We first must learn how Free Drug Rehab Centers work in Florida and there are a few distinct types to look for.

Vocational or work-study drug rehab center

When you enter into one of these treatment centers there is an exchange of labor on the part of the addict to cover the cost associated with their treatment. Most of these types of programs have a Christian tract along with the work program. These types of treatment programs will usually take about 6 months to a year to complete the program. Salvation Army, Teen Challenge and Centikor are a few examples of programs offered in Florida.

Donation or goodwill drug rehabs

These programs are funded mainly by private parties, individuals or organizations. Some of these programs require a bit of a donation from either the addict or family. When giving us a call, please let us know if you need a scholarship. We sometimes have private drug rehabs that offer scholarships for us to help with the need for treatment. Donation based rehabs may seem rare but we have a list of these programs that are supported by churches throughout the country.

State Funded Rehab in Florida

The facilities that are operated and funded by the state are paid for by grants, both at the federal level, as well as the state and county level of governments. Most of these sliding scale fee rehab programs are filled with clients that are there for deferred drug or alcohol offenses. Being that these programs are used by the courts heavily, getting someone into one of these programs without a lengthy waiting list can be next to impossible.

When looking for free drug rehab, it is important to understand that depending on the drugs or alcohol dependency involved, you may or may not need a medically supervised detox first.

Is there a detox in a free or donation based drug rehab in Florida?

Free rehab in Florida, may or may not have a medically supervised detox. Most will have a room where you can tough it out your own and detox without the use of medications. If the facility staff sees that someone is having distress due to heavy withdrawal symptoms, they will have you transported to the nearest hospital.

When looking for a free medically supervised detox for opiates such as Heroin, Oxycontin, or Methadone, it is important to be aware that your detox may not be medicated and you will receive no medications to relieve the painful withdrawal symptoms.
