Clearwater's 8 centers serve the immediate area well, but if you need more options—perhaps a specific level of care or specialty focus—several nearby cities have larger networks. Tampa (just south, 28 centers) and Miami (south Florida's hub, 58 centers) both have significantly more facilities. Fort Lauderdale (37 centers) and West Palm Beach (34 centers) are also major treatment hubs. Jacksonville (26 centers) and Orlando (21 centers) serve other regions of Florida.

Many Clearwater centers also offer telehealth, allowing you to begin treatment from home or transition to it after in-person care. Ask your provider about remote counseling sessions if travel is a barrier.
