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
- An intake assessment covering substance use, health and mental health
- A written aftercare plan before discharge
- Daily individual and group therapy
- Detox on site or coordinated before admission if needed
Recovery resources in Miami
Miami-Dade County runs its own Central Intake Unit as the front door for adults seeking a substance use evaluation, referral, or treatment placement. Referrals come from courts, police, community agencies, and family members, and walk-ins are accepted; staff decide whether outpatient or residential care fits.
The county's New Direction Residential Treatment Program serves adult Miami-Dade residents with counseling, medication-assisted treatment, case management, and relapse and overdose prevention. It includes a transitional track for people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and an intensive program for women.
Local help and next steps
If a loved one refuses help and is a danger to themselves or others, Florida's Marchman Act lets families ask the court for involuntary assessment and treatment. Petitions for Miami residents are filed in Miami-Dade County; see how to file a Marchman Act in Miami-Dade County.

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 Miami 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.
