Lotus Behavioral Health

Lotus is a great place! It was our child's first time in a rehab facility, so we have nothing to compare to, but he had a good experience. They do group sessions two times a day, and individual therapy once a week (but could be more as needed I think). Family therapy too. It was an emotional experience sending our child there, but we did feel he was safe there and well taken care of. They do have quite a bit of free time(of course a bht/therapist/admin always present), for good or for bad. I know they are encouraged to use it well. They have around 1 arranged activity every day, like dog therapy 🥰, yoga, and music lessons (my child loved this part), horse therapy field trips etc. Your kid will beg you to bring them home but stay strong, they will learn a lot there even if they say they want to come home and don't like it. It is an "open door" facility which is nice because...

I cannot say enough positive things about Lotus Behavioral and their inpatient adolescent program. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was struck by the incredible attention to detail in their setup and the cleanliness of the facility… it’s clear they prioritize a safe and supportive environment for their patients.

Having worked in the mental health and substance abuse field for over 10 years, owning my own mental health program, and having my own personal journey through these struggles, I have a unique perspective on what it takes to create a truly impactful program. What stood out the most to me, beyond the impressive program itself, was the heart and passion of the CEO. You can tell that he genuinely cares about the work being done here, and that passion trickles down to his team. Everyone I encountered exuded warmth, empathy, and a true dedication to...

My son was at Lotus for a little over two months and greatly benefited from the experience.
It was surrounded by a loving and caring staff, to an extent that could not reasonably be expected.
It may have been a life-changing experience for him and we are deeply grateful to everyone at Lotus.

When considering the impact of Lotus, the quote, “A team is only as good as its leader” comes to mind. In that vein, I don’t think you can truly understand Lotus until you know its leader and Executive Director, Gary Hazy. I worked with Gary for eight years and have known him for ten years. During that time, I have personally experienced Gary to be kind and compassionate while also being a tenacious leader. When it comes to doing what is right and best for kids, Gary has high expectations for himself and his staff. He does not accept excuses but is also there to support you every step of the way.

Unfortunately, I do not work with Gary any longer. However, I checked in with him when I heard a hurricane was forecasted to hit Orlando. It was no surprise to me to hear that Gary was at work with the kids and staff riding out the storm. Although all he had to sleep in was his...

As a volunteer for lotus , I can not say enough about the commitment and dedication of all the volunteers and employees of this non profit organization in pursuit of their mission .In 2023 alone nearly 100 children between the ages of 12 to 17 were treated for addiction to deadly substances and saved from self destruction . In this year nearly 500 thousand dollars of free or subsidized care was provided by this group to disadvantaged families desperately seeking treatment for their children . I am proud to volunteer my time and participate in this wonderful non profit organization

Lotus Behavorial Health has changed the lives of many adolescents in positive ways. I have seen families who did not know where to turn that have chosen Lotus to take the wheel and intervene when they thought they have tried everything to help their child. Families have stated that they are so grateful that Lotus could turn the lives of their child back around and they can start to live again with a new look on life without the use of substances.

Our family couldn't be more grateful to Lotus Behavioral Health for the support and care they gave us during a challenging time. My child felt encouraged and heard during her counseling sessions and developed strong bonds with so many staff members. From one mom to another, I felt that I made the right choice with Lotus. I never worried for one moment about the safety of my child or the integrity of Lotus. There will always be peaks and valleys in life and we are very thankful that Lotus was with us during this valley.

The difference I see in my son is indescribable. The staff at Lotus has done absolute wonders in helping him get back on the right track, and consistently work toward being the best version of himself that he can be. The day we arrived at Lotus, he was angry, hurt, confused…the day we left, he told me he’d miss it there. His therapist did wonders for him and his mental health, staff members gave him parting gifts, some asked for permission to stay in contact so as to be a mentor and positive role model in his life…I could go on and on. Lotus changed our lives forever, for the better. I thank God for this place and would recommend it to anyone looking to help their child find the beauty in themselves that they so often bury deeply, for whatever reasons they may have. I will never be able to thank them enough.

Was an amazing help for my mental health

Working at Lotus Behavioral Health is a rewarding experience. The organization truly prioritizes the well-being of both its clients and employees. It's fulfilling to see the positive impact we have on our clients' lives and families.

The staff was so loving and wonderful for our child, Michele, Markus, Leslie, Jennifer, Lourdes, Nadine, Christina, Randy, Gabe. Thank you for the love you gave our child.

I am extremely grateful for the help they offered my daughter through the difficult time we were facing. They build her spirit, gave her confidence, guidance and provided all the tools she needed to succeed in her recovery. She build a strong bond with Hailey her therapist which played a big part of her journey!
Thank you so so much for taking a chance on my kid

Helped my daughter get clean. Very supportive for family.

What an amazing place. Helped our teenage daughter, through her hardest time, the staff is amazing and attentive, always communicative and going the extra mile to ensure everything goes well. Clean place and even greater program and schedule. Yes our daughter had to work hard and her program but it takes effort not just from the staff alone. I would highly recommend Lotus!

I've been working at Lotus Behavioral Health in Orlando, FL for a while now, and I have to say, it's a great place for teens struggling with drug and alcohol addiction. The staff genuinely care about the kids and work hard to create a supportive environment. The program is well-structured, focusing on both recovery and personal growth. I've seen firsthand how youth can turn their lives around here with the right guidance and support. If you're looking for a place that truly cares for your child, Lotus is worth checking out.

As a retired employee from Lotus Behavioral Health All I can say is, this is a wonderful place where your kid will be safe and taken care. very professionals and trust worthy. they do focus on making your kids get better and make them feel more secure and happy about themselves. Only thing I would said as a negative and NOT FROM LOTUS but more from ourselves is, You want to see a difference and get better? YOU HAVE TO BE READY FOR THE CHANGE and trust me, Lotus will make your life better. make sure you come with the right mentality so you can get the best treatment. Lotus Behavioral Health is a life changing place and will benefit your whole lovely family. Dont be afraid, im a father too and even tho I retired from this job 7 months ago I still take my kid here sometimes to spend time with the staff since they will treat your kid like is family.

Give it a chance, is never...

I cannot find the words to express how wonderful Lotus Behavioral Health was for my child. We had tried other programs without success. Then, we were referred to Lotus and from the moment we arrived, I was moved by the amount of compassion and caring that the staff had for us as a family. It took some time and work to get to a point of recovery, it was worth it. If you ever find yourself needing these kinds of services, don’t waste any more time. The staff at Lotus is amazing and will work with you to help your child. I cannot thank them enough for getting us through a really rough time.

So grateful to work with Janelle and the team at Lotus who always put the best interest of the teenager first! The facility is also very nice and serene, providing an excellent place for healing.

I am very impressed with Lotus. This is a very warm, welcoming and structured facility.

Seeing the allocation I can say that it’s a beautiful place to start your healing!!! The atmosphere brings out hope to overcoming substance abuse with a comprehensive team that focuses on understanding and wellness!

Hi Lotus Team.

I appreciate the opportunity to be apart of a professional and compassionate community that’s helping the children of our future.

Lotus is one of very few organizations that put the safety and well-being of their youth and employees above all. They have helped many troubled young men and women overcome diversity in their life's and provide them with the tools to become productive citizens.

Lotus is an incredible facility. I've witnessed the warm-hearted kindness of their staff. Heather will work relentlessly to keep your child safe and sober.She has a genuine love for every child that walks through those doors. It's not just a job to these people it's a calling. As a parent I know the fear, anger and confusion that comes when we can't help our own children and Lotus takes that away. They know what you go through and they go through it with you. They give your child the confidence to succeed and you the peace of mind to rest easy. They are on it-24/7!

If you are seeking treatment for your teen, I have to tell you how very impressed I am with the level of care at Lotus Behavioral Health. The staff is professional, understanding, and supportive. The facility is clean, and comfortable, and provides a safe environment for recovery. The treatment programs are well-structured and tailored to meet your teen's individual needs. The therapy sessions are incredibly helpful, and the overall program will be instrumental in your teen's journey to sobriety. I highly recommend Lotus Behavioral Health to anyone seeking help with addiction.

Compassionate, Knowledgeable and Dedicated. From the moment you make that first call you will be met with support and understanding. We know the difficulties you're facing and we will be there throughout your child's (and your family's) healing journey. Lotus truly is about new beginnings and I love being a part of that everyday.

Great work environment. Awesome things being done for the kiddos
