Residential / 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
- A medical and psychiatric evaluation in the first days
- Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
- A daily schedule of therapy, groups and recovery activities
- Relapse prevention and coping-skills work
