What the authority says
A healthcare facility provides residential treatment for people recovering from addiction as part of continuum of care for effective treatment. It is characterised by a high level of psychological and social intervention at a critical stage of recovery. Residential treatment is most effective when people are immediately discharged from an in-patient hospital unit, or when their addiction symptomology requires a low level of assisted withdrawal and when abstinence is a goal of treatment. In addition residential treatment is most valuable where there is polydrug misuse, co-occurrence of substance misuse and mental illness or complex social and relationship issues.

Routes that list this activity
A route listing the activity is a starting point. The authority confirms eligibility when you apply.
Free zone or mainland
- Dubai mainland under DET lets you invoice UAE mainland clients directly, but it expects Ejari-registered premises and runs longer than a free-zone desk package.
Also catalogued elsewhere
The same activity name appears in other authority catalogues we track. This is a name match, not a legal equivalence, and Dubai Setup Index does not file in these zones.
