Hilltop Residential Program

Apalachee Center’s Hilltop Residential Program is a Level 2 residential program located in Madison, Florida serving adults who are in recovery from severe and persistent mental illness, but need some help in learning to live outside a hospital setting. The program provides 24-hour supervision, psychiatric services, nursing services, supportive counseling, and daily living skills training for individuals leaving mental health facilities and no longer need that level of care or for those in other community settings needing a residential level of care. Our goal is to provide a helping hand and a safe environment to assist our residents to develop the self-reliance and coping skills needed to move toward independent living.

Residents have access to the full array of Apalachee Center outpatient programs in Madison County, including psychosocial rehabilitation (PSR), care management, medical assessment, psychiatry and therapy.

Residents also learn self-care skills like cooking, cleaning and budgeting, and social skills as they live with others who are also in recovery. Hilltop is fully staffed 24/7 by mental health assistants and LPN nurses.
