Wekiva Springs is part of a
larger system of hospitals that provide hope and healing to
thousands of people every year. Wekiva Springs has developed many
specialized programs which differentiate us from other treatment
providers. Each program is customized to meet the needs of the
individual and their family.
Center for Women
at Wekiva Springs
In today’s world, women of all ages face enormous pressure to
live up to unrealistic expectations -- their own and those of
others.
Physically, psychologically, socially and emotionally, women deal
daily with issues that are different from those of men—and we
have significantly different responses to problems.
Women are the most likely victims of trauma. In addition to
experiencing mood disturbances such as depression or anxiety, women
often cope by turning to alcohol or drugs, or abusing their bodies
through eating disorders such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge and
compulsive overeating. The result is a vicious cycle for women and
their families.
Women, and the unique challenges they face throughout their lives,
are the sole focus at Wekiva Springs Center for Women. Healing and
wellness, through treatment offered in a safe and supportive
environment, await you.
Adolescents
When your teenager is in trouble, it affects the entire family. It
is often difficult to know the difference between the
“normal” rebellious stage and a cry for help from your
child. At Wekiva Springs, we have board certified physicians,
psychologists and therapists who can evaluate your teen and provide
the best recommendation for level of care.
Wekiva Springs treats females ages 11-17 years of age and offer a
wide range of eating disorder and addiction treatment services. Our
programs are specifically designed to provide a customized
treatment plan to address young people’s needs and put them
back on the right path.
