They offer residential rehab and recovery services to adolescents and adults, both English and Spanish speakers, who are battling alcohol and drug dependency.

Multi Phase Residential Rehab in Orlando
Their core specialty is long term residential substance abuse treatment using a therapeutic community model. Residents enroll in a 12 month continuous program featuring multiple progressive phases. The first is induction, then introspection and identification, followed by intensive growth, and finall follow-up. Staff include psychologists, social workers, and most notably, peer leaders who are alumni of the program themselves, bringing lived experience and credibility to care.
Treatment sessions combine individual and peer group formats, occupational and educational activities, spiritual engagement, recreation, family involvement and community service. They ground their work in a bio-psycho-social-spiritual model and draw on Erik Erikson’s psychosocial development theory, helping residents build confidence, autonomy, identity and commitment while addressing underlying psychological and relational issues.
Language Accessible and Culture Focused Support
Another strong specialty lies in their cultural and linguistic inclusivity. Hogar CREA welcomes non-English speakers, especially Spanish-speaking clients, ensuring treatment materials, peer support, and staff communication are accessible to diverse populations. This helps reduce barriers to care and boosts engagement in the recovery process.
The provider fosters a home like environment, reinforcing belonging and supportive community relationships. Program structure, cultural sensitivity and peer leadership combine to help individuals feel understood, validated and motivated during recovery.
In Network and Out of Network Insurance Coverage
They accept multiple insurance policies including Aetna, Amerigroup, UnitedHealthcare, Ambetter, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. Clients needing out of network coverage are advised to verify with their insurers.
