About

About Solstice Health and Wellness

Solstice Health and Wellness operates an integrative outpatient addiction medicine practice at 1219 South East Avenue, Suite 204 in Sarasota, Florida. Rather than functioning as a residential rehab, Solstice delivers comprehensive outpatient care that combines addiction treatment with primary care, mental health, and lifestyle wellness services within a single coordinated setting. The practice is structured around a biopsychosocial model the team calls Multisystem Health Coordination.

Addiction services include outpatient alcohol detox and medication-assisted treatment using buprenorphine, Suboxone, Sublocade, Brixadi, and Naltrexone/Vivitrol. Patients can also receive treatment for co-occurring anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, and PTSD without referring out of network. The harm-reduction-oriented medical practice extends to emerging substances such as kratom and to medical conditions like high blood pressure and heart disease, recognizing that physical health and recovery are intertwined.

Founder and Medical Director Dr. Frank Melo brings dual board certifications in addiction medicine and family medicine, along with prior experience as Medical Director for federally licensed opioid treatment programs and multilevel behavioral health programs. Care plans are individualized, evidence-based, and continuously coordinated across medical, behavioral, and wellness disciplines.

Solstice currently operates on a self-pay basis. Patients can schedule via 941-330-9797 or the contact form, and many initial inquiries are exploratory rather than commitments to start treatment. Virtual care is available for patients who prefer or require remote visits, and the practice serves a broad adult population, including veterans, pregnant women, and those with HIV/AIDS needing integrated medical support.
