What Is an Opioid Addiction Treatment Service?

It’s almost impossible to escape the subject these days in the news. Each day more and more Americans fall victim to opioid abuse. Opioid abuse has, in fact, grown into a serious public health issue. As that happens, opioid treatment services become ever more important.

People arrive at their addiction in a number of different ways. Some get hooked on prescription pain pills after surgery or to deal with a chronic pain issue. Some continue taking painkillers long after they are needed. Of that number, some people will switch over to heroin. This is done for two reasons. First, they can no longer get doctors to prescribe pain killers. Second, heroin is cheaper and easier to obtain. Before long, they find themselves in a situation that they can no longer control.

As the addiction takes over, it can seem impossible to find a path to healing and hope. Beaches help people find the path to healing and who they want to become through opioid treatment services.

If you’re suffering from opioid addiction, you can do something about it. Learn more about opioid addiction rehab in Florida.

The Need for Opioid Treatment Services Has Never Been Higher

According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, “Each day, 44 people in the United States die from an overdose of prescription drugs.” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that more than 60 percent of those deaths involve an opioid, and nearly 80 percent of individuals addicted to opioids never receive treatment.

To help combat this, Beaches Recovery is trying to help as many people as possible break the cycle of opioid addiction by providing opioid treatment services. Our goal is simple. We help those suffering from addiction learn to live happy and healthy lives.

What Recovery Looks Like at Beaches

Affectionately known as Beaches by our patients, lives change every day here. Patient education, progressive evidenced-based treatments, experiential therapy programs in FL, and learning new and healthy life skills are just some of the things that make Beaches a special and comfortable place to heal and reclaim life. Our client care experts follow the latest recommendations supported by research in opioid treatment services.

Beaches’ Medical Director, Dr. Marcus De Carvalho, notes that “Beaches’ program includes caring for one’s biological, social, and psychological needs.”

Consistent patient education is unique to our program and plays a vital role in the healing process. “Right from the ‘get-go,’ we educate individuals on the fact that this (opioid addiction) is an epidemic,” notes De Carvalho. “Once the pattern of addiction has set in, the brain changes in a way that makes it believe that they need heroin or the opioid to survive.”

Beaches recognizes opioid addiction as a brain disease. Some clients may benefit from medication-assisted treatment (MAT). This is the use of medication in combination with the use of behavioral therapies to combat opioid addiction.

The Beaches Experience

Clients at Beaches have the opportunity to work with knowledgeable medical professionals to consider all options. They can also participate in designing an opioid treatment services program that meets their individual needs.

“Our goal at Beaches is to get our clients to engage in new experiences and to find something they can become passionate about,” notes Scott Cretul, Outdoor Therapeutic Adventure Program Director. “In these moments, I catch glimpses of real smiles, which reflect true happiness and accomplishment. I’m committed to helping our clients see the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle in mind, body, and spirit.”

Sara, a proud Beaches alumni recalls, “In the West Coast treatment center I was at before Beaches, I felt trapped and wasn’t treated like an individual. But when I got here, they worked with me to help me understand how to deal with my addiction. They also helped me figure out who I want to be as a person.”

“Learning new healthy life skills is a big part of what we do,” said Hallie Marcotte, Business Development at Beaches Recovery. Whether it’s relearning how to have fun in healthy ways such as surfing, yoga, or even hiking, our professional staff introduce our client’s to new and healthy ways to live their lives on a daily basis.”

Kyle Marcotte, Founder and CEO of Beaches Recovery, and his staff know that “There is nothing more rewarding than being approached by a family that says ‘thank you for bringing their loved one back’ to them.” While in the throes of addiction, it may seem like there is no path to healing. In fact, a happy and healthy life may often feel far out of reach. Families and their loved ones can rest assured that Beaches has a resolution.
