If you are not involved in the field of addiction treatment you might think there is a big difference between a drug rehab and an alcohol rehab. The truth is that there is no difference between a drug rehab and alcohol rehab program with the exception of the specific substance.

Florida alcohol rehabs have come a long way over the last few years with regards to working within the DCF guidelines in developing creative residential alcohol rehabilitation programs. While still providing alcohol detox services, Florida alcohol rehabs can provide residential alcohol treatment services in an alcohol rehab facility, as well as, fully staffed apartment settings. This type of alcohol rehab program is more comfortable for the patient, is less costly and provides for a longer length of stay.

Alcohol rehabs in Florida differ in philosophy and lengths of stay. Some Florida alcohol rehabs have their own alcohol detox program, while others refer patients outside of their facility for alcohol detox. Each alcohol rehab meets the needs of a specific patient.
