Get the Support You Need to Begin Recovery

If drinking or drugs have started to take control of your life, knowing where to turn can feel overwhelming. At Recovery Centers of America at Mount Dora, you don’t have to figure it out alone. Our team delivers nationally recognized care, including medically supervised detox, residential inpatient addiction treatment, and outpatient services in an environment that’s intentionally designed to help you take the next step toward a healthier life.

Located in Lake County, just 35 miles from Orlando, Florida, our Mount Dora campus offers comprehensive addiction treatment with medical and clinical professionals by your side throughout your care. Our specialized program for healthcare professionals provides additional support for those who dedicate their lives to caring for others. From medically supervised detox to residential treatment through outpatient and alumni support, our team is here to help you find a path forward.

Inside our Facility in

Mount Dora, FL

The campus is thoughtfully designed around a central pond with walking paths and peaceful spaces to pause, reflect, or spend time outdoors. Take a walk before group, relax on a shaded bench in the afternoon, or simply enjoy the Florida sunshine surrounded by lush palm trees and greenery. With warm weather and outdoor spaces available nearly year-round, you can step outside, clear your mind, and create moments of calm and connection throughout your recovery.

Is Treatment
Right for You?

Whether it’s 2 a.m. and you’re adding up how many drinks, how many days, or how many promises you didn’t keep, or someone you love has expressed concern about your substance use, the uncertainty of wondering “is this bad enough?” or “is it the right time?” is usually the hardest part and can also be where people get stuck the longest. Research shows that people who get into formal treatment within a year of recognizing a problem generally have better long-term outcomes than people who wait. [1] So when you’re ready to ask for help, you do not need to know which level of care is best for you—that’s on us.

RCA at Mount Dora admits adults from Orlando and across Florida, and we start with one honest conversation about where you are and what you need. From there, you may need medically supervised detox in a comfortable, compassionate setting, or a stretch of weeks living inside a structure built entirely around your recovery. If you have a dual diagnosis where depression, anxiety, trauma, or another mental illness is tangled up with addiction, we treat both together, under one team. Pregnant patients are welcome, and a private room can be requested. If you have a stable home to return to in the evenings, outpatient care — our Day/Night Treatment (comparable to PHP in other states) or Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) — lets you keep living at home while doing the work.

No matter what, we’ll have a conversation, assess your needs, and recommend the next best step for you.

How to Take the First Step

Reaching out is one of the hardest things to do. But our staff get it, because many of us have stood exactly where you’re standing now. That’s why we built a clear, with no pressure and no commitment attached.

Phase 1:
Assessment and Admission

Reach us any time of day or night, including holidays and weekends, by phone or through our secure online form. Our team will: 

  • Walk through your substance use history and current situation with you
  • Check your insurance coverage and explain what, if anything, you’d owe out of pocket
  • Recommend the level of care that fits your needs
  • Lay out your options and what happens next

Same-day in-person admission* is available. We walk beside you through every step. 

Phase 2:
Treatment Begins

Your personalized care plan encompasses:  

  • Individualized treatment that addresses the whole person, not just the diagnosis
  • Evidence-based group and individual therapy
  • MAT when clinically indicated
  • A case manager coordinating your aftercare from your first day
  • Workshops on coping skills, relapse prevention, and daily life management 
  • Holistic support
  • Family programming and educational resources 

Phase 3:
Aftercare and Continued Support

As you grow stronger in your recovery, we guide your transition toward: 

  • A lower level of care, if that’s the next best step for you
  • RCA’s alumni association with sober events and meetings
  • Ongoing peer support connections
  • Continued education for family 

Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. RCA stays in your corner for the long haul. 

*Patients coming straight from a hospital, ER, or urgent care may qualify for our FastTrack program, allowing for inpatient admissions without waiting on extra medical paperwork. This is helpful when a patient who agreed to go to treatment might not agree the next day.

Addiction Treatment in Mount Dora:

Detox, Inpatient and Outpatient Care

Medical Detox at RCA at Mount Dora

Oftentimes, the first fundamental step is to clear substances from the body

Alcohol and drug withdrawal can escalate into medical emergencies with little warning. At RCA at Mount Dora, withdrawal happens under supervision, with around-the-clock medical care, vital signs tracked, and comfort medication adjusted as symptoms rise and fall. The typical stay lasts 3 to 7 days but varies person to person. While your body does that work, your clinical team is already drafting the residential plan that follows, so the end of detox does not trigger a rushed decision.

Learn About Detox

Inpatient Drug and Alcohol Rehab Near Orlando

Immersive, 24/7 clinical care 

Residential care involves living on campus, inside a schedule built from group sessions, individual therapy, medication management, nutrition, exercise, and other wellness support. Your days are structured because the structure is central to treatment. Enough repetition in a substance-free space means sobriety shifts to a routine you can embrace.

Explore Inpatient Treatment

Day/Night Treatment at RCA at Mount Dora

A high level of outpatient addiction treatment

Day/Night Treatment, often referred to as a partial hospitalization program (PHP) in other states, is the most structured level of addiction care without overnight stays. You attend 6 hours a day, 5 days a week, for several weeks depending on your progress. You return home each day after sessions end. It suits people who need intense clinical support but have a stable, sober place to live. Extended Day Treatment is available in person only. The next step down in care is Day Treatment.

Consider Day/Night Treatment

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) In Mount Dora

Flexible outpatient addiction treatment available in person, virtually, or through a hybrid format 

Intensive outpatient program (IOP) for addiction treatment at RCA at Mount Dora includes 3 to 4 sessions a week, 3 hours each, running across several months depending on your progress. Group therapy is a central part of the program, supported by individual sessions and medication management when clinically appropriate. Day and evening schedules exist so you can fulfill daily responsibilities like work, school, or childcare. Day Treatment is available in-person, fully virtual, or as a mix of both.

Specialty Addiction Treatment Programs

at RCA at Mount Dora

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Cravings and withdrawal can be eased through MAT when clinically appropriate. Our medical team evaluates and prescribes based on your health and history, and this is revisited as you progress.

For Opioid Use Disorder:

  • Buprenorphine ­– Minimizes cravings and withdrawal symptoms without creating an opioid high. Suboxone and Subutex in tablet or film; Sublocade as a monthly injectable
  • Naltrexone – A full antagonist that blocks opioid receptors, meaning opioids do not produce an effect. Oral tablets and Vivitrol (injectable naltrexone)

For Alcohol Use Disorder: 

  • Naltrexone – Reduces the reward delivered by alcohol and minimizes cravings. Oral or injectable forms
  • Acamprosate – Settles brain chemistry after chronic alcohol use. Campral branded tablets
  • Disulfiram – Antabuse is a hard chemical deterrent to drinking, producing an adverse reaction if alcohol is consumed

Workflex

For working professionals and students, RCA at Mount Dora offers the WorkFlex program, which opens short, supervised windows with your phone and laptop during an inpatient stay, so that you can engage with work or school while in treatment.

Healthcare Professionals Program

The healthcare industry creates conditions for addiction that most professions never face.

That’s why RCA at Mount Dora offers a confidential, specialized addiction treatment program designed exclusively for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other licensed clinicians— protecting your license, your patients, and your future. 

Pet Friendly Rehab

We understand that familiar sources of comfort can matter during recovery, which is why emotional support animals may be accommodated on a case-by-case basis.

Pregnant Women

If you’re pregnant and struggling with addiction or mental health, you’ll receive priority admission here so that you and your child have immediate access to life saving care.  

Evidence-Based Therapies, and Personalized Care Pathways

RCA’s care model is centered around you, the patient, and includes individual therapy, group therapy, alumni support, and family education, with a case manager handling your aftercare plan. Evidence-based interventions include motivational interviewing (MI), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care.

Personalized Pathways:

Where You’ve Been Guides Your Path Forward

People can experience addiction in different ways, which is why effective treatment should never be one-size-fits-all. At RCA at Mount Dora, we consider your history, goals, previous treatment experiences (if any), and mental health needs to help determine the approach that best supports your journey.

Pathway 1 – Foundations of Recovery

For those new to treatment

A supportive approach for people experiencing addiction treatment for the first time, with an emphasis on education, understanding the disease of addiction, and building the coping skills needed for long-term recovery.

Pathway 2 – Fresh Start

For people who have attempted treatment before

Specialized support for people returning to treatment after a recurrence of substance use, with a focus on understanding previous experiences and identifying opportunities for a stronger recovery plan.

Pathway 3 – Balance

For individuals experiencing a co-occurring addiction and mental health condition

Integrated treatment for people experiencing both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition, with coordinated care addressing both. Data from the latest National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH 2024) indicate that 21.2 million adults in the U.S. had a co-occurring addiction and mental health disorder in the previous year [2].

Continuing Care,
Family, and Alumni Support

RCA at Mount Dora supports you long after you leave our walls. Alumni programming, peer connections, and recovery events are available to every former patient, their loved ones, and those who just need connection to sober support. Your aftercare plan is assembled by your case manager before discharge, and it outlines what continuing care you will attend, where, and starting when. And because addiction affects the whole family unit, the people close to you can join family support groups, webinars, and events before, during, and after your stay.

Insurance and Payment

Recovery Centers of America is in-network with 110+ insurance providers and we accept many insurance plans with out-of-network benefits. Most health plans cover addiction treatment at some level.

If you need help but are worried about taking time off work, your RCA case manager works with you and your employer to determine whether you are eligible for FMLA.

FMLA is federal, so the rules are generally the same in Florida as elsewhere in the U.S. The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) can provide eligible employees with up to 12 weeks of unpaid, job-protected leave during a 12-month period. The employer must generally continue group health insurance under the same conditions as if the employee were working. Your case manager can work with you to check with your employer for PTO, paid sick leave, paid parental leave, short-term disability, long-term disability, and/or paid family-leave insurance.
