Hospital / inpatientDual diagnosisWhat residential addiction treatment involves
A residential treatment center is a licensed, structured place to recover. Florida law defines residential treatment as a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week service in a structured live-in setting outside a hospital, and the Department of Children and Families licenses each provider's services.
Most programs combine evidence-based therapy, medical oversight and peer support, then help you plan aftercare before you leave.
What to expect
- Family involvement and education
- Detox on site or coordinated before admission if needed
- An intake assessment covering substance use, health and mental health
- A written aftercare plan before discharge

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 Broward County.
Does insurance cover residential addiction treatment 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.
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.
