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 Lee County.
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.
How does Florida license residential treatment?
The Florida Department of Children and Families licenses substance use treatment providers under Chapter 397, Florida Statutes, and licenses each service a provider offers, such as residential treatment or detox. You can verify a license in DCF's online provider search before admission.
What does a day in residential treatment look like?
A typical day includes morning check-ins, individual and group therapy, educational sessions, meals, exercise or recreation and evening support groups, with staff on site 24 hours.
