Levels of Care: Medical Detox | Residential | Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) | Partial Hospitalization (PHP) | Intensive Outpatient (IOP) | Dual Diagnosis | Aftercare

Why We Selected WhiteSands Alcohol & Drug Rehab – Fort Myers

WhiteSands Treatment in Fort Myers provides four to five individual or family therapy sessions per week during residential treatment, giving clients ample time to work directly with their primary therapist instead of mostly participating in group programming. Residential clients also meet daily with a Life Skills Guide to develop healthy routines related to sleep, exercise, nutrition and recovery goals. Medical and psychiatric providers remain involved throughout treatment, providing care for depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder and other co-occurring conditions.

Named one of America’s Best Addiction Treatment Centers in 2025 by Newsweek, the Fort Myers campus provides a broad continuum of care. Clients may begin with medically assisted detox when necessary, followed by residential treatment before stepping down to a partial hospitalization or intensive outpatient program. Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is also available when appropriate for opioid and alcohol use disorders. Ongoing alumni services, relapse-prevention support and other aftercare resources extend support beyond initial treatment stays to help support long-term recovery.

Practical comforts to help make an intensive treatment schedule more manageable include private bedrooms and access to phones and laptops outside treatment hours. WhiteSands sits on a 10-acre campus with a wide array of amenities, including a pool and fitness center, yoga classes, spa and salon services, a 24-hour cafe and holistic therapies, such as massage and acupuncture.

Good Fit For:

• Adults needing a flexible program that includes inpatient and outpatient treatment
• Professionals or others who value access to phones and laptops nightly, outside scheduled treatment hours
• Those who prefer private accommodations along with fitness, yoga, personal training and other wellness options

May Not Be the Best Fit For:

• People relying on Medicare or Medicaid as their primary source of coverage
• Individuals who aren’t ready for a structured treatment environment that includes daily participation in therapy and recovery-focused activities
• Those whose primary clinical needs require a different level of care, such as acute psychiatric stabilization or specialized medical treatment that can’t be provided in a rehab setting

Questions to Ask Before Admission:

• How long should I expect to remain in residential treatment before transitioning to a partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP)?

Why We Selected Real Recovery Solutions – North Tampa

Real Recovery Solutions – North Tampa offers an unusually broad treatment continuum at the same address, including residential treatment, a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP) and standard outpatient therapy. This continuum allows clients to move from a highly structured residential setting into progressively more independent treatment while remaining connected to the same recovery organization. Treatment combines a strong 12-step foundation with individual, group and family therapy, evidence-based approaches and care for co-occurring mental health conditions.

The North Tampa property also puts significant emphasis on preparing clients for everyday responsibilities. Its recovery housing (sober living) includes 16 furnished apartments, high-speed Wi-Fi, a gym, a business resource center and other shared amenities. Clients are encouraged to work, attend school or volunteer, and nearby employment resources and proximity to the University of South Florida can make the location particularly practical for those rebuilding educational or career goals.

Real Recovery also maintains a structured electronics policy. Residential clients have a 7-day phone blackout before gaining access to one approved personal device outside clinical hours. Continuing support extends through an alumni network with peer connections, recovery-focused activities, events and practical resources.

Good Fit For:

• Clients wanting residential, PHP, IOP and outpatient treatment available at the same facility
• Students or professionals rebuilding work or educational routines while in a structured recovery environment
• People who would benefit from strong accountability through 12-step participation, peer support, curfews and substance testing
• Individuals needing a structured routine, including scheduled groups, individual sessions, recovery-focused education and wellness activities to build consistency and stabilize the mind and body
•  Those interested in combining evidence-based treatment with yoga, meditation, exercise and nutritional counseling

May Not Be the Best Fit For:

• Those preferring a secluded, rural or resort-style treatment environment rather than a North Tampa location near schools, businesses and major roads

• Individuals needing more frequent individual therapy during residential treatment

Questions to Ask Before Admission:

• How frequently will I receive individual therapy at each level of care?
• What requirements apply if I want to work or attend school while in the program?

Levels of Care: Medical Detox | Inpatient/Residential | Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) | Dual Diagnosis | Aftercare

Why We Selected Boca Recovery Center – Pompano Beach

One of Boca Recovery Center – Pompano Beach’s strongest features is its dedicated programming for veterans, LGBTQ+ clients and executives. The veterans program incorporates trauma-informed care, veteran-specific education and treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety and other co-occurring conditions. LGBTQ+ programming addresses concerns such as trauma, stigma, family dynamics and mental health conditions in an affirming environment. Executives can maintain necessary work responsibilities through phone and internet access, with private rooms available for additional privacy.

Clinical care can begin with 24-hour medical detox and medication-assisted treatment for opioid or alcohol use disorders before transitioning into residential treatment. Boca offers both shorter residential stays and a 60- to 90-plus-day option, allowing treatment length to reflect individual needs. Depending on the program, therapy may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, individual and family counseling and trauma-focused care. Private or semiprivate accommodations, fitness and recreation options and complimentary transportation from local airports add practical benefits, while individualized aftercare planning helps you prepare for continued treatment and recovery support after discharge.

Good Fit For:

• Veterans who would benefit from trauma-informed treatment and veteran-specific recovery groups
• LGBTQ+ clients looking for affirming care that addresses trauma and co-occurring mental health conditions
• Executives needing limited access to work responsibilities through phone and internet availability during residential treatment
• People seeking medication-assisted treatment for opioid or alcohol use disorders
• Out-of-town/state clients who need help with transportation from a local airport and value private accommodations

May Not Be the Best Fit For:

• People seeking a smaller residential setting (the Pompano Beach facility lists an occupancy of 31 to 50 clients)
• Professionals who need immediate unrestricted access to phones or laptops within the first few days of treatment
• Clients who want to complete a partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP) at the same location after residential treatment (Boca uses outside referrals for these step-down levels of care)

Questions to Ask Before Admission:

• How does programming differ for veterans, LGBTQ+ clients and executives?
• Which specialty services would be included in my treatment plan?
• Which medication-assisted treatment medications are available, and can I continue them throughout residential care and after discharge?
• Are private rooms available to all clients or those in certain programs, and do they cost more?
• Which airports qualify for complimentary transportation, and how far in advance should I arrange pickup?

Why We Selected Amethyst Recovery Center

Amethyst Recovery Center distinguishes itself by offering an alumni program with specific, ongoing resources after formal treatment ends. Former clients can participate in monthly accountability check-ins and recovery-focused events, get help connecting with 12-step programs and access job-placement and resume-building resources. Aftercare planning begins several weeks before residential discharge, helping clients arrange continued counseling, peer support and medical care before returning to everyday life.

Treatment at the Port St. Lucie facility may begin with 24-hour medically supervised detox before progressing into residential care that lasts 30 days or more. Residential programming includes individual therapy, daily group sessions, medication management and treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions if applicable. Group sessions incorporate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), process groups and 12-step recovery, and family members are encouraged to participate throughout treatment.

The nearly 13,000-square-foot facility places considerable emphasis on comfort. Residential clients stay in double-occupancy rooms with televisions, cable TV and video game systems. Chef-prepared meals, nutritional support, yoga, art and music therapy, massage therapy, basketball, outdoor movies and other recreational options provide additional ways to stay engaged outside scheduled clinical programming.

Good Fit For:

• Individuals needing 24-hour medical supervision during withdrawal before transitioning into residential care
• Families wanting to remain involved throughout a loved one’s treatment and recovery process
• Those seeking the serenity of a quiet beach town near the ocean to support their recovery journey
• People interested in balancing evidence-based treatment with yoga, massage, art, music and other holistic approaches
• Clients who value ongoing accountability, recovery events, 12-step assistance and employment-related resources after treatment

May Not Be the Best Fit For:

• Clients without a substance use disorder who need primary mental health treatment, which Amethyst directs to its affiliated behavioral health program
• Adults wanting a brief residential stabilization program that lasts less than 30 days
• Anyone uncomfortable sharing a bedroom and bathroom, since residential accommodations are double occupancy with shared bathrooms

Questions to Ask Before Admission:

• How frequently will I meet individually with a therapist during residential treatment?
• How do you determine whether my residential stay should extend beyond 30 days?
• How often can family members participate in therapy or family-support programming?
• Which holistic services are included in the standard cost of treatment?

Levels of Care: Medical Detox | Inpatient/Residential | Medication Assisted Treatment | Relapse Recovery | Dual Diagnosis | Aftercare/Alumni Program

Why We Selected Stepping Stone Center for Recovery

Stepping Stone Center for Recovery offers a dedicated Relapse Recovery Program for people returning to treatment after a recurrence of substance use. Rather than simply repeating an earlier treatment experience, the short-term residential program focuses closely on what contributed to the relapse, including triggers and cravings, as well as warning signs, coping strategies and when to ask for help. Individual and group therapy help clients identify what needs to change before they return to everyday life. This program usually lasts up to 2 weeks.

For those earlier in the recovery process, the Stabilization Program combines medically supervised detox with psychiatric and physical evaluations, 24-hour nursing and daily medical visits. Medication-assisted treatment may be used when appropriate, while co-occurring depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and other psychiatric concerns can be evaluated and treated alongside addiction. This program lasts 10 to 15 days and is appropriate for those new to treatment and those who’ve relapsed.

Case management and discharge planning begin during treatment to coordinate medical appointments, referrals and other continuing care needs. Post-treatment support continues through an established alumni program offering phone and email follow-ups, support groups, social events, private online peer support and lifelong access to a certified recovery coach. The Jacksonville location is minutes from area beaches and close to the airport, hotels and restaurants, making travel and family involvement more convenient.

Good Fit For:

• Those returning to treatment after relapse who need concentrated work on triggers, cravings and coping strategies
• Individuals needing medical stabilization with 24-hour nursing, daily medical visits and psychiatric evaluation
• Clients who value continuing peer support and lifelong access to a certified recovery coach after treatment
• Out-of-area clients with families wanting a Jacksonville location near the airport, beaches, hotels, restaurants and other conveniences
• People more comfortable with apartment-style residential spaces that include laundry facilities, common rooms and areas for games or television

May Not Be the Best Fit For:

• Those seeking a long-term residential stay of 30 days or more, as both programs here are short-term
• People specifically looking for a gender-specific treatment facility, since Stepping Stone serves both men and women
• Individuals wanting a private room

Questions to Ask Before Admission:

• How much individual therapy is included in the Relapse Recovery Program?
• At what point in treatment can I leave the premises to purchase personal items?
• Which medications can continue after detox if they’re still clinically appropriate?
• Is transportation available from Jacksonville International Airport?
• What options do I have if my insurer stops authorizing treatment before your team recommends discharge?

Levels of Care: Medical Detox | Residential | Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) | Dual Diagnosis

Why We Selected All In Solutions Wellness Center – West Palm Beach

All In Solutions Wellness Center limits its West Palm Beach program to 22 clients and maintains a staff-to-client ratio of at least 1 staff member per 4 clients, creating a smaller treatment environment with substantial access to support. The facility provides 24-hour nursing during medical detox and residential treatment. Clients also receive psychiatric care, individual therapy with a master’s-level therapist and daily group programming.

Dual diagnosis treatment begins with a psychiatric evaluation and medication management, with medication-assisted treatment available when clinically appropriate. The facility incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), yoga, meditation, acupuncture and other clinical or holistic approaches into treatment.

Another useful feature is dedicated case management for every client. Case managers can help address issues that might interfere with treatment, including insurance concerns, Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or short-term disability paperwork, probation or parole requirements, legal matters and discharge planning. Clients typically remain at the West Palm Beach facility for 14 to 21 days before continuing appropriate treatment, which may include a coordinated transition into a partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP) at All In Solutions’ separate Boynton Beach center.

Good Fit For:

• People more comfortable in a smaller 22-client treatment environment
• Clients needing 24-hour nursing and medical supervision during withdrawal and early stabilization
• Adults balancing treatment with FMLA, disability, legal or probation-related responsibilities that a dedicated case manager can help address
• Those interested in combining evidence-based therapy with yoga, meditation, acupuncture and other holistic practices
• Individuals who’ve relapsed and need to stabilize before resuming outpatient treatment

May Not Be the Best Fit For:

• People who consider a private room essential, since this facility only has semiprivate accommodations
• Professionals needing regular unrestricted access to personal phones or laptops during treatment, since electronics aren’t allowed
• Those wanting a fully secular program without regular 12-step involvement, as AA, NA or CA meetings are scheduled daily

Questions to Ask Before Admission:

• How often will I meet individually with my master’s-level therapist?
• Which team members are included in the facility’s ratio of 1 staff member per 4 clients?
• How is the 14- to 21-day treatment length adjusted if I need more time before stepping down to outpatient care?
• What access will I have to phones, tablets or the internet during treatment?
• How is a transition into PHP or IOP at the Boynton Beach facility coordinated?

Why We Selected Guardian Recovery – Immersion Residential

Guardian Recovery – Immersion Residential provides medical detox followed by residential treatment, with the initial phase focused on stabilization, assessment, education and motivation. The facility integrates 12-step recovery deeply into its medical and clinical model rather than treating meetings as an optional add-on. Treatment incorporates individual and group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), holistic approaches and intensive 12-step mentoring designed to help clients identify thought and behavior patterns that contribute to continued substance use or relapse.

The facility also offers a distinctive Kosher Recovery Program for Jewish clients wanting to maintain cultural and religious practices during treatment. Services include kosher meals prepared by a knowledgeable chef, access to a Jewish Community Liaison, connections with a local rabbi and synagogue and accommodations for Shabbos and Jewish holidays. Kosher services are available during detox and inpatient treatment.

Immersion Residential has private rooms and offers same-day admissions when appropriate. Family therapy, education and weekend visits allow loved ones to participate in treatment. Following residential treatment, clients wanting to step down to Immersion Outpatient services can receive PHP, intensive outpatient (IOP) or standard outpatient treatment by transitioning to the Delray Beach facility, less than 10 miles away. Continuing support includes aftercare planning and an alumni program with meetings, sober social events, educational sessions, mentorship opportunities and ongoing recovery resources.

Good Fit For:

• Adults interested in beginning treatment quickly when a bed and medical clearance are available
• Clients needing integrated substance use and mental health treatment
• Jewish clients wanting kosher meals, religious-observance support and access to culturally informed recovery resources
• People seeking intensive 12-step mentoring to support clinical and holistic therapies
• Individuals wanting medical detox and residential treatment provided at the same facility

Questions to Ask Before Admission:

• How frequently will I meet individually with my primary therapist?
• What determines whether I qualify for same-day admission?
• What restrictions apply to phones or laptops during residential treatment?

Why We Selected Genesis House

Genesis House has remained family-owned and operated since 1992, giving it more than three decades of experience providing addiction treatment in South Florida. Its secluded 3-acre campus consists of eight buildings surrounded by palm trees, gardens and outdoor recreation areas rather than a single clinical building. Apartment-style housing offers individual rooms, while treatment takes place in clinical offices on the same campus and staff are available around the clock.

When appropriate, clients begin with medical detox, followed by residential treatment, which generally lasts 30 to 90 days. Programming combines cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), 12-step facilitation, trauma and process groups with holistic options such as art, music and animal-assisted therapy. Its animal program is particularly distinctive because it includes llamas, donkeys, baby goats and rabbits. A full-time attending psychiatrist evaluates and treats co-occurring mental health conditions.

Continuing support includes an alumni program with weekly and monthly check-ins, in-person events, livestreams and private online groups for clients who no longer live nearby. A swimming pool, basketball and beach volleyball courts, grilling areas, hammocks and optional weekly massage provide additional ways to relax and stay engaged when not in treatment.

Good Fit For:

• Adults preferring a secluded 3-acre tropical campus with apartment-style housing and individual rooms
• People interested in animal-assisted therapy alongside traditional behavioral therapies
• Those with co-occurring mental health conditions who benefit from access to a full-time attending psychiatrist
• Individuals seeking residential programs with approved weekend outings, such as beach trips, picnics, movies and mini golf
• Clients wanting alumni support with regular check-ins and virtual ways to remain connected after returning home

May Not Be the Best Fit For:

• Clients preferring treatment that primarily incorporates one-on-one sessions rather than multiple types of group programming daily
• People wanting a completely secular program without 12-step or spiritual elements
• Families needing highly flexible visitation rather than visits scheduled only on Sundays

Questions to Ask Before Admission:

• How frequently will I meet individually with my primary therapist?
• How often is animal-assisted therapy available during residential treatment?
• What restrictions apply during the initial 1-week blackout period?
• How much of my treatment plan will involve 12-step or spiritual programming?
• How are alumni check-ins handled if I live outside Florida?

Why We Selected The Retreat of Broward

The Retreat of Broward is one of the most clinically versatile options because its Pompano Beach facility provides medical detox, residential addiction treatment and inpatient mental health care under one roof. This combination can be particularly valuable when substance use is complicated by serious psychiatric symptoms or a person’s needs change after stabilization. Clients can move directly from detox into residential addiction treatment or inpatient mental health care without leaving the facility, while co-occurring conditions are assessed and addressed from the beginning of treatment.

Medical detox includes 24-hour supervision and medication-assisted treatment when appropriate, with options including methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone. Residential treatment generally lasts 30 to 90 days and incorporates individual, group and family therapy, along with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and psychiatric medication management when needed. The inpatient mental health program can treat bipolar disorder, major depression, complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD), schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder and other conditions. The Retreat of Broward has private and semiprivate rooms, catered meals and is in-network with Cigna and TRICARE.

Good Fit For:

• People with substance use disorders and significant mental health symptoms that may require inpatient psychiatric care
• Clients who could benefit from moving directly from medical detox into residential addiction or mental health treatment
• Those needing medication-assisted treatment involving methadone, buprenorphine, naltrexone or other clinically appropriate medications
• Loved ones seeking opportunities to participate through family counseling during treatment
• Cigna or TRICARE members looking for an in-network detox and residential treatment option

May Not Be the Best Fit For:

• Clients wanting a highly specialized single-focus program rather than a facility treating both substance use disorders and a broad range of psychiatric conditions
• People whose top priority is a resort-style or recreation-heavy treatment experience rather than a clinically focused inpatient setting
• Those seeking a long-term residential or therapeutic-community model lasting several months beyond the facility’s typical 30- to 90-day residential range

Questions to Ask Before Admission:

• If I have both a substance use disorder and a psychiatric condition, how will you determine whether I enter residential addiction treatment or inpatient mental health care?
• Can my medication-assisted treatment continue after I leave?
• How frequently are individual and family therapy sessions scheduled during residential treatment?
• Is there an additional charge if I’m assigned a private room instead of a semiprivate room?
• Which partial hospitalization program (PHP) or intensive outpatient program (IOP) providers do you typically refer clients to, and will that transition be arranged before discharge?

Why We Selected Recovery Keys

Recovery Keys offers physician-led residential addiction treatment with specialized support for healthcare workers and other professionals whose careers may be affected by a substance use disorder. Its professional program serves physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, pilots, attorneys and executives, with staff experienced in working with employers, licensing boards, courts and professional monitoring programs. Medical Director Dr. Jeremy Mirabile is board-certified in addiction medicine, and the broader clinical team includes physicians, licensed counselors and addiction therapists.

The residential facility provides medically supervised detox before continuing into inpatient treatment. Programming includes individual, group and family therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), dual diagnosis treatment and holistic approaches, such as yoga, meditation, exercise, nutrition, art therapy and mindfulness.

As the only drug and alcohol treatment center in Ponte Vedra Beach (as of August 2026), Recovery Keys is just steps from the water, so you can take advantage of beach walks and other outdoor activities. Comfortable residential spaces, luxurious amenities and chef-prepared meals enhance the treatment environment. Those needing continued care following the residential program can transition to Recovery Keys’ separate outpatient center, also in Ponte Vedra Beach, for partial hospitalization (PHP) or intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment and aftercare services.

• Healthcare workers, pilots and other licensed professionals who need help coordinating treatment with employers, licensing boards or monitoring programs

• Clients wanting outpatient treatment and aftercare services provided at the same location as residential treatment instead of at a separate address
• Individuals who aren’t comfortable in a seaside resort community or prefer basic, no-frills treatment environments over luxurious features
• People needing primary inpatient psychiatric treatment rather than addiction care that also addresses co-occurring mental health conditions

Why We Selected River Oaks Outpatient Treatment

River Oaks Outpatient Treatment offers several ways to receive structured addiction care without living at the rehab facility. Its partial hospitalization program (PHP) provides more than 30 hours of treatment each week, while the intensive outpatient program (IOP) meets three to five mornings per week in 3-hour blocks. Those needing an evening option can participate in a virtual IOP from home for 9 hours each week. The virtual and in-person programs use the same clinical team and evidence-based treatment model, creating additional flexibility if your work, school or family responsibilities change.

Treatment may include individual, group and family therapy, along with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing and trauma-focused approaches. Medication-assisted treatment is available when clinically appropriate. Integrated care addresses substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). You can also participate in traditional 12-step groups or secular alternatives.

PHP and IOP clients may live at home and commute, but those needing additional structure can use River Oaks’ sober supportive housing located in a separate wing of its residential addiction treatment center that’s adjacent to its outpatient facility. Case management and discharge planning are available to help you coordinate continuing care, and the Community of Alumni Recovering Everywhere (CARE) program provides an alumni app, meetings, speaker events, sober outings and ongoing peer connections after treatment.

Why We Selected Crystal Lake Healing

Crystal Lake Healing combines drug and alcohol treatment at its Deerfield Beach clinical center with separate community housing for clients in its partial hospitalization program (PHP). The furnished residences are in a quiet lakeside setting a short drive from the building where therapy occurs, with transportation provided between the two. This arrangement gives clients a structured place to live during early recovery without enrolling in traditional inpatient treatment. PHP at Crystal Lake includes at least 20 hours of weekly clinical care, with individual, group and family therapy, plus relapse-prevention work, wellness programming and treatment for co-occurring conditions.

A peer mentor is also available to help you adjust to treatment and connect with the recovery community.

The community housing experience adds practical and lifestyle benefits. Residences include lakeside outdoor spaces, a pool, Wi-Fi and comfortable rooms. Weekend activities may include community outings and grocery shopping. Case managers begin discharge planning during treatment and can coordinate a transition into its intensive outpatient program (IOP), therapy appointments and other continuing care resources.
