TIPS: If you feel you're going to use

  • Find a peer support group: Florida 12 step meetings and other peer support groups through the Addicted.org directory.
  • Stay active and distracted—take advantage of Florida’s numerous walking trails and outdoor scenery.
  • Access counseling through the Department of Children and Families or contact 211 Florida.
  • Find an activity—experience the national parks, beaches, communities like Little Havana, and amazing outdoors.
  • Avoid risky situations that lead to relapse. Dangerous opioids are commonly mixed with other drugs.

TIPS: If you want to help someone

  • Find local help through Florida Health and the Department of Children and Families.
  • Be aware of overdose risks—numerous resources are offered through Florida Health.
  • Substance use disorder screening is offered through the Florida Department of Children and Families.
  • Organize a family intervention and hire a professional interventionist.
  • Avoid enabling the person who is addicted to drugs or alcohol.

Finding the Best Drug Rehab in Florida

Initially, it is okay not to know what drug rehab center to select. Most of Florida’s drug and alcohol rehabs conduct a preliminary assessment, determining if certain drug treatment services are suitable. The goal for you or your loved one is to select a program that provides the correct level of care.

Below is a general breakdown of some standard levels of care:

  • Outpatient drug rehab is excellent for anyone who needs to continue working or has not spiraled entirely out of control with their substance use. Outpatient treatment is not viable for someone who has become physically dependent on drugs or alcohol. If this is the case, a higher level of care is recommended.
  • Detox is usually required for anyone using substances regularly or in large amounts; this is especially true for alcohol and opiates. Many rehabs offer detox as part of their program, but some require an individual to detox before arrival. If this is the case, you may need to find a stand-alone detox in Florida before attending treatment.
  • Residential programs remain the best approach for anyone wanting to get away from everything and focus on treatment. This rehab provides the most time for individuals to receive care and work on themselves. Some may find it difficult to leave family and friends for an extended period. Still, in most cases, it is what is necessary to achieve lasting sobriety.

Additionally, it is critical to select an optimal location. Regardless of how committed someone is to getting help, the beginning stages of the rehabilitation process, especially drug withdrawal, are difficult. Cravings and other emotional reactions can lead to poor decision-making. If your loved one is too close to home, it may make leaving seem like an easy option. To give you or your loved one the best chance at success, consider facilities away from what is familiar.

Here are some tips to help with choosing the best drug rehab location in Florida:

  • Take advantage of how large Florida is. You can choose a rehab that is a reasonable distance away but doesn’t require you to leave the state. This allows you to utilize state insurance and state-funded facilities.
  • Consider social connections and refrain from sending a loved one to an area with known friends and family. If you have to choose a rehab facility in Florida close to someone they know, you should reach out and let that person know. Coordinate with them and make a plan in the event your loved one contacts them.
  • A rehab center out of state in a milder climate may keep someone from wanting to leave treatment, especially during the hot Florida summers.

Florida Long-Term Drug Rehab

It is the professional opinion of Addicted.org that long-term drug and alcohol rehab provides the best opportunities for a full recovery and lifelong sobriety—here are some reasons why:

  • Long-term drug and alcohol rehab in Florida addresses more than just substance use. For example, they help with medical, vocational, legal, or social problems.
  • Clients remain in treatment for an adequate time, significantly increasing the success rate.
  • Long-term rehab programs spend more time developing structure, healthy habits, behaviors, and routines.
  • Clients can access 24/7 medical and psychological support because they live at the rehab facility and spend 60 to 90 days in treatment.
  • Programs are often in locations far away from the environment where you or your loved one used drugs or alcohol.

What Makes Drug Rehab Inpatient or Residential in Florida?

Generally, residential refers to a residence, a place, or a location where an individual resides as a resident. For example, it is usually where an individual lives long-term, which distinguishes it from a temporary stay.

However, the Florida Department of Children and Families has specific meanings for inpatient and residential services regarding substance use treatment.

  • Inpatient treatment is defined as any form of evaluation, regiment, observation, medical monitoring, or clinical protocols provided by an interdisciplinary team 24 hours a day, seven days a week, within a live-in environment.
  • Residential treatment is defined as a service provided in a structured live-in environment, which is not a hospital setting, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for individuals who meet placement criteria.

The primary difference, in this case, comes down to the environment. Residential programs provide a home-like setting with all the amenities. Inpatient facilities offer a hospital setting with medical support.

  • Within Florida are free and low-cost substance use treatment for those who qualify.

The length of time someone spends at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Florida depends on the type of facility. An average length of stay may include some of the following:

  • The average length of stay for an inpatient drug rehab in Florida is three to six weeks. Yet, long-term rehabs can range between 3 to 6 months.
  • The average length of stay at an outpatient drug rehab center in Florida is 12 to 18 weeks. However, most programs provide longer options.
  • The average length of stay at a clinical drug and alcohol detox in Florida is seven days. Yet, medical detox programs may last longer.

The two most abused drugs in Florida are alcohol and opiates. If you notice a loved one exhibiting any of the signs of opiate or alcohol addiction, early intervention is critical to saving his or her life.

Paying for Treatment in Florida

The Florida rehab cost varies significantly and can depend on many factors. However, the most important of these is the type of health insurance the patient carries and whether the prospective rehab facility accepts it. Health insurance can make a big difference in the cost of treatment, but it is not required to receive help.

Paying for Treatment with Medicaid in Florida

Medicaid is available in Florida as it is in every other state. However, this doesn’t mean that a person qualifies for Medicaid coverage or that the program they want to attend will accept it. Medicaid coverage eligibility in Florida is highly dependent on a household’s income and may not be an option if the household has an income that exceeds the criteria. Furthermore, Florida doesn’t have an expanded Medicaid program. This leaves many non-disabled childless adults without coverage, regardless of their income level. However, when Medicaid coverage is available, it usually covers all treatment costs and expenses.

Using Private Insurance to pay for Drug Rehab in Florida

Unfortunately, many people who don’t qualify for Medicaid coverage in Florida cannot afford private insurance. Thankfully, Florida offers an exchange program that assists those who fall within this uninsured gap.

This exchange program provides discounted rates for policies based on the person’s income. The policies are available during specific enrollment periods and can be found on the federal website Healthcare.gov. Florida has the country’s highest exchange program enrollment rate, with more than 2.1 million people enrolling in 2021.

The following insurers are available in Florida’s health insurance marketplace for 2023:

  • AvMed
  • AmeriHealth Caritas
  • Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida (Florida Blue)
  • Capital Health Plan 
  • Ambetter/Celtic
  • Cigna
  • Aetna CVS Health/Coventry Health Plan of Florida
  • Florida Health Care Plan Inc
  • Health First Health Plans
  • Oscar Health
  • Florida Blue HMO (Health Options)
  • Sunshine State Health Plan
  • UnitedHealthcare 

Paying for Treatment when Uninsured

Often, the person can’t obtain health insurance before treatment. Addiction is life-threatening and should be treated immediately. Waiting until the person gets an insurance policy for coverage can be very dangerous and end in tragedy.

Most treatment programs accept cash payment, or what is known as self-payment or private pay. This means that the person has no insurance, or their insurance isn’t paying for their treatment. Thankfully, many facilities will work with people in this situation by providing payment options or a sliding-scale system.

The sliding scale allows those who make less income to pay less for treatment, ultimately making it equally affordable. For more information on how to pay for treatment, you can contact one of the treatment specialists via Addicted.org or contact a drug rehab in Florida directly

Addicted.org's Evaluation of Florida

While Florida has not expanded Medicaid, it still covers some treatment options, and private health plans are also an option for covering costs. On a positive note, over half of the substance use treatment centers offer a sliding fee scale for payment. In addition, well over one-quarter of them provide treatment at low cost or no charge. Yet, clients are generally within a specific demographic and must meet certain criteria. We recommend contacting the program being considered and asking about payment options, including health insurance.

The downside of drug rehab in Florida is the limited number of residential non-hospital programs or formal residential settings. Residential drug rehab is proven to be the most successful when treating addiction.

The Marchman Act

The Marchman Act in Florida provides emergency assistance and temporary detention for individuals requiring substance use evaluation and treatment within the state.

Can a Person be Forced into Drug Rehab?

The Marchman Act is used in extreme circumstances, and specific requirements must be met.

  • It must be initiated by filing a petition for involuntary assessment with a county court.
  • The petitioner must have a reason to believe that the individual has lost the power of self-control regarding their substance use.
  • In addition, the individual is likely to inflict self-harm upon themselves or others.
  • It must also be demonstrated the impaired individual cannot make rational decisions.

Although the Marchman Act is an option in Florida, Addicted.org recommends family intervention as the first choice. Working with a professional interventionist increases the chances of success when convincing an addict to attend drug rehab.

State and Local Resources in Florida

  • The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Program is the single state authority on substance abuse and mental health as designated by the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Individuals can access substance use treatment resources, recovery, and support networks.
  • Their substance abuse and mental health services offer options for adults, children, and providers. Adults can find substance abuse treatment, recovery residences, opioid overdose prevention, and many other options.
  • The Florida Behavioral Health Association provides extensive resources, including substance use and addiction treatment providers. There are resources for first responders, suicide prevention resources, mobile response teams, and opioid addiction prevention.
  • Numerous prevention resources are offered, including alcohol prevention, bullying prevention, student support services, and other resources.

His experience includes working with families during their loved one’s stay in treatment, helping those with substance abuse issues find treatment, and teaching life skills to patients in a recovery atmosphere. Though he has worked in many different areas of rehabilitation, the majority of his time was spent working one on one with patients who were actively withdrawing from drugs. Withdrawal and the fear of going through it is one biggest reason why an addict continues to use and can be the most difficult part of the rehabilitation process. His experience in the withdrawal atmosphere has taught him that regardless of what approach a person takes to get off drugs, there are always mental and emotional obstacles that need to be overcome. He believes having someone there to help a person through these obstacles can make all the difference during the withdrawal process.

Dr. Rohit S. Adi is certified in addiction medicine, through examination, by the American Board of Addiction Medicine. While in Louisiana, he worked as an emergency-room physician at Our Lady of Lourdes Regional Medical Center in Lafayette, Louisiana, but then transferred to Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center in Baton Rouge, where he works to this day. Holding numerous positions throughout his medical career, Dr. Adi has seen the devastating effects caused by drugs and alcohol. Having the ability to do something about the problem, he co-founded a holistic drug rehabilitation center in Louisiana, where he serves as the facility’s Medical Director.
