Lakeview Center About Us

At some point in our lives, we face challenges... Lakeview Center is here to help. Our mission is to provide high quality behavioral health care and vocational services to meet the needs of the people and communities we serve.

People handle stresses of life in different ways. While some meet their challenges head-on, others may feel unable to cope. Their mental health may suffer; they may turn to alcohol or drugs; they may lose their jobs. The professionals at Lakeview Center understand these problems. We offer more than 50 treatment and vocational programs to provide solutions for children, teens, adults and seniors.

Behavioral Health Services
Counseling assistance is provided in several settings including residential, outpatient, case management, day treatment and therapeutic foster care. Lakeview staff offer assessments; individual and group counseling; and professional and community education. Additional clinics and programs located throughout Escambia County and Santa Rosa County make it easy for individuals outside of Pensacola to receive services.

Drug & Alcohol Services
Lakeview Center offers drug and alcohol treatment programs for teens and adults. Various programs provide detoxification, inpatient care, outpatient counseling; residential treatment and day treatment for teens; specialized day treatment for mothers with substance abuse problems; education for individuals arrested for drinking and driving.

Uniquely Lakeview
An important and unique service we provide to every individual is ease of transfer from one program to another. When it is time to move from an intensive care to a less intensive setting (residential to outpatient, for example), that less intensive program is right here, at Lakeview Center.

Serving the Community
In order to serve the entire community, Lakeview Center provides outreach programs.

  • Crisis telephone lines for adults, teens and children
  • Counseling support in the schools
  • Employee assistance programs for businesses
  • Referral to other community services
  • 24-hour crisis evaluation and assistance

If you need help, you may call Lakeview Center directly at (850) 432-1222. (Please see our Contact Page for other telephone numbers.) You may also be referred to a Lakeview Center program by your physician, your employer, or another service agency.

Lakeview Center employs psychiatrists, psychologists, licensed mental health counselors, social workers, therapists, nurses, vocational specialists and other professionals. Lakeview Center serves thousands of individuals each year. The center is governed by a local volunteer board of directors.

Vocational Services
Individuals who needs help finding employment after treatment for mental illness or who have a physical disability or another barrier to employment, may turn to Lakeview Center's vocational services. Services include skills assessment, education, job placement and sometimes employment through Gulf Coast Enterprises, another program of Lakeview Center.


On July 1, 1996, Lakeview Center became an affiliate of Baptist Health Care. This affiliation allows Lakeview Center to offer its services in a wider geographic area, and allows clients of both organizations easy access to services of both healthcare providers.
