Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Miramar, FL
Miramar, FL residents, like many U.S. residents, are struggling with a variety of substance abuse issues. Opioid abuse has become a particularly serious problem for Miramar, one that often requires professional treatment.
According to a recent statement from the city of Miramar, retail opioid prescriptions were dispensed to 51.3 out of every 100 individuals in Broward County between the years of 2006 and 2016.1 This is just one of the reasons the city used to justify its announcement that it would file an official lawsuit against certain drug manufacturers in 2018.1
Not everyone who abuses opioid drugs starts out wanting to get high. In fact, many people begin taking opioids as prescribed by a doctor to manage acute or chronic pain.2 As people build tolerance to opioids, they may begin misusing them in efforts to achieve an adequate level of pain relief. Others misuse opioids for the euphoric or calming effects they produce. Misuse includes taking the narcotic mediation more frequently or in higher doses than prescribed.
Chronic use of opioids (both taken as directed or misused) can lead to physiological dependence, in which the body adapts to the presence of the drug. Once someone is dependent, they will experience withdrawal symptoms, such as body aches, agitation, anxiety, excessive sweating, nausea and vomiting, and diarrhea, if they abruptly quit using.3 Physiological dependence can develop far more quickly in someone who is misusing or abusing opioid painkillers and can contribute to a cycle of opioid abuse in which the person cannot quit on their own. Compulsive or uncontrollable opioid abuse is a hallmark of addiction and is likely to require professional treatment.
Opioid rehab programs combine several different therapeutic interventions, such as individual therapy, group counseling, family therapy, and support meetings, to provide a comprehensive approach to recovery.
If you or someone you love has been abusing opioids or another type of substance and putting their health or even their life in danger, now is the time to seek help. We have thousands of rehabilitation centers listed in our directory, so you can find a professional treatment center near you or anywhere in the country.

Recovery Unplugged
I enjoyed the The yoga sessions on the beach, meditation that was brought in once a week to the facility, recovery unplugged also offered to take clients to a gym weekly to work out, I was also able to learn how to go grocery shopping on my own something that I haven't done in a very long time. The partial hospitalization in which recovery unplugged models there treatment after was a good way to keep me both in the community but also at the same time in a safe secure treatment atmosphere. Do use of music really allowed me to tap into other areas of my feelings and emotions that I would not have been able to otherwise access through regular talk therapy. Listening to certain songs or motivational speech is allowed me to think outside of the box to better communicate my feelings. The clinical staff for recovery unplugged was far better than I had ever experienced at any treatment facility previously to this one. The clinical start truly has your best interest At heart. My counselor really helped me work through issues surrounding family problems something that I had struggled with for a very long time. Upon leaving recovery unplugged I feel like I had gained the necessary tools in order to go back out into the world to maintain positive and successful recovery from alcohol and drugs. The only one weakness that I would probably point out the recovery unplugged had was the black a family group. However I wouldn't say this is a weakness as a lot of the people who were at recovery unplugged were from areas outside of Fort Lauderdale in southern Florida. Most people are from the East Coast some people as far away is Alaska came to treatment and recovery unplugged us making it a little difficult to engage in family therapy sessions while at recovery unplugged. This treatment center is unlike any other facility I've gone to. Their unique approach to therapy through the means of music allowed me to tap into emotions I wouldn't have been able to feel otherwise. The treatment team and clinical team truly have your best interest at heart throughout the course of treatment. The medical staff far exceeded my expectations when it came to treating my cooccuring disorders with psychiatric medicine. One of the more unique things that this treatment center does that differentiates themselves from other facilities is discharging people on the Vivitrol shot which adds another layer of insurance to prevent an addict or alcoholic from going back out on another run.

- Call the phone number listed above. Our counselors can walk you through the enrollment process, even helping you choose the right program for your loved one.
- Consider your loved one's issues. What is your addicted family member's drug of choice? Do they experience withdrawal symptoms when they are without that drug? Are they violent? Have they experienced a traumatic event? The specifics of your loved one's experience will dictate which drug rehab is the most appropriate.
- Take note of co-occurring mental health disorders. Depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder - any co-occurring mental health issues will need to be addressed at the same time as the addiction for the best possible outcome.

Will other family members require therapy to help your addicted loved one heal? Is proximity to home an issue? Are finances an issue? Choose a drug rehab that can provide for everyone.
