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 By The Sea
Great program, great staff Love my therapist Stephanie Case manager Stephen Favorite techs Taylor & Shema
River Oaks Treatment Center
I like when the staff doesn't sugar coat and tells the hard truths that need to be heard. It's like that in Amy's classes and I think she does a great service to the community of people here by being straight forward about the nature of the disease. It offers a realistic look at the reality. She holds amazing groups because she keeps it interesting by switching it up. We get to go outside sometimes or play games, and it feels like a safe place to share and open up about things I may not usually discuss. Its helped me explore more about what's going on with me and the problems that I'm facing. I think she is very relatable and understands what I've been through because she's been there herself. Its so important to go to a place that has staff that understand and if you're looking for that place, this is it.

A Guide to Entering a Treatment CenterThe best way to avoid a drug overdose death when you are struggling with an active drug addiction is to enroll in a Miramar drug treatment program. How do you help your loved one enroll? You can:
- 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.
- Consider the needs of the family. While you may be willing to give up everything to help your loved one walk away from addiction, it is important to consider the needs of everyone in the family. 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.
For the best possible outcome, it is recommended that you choose a drug rehab that can meet the specific needs of your Miramar loved one.
