Frequently asked questions
What if my loved one won't go to treatment?
You can talk with a specialist about how to approach the conversation. In Florida, the Marchman Act also lets family members petition a court for involuntary assessment and treatment when someone has lost control of their substance use and is a danger to themselves or others. See our Marchman Act guide for St. Johns County.
Can someone from another state come to St. Augustine Beach 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.
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.
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.
