Understanding care
Prescription Opioid Concerns and Adult Treatment
Prescription opioid concerns are individual, and the right next step depends on the person’s circumstances. Information about prescription opioid use can help you understand the topic; adult treatment programs explain Florida Helps’ care scope. A qualified health professional must discuss whether medication is appropriate for a particular person.
A family member’s experience can’t be fully understood from the name of a substance alone. Their situation and needs are individual, and a concern isn’t itself a diagnosis. When supporting an adult family member with prescription opioids use, focus on compassion and useful information rather than trying to determine a treatment plan yourself.
Medication can be part of treatment for some substance use disorders, but that possibility doesn’t establish a medication plan or a specific offering at a treatment facility. Florida Helps provides adult drug and alcohol detox and residential addiction treatment in Miramar. Call to discuss the concern and understand the care within those programs.
