Addiction treatment centerHow residential alcohol rehab works
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
- Daily individual and group therapy
- Detox on site or coordinated before admission if needed
- Family involvement and education
- A written aftercare plan before discharge
Local help and next steps

DCF notes that its provider search is not a quality rating and that being listed does not mean the department endorses or recommends a provider.

Frequently asked questions
What if my loved one won't go to treatment?
You can talk with a specialist about how to approach the conversation. In Florida, the Marchman Act also lets family members petition a court for involuntary assessment and treatment when someone has lost control of their substance use and is a danger to themselves or others. See our Marchman Act guide for Highlands County.
Can someone from another state come to Lake Placid 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.
