Lauderhill, FL, in Broward County, sees its fair share of sun and tourism, just like many other Floridian cities. Sadly, it is also plagued by substance abuse and addiction.
According to a 2012-2014 report, more than 308,000 people aged 12 or older in Broward County reported past-month binge alcohol use and about 106,000 people reported marijuana use. Further, nearly 53,000 people in this same age group reported past-year abuse of prescription painkillers.1 Chronic substance abuse can lead to physiological dependence and addiction. Once someone is addicted, it can be extremely difficult to quit using on their own, which is why professional detox and addiction treatment can be beneficial.
Detox is a group of interventions, such as medical care and medication, aimed at managing withdrawal symptoms while the body rids itself of all traces of the abused substance. It is a way to stabilize the patient before they begin their intensive addiction treatment; it is not a substitute for substance abuse treatment, but rather an initial step toward sobriety.
In many cases, rehab centers near Lauderhill begin with detox in the same facility, but at other times, rehab begins only after a person has already gone through detox in a program designed specifically for this purpose.4 Either way, it’s important to find a program that can adequately address all of your needs.
Drug and alcohol rehab centers are available near you and can help with many different types of addictions. You can find facilities in your area by looking through our directory.

I am a treatment provider. I have been utilizing the Haven for years when doing interventions. I have never once had a negative review from a client I have referred there. Their communication and care is excellent. They are very responsive and timely
They took such good care of my son. The counselors and case managers were competent and professional, but were still able to connect with him. The best part was that he seemed to be having so much fun again. We have our son back! The life and recovery skills taught at this facility should be available to anyone regardless of addiction. My son went a boy and came home a man. The biggest weakness was that when it came time to leave, he wanted to stay. They were good about explaining the process though and he has done very well since.
Unless one has been arrested for a drug-related crime and ordered to undergo treatment by a judge, there is virtually no way to force someone to enroll in rehab. The decision must be made by the addict. Sometimes, this may require intervention by a family member or a mental health professional, because in most cases, the addict is not prepared to give up their addiction.
Once intervention has been successful, it is important to explore the full range of treatment options and features, including:
Because each individual's situation is different, a treatment program must usually be designed for a specific case in order to have long-term results.
Relapse and CommunityIt is not unusual for a recovering alcoholic or addict to backslide. Sometimes, this is temporary; recovery is an ongoing process for most. However, an 2006 article in the journal Addiction reports that recovering addicts who have strong family relationships and a social support network are the least likely to relapse after completing a treatment program.
