Residential alcohol rehab is live-in treatment for alcohol use disorder. After a medically supervised detox, you stay at the program while you work through therapy, learn to handle triggers and build a plan for life after treatment.
Alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous on its own, so most residential programs either provide detox on site or coordinate it before admission.
What to expect
- Medication support for cravings or withdrawal when appropriate
- Step-down planning to outpatient care or sober living
- A daily schedule of therapy, groups and recovery activities
- A medical and psychiatric evaluation in the first days
Recovery resources in Fort Lauderdale
Broward Health's Hospital Opioid Bridge Program lets people who come to the emergency department for opioid use start medication such as Suboxone to ease withdrawal and then be linked to ongoing care.
The Broward Sheriff's Office runs the treatment arm of the county's Judicial Drug Court, where eligible adults with criminal charges can complete supervised outpatient treatment, and pretrial participants may have charges dismissed on completion.

Frequently asked questions
Can someone from another state come to Fort Lauderdale 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.
Does insurance cover residential alcohol rehab 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.
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.
