Frequently asked questions
Can someone from another state come to Fort Lauderdale 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.
Does insurance cover long-term rehab in Florida?
Most commercial health plans cover medically necessary addiction treatment, including residential and inpatient care, under federal parity rules. Coverage depends on your plan, network and medical necessity reviews, so it helps to verify benefits before admission.
Who is long-term rehab best for?
It suits people with severe or long-standing addiction, several relapses, co-occurring conditions or a home environment that makes early recovery difficult.
How long is long-term rehab?
Long-term residential programs generally run longer than 30 days, often 60 days to six months, sometimes with a transition into supportive housing.
