Overview
Park Royal Hospital is a 114-bed, free-standing behavioral hospital providing critical mental health and drug rehab services in Fort Myers, FL. Unlike traditional residential rehabs, their primary goal is acute crisis stabilization in a secure, hospital-based setting with semi-private rooms. Patients receive 24/7 medical supervision from a multidisciplinary team. The hospital offers medically-assisted detox and inpatient care with daily psychiatric visits to manage severe symptoms of substance use and co-occurring disorders. After stabilization, which typically lasts 3-7 days, patients are transitioned to lower levels of care, such as their Partial Hospitalization (PHP) or Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs, to continue their recovery journey.

"Jane is an angel! She really helped my son. She took an interest in making sure that he was okay. Park Royal gave us a glimmer of hope. They adjusted his medication, and he was a different person (for the better) after leaving there."
"I am the mother of a teenager who recently spent 5 days in the hospital and I feel absolutely grateful for the work you do. My son told me that the entire staff was always very loving and understanding with him. The professionals were always in communication with me. Every time I called to check on my son, they gave me a kind response. Thank you very much for everything."
