Long-term rehab covers residential programs that run longer than 30 days, often 60 days to six months or more. These programs focus on rebuilding a whole life, not just stopping substance use.
Long stays are especially useful after multiple relapses, for people with co-occurring mental health conditions, or when going home too soon would put recovery at risk.
What to expect
- Detox and stabilization in the first week if needed
- A full therapy schedule through the middle weeks

Florida resources for families
You can verify whether a Florida provider is licensed using DCF's Substance Use Disorder Licensing and Designation Search at https://sudprovidersearch.myflfamilies.com/, which DCF says is intended for licensing verification and transparency.
If a loved one refuses help and is a danger to themselves or others, Florida's Marchman Act lets families ask the court for involuntary assessment and treatment. Petitions for Gateway residents are filed in Lee County; see how to file a Marchman Act in Lee County.
