Florida Rehab Addiction Treatment Programs
Ocean Breeze Recovery: Drug Rehabilitation Alcohol Rehab Center
Ocean Breeze Recovery is a private Florida rehab and addiction treatment center located in Pompano Beach, Florida. As a top Florida rehab clinic we are at the forefront of many aspects of addiction recovery including integrated addiction treatment programs, education, consultation, and intervention.
Drug and alcohol addiction is a complex illness characterized by intense and, at times, uncontrollable craving, along with compulsive drug and alcohol seeking and use that persists even in the face of devastating consequences. While the path to addiction begins with the voluntary act of taking drugs or alcohol, over time a person’s ability to choose not to do so becomes compromised, and seeking and consuming the drugs or alcohol becomes compulsive. This behavior results largely from the effects of prolonged drug and alcohol exposure on brain functioning. Addiction is a brain disease that affects multiple brain circuits, including those involved in reward and motivation, learning and memory, and inhibitory control over behavior. This makes the drug alcohol recovery process from addiction extremely complicated and difficult and increases the need for professional addiction treatment assistance.
All too often, drug and alcohol addiction in the United States goes untreated. In fact, according to SAMHSA’s National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), 23.2 million people (9.4 percent of the United States population) aged 12 or older needed addiction treatment for an illicit drug or alcohol use problem in 2007. Of these individuals, 2.4 million (10.4 percent of those who needed treatment) received treatment at a specialty facility (i.e., hospital, drug or alcohol rehabilitation or mental health center like Ocean Breeze Recovery). Thus, 20.8 million persons (8.4 percent of the population aged 12 or older) needed treatment for an illicit drug or alcohol use problem but did not receive it. These estimates are similar to those in previous years.
It is estimated that substance abuse costs the United States over one half-trillion dollars a year; however, effective addiction treatment, including our Florida rehab treatment, can go a long way in helping to reduce these costs.
In fact drug addiction treatment has been shown to reduce associated health and social costs by far more than the cost of the addiction treatment itself. Addiction treatment is much less expensive than its alternatives, such as incarcerating addicted persons. For example, the average cost for 1 full year of methadone maintenance treatment is approximately $4,700 per patient, whereas 1 full year of imprisonment costs approximately $24,000 per person.

Licenses and Accreditations
Ocean Beach Recovery Florida rehab is licensed by the Florida Department of Children and Families. In addition, we are an approved education provider through the Florida Certification Board, the Florida Department of Education and the National Association for Alcohol and Drug Addiction Counselors (NAADAC).
In addition to Florida rehab and addiction treatment services Ocean Breeze Recovery is also committed to promoting the prevention of drug and alcohol abuse. We firmly believe that drug and alcohol addiction is a completely preventable disease. This is supported by results from a recent National Institute of Drug Abuse funded research study which showed that prevention programs involving families, schools, communities, and the media are extremely effective in reducing drug and alcohol abuse. Although we understand that many events and cultural factors affect drug and alcohol abuse trends, when youths perceive drug and alcohol abuse as harmful, they reduce or eliminate their drug and alcohol intake. That is why Ocean Breeze Recovery Florida rehab believes that education and outreach are the keys to helping youth and the general public understand the risks of drug and alcohol abuse. To this end, teachers, parents, medical and public health professionals must keep sending the message that drug and alcohol addiction can be prevented when people never abuse drugs or alcohol. We are committed to perpetuating this message and this is why education is such an important component of our Florida rehab services.
