How to Choose Treatment in Winter Haven

If you’re looking for the best help for you in Winter Haven, you have options. You can find strong outpatient counseling, medications for addiction treatment (MAT), and 24/7 crisis support. Same-day detox or residential admission are possible, but beds can be limited — especially for pregnant or postpartum people and teens — so it helps to call ahead. Most private insurance plans are accepted, and if you don’t have insurance, there are free or very low-cost programs available. If you want luxury amenities or highly specialized programs, you may need to look outside of Winter Haven.

Can I start detox in Winter Haven today?

Yes — help can start today. Call a 24/7 clinic to begin medication for withdrawal and stabilization. Call first to confirm space: 

• Tri-County Human Services: 863-533-4139

• Winter Haven Hospital – Center for Behavioral Health: 863-294-7062

• Lakeland Regional Health: 863-687-1222

When you call, ask about language services and transportation assistance if needed. If they’re full, ask for bridge care (telehealth, interim medications, groups) so you can start right away.

Do I need to travel for rehab, or is care available in Winter Haven?

You usually don’t have to travel. Winter Haven offers medical detox, inpatient rehab, intensive outpatient (IOP), partial hospitalization (PHP), MAT, counseling, recovery housing, and telehealth for flexibility. Travel helps if you need same-day residential and beds are full or if you have specific preferences like private rooms, pet-friendly programs, or specialized tracks.

Choosing the Right Rehab

How do I choose the right level of care?

Start with an independent assessment from a clinician who specializes in substance use problems and isn’t employed by a treatment center. They can help you choose between treatment options like outpatient, residential, hospital inpatient, withdrawal management (detox), and medications used alongside therapy. Learn more about choosing the right rehab for your needs. 

Who can help me choose the best rehab in Winter Haven right now?

Dial 2-1-1 for quick referrals or Peace River Center for navigation and connection to help. Ask about wait times, bridge care, and language services. When you call, say: ‘I’m in Winter Haven and need [detox/IOP/residential]; I have [no insurance/Medicare/other]. Do you have openings this week?’

How can I check if a Winter Haven rehab is licensed (and accredited)?

You can check whether a rehab in Winter Haven is licensed by searching the facility name or city in FloridaHealthFinder’s Facility Search tool, which lists licensed health and treatment providers and their current status. Before you choose, ask the program whether they hold national accreditation (e.g., The Joint Commission or CARF). Accreditation isn’t required, but it’s a useful extra quality signal. Learn more about accreditation and other indicators of quality care.
