Florida is known for its white-sand beaches and year-round sunshine. But the state is also known for its culture of drug and alcohol use, with visitors flocking to cities like Daytona, Miami, and Panama Beach to party. Unfortunately, this doesn’t come without consequences. In 2020, more than 68,000 people were arrested for a drug-related offense in Florida. That same year there were 7,460 fatal overdoses throughout the state.2
If you’re a Florida resident struggling with drug or alcohol use, you’re not alone. Seeking treatment for addiction is a brave step, but you shouldn’t have to do it alone. The good news is that your Ambetter from Sunshine Health insurance may be able to help cover the cost of addiction treatment including detox, inpatient and outpatient rehab, and long-term residential treatment.
