Why Choose CORAS for Drug Rehab in Dover
As Delaware’s capital and the largest city in Kent County, Dover sits at the center of the state’s response to addiction. We built our Dover clinic to give central-Delaware residents a complete continuum of care close to home, instead of forcing a drive up to Wilmington or out of state to find the right program.
1. One team, every level of care
People rarely walk in knowing whether they need inpatient treatment or outpatient support. Here, you don’t have to. We assess you and match you to the right level of care across the CORAS network, then adjust as you go, from residential drug rehab for 24-hour structure, to PHP and IOP (Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs) for intensive day treatment, to our MAT outpatient program using methadone, Suboxone, or Vivitrol. Moving between levels never means starting over with a new provider.
2. Built for working schedules
Treatment that conflicts with a job is treatment people quit. Our MAT dosing opens at 5:00 AM so patients can come before work, and outpatient programs run through the afternoon. We also run a weekly Spanish-language Driving Under the Influence (DUI) group, so language isn’t a barrier to meeting court requirements in Kent County.
3. Mental health care is part of the plan
Depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD often sit underneath substance use. CORAS Dover has psychiatric staff on site to diagnose and treat these co-occurring conditions as part of your rehab, not as a separate referral you’re left to arrange yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions: Drug Rehab in Dover, DE
How long does drug rehab take?
There’s no fixed clock. Many residential stays land in the 28-to-30-day range, and plenty of people continue with outpatient care well beyond that. At Dover, the timeline is something you and your clinical team decide together as your progress unfolds.
How long do I have to stay in rehab?
That depends on the level of care you enter and how you respond to it. Inpatient stays commonly run a few weeks to a month, while outpatient and MAT support can extend much longer. Rather than a preset minimum, your length of stay is reviewed with your counselor as your situation changes.
Can I start the same day I come in?
Yes, Same-day assessment and intake are available at our Dover center. Call ahead if you can, but walk-ins are welcome during business hours.
What happens if I relapse during treatment?
A return to use doesn’t end your treatment at CORAS Dover. We read relapse as information, a sign the current plan needs more support, not less and adjust accordingly, which may mean stepping up to our residential program.
Do I need a referral to start drug rehab in Dover?
No. Call (302) 672-9360 or walk in during business hours. Same-day assessments are available.
How much is it to go to drug rehab in Dover?
It comes down to your coverage and level of care. With Delaware Medicaid, most patients pay little or nothing. For the uninsured, DSAMH state funding can cover treatment. We walk through your exact costs before you start, so nothing is a surprise.
What is the most successful treatment for drug addiction?
Decades of clinical evidence point the same direction: pairing medication (when it fits the diagnosis) with consistent counseling and treatment for any underlying mental health condition produces the most durable recovery. Our Dover team is structured around that combined model, with psychiatric staff on site rather than treating medication and therapy as separate errands.
What treatment is available at the Dover rehab center?
On site in Dover: PHP and IOP day treatment, MAT (methadone, Suboxone, Vivitrol), individual and group counseling, co-occurring mental health care, medication management, and DUI/alcohol education, all coordinated by one team. When a higher level of care is needed, we connect you to our residential drug rehab program.
Can you help me get to the clinic for my first appointment?
Yes. CORAS can help coordinate transportation to new intake appointments in Dover. Mention it when you call to schedule.
What mental health services does the Dover center offer?
Psychiatric staff diagnose and treat co-occurring conditions like depression, anxiety, trauma, and PTSD as part of your rehab, alongside individual counseling, group therapy, and medication management.
