Residential / inpatientLong-termDual diagnosisWhat long-term rehab involves
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
- Options to extend or step down based on progress
- Detox and stabilization in the first week if needed

- A full therapy schedule through the middle weeks
Florida resources for families
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 Villas residents are filed in Lee County; see how to file a Marchman Act in Lee County.
DCF notes that its provider search is not a quality rating and that being listed does not mean the department endorses or recommends a provider.
