Understanding the concern
Prescription medicine use and assessment in South Florida
A prescription doesn’t, by itself, show whether medicine is being used as directed. Misuse can involve taking prescription medicine differently than directed, and people’s experiences vary. Read about prescription drug use and see the scope of adult treatment programs available through Florida Helps.
The way a medicine is used matters when considering a concern. That could mean a prescription medicine is being used differently than directed; over-the-counter medicines can also be misused. The presence of a prescription doesn’t answer every question about someone’s experience, and a website can’t diagnose a person.
An assessment for prescription medicine use in South Florida can help bring the person’s circumstances into focus. Substance use concerns can differ in severity, and care needs can vary with substance use patterns and medical, mental health, and social needs. Florida Helps provides adult detox and residential addiction treatment, with co-occurring support within those programs.
