IMPOWER

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and inpatient residential. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Winter Springs is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

They treat mental health alongside the substance use, so both sides are handled in one place. Ask whether the psychiatric side is on site, because in Longwood that is the part that varies.

There is no fixed length. What is on offer tends to be a 30, 60 or 90 day program. Longer time in treatment is associated with better outcomes, which is why the step down to outpatient care matters. Ask how many hours a week an outpatient program actually takes, because it varies widely.

Treatment is not usually a single event, and the first attempt teaching you something is part of how it works. Tolerance falls quickly during any break from use, which makes the stretch right after a program the riskiest one. Going back sooner rather than later is the part that matters most.
