Residential addiction treatment is built around time and focus. With work, errands and old routines set aside, you can put full attention on understanding addiction, treating co-occurring conditions and practicing new habits in a supportive setting.
Length of stay ranges from about a month to several months, depending on your needs, your progress and what your coverage allows.
What to expect
- Family involvement and education
- Detox on site or coordinated before admission if needed
- A written aftercare plan before discharge
- An intake assessment covering substance use, health and mental health

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 Okaloosa County.
