Residential / inpatientMedical detoxDual diagnosisAbout medical detox
In medical detox, staff watch your vital signs, manage symptoms with medication and keep you safe and comfortable while your body clears the substance. Programs may be hospital-based or in a licensed residential detox unit.
Many Florida residential programs have detox on site, so you can move straight into treatment without a gap.
What to expect
- Assessment of what you use, how much and for how long
- A warm handoff to residential or outpatient care
- Symptom monitoring several times a day
- Physician oversight for alcohol, benzodiazepine or opioid withdrawal
Local help and next steps
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 Palm Harbor residents are filed in Pinellas County; see how to file a Marchman Act in Pinellas 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.

Frequently asked questions
What should I bring to residential rehab?
Bring a photo ID, insurance card, a list of current medications, comfortable clothing for about a week and basic toiletries. Most programs share a packing list and restrict items like alcohol-based products and outside medications.
Does insurance cover medical detox 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.
Is detox enough on its own?
Detox manages withdrawal but does not treat addiction itself. The best results come when detox leads straight into residential or outpatient treatment.
How long does medical detox take?
Detox usually takes 3 to 10 days, depending on the substance, how much and how long you have used, and your health. Alcohol and benzodiazepine detox can take longer and needs close supervision.
