Play and laughter is an important part of childhood that has too often been missed in the lives of youth in treatment at Daniel. Thank you Citi Jacksonville for spending time with us. The play was intense and the muscles may be sore, but you brought a ton of smiles and fun to the kids for the afternoon.

Daniel is committed to being a comprehensive support for those struggling with addiction. Our team consists of a Master’s Certified Addictions Professional, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Master’s level clinicians. We understand that addiction is often accompanied with depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. Approximately 75% of individuals with a substance use disorder have experienced trauma at some point in their lives. Our outpatient treatment addresses the trauma, in addition to addiction, which is often a core trigger to using substances. Medicaid eligible clients can receive weekly outpatient therapeutic services, as well as psychiatric care and medication management. We are proud to be part of a strong recovery network for our clients. If you are interested in an evaluation, please contact our Admissions Department, 904-772-5165 #improvingthelivesofchildrenandfamiliesfor140years #RecoveryMonth

I read an article about Baptist Health System and Florida Blue's prominence in NE Florida. It stated that the two have served Jacksonville for a combined total of 149 years. Their commitment to our area and the services they provide is commendable. Did you know that this year Daniel, Florida's oldest child serving organization is recognizing 140 years of serving Jacksonville's most marginalized, vulnerable and at-risk youth? From our earliest roots as an orphanage beginning during the Yellow Fever epidemic until now, Daniel's focus has always been on the welfare of children. Daniel provides services in the areas of counseling for abused and emotionally troubled children, connecting children with caring foster or adoptive families, offering homeless teens shelter and support, and strengthening and reunifying high-risk families. For more information on the services Daniel provides, please see our website.

Keeping kids safe and providing the care they need to heal from their traumatic and mostly unseen injuries is more than just punching a time clock. It means having staff that are trained to handle a variety of crisis situations. #CPRtraining
