Plantation Inpatient Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities
Various factors in recent years have led to widespread misuse of prescription medications across the country, especially opioid painkillers. Opioid abuse is now a public health emergency, making Plantation drug rehab more necessary than ever.1
What’s possibly more troubling is that if left untreated, abuse of prescription painkillers can lead to heroin abuse. In 2016, 4 out of 5 new heroin users had previously abused opioid painkillers, such as Vicodin or Percocet.2 That same year, 180 people died from heroin-related causes in Broward County.2
If you or someone you love began taking opioids for pain and became addicted, know that there are alternative forms of pain management that can be paired with non-narcotic pain medication, such as: 3
- Physical therapy.
- Whirlpools.
- Massages.
- Acupuncture.
- Nerve-blocking injections.
Before selecting a treatment program, it can be helpful to speak to your doctor. They will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your substance abuse patterns, mental health, physical health, and more. They will use this information to refer you to a level of treatment that is most appropriate for you and your situation.
There are a variety of Plantation drug rehab centers that can help you get clean and sober. Remember that each center is different, so if you don’t find a Plantation rehab facility that works for you, search our directory for others within Broward County, elsewhere in Florida, or in other states.

The addict may feel guilt and shame over his or her addiction - and tragically, this prevents many addicts from seeking treatment. Understand that while there are differences between addiction and chronic diseases such as diabetes or cancer, science has recognized a strong genetic component to addiction. On top of this, it is important to understand that drugs and alcohol create physiological changes in the body that include:
- Increasing tolerance (it requires more of a substance to achieve the desired effect)
- Uncontrollable craving for the substance
- Nausea, shaking and sweating when the substance is unavailable
- Changes in the ability to taste or feel
At this point, it can be nearly impossible to overcome an addiction without professional treatment.
When The 12 Steps Are Not EnoughAlcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous are excellent programs that have enabled many addicts to turn their lives around. However, these programs are only effective in a portion of cases. For others, professional treatment at a qualified center is the best road to recovery.
This said, it should be noted that neurological science has made great advances in recent years in determining how the brain is affected by substance abuse. This has led to new treatments and medications that give addicts much better chances to overcome their problem than they had even 10 years ago.
