Insurance Coverage

Self-pay options
Using self-pay in Florida to pay for rehab means writing a check, using a medical loan, or having money electronically sent to the treatment center. Be sure to check on the fee structure, which may depend on the level of care.
Sliding scale payment assistance
In Florida, finding a center with a sliding scale payment plan is one option when it comes to making rehab more affordable. A sliding scale allows those in need to pay less for treatment based on their income and family size. You may have to provide financial documentation.
Medicaid
If you have Medicaid, you can use it to help pay for substance use treatment in Florida. Medicaid pays for most or all of the costs of rehab, making treatment much more accessible.
Medicare
When looking for ways to pay for rehab in Florida, consider Medicare. Keep in mind that you’ll need to choose a center that accepts your plan, and you might have out-of-pocket costs such as a deductible or copayment. Look into your plan documents for full details.
Private insurance
One of the best ways to pay for rehab in Florida is to use private insurance, which can pay for some or all of the cost. Contact your insurer to get full details, such as what centers are in-network with your plan and what out-of-pocket costs you might be responsible for.

Levels of Care

If you want to attend school or work during rehab, consider outpatient treatment in Florida. You’ll live independently except when you’re attending rehab.

Therapies

Cognitive Behavior Therapy
Cognitive behavioral therapy in Florida gives you tools to challenge your thinking patterns. During treatment, you’ll examine common thought distortions, identify learned negative behaviors, and develop the skills necessary to consciously choose a different reaction to each situation.
Experiential Therapy
If you’re struggling with substance use in Florida, experiential therapy can help you work through emotions so you can make positive changes. During experiential therapy, you’ll work through activities that will help you work through past experiences and emotions. Afterward, you’ll have the tools you need to address problems and manage triggers in a healthy way.
Family Therapy
Overcoming substance use is easier if you have support from your loved ones. During family therapy in Florida, you can address challenging relationships and family conflicts to restore peace and make recovery easier. Family therapy is only one element of rehab treatment, along with activities, peer support, individual and group counseling, relapse prevention, and more. Together, all these methods support you in establishing long-term recovery.
Group Therapy

Group therapy sessions generally last 60 to 90 minutes and may include discussing a specific issue, sharing wins and challenges, education about specific topics, or developing life skills.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy in Florida helps clients overcome substance use by providing individualized, confidential support. Individual therapy is a normal part of evidence-based treatment programs, and may be a part of inpatient treatment, outpatient care, or both. Topics include processing past events that may have contributed to substance use, learning new life skills, and relapse prevention strategies.
Trauma Therapy
Many people with addiction issues in Florida use substances to decrease difficult feelings such as guilt, shame, fear, and more. Trauma-informed therapy can help you understand where these feelings come from and how to deal with them in a better way. Trauma-informed therapy may be part of both inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment and may include peer support, mental health medications, mindfulness, and developing new coping strategies.
