About Honey Lake Clinic
Honey Lake Clinic is a residential treatment center specializing in primary and co-occurring mental health, behavioral health, and substance use disorders, offering deeply personalized care rooted in both clinical excellence and Christian faith. Treatment programs typically span 30 to 90 days of residential care, giving clients the time and space needed for genuine, sustainable healing.
Integrate Evidence-Based and Faith-Based Healing
At Honey Lake Clinic, healing happens at the intersection of trusted science and deep spiritual care. Every client receives care from a board-certified Christian psychiatrist, licensed therapist, medical, wellness, and spiritual care professionals. Each treatment plan is thoughtfully customized to the client, addressing the emotional, psychological, relational, and spiritual dimensions of healing. This blend helps clients understand what is happening inside them and gives them tools meaningful change.
Heal in a Setting Designed for Restoration
Set on over 450 acres of pristine Florida landscape, Honey Lake’s resort-style campus is designed to regulate nervous systems, restore balance, and recharge depleted reserves. The natural environment encourages healing, whether walking along the water, connecting with therapy horses, or finding quiet moments of reflection. Amenities for active wellness and deep rest include a fitness center and personal trainer, pool, sauna and hot tub, pickleball, kayaks, massage therapy, and outdoor spaces for meditation and prayer.
Stay Supported Long After Residential Care
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment ends. Honey Lake creates a personalized aftercare plan for each client, so they leave the clinic with clarity, structure, and steady support for the next season of life. Ongoing follow-up can include therapy, multiple weekly video groups, check-ins, and faith-centered encouragement such as devotions and pastoral care. Honey Lake helps clients protect their progress, recognize warning signs early, and move forward with confidence.

Supportive Medication for Recovery
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT
This center offers MAT, but does not list specific medications for treatment. Contact the center for details for specific MAT medications.
Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
