Understanding cravings
Prescription drug cravings and support in South Florida
Cravings can feel persistent, but they don’t tell the whole story of what you need. Learn about prescription drug use and Florida Helps’ adult programs to understand the concerns and care involved. A professional assessment can help account for individual patterns and needs.
Prescription drug misuse includes using a prescription medicine differently from its directions or in an unintended way. That definition doesn’t diagnose you or explain what care is right for you. People respond differently to substances, so a loved one’s experience or another person’s story can’t determine your needs.
If cravings are disrupting routines or creating worry, you don’t have to wait for a crisis to look for support. Florida Helps provides adult drug and alcohol detox and residential addiction treatment in Miramar. Call admissions at (866) 931-9677 to talk about prescription drug cravings and whether its care may fit.

Prescription drug use
Understanding prescription drug use and individual needs
Prescription medicines can be misused in different ways, and one person’s experience doesn’t predict another’s. Explore prescription drug concerns and review the adult care programs available at Florida Helps. A professional assessment considers the person, rather than relying on a label or assumption.
Prescription drug misuse can involve taking medicine in a way other than directed. Repeated substance use can affect the brain and behavior, but a webpage can’t determine whether you have a substance use disorder. The level of concern and the kind of support needed vary from person to person.

Florida Helps’ adult programs are drug and alcohol detox and residential addiction treatment; co-occurring support is within those programs.

Planning support beyond the first phase of care
Detox and ongoing treatment serve different roles, so thinking about what follows matters. Read about prescription drug concerns and see Florida Helps’ adult program scope. Its care includes adult detox and residential addiction treatment, giving you a place to discuss support beyond an initial phase.
Detoxification and withdrawal management are not the same as ongoing treatment.
