Charlotte Behavioral

Mental illness is a treatable illness that affects one in four families and touches all of us. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) find that about half of U.S. adults will develop a mental illness during their lifetime. One in four adults experiences a mental disorder in any given year, and one in 17 adults live with a serious mental illness like schizophrenia, major depression or bipolar disorder. By 2020, mental and substance use disorders will surpass all physical diseases worldwide as major causes of disability. CBHC assists over 10,000 residents affected by these illnesses each year through our effective treatment programs and community services. Our goal is to assist residents of Charlotte county and surrounding communities in living more productive, rewarding lives.
