Addiction treatment centerDual diagnosisHow residential alcohol rehab works
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
- 24-hour staff and a structured, substance-free setting
- Evidence-based therapies such as CBT and motivational interviewing
- Help arranging care after you leave
- Peer support and 12-step or non-12-step options

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 St. Johns County.
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.
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.
