Understanding Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)
Alcohol affects an estimated 29 million Americans. In Florida, alcohol contributes to roughly 2,500 deaths annually. Critically: alcohol withdrawal can be medically fatal. Unlike most other substances, abrupt cessation in heavy drinkers can cause seizures and delirium tremens. Medical detox is not just recommended — it can be life-saving.
Residential (30-90 days): Addresses triggers, trauma, relapse prevention through CBT and group therapy.
MAT: Naltrexone (Vivitrol), acamprosate, and disulfiram are FDA-approved for AUD.
IOP + Outpatient: Ongoing support while living at home or sober living.
Can I detox from alcohol at home? ▼
For anyone who drinks heavily, has a history of withdrawal symptoms, or has ever had a seizure while stopping — medical detox in a facility is strongly recommended and can be life-saving. Do not attempt cold turkey withdrawal from alcohol without medical guidance.
Does insurance cover alcohol rehab in Florida? ▼
Yes. The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act requires most commercial insurers to cover AUD treatment. BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Humana, Medicaid, and Medicare all cover varying levels of care. ClearPath verifies your specific benefits before matching you.
