Residential / inpatientDual diagnosisDetox availableWhat residential alcohol rehab involves
Residential alcohol treatment combines medical care with structure. Expect a mix of individual therapy, group work, education about alcohol's effects on the body and brain, and time to repair sleep, nutrition and relationships.
Families are often invited into part of the process, because recovery from alcohol use disorder usually works best when the people at home understand it too.
What to expect
- Daily individual and group therapy
- Detox on site or coordinated before admission if needed
- A written aftercare plan before discharge
- An intake assessment covering substance use, health and mental health

Frequently asked questions
Can someone from another state come to Brownsville 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.
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.
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.
