AlcoholAwareness.org provides residential alcohol treatment in Pompano Beach, Florida. Residential care is a live-in program where you stay on site with 24/7 support while you work through the core of recovery, away from the people, places, and routines tied to drinking. We treat adults from across South Florida, including Fort Lauderdale, Deerfield Beach, Coconut Creek, and Boca Raton, and we welcome people who travel in from other states. We work with major insurance carriers including Cigna, Aetna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, and verify your benefits for free. Call (855) 955-0771 to speak with our admissions team, or ask us to check your insurance and tell you what your plan covers.
Who residential alcohol treatment is for
Residential care fits people whose drinking is moderate to severe, who have tried to stop without lasting success, or who have relapsed after a lower level of care. It also fits people whose home life makes sobriety hard to hold, where the structure and distance of a live-in program give recovery the room it needs. If alcohol has caused withdrawal symptoms when you stop, treatment starts with medically supervised alcohol detox and moves into residential care once you are stable. If you are not sure whether residential is the right level, our admissions team will tell you plainly after a short assessment.
What residential alcohol treatment involves
In residential care you live on site with around-the-clock support and follow a structured daily schedule, which is part of what makes early recovery hold. Mornings start with breakfast and a check-in group, followed by a main therapy group on a topic such as relapse prevention, coping skills, or the roots of addiction. Clients have individual therapy sessions through the week, along with specialized groups for trauma, dual diagnosis, and family issues. Afternoons mix process groups with education and wellness activity, and evenings include peer support such as 12-step or SMART Recovery meetings. Medical and psychiatric staff are available throughout. The program is offered in 30, 60, and 90 day lengths, set by the severity of the addiction and how a person responds.
What residential alcohol treatment includes
Residential care covers more than therapy. A stay includes room and board with on-site meals, 24/7 nursing and medical oversight, psychiatric care and medication management, individual and group therapy, and specialized groups for trauma and family. Case management handles the practical side of treatment, wellness activity and structured downtime are built into the week, and aftercare planning starts early so the move to a lower level of care is set before discharge. Most of this is covered by insurance, and we confirm what your plan pays before you commit.
How your treatment plan is personalized
In residential care the plan is reviewed most often, because a live-in stay gives the team daily contact. The intake assessment sets your therapy schedule, medication, and expected length of stay, and weekly reviews adjust all three as you stabilize toward a step down.
Therapies and medications
Residential care carries the heaviest therapy schedule, individual sessions through the week plus daily process, trauma, and family groups, because a live-in stay leaves room for it. The three FDA-approved alcohol medications, naltrexone, acamprosate, and disulfiram, are available and managed on site when a clinician decides they fit. Our alcohol treatment overview covers the full method set.
Dual diagnosis and co-occurring conditions
In residential care the co-occurring condition is treated in a 24/7 setting, which matters when symptoms are severe enough to destabilize early sobriety. A psychiatrist is involved from intake, medication is adjusted and monitored on site around the clock, and the therapy schedule addresses the mental health condition and the drinking as one plan.
Where residential care fits in the continuum
Residential is the most structured live-in level below detox. Many people enter after alcohol detox, then step down to a partial hospitalization program, intensive outpatient, and outpatient alcohol treatment as they stabilize. Because the whole continuum runs under one program in Pompano Beach, there is no handoff to an outside facility between stages. Residential care is one part of our alcohol rehab program.
Insurance and admissions
Residential care is authorized as a live-in stay, so coverage is tied to bed availability and the length your plan approves. Most major carriers, including Cigna, Aetna, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, cover a share of residential treatment, typically an initial block of days with reauthorization as you progress. We verify for free with no obligation, confirm the length your plan supports, and coordinate the admission date with an open bed. Call (855) 955-0771 to check coverage and reserve a place.

Residential alcohol treatment FAQ
How long is residential alcohol treatment?
Residential care is offered in 30, 60, and 90 day lengths, set by the severity of the addiction and how a person responds. After the assessment our team gives you a clear estimate rather than a guess.
What is the difference between residential and outpatient treatment?
The difference is where you sleep and how much support surrounds you. Residential means living on site with staff and structure around the clock, which suits people whose home would pull them back toward drinking. Outpatient means keeping your own home and coming in for sessions, which suits a stable home and a lighter level of need.
Do you treat people from out of state?
Yes. We treat Florida residents and people who travel to Pompano Beach from other states for residential care. Many choose to recover away from home, and our admissions team helps arrange the trip and airport pickup.
What is included in a residential stay?
A residential stay includes room and board with on-site meals, 24/7 nursing and medical oversight, psychiatric care and medication management, individual and group therapy, and aftercare planning before discharge. Most of it is covered by insurance, which we verify first.
What happens after residential treatment?
When the live-in stay ends, care does not stop. Most people move into a day program or intensive outpatient at the same facility, keep the same therapists, and join the alumni community, so the drop from around-the-clock support to daily life is gradual rather than sudden.
