THe Road in is the road back

There are things a woman knows, after a while, that she cannot say out loud. She knows that what she has been using to hold herself together is also tearing her apart. She knows the drinking, the pills, the behavior she cannot seem to stop is no longer solving anything. She knows she needs help but cannot figure out how to ask for it without losing everything she has spent years holding up.

Canopy Pines was built for that woman.

Set on 30 acres outside Tallahassee, this is a women-only residential program offering medically supervised detox and residential treatment for addiction alongside depression, anxiety, trauma, and co-occurring mental health conditions. The property is quiet in the way the South can be quiet: live oaks with low branches, open land that breathes, and horses that have no interest in a woman’s history but pay very close attention to what she is doing right now.

At the center of this program is Dr. Lantie Jorandby, one of its founders and Chief Executive Officer. Dr. Jorandby graduated with honors from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Psychology and Neuroscience, completed her residency at the University of Florida, and finished her Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship at Yale University. She went on to serve as Medical Director of the dual diagnosis unit at McLean Hospital in Massachusetts, a Harvard Medical School affiliate, where she also held faculty appointment in the Department of Psychiatry. She is triple board-certified in general psychiatry, addiction psychiatry, and addiction medicine, and she is a nationally recognized expert and speaker on mental health, addiction, and women’s care.

She writes regularly for Psychology Today, where her blog addresses the clinical realities of addiction, the science of recovery, and the barriers that keep women from getting the treatment they need and deserve. At Canopy Pines, she built the program that meets women where they are and treats them the way they deserve to be treated.

Treatment here is built on clinical precision and daily steadiness. Every woman receives a full psychiatric evaluation before a plan is built. Treatment is individualized and guided by clinical need, not preset timelines. Individual therapy, group work, family therapy, and equine-assisted therapy run together throughout each week under consistent clinical oversight. The same team sees a woman from her first day through her last and plans carefully for what comes after.

Women in early recovery need structure because their nervous systems have been operating in chaos. They also need space, because real healing cannot be forced on a schedule. Days at Canopy Pines are designed with both things in mind.

This is the place for women who are ready. Ready to stop. Ready to feel what is actually happening. Ready to build a life that holds.
