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
- Step-down planning to outpatient care or sober living
- A medical and psychiatric evaluation in the first days
- A daily schedule of therapy, groups and recovery activities
- Relapse prevention and coping-skills work

Frequently asked questions
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.
Can someone from another state come to Fort Myers Beach 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.
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.
