Why Some Floridians Choose California

For some people, a fresh setting far from home makes it easier to focus on detox and early recovery.

Reasons people give include:
Distance from the people, places and routines connected to using
More privacy, away from local communities and workplaces
A private residential setting with 24/7 clinical care

Planning the Trip From Florida

Flights from Miami, Orlando or Tampa to the Los Angeles area take about five to six hours, and California is three hours behind most of Florida.

Before you travel, our team helps with:
Checking whether your plan covers treatment outside Florida
Transportation planning and arrival logistics
Planning aftercare and support back in Florida before you leave

Coming Home to Florida

The duration of inpatient drug and alcohol rehab at Regal can vary widely depending on the individual’s specific needs. Most clients begin their recovery journey with a 30-day residential program, designed to provide a strong clinical foundation for sobriety. However, the exact length of treatment is always personalized—based on a comprehensive assessment of each individual’s medical history, addiction severity, and emotional needs.
Some clients benefit from extended care lasting 60 to 90 days, especially if there are underlying mental health conditions or a history of relapse. We believe in flexible, client-centered timelines that prioritize sustainable outcomes over rushed results.
As clients progress, our team may recommend a step-down to additional levels of care, such as outpatient treatment or sober living—ensuring continued support and accountability beyond residential care.
At Regal, we focus on lasting transformation—not just temporary relief.

FAQ

Does Regal have a detox center in Florida?

No. Regal Treatment has one facility, in Southern California. We welcome Florida residents who choose to travel for detox and rehab.

How do I get to Regal from Florida?

The simplest route is a flight from Miami, Orlando or Tampa to a Los Angeles-area airport, about five to six hours. Our team helps with transportation planning and arrival logistics.

What is Florida's Marchman Act, and does it apply here?

The Marchman Act lets families in Florida petition a court for involuntary assessment and treatment of substance use. It's a Florida court process, so it doesn't govern voluntary treatment in another state.

If you're weighing it for a loved one, talk with a Florida attorney first, and call us to discuss voluntary treatment options.

Should I detox in Florida or travel to California?

It depends. Detox close to home is often simplest, especially if you need care urgently. Traveling can help if distance from triggers or privacy matters most. Either way, choose a licensed, medically supervised program.

Will my Florida insurance cover treatment in California?

Often, if you have a PPO plan with out-of-network benefits. HMO and EPO plans usually require in-network care, and Medicaid generally covers treatment only in your home state. A free benefits check will tell you what your plan covers.

At Regal, our admissions team works directly with insurance companies to verify your benefits quickly and confidentially. We encourage all prospective clients to use our Insurance Verification tool on our Admissions page or contact us directly—we’ll handle the details so you can focus on getting better.

No. Clients come to Regal from across California and other states, and our admissions team can help coordinate travel and arrival.
