When looking for an addiction treatment facility in Florida it is important to find out what their viewpoint on addiction is. In other words, do they feel that addiction can be successfully halted for a life without drugs or do they feel that addiction is an incurable disease that requires life-long treatment and potentially harmful prescriptions.

Unprecedented increases in levels of abuse pose a serious threat
to the health and safety of Florida citizens. The Florida Medical Examiners
report that five people die in Florida daily as a direct result of prescription
drug overdoses. Current investigations indicate that diversion of hydrocodone
(e.g. Vicodin®) and oxycodone (e.g. OxyContin®) products are a problem.
Benzodiapezines (such as Xanax® and its generic alprazolam) and methadone
are also identified as being among the most commonly abused and diverted
pharmaceuticals in Florida. Primary methods of diversion include the Internet,
illegal sale and distribution by health care professionals and workers,
doctor shopping, forged prescriptions and employee theft. Florida
has emerged as a center for Internet holding companies which organize (and
sometimes control) websites, physicians, pharmacies, and even pharmaceutical
wholesalers. The Tampa area has become ground zero for Internet
diversion.
Methamphetamine has impacted the majority of Floridas 67 counties and use is widespread. The 2006 Interim (JanuaryJune) Report of the Florida Medical Examiners reports there were 58 methamphetamine-related deaths throughout the state. Methamphetamine is transported into Florida in multi-pound increments by Mexican drug trafficking organizations based along the Southwest Border and California. Methamphetamine produced in super labs in Texas and California transits into Florida along the Interstate-10 corridor. A new trend has recently emerged which is the distribution of crystal methamphetamine from Atlanta area sources. Crystal methamphetamine, with high purity levels, is transported from Atlanta into northern Florida and then distributed throughout the state. There has been a significant increase in crystal methamphetamine use within the South Florida club scene.
Miami remains the primary source of cocaine HCl procured by crack cocaine trafficking organizations for transport and conversion within their areas. Mexican organizations have especially made inroads in north and central Florida. Drug trafficking organizations dealing in crack cocaine have been identified in Orlando, Gainesville, Fort Myers, Jacksonville, Fort Pierce and West Palm Beach, thus demonstrating the availability of crack throughout Florida. Each of these areas has organizations capable of conducting crack cocaine conversion operations. African American and Haitian traffickers, as well as street gang members, continue to dominate crack distribution throughout Florida. Distribution generally centers around public housing developments and inner city areas. Organizations typically employ minors as lookouts and runners, who re-supply the street dealers from stash locations.
