Inpatient Rehab and Detox in Riverview, Florida

While most people think of beautiful scenery and sites like the Balm-Boyette Scrub Nature Preserve when they think of Riverview, Florida, did you also know that many citizens of this gorgeous city are falling prey to substance use disorder? Unfortunately, illegal substances like marijuana and cocaine are a real problem for many residents. Legal substances, though, like alcohol or prescription medications are also a big issue.

In Florida communities, there is an opioid epidemic. Thousands of people through the state have lost their homes and jobs because of this addiction. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2012, approximately 1.27 million Florida citizens received prescriptions for painkillers in high doses. That accounts for 20 percent of all rehab admissions. Disturbingly, an average of five Florida residents died each day from overdoses of opiates in 2013.

What can be done about this problem? Those who are suffering from substance use disorder may feel hopeless and alone. However, this is not the case. Help is available to those who are willing to ask for it.

If you are seeking drug addiction treatment in Riverview, Florida, there is a plethora of resources that are available to you.

Riverview, Florida Drug Rehab Centers and Alcohol Rehab Centers

There are numerous options when you are looking for drug addiction treatment in Riverview. Are you seeking a drug rehab center in Riverview, FL, or an alcohol rehab center in Riverview, FL? Finding out about the appropriate treatment program for you will be the first thing you need to do. You want to make sure you find the treatment program that will be the most effective in your situation. The type of treatment program you need will depend on the type of substance(s) you are using, the kind of program you can afford or your insurance will cover, your home environment and whether or not you have a stable place to stay and your history with addiction.

Residential Treatment Programs

In this program, which is also known as an inpatient program, patients are given 24/7 access to medical professionals. Patients who need to detox first usually enter this program after. This is a good fit for those patients who may need more intensive care due to a more serious addiction.

Partial Hospitalization Programs

With a little more flexibility, the PHP is a program that allows patients to attend rehab during the day and go home at night. They still have access to medical care, and they still are required to participate in the same curriculum that includes therapy, classes and healing activities.

Outpatient Treatment Programs

This is the most flexible program, and it is a good fit for patients who have a more moderate addiction. This is also the best option for patients who have a lot of work commitments or family commitments.

Detox Centers

Riverview detox centers are available to help you through the first step in your rehabilitation. There may be more of a requirement for detox with substances like opioids, benzodiazepines or alcohol. The detoxification process has to be complete before a treatment program can be started. It can be extremely dangerous to attempt to detox without medical assistance. You are sure to get any necessary medical assistance at a Florida detox center.

After detoxification, your rehabilitation has just begun. If you attend a detox center, you will only be treated for the physical aspects of your dependency. Your drug and/or alcohol addiction will still need to be addressed. The most beneficial way to approach the beginning of your recovery journey is by finding a facility that will provide both detox and treatment programs. Your rehabilitation will truly begin with a treatment program.
