EPIC Behavioral Healthcare provides free naloxone (Narcan) at all five of our campuses listed below.

“Drug-related deaths in Northeast Florida and statewide decreased dramatically between 2023 and 2024, according to a new report.”

Fewer deaths in Northeast Florida from fentanyl, co***ne, and oxycodone are attributed to several factors, including the increased availability of naloxone. Learn more about this study at https://jaxtoday.org/2025/10/24/drug-deaths-decline-florida.

Making naloxone available is a significant step forward in providing a safe and stigma-free way for anyone to access this medication and help prevent opioid overdoses.

EPIC is participating in the iSaveFL Overdose Prevention initiative, made possible by the Florida Department of Children and Families.

About EPIC Behavioral Healthcare

Our mission is to strengthen our community by providing person-centered care to individuals and families impacted by substance use and mental health disorders, and other behaviors through a comprehensive system of Education, Prevention, Intervention, and Counseling.

Our vision is to be the primary leader of quality, comprehensive behavioral healthcare in our community.

EPIC Behavioral Healthcare (EPIC) believes that recovery from addiction, substance use disorders and mental health disorders is real. People can, and do, overcome the internal and external challenges, barriers, and obstacles that confront them. EPIC agrees that addiction is defined as a chronic, relapsing brain disease that is characterized by compulsive drug seeking and use, despite harmful consequences. EPIC also recognizes that many individuals served by our agency are challenged by a mental health disorder. While treatable, EPIC believes that substance use and mental health disorders impact all areas of an individual’s life, including all of their relationships, vocational/education goals and skills, emotional well-being and their physical health. For both substance use and mental disorders, our commitment is to provide effective, affordable, evidence-based, culturally-sensitive and comprehensive care to impacted individuals and families.

EPIC has historically incorporated the idea of, “wellness,” into our programs. This allows EPIC to have the best outcomes for our clients. EPIC focuses on formalizing its commitment to overall wellness for our clients using SAMHSA’s (Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration) 8 Dimensions of Wellness as a guideline.
