The need for Florida substance abuse treatment facilities is on the rise

For the most part, the terminology “substance abuse” refers to drug abuse, although it also encompasses the abuse of alcoholic beverages such as beer, cocktails, liquor, and wine.  It does not exclude the concept of dependency although it is oftentimes used in a non-medical context.  The terminology “substance abuse” has a huge range of definitions associated with the consumption of performance-enhancing or psychoactive substances that are taken for recreational purposes.

Additionally, the recreational consumption of these substances implies an overall negative judgment by society and societal organizations as they are typically consumed for getting “high” or achieving an effect that is non-medical or non-therapeutic in nature.  According to the DEA and the US National Institute of Health, the following substances that are most often associated with substance abuse include:

• alcohol
• amphetamines
• barbiturates
• benzodiazepines
• cocaine (crack or powder)
• heroin
• marijuana
• MDMA’s (club or date-rape drugs)
• methaqualone
• opioid-based painkillers

Additionally, the consequences of substance abuse affect the individual on several levels of the human structure such as the emotional, physiological, and psychological levers.  Of equal importance is the impact that substance abuse and addiction has on the legal and societal level.  Criminal activity results in many cases when a person is looking for their next “fix” so legal issues are very common where substance abuse is concerned and this also impacts the individual at the societal level as well.

The need for Florida substance abuse treatment facilities

As a result of the above, and the fact that a lot of illegally trafficked substances enter the US through the state, there has been an ongoing need for effective Florida substance abuse treatment facilities.  Unfortunately, too many of them today are patterned after the traditional addiction treatment and recovery centers that look like clinics are hospitals.  These facilities tend to be very intimidating to the addicted individual who is reaching out for help.

Conversely, the Delray Recovery Center is a beautifully designed residential facility that offers alternative Florida substance abuse treatment programs and a homelike environment for our clients to recover in comfort and without the intimidation factor mentioned above.  Our facility is located in Delray Beach, Florida which is one of the most scenic beach cities on the Atlantic side of the state and we are situated in a beautiful residential neighborhood and our clients benefit from a lot of the amenities that they have at home.
