Evidence-Based Addiction Therapies at Principles Recovery
What To Look For in a Fort Lauderdale Drug Rehab
Seeking addiction treatment is a vital first step on your journey to recovery. When you are ready to overcome an addiction to drugs, it is important to choose a treatment center where the treatment environment and the therapy model align with your treatment needs and goals. Drug addictions can be dangerous, and seeking help to put drug dependency behind you is essential to a safe and successful detox. For example, drugs, including alcohol, depressants, benzodiazepines, and prescription opioids, can produce dangerous, sometimes fatal, symptoms if someone stops using without the guidance and support of caring treatment professionals in drug rehab in Fort Lauderdale.
When you or a loved one are ready to quit drugs or alcohol, seeing help is important. Choosing to stop using suddenly, also called quitting “cold turkey,” clean can bring about acute withdrawal symptoms, which can be challenging to manage. It is important to choose a Fort Lauderdale drug and alcohol rehab where supervised (medically supported) detox is available. During medically supported detox, a team of skilled medical and addiction treatment professionals will provide support and guidance throughout the detox process. It is also important to choose a rehab in Fort Lauderdale, where the treatment model and treatment programs are equipped to handle your specific substance abuse treatment needs. If you need medically assisted detox and the program does not provide it, your treatment program is unlikely to help you achieve your sobriety goals.
Once you have completed detox, you can transition into the therapeutic portion of addiction treatment at Principles Recovery Center. When you arrive at Principles, we will work with you to design a comprehensive treatment plan based on evidence-based therapy models proven to help you achieve sobriety and lasting recovery.
“I can not even express the gratitude I have for Principles Recovery Center, from the staff who genuinely cares and it’s evident to the facility itself. This place has given me a whole new perspective on what it means to be in recovery and life in general. The amount of support and help is always there for the taking. This is not a business, this is a place where the staff takes pride in watching us grow and supporting us each step of the way.” - Jacqui M.
Opiates and fentanyl also contribute to the drug-related challenges for Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. In 2018, the county medical examiner reported nearly 360 deaths related to heroin overdose. Of those, 65% occurred in cases where fentanyl was also used. On its own, fentanyl is a growing problem in Fort Lauderdale. Deaths related to fentanyl overdose increased by more than 13% in southern Florida from 750 in 2017 to 851 in 2018.
The medical examiner also tracks non-fatal EMS responses to drug overdose calls in Broward County. Between 2017 and 2019, the rate of non-fatal overdose increased by 61% in Broward County, indicating the struggles with opioids and other highly addictive drugs remain a challenge in Fort Lauderdale and throughout the county. Other drugs, including methamphetamines, marijuana, prescription painkillers, and psychoactive drugs, are also trouble areas in Broward County. Methamphetamines and amphetamines were linked to a combined 241 deaths in 2018, and prescription drugs (oxycodone and Xanax) were detected in 873 deaths that same year. Specific statistics for marijuana and psychoactive drugs such as MDMA, ecstasy, and molly were not provided.

Why Choose Our Rehab in Fort Lauderdale, Florida
At our family-owned Fort Lauderdale Rehab, we provide a broad range of treatment services designed to help you overcome addiction in the way that works best for you. We offer a comprehensive inpatient drug and alcohol treatment program designed to help you get well. Addiction is a disease unique to the individual, and therefore, each treatment program needs to address your physical, psychological, and spiritual needs. We understand that what works for one person may not be at all beneficial for someone else.
Addiction is treated based on several factors, including the severity of your addiction, the substance or substance you use, how long you have been using, and your history with addiction treatment and relapse. It is also vital to consider any underlying medical or mental health conditions (dual-diagnosis conditions) that could hinder your ability to fully recover from addiction. At Principles Recovery Center, our treatment team is skilled in addressing the unique needs of dual diagnosis conditions to ensure you receive the most well-rounded treatment possible.
At our drug and alcohol rehab in Fort Lauderdale, we provide various levels of care to meet a range of treatment needs. Depending on the severity of your addiction, we offer outpatient and partial-day programs. While each program provides supported, effective addiction treatment care, each provides a different level of patient support based on your level of need. Additionally, we have programs unique to teens and a program specific to our Spanish-speaking patients. As you approach the end of your treatment program, our aftercare and alumni services will ensure you have the support you need in the early stages of recovery and beyond.
