Residential / inpatientMedical detoxDual diagnosisAbout medical detox
Medical detox is supervised withdrawal from alcohol or drugs, with doctors and nurses who can treat symptoms as they come. It is the safest way to stop alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids, where withdrawal can be severe or even dangerous.
Detox usually lasts 3 to 10 days. It is the first step, not the whole treatment, so a good detox program plans your transfer to residential or outpatient care before you leave.
What to expect
- A warm handoff to residential or outpatient care
- Symptom monitoring several times a day
- Assessment of what you use, how much and for how long
- Counseling to start treatment planning
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 Sanford residents are filed in Seminole County; see how to file a Marchman Act in Seminole County.
DCF's provider search groups a provider's sites and licensed components under one listing, shows whether each license is regular, interim, or probationary, and offers site-level details such as inspection reports and administrative actions.

Frequently asked questions
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.
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.
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.
