Palm Beach, Florida, is a top tourist destination for people from around the world, but those who are locals or live in nearby Fort Lauderdale, Port Lucie and Miami know that prescription drug abuse and heroin addiction are rampant problems. Due to its ports, Palm Beach is a hotbed of trafficking for a variety of drugs including heroin, a highly addictive opioid-based drug.

Opiate painkillers, too, are a huge cause for concern in Palm Beach and the surrounding areas. Oxycodone, primarily in the form of OxyContin, is by far the most common drug of choice, closely followed by hydrocodone in the form of Vicodin and hydromorphone in the form of Dilaudid. Users commonly crush the pills and inject or snort them to get high. Still others became addicted through a legitimate prescription for moderate to severe pain but soon find themselves in a situation that has spun out of control.

No matter which opiate drug has you in its grips, Meditox has a center conveniently located in Palm Beach so that you can easily access an outpatient treatment program designed to help you break your addiction and move on with your life.

The Need for Opiate Drug Addiction Treatment in Palm Beach and Florida

There are more than 17 million people living in Florida today, a population count that ranks the state fourth in the nation. With 8426 miles of shoreline and 11,761 square miles of inland water, the transportation infrastructure is almost unparalleled in the United States for ease of drug trafficking. Add to that the proximity of the state to drug-producing countries and countries through which drug manufacturers find transit, and you have a Mecca for drug distribution and, along with it, a high rate of addiction among locals. Every year, the number of people admitted to treatment facilities for heroin addiction increases. In one five-year period, more than 15,000 people sought help for heroin addiction - and that is only to facilities that are publicly funded. The private facilities cared for an additional thousands of heroin addicts as well as those addicted to prescription painkillers.

Heroin and Opiate Painkiller Addiction in Palm Beach and Florida

Unfortunately, in addition to the high numbers of addicts who receive the treatment they need, there are thousands more who do not. According to surveys, illicit drug use is far more extensive than is accounted for by those who enter drug rehab facilities. According to the 2001 Youth Risk Behavior Survey, almost 4 percent of teenagers surveyed reported using heroin in their lifetime. About 6 percent of adults reported heroin use during the same time period.

Prescription drugs like OxyContin, hydrocodone, Vicodin and methadone are also common drugs of addiction in Palm Beach and across the state. Even when used as directed, it's easy to develop a tolerance to the drug, requiring more and more to effectively fight pain. Should you decrease your dose or try to stop taking the drug, you will experience withdrawal symptoms, the very definition of opiate addiction.

Meditox can help you avoid these nasty withdrawal symptoms with a cutting edge opiate detox that allows you to stop taking your drug of addiction immediately and detox in the comfort of your own home.
