About
About Willough at Naples
Originally opened in 1983 as The Willough at Naples, the facility on Tamiami Trail East in southern Naples now operates as Axiom Behavioral Health under new ownership while continuing its long-running mission of inpatient psychiatric and addiction care. The 87-bed mental health hospital is accredited by The Joint Commission and serves adults across southern Florida, with referral patterns extending into the Miami, Fort Myers and broader Collier County markets.
The core of the program is its dual diagnosis service line, designed for adults 18 and older who present with substance use and a co-occurring mental health condition. Clinical work integrates evidence-based therapies, group and individual sessions, structured medication management, family sessions, nutrition education and relapse prevention planning so that psychiatric stabilization and addiction recovery progress together rather than being handled by separate teams.
Dedicated programming includes detox for drugs and alcohol with medical monitoring through withdrawal, an adult psychiatric program for clients whose mental health symptoms drive the admission, and a prescription drug rehab track for people whose dependence began with medication management for chronic conditions. The hospital model means a higher level of nursing and physician coverage than is typical at a freestanding residential rehab, which is part of why dual diagnosis cases that require acute psychiatric stabilization are a particularly good fit.
The campus has explicitly preserved its history under the Willough name while rebranding to Axiom Behavioral Health, with the website framing the transition as new ownership and a renewed promise rather than a new program. Prospective patients searching for either name should land on the same Naples facility, and admissions can confirm current insurance acceptance, intake procedures and inpatient bed availability by phone.
