Christian Rehabs In Florida See Rise In Opiate Death Rates

The prescription pain pill epidemic makes the news almost every day. Christian rehabs in Florida are seeing a dramatic rise in opiate death rates. The opiate death rate in florida now exceeds that of both cocain and heroin combined.   Prescription drug addiction should not have to claim another life.  Despite the increasing challenge of opiates,  there is hope for people who recognize the need to enter a Christian rehab and make a positive change before it is too late.

Christian rehabs have the power to help countless people struggling with an addiction to prescription drugs, and restore their physical, emotional and spiritual health. With the recent uptick in pill mill closures throughout Florida, many Christian rehabs in Florida are experiencing an influx of addicts into treatment, and many Christian rehabs are finding themselves overwhelmed by the demand for addiction treatment. Christian rehabs combine the best of secular treatment with a faith-based approach to healing wounded people and showing them how to walk tall in their faith and the knowledge that God's love and grace is there for them.

Christian rehabs in Florida understand that when addicts seek treatment for their addiction to prescription pain pills, they are at the depths of despair. Recovery from any addiction is never easy, or simple.  Christian rehabs show addicts acceptance every step of the way.  Addiction can be an isolating disease, and one that is often accompanied by loneliness, anxiety and depression.  Christian rehabs offer addicts fellowship and the ability to listen to other addicts' stories.

Unfortunately, until that goal is reached, there will be more people dying from opiate overdoses, and the pain will continue.
