Addiction Treatment Programs in Florida - Statistics (2005) (TEDS)

State Population (2005): 17,768,191 (Census Bureau)
According to TEDS, Florida had a total of 34,983 admissions to addiction treatment programs and drug rehab programs in 2005. The majority of these addiction treatment program admissions - over 28% - were for the addiction treatment of marijuana addiction. Addiction treatment for alcoholism - only represented 18.3% of the total admissions to drug rehab in Florida. Crack and cocaine combined added up to 21.6% to drug rehabs in Florida.

The State of Florida is known for its warm weather and tropical beaches, as well as, for tourist attractions. Some of the major cities which are the largest in population include Miami (including Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale), Orlando, Jacksonville, Tampa, Daytona Beach, Naples, Fort Myers and the Florida Keys. Florida is also the State with one of the highest levels of immigration of people from Latin America and other parts of the world. The proximity of Miami to countries where drug trafficking and drug production is present makes Miami a point of entry for illegal substances that get distributed across the State and other parts of the country.

Drug Rehab Programs in Florida

There are several drug rehab programs in Florida which provide addiction treatment services for adults and adolescents. Florida is actually one of the most preferred states for the treatment of alcoholism, drug addiction and dual diagnosis. Drug rehab programs in Florida, may or may not include a drug detox or alcohol detox program. It is important to discuss this aspect of a drug rehab program with intake staff, as it can make a tremendous difference in a person’s addiction treatment in Florida. Secondly, each drug rehab program and alcohol rehab program in Florida might have a different addiction treatment philosophy or clinical approach, as each drug rehab might specialize in treating different populations. An example might be a drug rehab that specializes in the gay, lesbian and bisexual population, a drug rehab that has an effective dual diagnosis treatment program or a drug rehab program capable of treating an eating disorder. It can be a challenging experience to try and decide which drug rehab program in Florida is best for you.

Alcohol Rehab Programs in Florida

Alcoholism, alcohol dependency and alcohol addiction all fall into the same category. Alcohol is physically addicting and alcoholism can have devastating effects on a person’s family, employment, health, finances and emotional well being. It is quite difficult to recover from the disease of alcoholism on one’s own, due to the alcohol withdrawal symptoms one experiences upon discontinuing alcohol use.

There are alcohol rehab programs located throughout Florida which differ in alcohol rehab services and the patients the alcohol rehab treats. There are federally funded alcohol rehab programs in Florida for those people that are financially challenged, alcohol rehab programs in Florida for adults and adolescents and alcohol rehab programs in Florida for those persons with private insurance and an ability to pay for alcohol rehab treatment.

For someone not in the alcohol treatment arena, knowing how to differentiate between one alcohol rehab program in Florida and another alcohol rehab program can be quite difficult. It is important to find out whether the alcohol rehab program in Florida you are looking at has their own alcohol detox program, whether the alcohol rehab has a comprehensive family program and which special addiction treatment needs can the alcohol rehab in Florida meet. An example is whether the alcohol rehab in Florida can treat someone with a dual diagnosis, an eating disorder or whether the alcohol rehab in Florida is gay friendly for the GLBT population.

Allow Recovery Connection® to answers these questions for you as you search for an alcohol rehab program in Florida. Let us match your alcohol rehab needs with the alcohol rehab services that are available.

Addiction Treatment Programs in Florida

Addiction treatment programs in Florida have been around for many years. Unfortunately, not every addiction treatment program in Florida is effective or has the actual addiction treatment services you require to achieve long term recovery from chemical dependency. There are addiction treatment programs in Florida that specialize in treating different populations such as GLBT or professionals, just as there are addiction treatment programs in Florida that specifically designed to treat adolescents.

A quality addiction treatment program in Florida should have its J.C.A.H.O accreditation and state licensing. From an addiction treatment perspective, having its own detox program, family program and dual diagnosis program is imperative. With that being said, that does not mean that the addiction treatment program can meet your specific needs or is the most effective addiction treatment program for you.

With our vast addiction treatment network, Recovery Connection® has the ability and resources to locate the most effective addiction treatment program for you. Call 1-800-993-3869.

Gay Drug Rehab in Florida

While a person who is gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (GLBT) can receive addiction treatment or alcohol treatment in any alcohol rehab program in Florida or drug rehab program, not all drug rehab programs or alcohol rehab programs in Florida are designed to meet their specific needs. That is to say, that there are not many drug rehab programs or alcohol rehab programs in Florida that have addiction treatment staff trained in how to deal with issues such as “coming out”, internalized homophobia, homophobia, gay relationships or any other issues pertinent to the GLBT community. For a gay man or woman in Florida, secure in their sexuality, it might not make a difference, but for the vast majority of gay men and women, a gay friendly drug rehab in Florida or gay alcohol rehab in Florida, might mean the difference between recovery and relapse.

An effective gay drug rehab in Florida, gay alcohol rehab in Florida or gay friendly drug rehab in Florida should have as a minimum addiction treatment groups specific to the GLBT population, an addiction treatment staff trained in the attitudes and issues surrounding the GLBT population, an addiction treatment staff that has dealt with any homophobic issues they might have and a passion to treat the GLBT community. It is important that any drug rehab or addiction treatment program that claims to treat the GLBT community, to provide them with a safe setting in which to deal with issues that concern the heterosexual population.

To locate a gay friendly drug rehab in Florida or gay friendly alcohol rehab in Florida, you can call Recovery Connection® at 1-800-993-3869.

Central Florida's "rave scene," nightclubs and tourist atmosphere provide a constant market for Ecstasy. Additionally, "spring break" activities in the Panhandle are a prime time for Ecstasy sales.

Methamphetamine Addiction:

The Tampa Bay area is the focal point of all crystal methamphetamine distribution and crystal meth abuse in Florida. These clandestine labs tend to be small "mom and pop" operations, but taken as a whole they represent a growing danger. The trafficking of methamphetamine has increased considerably in the Jacksonville area. As in other areas of the state, labs were small but highly toxic. There has also been a significant increase in crystal methamphetamine in Florida within the homosexual community, specifically Fort Lauderdale. Crystal methamphetamine addiction continues to increase throughout the central and northern parts of Florida, including in Orlando. Methamphetamine addiction treatment - GET HELP NOW!
