The Guest House Ocala

The Guest House is a world-renowned treatment facility that focuses on trauma, addiction and mental health. Located on a spacious and private 52-acre estate near the Ocala National Forest in Florida, The Guest House offers natural beauty along with peace, sunshine and tranquillity to create a safe place for healing. From the 7 luxurious guest suites and organic, chef-prepared cuisine to the beautiful pool and tree-covered equestrian trails, every amenity has been carefully designed for guests in the 90-day inpatient treatment programs to feel at home.
The Guest House’s unique approach is to look at the client’s symptoms. They believe that the addictions, anxiety, or depression are often a coping mechanism for traumatic life events not being fully processed or worked through. Because everyone experiences trauma in their life differently, Guest House’s programs are highly personalized, offering a wide variety of treatment options. Treatments can include traditional talk therapy such as Group, Individual and Family Therapy, Holistic Therapies such as Meditation, Yoga, Equine Therapy, and Art Therapy, along with clinical therapies such as Somatic Therapy, Neurofeedback, EMDR, and Brain Mapping.
The treatment facility is led by Judy Crane, a well known and internationally recognized expert in the field of trauma treatment. The Guest House also offers an outpatient day/night intensive program treatment for those who are unable to commit to overnight stays at a residential facility.
The unofficial motto of The Guest House is “love them back to health," so you’ll be met with love and kindness no matter your journey or perception of worth. After a day of soul searching, guests can enjoy the tropical gardens, walking trails, outdoor lounge, gourmet dining and refreshing pool. The Guest House is a private pay program.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

The Guest House Ocala offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Group Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. The Guest House Ocala works with 24 insurance providers.
