Frequently asked questions
What if my loved one won't go to treatment?
You can talk with a specialist about how to approach the conversation. In Florida, the Marchman Act also lets family members petition a court for involuntary assessment and treatment when someone has lost control of their substance use and is a danger to themselves or others. See our Marchman Act guide for Alachua County.
Can someone from another state come to Gainesville for treatment?
Yes. Florida programs regularly admit people from other states. Many out-of-state commercial plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield plans through the BlueCard program, can be used at in-network Florida providers. Verify benefits first.
Can I start with 30 days and extend to 60?
Often, yes. Many programs review progress weekly and can extend your stay if your clinical team and insurer agree it is needed.
Why choose 60 days over 30?
The extra month adds time to practice recovery skills, treat co-occurring conditions and prepare for home. It often suits people with longer histories or past relapses.
