One of the fastest growing and widespread addictions in the United States is prescription drug dependence and it is impacting the lives of individuals everywhere. More than 9 million Americans are currently abusing some type of prescription drug and painkillers account for most of them. Prescription painkillers kill more people than both heroin and cocaine combined. Addiction does not discriminate and can ruin anyone’s life regardless of age, sex, race, religion or financial or social status. The family income bracket reported by 42 percent of oxycodone abusers was at $50,000 a year and higher. This alone shows that it is not just people walking the streets who have a problem.
An overwhelming percentage of prescription drug distribution and illegal transactions take place in South Florida. Experts believe that this one small part of the country is responsible for almost half of the illegal distribution of painkillers in the entire United States. Raymond G. Ferrero III, J.D., executive director of health affairs for Nova Southeastern University’s Health Professions Division observed, “South Florida has become an epicenter of the illegal prescription drug trade that’s feeding America’s demand for prescription painkillers and other addictive narcotics.”
We all know someone who is suffering but, sometimes it’s difficult to find treatment that really works. Narconon Suncoast Rehabilitation Center located in central Florida specializes in drug and alcohol addiction treatment and offers a program that demonstrates lasting success.
One of the advantages of Suncoast Rehab Center is that they offer people a non-traditional approach to establishing a sober life. The program that they offer is entirely drug-free and includes a detox program that utilizes exercise and sauna. This significantly reduces drug and alcohol cravings as the toxic substances are pushed out of the body. This frees the person from the harmful effects of drugs as it removes the drug residues for the fat tissue.
The chances of someone quitting drugs or alcohol without a drug treatment program is very slim. This is why it is important to find a program that is going to work and give an individual the tools to stay off of drugs and alcohols for the rest of their lives. The goal of Suncoast Rehabilitation Center is to have graduates who not only live drug-free lives but, who also go on to lead stable, ethical and productive lives as well.
One of the most successful centers in the Narconon network is Narconon Suncoast Drug Rehabilitation Center, located in central Florida. Here they offer a full-service in-patient center that delivers the full Narconon program; which is considered to be the most comprehensive drug rehabilitation program in the world. Narconon Suncoast deals directly with each individual’s addiction; assessing their personal recovery needs and goals.
Narconon Suncoast has achieved a remarkable level of success in its first year of operation both from the State and student standpoint. The Department of Children and Family Services (DCF) did its routine inspection as it does for any drug rehab facility and Narconon Suncoast received one of the highest scores ever given to a new facility.
