Health and safety are our top priorities. To protect Wellpath staff, patients and the community from the spread of COVID-19, each team member is equipped with PPE based on CDC criteria and best practices.

4 Unique Types of Facilities Served

Forensic Mental Health

Evidence-based, trauma-informed behavioral health services to individuals found incompetent to proceed to trial and not guilty by reason of insanity. Wellpath has developed processes for ensuring respect for patient rights, prevention of abuse, neglect and exploitation, the virtual elimination of seclusion and restraint, and effective linkages to the community, legal system, state psychiatric facilities, and other agencies.
Sex Offender Treatment

Sex offender treatment to individuals detained or civilly committed under The Involuntary Civil Commitment of Sexually Violent Predators Act (FS 394.910). In addition to evidence-based, sex offender specific treatment, Wellpath also provides comprehensive psychological, psychiatric, substance abuse, medical, dental, vocational, recreational, educational and dietary services.
Civil Mental Health

This patient population consists primarily of severely and persistently mentally ill adults in state psychiatric hospitals who are involuntarily committed when community treatment alternatives are no longer effective. The hospital provides a secure setting with longer-term treatment by psychiatrist-led teams of clinicians.
