Banyan Stuart

Banyan Stuart's treatment model is built around continuity. Rather than treating detox and long-term recovery as separate problems requiring separate providers, the center offers medical detox, intensive inpatient care, residential treatment, and an outpatient program under one accredited system. For someone early in their recovery journey, that means supervised medical detox followed by a direct transition into residential treatment — no gap in care, no starting over with a new clinical team.

The outpatient program serves people who have completed a higher level of care and are ready to begin rebuilding daily life while maintaining structured treatment. This step-down model is central to lasting recovery: it mirrors real-world conditions while keeping clinical support in place. Whether someone enters at the detox level or comes seeking outpatient care after treatment elsewhere, Banyan Stuart has a defined level of care to meet them.

Banyan Stuart treats alcohol addiction, opioid addiction, heroin addiction, fentanyl addiction, cocaine addiction, crack addiction, prescription drug addiction, and methadone addiction — along with co-occurring mental health disorders that frequently accompany substance use. Dual diagnosis treatment is not an add-on here; it is listed as a core condition the facility addresses, which matters for anyone whose recovery involves both a substance use disorder and an underlying mental health condition.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is the confirmed therapeutic method in use, offering clients a structured way to examine the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and substance use behavior. CBT is one of the most studied approaches in addiction treatment, and its application here gives the clinical work a concrete, skill-focused direction that supports recovery well beyond the residential phase.

The center serves men, women, and veterans — and its acceptance of TRICARE makes it one of the few Stuart-area recovery centers positioned to work directly with active-duty military personnel and veterans navigating substance use and the mental health challenges that often accompany service. For veterans seeking residential treatment or a step-down outpatient program, TRICARE coverage can make a significant difference in access to care.

Beyond insurance logistics, the facility's 24-hour operating schedule means intake is not limited to business hours. Decisions to enter treatment rarely follow a convenient schedule, and Banyan Stuart's round-the-clock availability reflects a practical understanding of how recovery begins. Private insurance and self-pay options are also accepted, broadening access for those without government-sponsored coverage.

Banyan Stuart holds accreditation from CARF — the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities — along with membership in NAATP and certification through LegitScript. CARF accreditation in particular signals that the facility has met independently reviewed standards for quality and accountability in addiction treatment, which matters when families are evaluating long-term recovery partners rather than making a same-day decision.

Medical oversight is provided by Dr. Steven R. Scanlan, M.D., who serves as Medical Director. His physician-level presence is especially relevant for the medical detox and intensive inpatient levels of care, where clinical decision-making directly affects safety and outcomes during the early, highest-acuity phase of treatment.
