Inpatient Rehab and Detox in Melbourne, Florida

Melbourne, Florida, is a beautiful city known for its beaches, inlets, and lagoons, The Eau Gallie Art District, Foosaner Art Museum, period buildings including the Rossetter House Museum and Gardens, and the ever-expanding Brevard Zoo. Melbourne, Florida, is also home to the Highland Mint, where the Super Bowl coin, used for the game’s coin toss, is produced each year. But in this small, harbor town, there is a serious epidemic: substance misuse. Individuals in Melbourne, and throughout the state of Florida, are misusing illegal substances like heroin and marijuana as well as prescription medications like opioids and benzodiazepines.

Although the 2016 Florida Youth Substance Abuse Survey found that overall alcohol use declined between 2014 and 2016 among high school students, one in ten students reported binge drinking with one in six reporting blacking out from drinking. The substance misuse problem is no better among adults in Florida. According to the CDC, from 2014 to 2015, drug overdose death rates increased.

If you suffer from substance and alcohol addiction, you may feel like you are alone with your struggle, but you are not. Addiction is a disease, much like any other chronic illness, and it’s important that you seek treatment just as you would with any other disease.

Alcohol Rehab Centers and Drug Rehab Centers

Whether someone is seeking a Melbourne drug rehab or a Melbourne alcohol rehab, there are many different options available. An individual may be in need of an inpatient treatment program or an outpatient treatment program. The first step is understanding what kind of treatment program is needed:

Residential Treatment Programs

Also known as inpatient treatment programs, residential treatment programs are a good fit for individuals who have a serious substance misuse problem. People who need detox and do not have a stable home environment may want to think about inpatient treatment. Clients in this program have access to medical care 24 hours a day.

Partial Hospitalization Programs

In a partial hospitalization program (PHP), the client has a little more flexibility.Typically, clients in a PHP do not stay at the facility. They are allowed to stay in a responsible home environment or in housing on the facility’s property. They still have access to medical care and the rehabilitation curriculum of the inpatient programs.

Outpatient Treatment Programs

The next step is the outpatient treatment program. This program is beneficial for those who only have mild addiction issues or those who have already finished the inpatient program. Clients in this program stay on campus in housing or at home with a responsible family member or friend. Searching for Melbourne alcohol rehab and Melbourne alcohol treatment facilities can be a complicated task. One of the reasons the national network of rehabilitation centers is so popular is that at a national facility, there will be a lot of expert professionals that help an individual to determine which program that’s best suited for them.

Melbourne Drug and Alcohol Detox Centers

There are various options for Melbourne drug detox and Melbourne alcohol detox centers. Detoxification is one of the most important things a person struggling with a substance use disorder can do. It’s important to rid the body of whatever toxic substances it became dependent on, as this is the first step toward  sobriety. It’s also very important to detox under medical supervision so that an individual remains safe and comfortable throughout the process.

Recovery Meetings Near You

After a treatment program is completed, it is imperative that clients have an aftercare plan in place. It is important to find a recovery program that resonates with the individual’s unique needs. Recovery meetings are a great way for people in recovery to meet with other people who face similar challenges and talk openly about any personal difficulties. There are a variety of meeting types, including:

Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) Meetings
Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is a group that has been helping people with alcohol addiction remain sober for decades. It is a fellowship of men and women, who share their experiences and their strengths with each other. AA asks its members to complete the 12 steps with a sponsor (an experienced member who has already completed the 12 steps and been sober for a year), but the only requirement for membership is a desire to quit drinking. For those who recently completed alcohol treatment, Melbourne and nearby cities offer AA meetings throughout the area, including:

Melbourne Beach Group

Melbourne Beach, FL 32951

Narcotics Anonymous (NA) Meetings

Like Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous (NA) is a 12 step program for those who are addicted to substances. NA asks its members to complete the 12 steps as well, but members are only required to have a desire to stop misusing drugs. The NA program is not as old as AA but it has helped people with substance use disorder avoid setbacks and continue on their path to recovery. Regardless of where someone completed drug treatment, Melbourne’s NA meetings can help them maintain lifelong recovery.

There are many SMART Recovery meetings throughout the world. Here are the two meetings closest to Melbourne:
