Lifeskills Orlando provides residential treatment for adults with complex mental health and co-occurring disorders. Their program can address anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder (BPD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, psychosis, behavioral addictions, and co-occurring substance use concerns, while using low client-to-staff ratios and real-time support to guide care.

Match Care to Clinical Needs

Treatment uses specialized clinical pathways, psychiatric care, and therapies matched to each client’s symptoms, history, and goals. With support from doctoral- and master’s-level clinicians, clients can work on emotional regulation, distorted thought patterns, trauma responses, substance use triggers, daily routines, relationships, and practical skills. Care can shift as symptoms change, helping treatment stay connected to each client’s progress and stability needs.

Recover in a Homelike Orlando Setting

The Orlando residence offers a homelike environment in downtown Orlando with 24/7 staff support and low client-to-staff ratios. Clients can take part in recreation and social integration activities such as art therapy, writing, hiking, eating at local restaurants, and other community-based experiences. These activities add structure, connection, and practice while helping clients apply treatment skills outside formal clinical sessions.

Continue Care After Stabilization

Lifeskills Orlando is part of Lifeskills’ broader Florida continuum, helping clients plan next steps after residential care. Depending on clinical needs, clients may step down to another Lifeskills level of care, coordinate outpatient services, join alumni programming, or continue recovery planning with support for routines, relationships, family needs, and independent living.

Choose a Clinical Pathway
Lifeskills Orlando uses distinct pathways to organize care around each client’s diagnosis, symptoms, and progress. Care may emphasize acute psychiatric support, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), perception management, trauma treatment, substance use recovery, metabolic fitness, or social integration as symptoms and goals change.
Practice Skills in Real-Life Settings
Practice Skills in Real-Life Settings
Orlando’s Social Integration Pathway helps clients move treatment skills into everyday situations. Through guided community experiences, recreation, life skills training, and real-time support from professionals, clients can practice independence, communication, emotional regulation, and decision-making before returning to home, work, school, or community life.
Address Complex Psychiatric Symptoms
Address Complex Psychiatric Symptoms
Lifeskills Orlando is designed for adults who need more structure than a typical outpatient setting can provide.
