About this care
Mental health treatment
Ambrosia offers adult mental health treatment at the Neuroscience Institute in West Palm Beach and adolescent mental health treatment through Neuroscience Institute for Adolescents (NIA) in Port St. Lucie. An assessment helps match the person with the appropriate program and level of support.
If symptoms are affecting daily life or current support no longer feels sufficient, you can start by discussing what has changed. Share previous diagnoses, treatment, medication concerns, and the support available at home. You do not need to choose a program before speaking with admissions.
Adult mental health treatment is provided at the Neuroscience Institute in West Palm Beach, a setting that combines psychiatry, therapy, and brain-informed care. Neuroscience Institute for Adolescents (NIA) provides adolescent mental health care at residential, PHP, and IOP levels.
Adult and adolescent mental health programs
Adult and adolescent care have different program settings and planning needs. Start with the program for the person’s age group, then discuss symptoms, safety, and the intensity of care needed.
- Adults: Neuroscience Institute in West Palm Beach
Adult mental health care brings psychiatric assessment and therapy together. Discuss inpatient and outpatient options, current availability, and the treatment team at this location.
- Adolescents: Neuroscience Institute for Adolescents (NIA)
NIA is Ambrosia’s adolescent mental health program, with residential, partial hospitalization (PHP), and intensive outpatient (IOP) care. Families can discuss school, home support, and participation in treatment.
- When substance use is also a concern
Tell admissions about both mental health symptoms and alcohol or drug use. The Academy is the adolescent substance use disorder program; families can discuss which program can address their teen’s needs.
Understanding levels of mental health care
The level of care describes how much structure and support treatment provides. The assessment considers safety, day-to-day functioning, previous care, and support outside treatment. Confirm the recommended setting and its availability before arranging a stay.
- Residential treatment
Care includes an overnight stay in a treatment setting. NIA offers residential care for adolescents; adults can discuss the appropriate inpatient setting with the Neuroscience Institute.
- Partial hospitalization (PHP)
Structured day treatment offers more support than routine outpatient appointments. Discuss where you will stay and how you will travel to treatment, because PHP itself does not provide overnight clinical supervision.
- Intensive outpatient (IOP)
Scheduled treatment sessions provide ongoing support while the person lives outside the treatment setting. Ask how the timetable will fit around school, work, and family commitments.

Treatment at Ambrosia’s mental health programs
Care is tailored to the person: symptoms, underlying causes, and family context. Programs combine neuroscience-informed psychiatry with therapy and, when it helps, family work. Modalities include:
- Individual therapy
One-to-one work with a licensed therapist to understand thoughts, feelings, and behavior, and to build coping skills.
- Group therapy
Sessions with peers facing related issues — support, feedback, and perspective you cannot get alone.
- Family therapy
Family members join the work so communication, understanding, and conflict can change alongside the patient.
- Neurofeedback
A non-invasive procedure that measures brain activity and helps people learn to regulate brain-wave patterns.
- EMDR
A structured psychotherapy that uses eye movements and other stimuli to process traumatic or distressing memories.
- Holistic therapies
Practices such as meditation, yoga, acupuncture, massage, and art therapy that support the rest of the clinical plan.
Starting mental health treatment
Prepare a list of current medications, previous providers, and the concerns that prompted you to seek care. If you are calling for a teen, ask about parent or guardian involvement and how the program plans for education and returning home.
- Discuss an assessment
Ask which program and location are recommended, what information is needed, and how the team coordinates with existing providers. Admissions can explain the next step.
- Review insurance and costs
Ask about benefits for the specific facility and level of care, authorization requirements, and expected out-of-pocket costs. Verification helps clarify coverage; it does not guarantee payment.
