Drug Detox Can Help with Prescription Drug Addiction
Florida got a little more than $2 million as its share of the Purdue OxyContin settlement but it looks like none of it will go to funding the drug detox so desperately needed for those who need to overcome OxyContin addiction and abuse.
$1.2 million is reimbursement to the Florida Medicaid program, and the balance goes to the federal government as reimbursement for its share of Medicaid costs.
The prescription drug addiction situation in Florida has become a major problem: According to state medical examiners, five people die from prescription drugs every day. And the most common culprits are OxyContin, Vicodin, and related drugs.
You may not be getting any of the Purdue money, but if you or someone you care about has been taking one of these drugs, it’s best to find a Florida drug detox program that offers medically supervised withdrawal. I know you probably think ‘it can’t happen to me’, but I’m sure most of those five people who die every day thought the same thing. Find a drug detox program that can help you.
