An addiction to drugs isn’t something most people set as their life goal, but things happen that may lead to substance misuse. Once you realize you have a problem with drugs, the next step is finding help. FHE Health’s Deerfield Beach, Florida, drug rehab is here to help residents of Broward County and the surrounding South Florida area, as well as those who are willing to travel from other parts of the country.
The professionals at FHE Health’s Deerfield Beach rehab campus realize that drug addiction is a medical issue, not a lifestyle choice. We work hard to ensure that residents and participants in our outpatient programs have the support they need to get sober and stay that way. This means doing much more than just treating an addiction.
Why Is It Important to Enter a Drug Rehabilitation Program?
Trying to get off drugs and stay sober without support and treatment is not only challenging but impossible for many addicts. Substance abuse disorders affect more than 20 million people in the United States. Unfortunately, the vast majority of them — approximately 90% — don’t receive the treatment they need to get sober.
Many people who are addicted to drugs have underlying medical or mental health issues they need to address so they can maximize their chances of getting sober and remaining that way. In some cases, past traumas have led to them turning to drugs to try to cope with the situation.
