Residential / inpatientDual diagnosisHow residential addiction treatment works
Residential addiction treatment covers live-in programs for drug and alcohol addiction, often alongside mental health care. You stay at the facility for weeks or months, with a full schedule of therapy and support and staff available at all hours.
It suits people who have not been able to stop with outpatient care, whose home environment makes recovery harder, or who simply need a reset away from daily pressures.
What to expect
- Step-down planning to outpatient care or sober living
- Relapse prevention and coping-skills work
- Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
- A medical and psychiatric evaluation in the first days

Frequently asked questions
How do I get into residential addiction treatment near St. Augustine Beach?
Most admissions start with a phone call. A specialist asks a few questions about substance use, health and insurance, then helps you find a program with an opening. Many residential programs in Florida can admit someone within a day or two once insurance is verified.
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.
