Alternative Therapy

At Gulfport Behavioral, we want to make sure that patients receive high-quality treatment that provides lasting coping and diversion opportunities. Often, individuals need activities and therapies that stretch beyond traditional one on one or group therapy activities. We have several alternative therapy opportunities that help individuals develop ongoing coping and diversion techniques to move forward to a more mentally healthy life. These alternative activities are integrated into each day’s inpatient and outpatient (for IOP and PHP) therapy schedule. These options help each individual realize their potential or possibilities outside what has been there normal and provide new coping activities for a hopeful future.

Some of our alternative therapies include:

  • Recreational therapy (board games, card games, puzzles)
  • Sport activities (team and individual)
  • Arts and crafts
  • Pet therapy
  • Journaling
  • Fitness (exercise, yoga)
