Drug addiction is rampant in Florida, destroying families and taking lives. Opiate misuse is spiraling out of control so much so that a state of emergency was declared in May 2017 for opiate addiction. Opioids are highly addictive and incredibly deadly. In 2015, opioids killed more than 33,000 people nationwide, according to the Center for Disease Control.

In Fort Lauderdale, prescriptions drugs and all opiates, excluding heroin, were found most as the cause and being present in death in 2015. Prescription drugs account for 67.7 percent of all drug occurrences in this report, when alcohol was excluded reported the Florida Medical Examiners. The numbers are astonishing, but aid is available. For those who are looking for information on alcohol and drug rehabs, there are many resources available. Though thousands of people in Fort Lauderdale alone may be struggling with substance misuse, help is available.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida Alcohol Rehab Centers and Drug Rehab Centers

Even though Fort Lauderdale is in a state of emergency with drug and alcohol addiction, there are a number of sources for assistance both locally and nationally. Fortunately, the city offers options to overcome substance addiction. Finding the right center can be difficult, but not impossible.

Residential Treatment Programs

A residential treatment program may be the optimum choice for people suffering from a severe substance use disorder, such as opioid or heroin addiction. A residential treatment program gives patients support to manage their addictions with an on-site staff available at all times.

Partial Hospitalization Programs

A step down from inpatient care is a partial hospitalization program. This is a good option for those who are stepping down from residential treatment, or for those with a strong, healthy home environment. In a PHP program, patients receive assistance during the day while returning home at night.

Outpatient Treatment Programs

In an outpatient treatment program, the patients arrive at the facility to take part in sessions and go home at night. This is often a step down from other levels of care for patients with a supportive home environment.

Detox Centers Near Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Substance dependence changes the way the neurotransmitters in the brain send and receive messages. The brain becomes dependent on foreign substances like drugs and alcohol initially to feel good, and later, to just feel a semblance of normalcy. Severe substance misuse forces the person into withdrawal symptoms when the drug is no longer available. These symptoms can be dangerous. A Florida detox center offers medical professional assistance to remove the toxins left from drugs and alcohol from the body safely. However, this just the beginning of the process.

To fully reap the benefits of cleansing the body, the detox process should be part of a patient’s treatment plan to better their chances of creating and maintaining a sober and healthy lifestyle. A national treatment center offers detox in addition to inpatient treatments such as therapy and post-treatment assistance. Tapping into the wealth of information and experience these highly-trained professionals offer only makes sense for sustainable sober living.

Recovery meetings are an important part of the process after receiving drug and alcohol addiction treatment. These organizations offer support and services to aid your recovery. These groups are often run by people who are in their own recovery process and have useful experience to offer you.
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) Meetings

The fellowship and support along with the 12-step program create a solid foundation and source of strength. It reminds you that you’re not alone in this journey. If you recently completed alcohol treatment, Fort Lauderdale’s AA meetings can help you stay sober.
