New Horizons

What New Horizons does

New Horizons of the Treasure Coast and Okeechobee, Inc. is a Florida nonprofit behavioral health organization founded in 1958 in Fort Pierce, FL, operating nine facilities across four counties (Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee, St. Lucie) and serving more than 14,000 children and adults annually regardless of ability to pay. The organization delivers a full continuum of mental health and substance use services including 24/7 crisis intervention via a Mobile Response Team (reachable through 211), a 30-bed Adult Stabilization Unit, a 20-bed Children's Crisis Stabilization Unit (the Frances Langford Children's Center), a 15-bed Detoxification Unit, a 16-bed Transitional Group Home, Short-Term Residential Treatment, outpatient mental health and substance abuse clinics, Florida Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) teams, psychosocial rehabilitation learning centers, mental health court navigation, and a Clozapine injection clinic.

The underlying service-delivery model integrates crisis response, inpatient stabilization, outpatient treatment, residential recovery, school-based prevention (Student Assistance Program, Community Action Team, Project EXHALE), disaster emotional support (Project COPE), and case management across the four-county region. Technology adoption is limited to commodity SaaS tools (Wix, Square, JotForm, Paylocity) with no disclosed proprietary platform, AI/ML, or differentiated technical IP; differentiation is grounded in physical infrastructure, regulatory designations, and institutional partnerships rather than technology.

The organization operates as a community-based nonprofit funded through Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) contracts, county government partnerships (all four counties), Medicaid and insurance billing, third-party grants, and philanthropic donations. No pricing is publicly disclosed. Leadership comprises CEO Gregory Jackson, COO Erin Snellings Allyn, and CMO Efrain Acosta-Leon, M.D., supported by a Board of Directors with representation from each of the four served counties. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Centerstone: One of the largest nonprofit behavioral health providers in the U.S., operating across multiple states with crisis, residential, outpatient, and addiction services. Overlapping mission and service model but vastly larger scale and multi-state footprint.
• BayCare Behavioral Health: Behavioral health arm of BayCare Health System, one of Florida's largest health systems, operating inpatient, outpatient, and crisis services across the Tampa Bay region. Comparable crisis and inpatient capabilities but embedded within a much larger hospital system.

Direct peers

• David Lawrence Centers: Regional nonprofit behavioral health provider serving Collier County, Florida with crisis, inpatient, outpatient, and residential services. Closest geographic and functional analog to New Horizons in terms of single-county/regional dominance and full-continuum service model.
• Meridian Behavioral Healthcare: Community mental health center serving North Central Florida (Gainesville area) with a comparable full continuum: crisis stabilization, inpatient, outpatient, case management, and substance abuse services. Directly comparable as a Florida-based nonprofit CMHC with similar scope and target populations.
• SalusCare: Lee County, Florida-based nonprofit providing crisis stabilization, inpatient, outpatient, detox, and addiction services. Highly comparable to New Horizons as a single-region Florida CMHC with full continuum including detox.
• Aspire Health Partners: Large Central Florida (Orlando) nonprofit CMHC delivering crisis, inpatient, outpatient, residential, and substance abuse services. Comparable as a multi-site, full-continuum Florida behavioral health nonprofit, though at larger scale.
• Lakeview Center (Baptist Health Care): Escambia County-area (Pensacola) Florida behavioral health nonprofit now affiliated with Baptist Health Care, offering crisis, inpatient, outpatient, and addiction services. Comparable full-continuum CMHC; affiliation with a health system is a differentiator from New Horizons' independent nonprofit status.
• Peace River Center: Polk County, Florida-based nonprofit CMHC providing crisis stabilization, inpatient, outpatient, case management, and substance abuse services. Directly comparable in scope, service mix, and Florida nonprofit CMHC operating model.

Regional players

• Mental Health Association of Central Florida: Orlando-based nonprofit providing behavioral health, case management, supportive housing, and advocacy services. Comparable as a Florida behavioral health nonprofit with case-management-heavy model, though no inpatient capacity.

Others

• Southeast Florida Behavioral Health Network (SEFBHN): Managing entity for Florida DCF-funded behavioral health services across southeast Florida, including New Horizons' service area. Listed as a core partner; functions as a network coordinator/funder rather than a direct service peer, but is central to the operating ecosystem.
