Residential Setting In Tallahassee, Florida

The Mahan Drive property: rural, wooded, room for the barn and pasture, but within reach of the city. Easy access from I-10 and around a 30 minute drive from the Tallahassee International Airport. Serving Leon County, the Big Bend, the Panhandle, and south Georgia. Families nearby can take part in family therapy and visits.

Residential treatment at Canopy Pines is where the core work of recovery happens. Women live on the property for the full course of treatment, which means the therapeutic process is not confined to scheduled sessions. It happens at meals. It happens outside. It happens in the barn, in the pasture, in the quiet between activities when something that has been stuck for years finally begins to move.

Our women-only addiction treatment program in Florida are for those who need full immersion: a complete departure from the environment that has sustained the addiction and a structured, supported space where new patterns can actually take hold. It is for women dealing with addiction alongside depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, or other mental health conditions that need to be treated simultaneously by the same clinical team. It is for women who have tried to stop on their own and found that stopping is not the hardest part. Staying stopped is.

Equine Assisted Therapy Offered

Equine therapy is part of the continuum of evidence-based treatment at Canopy Pines Recovery. It has been shown to offer several benefits for mental health and addiction treatment, including personal growth, self-awareness, and emotional stability. Learn more about the program.

Daily Structure:

Mornings start with routine. Shared breakfast. A consistent start time that tells the nervous system the day has begun and there is a plan. Individual therapy sessions occur multiple times per week. Group therapy runs daily, structured around clinical themes most relevant to women in recovery. Equine-assisted therapy is scheduled as a clinical appointment, not an activity. Wellness and mindfulness programming is integrated throughout the week. Evenings are quieter: peer connection, personal reflection, preparation for the next day. No day is empty. Every day has shape, and that shape is part of the treatment.

About the Program

What is the typical length of stay?

Length of stay is determined by clinical progress, not the package length. Most people stay in residential treatment for 30 to 90 days. The NIDA found that most people with addiction need at least 3 months of treatment to significantly reduce drug use. Extended time in a structured, therapeutic environment allows individuals to move beyond the initial stabilization phase and begin addressing the underlying trauma and triggers that drive the behavior.

Longer treatment durations provide the repetition and reinforcement necessary for new coping skills to become ingrained, reducing the likelihood of relapse once a person returns to their everyday life. The residential setting removes environmental triggers, negative relationships, and substance access — giving the brain time to begin healing.

Dr. Jorandby and the clinical team assess each woman’s progress on an ongoing basis and determine the length of stay based on what she actually needs to be stable and equipped for the life she is returning to.

What are the clinical services?

Full psychiatric evaluation and ongoing medication management by Dr. Jorandby and the clinical team. Multiple individual therapy sessions per week. Daily structured group therapy. Family therapy sessions are part of the treatment plan. Clinically integrated equine-assisted therapy. DBT-informed skills work.

The NIH archieved a study from researchers at the University of Queensland, which found that the best approach to substance abuse treatment includes a mix of mental health treatment and aftercare support. At Canopy Pines, we integrate both into our services.

All programs are structured to support women throughout their recovery journey. It is important to take into consideration the unique needs women have in addiction and mental health in order to achieve lasting results.

Trauma-informed care throughout every clinical interaction. Mindfulness and wellness programming. Discharge and continuing care planning that begins during treatment, not at the end.

How does admissions work?

A phone call starts the process. Insurance is verified. Clinical information is gathered. A start date is confirmed. Women coming from another detox facility, from a crisis stabilization unit, or directly from home are all welcome. Our admissions team coordinates the transition so nothing falls through the gap.

FAQ'S

Can my family visit?

Yes. Visitation is structured within the treatment plan and timed to coincide with stages of treatment where in-person family contact is clinically appropriate. Specific policies are discussed during admissions.

What if I need medication?

Psychiatric medication is managed entirely within the program by Dr. Jorandby and the clinical team. You do not need an outside provider during treatment.

Is this only for addiction?

No. Canopy Pines treats addiction alongside co-occurring mental health conditions including depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD. Most women who arrive here are dealing with more than one thing.

What does a typical week look like?

Multiple individual therapy sessions, daily group therapy, equine-assisted therapy as a scheduled clinical appointment, wellness and mindfulness programming, family therapy when appropriate, and regular psychiatric check-ins. Every week is structured. No day is empty.

What if something comes up at home while I am in treatment?

These situations are handled through the clinical team on a case-by-case basis. The goal is always to protect the integrity of treatment while responding to genuine need.
