Miami is one of the largest cities in Florida, with a population within its city limits being nearly half a million with a metro population of over six million. It is a center of tourism, trade, entertainment, sports, and finances statewide and one of the major cities in the United States. It’s a paradise for many of its residents and millions of visitors annually. Unfortunately, this is not the only thing for which Miami is known.
Like every densely populated urban area, Miami, Florida, has to confront substance abuse and addiction. In Florida, drug and alcohol addiction is on the rise, with overdose deaths from cocaine and opioids are higher than the rest of the nation. Opioid use is still at epidemic levels, much like in the rest of the country.
Fortunately, help is available for you and your loved ones. Lakeview Health offers a wide range of services and treatment programs delivered by trained professionals. Our drug rehab center in Jacksonville offers a continuum of care for substance abuse treatment. Contact us at 904.677.5010 if you think you need help.
One of the most commonly abused drugs in the world is alcohol. According to a report by the Miami Coalition, “Alcohol has the highest prevalence of use and abuse of any substance in Miami-Dade County.” The report states that there are around 71,000 underage drinkers in the county (with over half having engaged in binge drinking in the past month). Approximately 6% of the county’s adult population needed, but did not receive, treatment for alcohol abuse or dependency.
Detox at Lakeview Health offers medical support for people who are alcohol dependent. For some patients who have been drinking for a long time, their bodies need alcohol to function. If they stop drinking, they will go through the withdrawal process and experience some physical and mental health complications for a few days. This is often thought of as the hardest part of recovery, so we provide around the clock medical and emotional support at our detox unit. This will help make the transition to inpatient treatment go smoothly.
At our inpatient rehab program in Jacksonville, we provide you with the support and skills you need to learn to live without alcohol. We understand that people start drinking for a reason. Using individual and group counseling, psychiatric care, education, and skills-building activities, our highly trained staff helps you understand your reasons for drinking and your reasons to quit.

Florida has been experiencing a statistically significant rise in drug use and drug overdose deaths in recent years. Like many other states, its biggest problem has been with cocaine and opioids. These can include street drugs like heroin and prescription medication like hydrocodone, fentanyl, oxycodone, and other and other prescription drugs like alprazolam and other benzodiazepines.
It’s easy to go from being a casual recreational or medical user to being addicted to drugs. Most people who have been prescribed drugs from a doctor do not intend to misuse them or develop an addiction. Seeking support at a recognized rehabilitation center can help break the cycle. At Lakeview Healthcare, we can offer all the support you need. Our facility offers a broad range of detox programs, including:

Those suffering from chronic pain are often at greater risk of substance addiction. Many turn to alcohol or illegal narcotics to deal with the pain, while others can quickly become addicted to opiates prescribed by physicians to help manage pain. This is too typical of a story for residents of Miami.
At Lakeview, we use an innovative approach to tackle addiction and pain recovery that incorporates manageable physical activity, non-addictive medication, a range of stress management techniques, and healthy eating support. These are integrated into a comprehensive addiction treatment plan.

Addiction doesn’t just affect the addict. It impacts their families and loved ones too. Alcohol and drugs can drive a wedge through even the closest of family units. People can cut off from those close to them, while attempts to help can backfire, sometimes making situations worse. Substance abuse harms everyone in the family, not just the person struggling with addiction.
If you have a relative or loved one dealing with an addiction issue, you must realize that help is there for you as well as the addiction sufferer. Family therapy and group therapy can help families deal with and understand addiction problems together and can be the first step towards healing any divisions that may have formed. We work with you to heal the family as a whole.
