Residential treatment provides structured, around-the-clock care following detox, while outpatient programs allow individuals to continue treatment as they transition back into daily life. This continuum means patients can step through levels of care without changing providers.

SalusCare integrates treatment for co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis alongside substance use care, recognizing that mental health conditions and addiction frequently present together. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the therapeutic methods used in treatment. The facility’s stated mission is to make behavioral healthcare accessible regardless of financial circumstances, accepting Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay, and offering a sliding scale fee structure for those who qualify.

SalusCare serves a notably broad range of populations, including adolescents, young adults ages 18 to 25, women, pregnant women, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and those referred through the court system. Services are available in both English and French. For anyone in Fort Myers or Southwest Florida facing a substance use crisis and needing medically supervised detox as a starting point, SalusCare’s accredited, multi-level program represents a clinically grounded option with flexible payment access.

  • Medical detox on-site for serious substance use cases requiring immediate detoxification before residential or outpatient care
  • Full continuum from medical detox through residential treatment into outpatient — all within one CARF-accredited provider in Fort Myers

Medical Detox at SalusCare: Immediate Withdrawal Management in Fort Myers

For individuals facing serious substance use that requires immediate clinical intervention, SalusCare provides medically supervised detoxification services at its Fort Myers campus. Medical detox is not an add-on at SalusCare — it is an entry point for those whose condition demands it, ensuring that withdrawal is managed under clinical oversight before the next phase of care begins.

Following detox, patients can transition directly into SalusCare's residential treatment program without leaving the provider network. This continuity matters: moving between detox and residential care within the same CARF-accredited facility removes logistical barriers at a moment when clinical stability is the priority. For Southwest Florida residents needing a medically supervised detox program with a clear path forward, SalusCare's continuum is structured to support that transition.

Who SalusCare Serves: Specialized Populations and Dual Diagnosis Care

SalusCare's detox and treatment programs are designed to accommodate a wide range of individuals. The facility serves adolescents, young adults ages 18 to 25, women, pregnant women, individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, and those entering treatment through court order. Services are provided in both English and French, broadening accessibility for Fort Myers and Southwest Florida's diverse population.

Co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis are treated alongside substance use at SalusCare. This integrated approach acknowledges that mental health conditions frequently accompany substance dependence, and that treating only one without the other limits outcomes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is among the clinical methods employed in treatment, providing a structured framework for addressing the thought patterns that contribute to substance use.

Payment Options and Financial Access

SalusCare accepts Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, self-pay, and offers a sliding scale fee structure for those who qualify. The facility's stated position is that financial circumstances should not prevent someone from receiving the care they need — a meaningful distinction in a region where cost is frequently cited as a barrier to entering detox or residential treatment.

Prospective patients or family members can reach SalusCare directly at (239) 275-3222 during office hours — Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM, and Thursday 8 AM to 6 PM. Contacting the facility early in the process allows staff to begin insurance verification and determine financial assistance eligibility before admission.

CARF Accreditation and Program Oversight

SalusCare holds accreditation from CARF International, an independent accrediting body that evaluates substance use treatment and behavioral health programs against established quality standards. CARF accreditation signals that the facility's programs, clinical practices, and administrative operations have undergone external review — a relevant data point for families researching medically supervised detox and residential programs in Fort Myers.

The facility is classified as a substance use treatment center and operates within Lee County, serving the Fort Myers metro area and Southwest Florida more broadly. For individuals and families evaluating detox centers in the region, CARF accreditation provides a baseline measure of program accountability and clinical structure.
