I read an article today that said there are more facilities that offer drug rehab in Florida (as well as drug detox and other types of treatment) than in any state other than California and New York. And it’s a good thing - Florida is nicknamed the ‘pill state’ because of the huge volume of prescription drug addiction, dependency and abuse cases.

As of 2006, there were 668 treatment facilities and in March of that year alone they serviced 52,000 people. That’s 1677 a day - an amazing statistic from the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services.
 
Unfortunately, not all facilities that offer drug rehab in Florida are created equal. Some have low success rates - people leave clean after treatment but get back into drugs or alcohol afterwards. I would advise that someone looking for a successful program contact Drug Rehab Referral. These are pros who’ve been in the business a long time. They’re very familiar with the different types of programs available and can advise you of the best for your situation.

Prescription drug addiction isn’t the only drug problem in Florida although it’s probably more insidous than problems with other drugs: Often people don’t realize they have a problem - they think the pills are safe because they are prescribed by doctors. Eventually, when they try to stop taking them they find out it’s not easy to do. This is especially true of prescription painkillers like OxyContin. Taken for anything other than the shortest length of time you’re sure to develop a physical dependency and addiction is often not far behind.

If you or someone you care about is having a problem with prescription drug addiction or dependency - or you even suspect that might be the case - give Drug Rehab Referral a call. They can help you figure out if you have a problem or not, answer all your questions, and, if needed, help you find the right facility for drug detox or drug rehab. In Florida there are hundreds available - make sure you get one that will get the job done.
