Alcoholism treatment programAbout residential alcohol rehab
A residential alcohol program gives you distance from bars, liquor stores and the routines built around drinking. Staff are there day and night, and the schedule leaves little room for the boredom and stress that often lead back to a drink.
Many programs also offer medications that reduce alcohol cravings, such as naltrexone or acamprosate, alongside counseling.
What to expect
- Care for co-occurring anxiety, depression or trauma
- 24-hour staff and a structured, substance-free setting
- Evidence-based therapies such as CBT and motivational interviewing
- Peer support and 12-step or non-12-step options

Frequently asked questions
Can someone from another state come to Bonita Springs for treatment?
Yes. Florida programs regularly admit people from other states. Many out-of-state commercial plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield plans through the BlueCard program, can be used at in-network Florida providers. Verify benefits first.
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.
Are there medications for alcohol cravings?
Yes. Naltrexone, acamprosate and disulfiram are FDA-approved for alcohol use disorder, and many residential programs offer them alongside therapy.
Do I need detox before alcohol rehab?
If you drink heavily every day, yes. Alcohol withdrawal can cause seizures, so medically supervised detox usually comes first. Many residential programs provide it on site.
