Port St. Lucie and South Florida Addiction Statistics

Much like the rest of the United States, Port St. Lucie and the rest of South Florida are facing concerns over rising rates of addiction. Therefore, residents of Port St. Lucie, like other cities throughout the country, have been impacted by the national opioid epidemic and pandemic-related substance abuse.

The Florida Department of Health shares the following addiction statistics:

In 2020, 15.5% of adults in St. Lucie County engaged in heavy or binge drinking
The age-adjusted death rate (AADR) of all drug overdoses in 2020 was 29.2 per 100,000 residents of St. Lucie county
Opioids alone accounted for an AADR of 25.4 per 100,000 residents of St. Lucie county in 2020
Heroin and other opioids contribute to a majority of drug-related emergency room visits, hospitalizations, and overdose deaths in St. Lucie

In addition, stimulant drugs, like crystal meth, bath salts, and cocaine, contribute to drug-related overdoses. However, opioids overall account for a majority of these issues. We commonly provide drug addiction treatment in Port St. Lucie and advocate for our clients to understand they are not alone.

Why is Addiction on the Rise?

It is often reported that increasing societal stressors paired with economic hardships and residual effects of the pandemic have contributed to the rise in addiction. With nearly half of the population experiencing barriers to mental health care, more Americans have attempted to numb their psychological pain with substances. This can make those susceptible to addiction more likely to develop a substance use disorder.

Once addiction takes hold, many people are afraid to ask for help. Of the individuals that do seek help, finding the right physician may prove difficult. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges, 21 million Americans suffer from addiction, while only 3,000 physicians are specially trained to treat them. However, treatment centers like Ambrosia have a highly trained team to provide drug and alcohol addiction treatment in Port St. Lucie.

What is Dual Diagnosis?

When someone experiences both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder at the same time, this is defined as dual diagnosis. Since each of these disorders can often lead to one another, dual diagnosis is widespread in those struggling with addiction. At Ambrosia, we understand that treating one problem while ignoring the other would create barriers to recovery. Therefore, we treat dual diagnosis during alcohol and drug addiction treatment.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Dual diagnosis treatment is designed to manage the concurrent existence of a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder. This broad-spectrum approach deals with both issues at once, given their frequent co-occurrence. The treatment may include a variety of therapies and strategies for managing medications. It’s essential due to the intricate dynamics of these coexisting disorders.

What Happens at Rehab in Port St. Lucie?

Rehabilitation in Port St. Lucie focuses on client-centric treatment strategies, providing a range of options for comprehensive care. With this objective, Ambrosia Treatment Center offers structured programs across all stages of care, geared towards individuals requiring initial stabilization and continued recovery support.

Port St. Lucie rehab includes:

Inpatient treatment for residential rehab of about 30 to 90 days, which involves:
- Individual and group therapy
- Relapse prevention skills
- Peer support
- Family programming
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) continue your treatment after you leave a residential facility and transition back to everyday life.
Outpatient treatment gives you the option to continue with therapy and other services via appointments, usually once a week.

As you advance through each level of care, you will gradually build the skills necessary for long-term recovery from addiction.

Location

Our Port St. Lucie Drug and Alcohol Rehab Amenities

It’s normal to not “want” to go to rehab. However, attending rehab is far better than feeling sick and depressed. Activities like art therapy, massage, and CrossFit keep you engaged while you get to the core of your addiction.

Without even realizing it, you form healthy habits and friendships that help you stay sober long after you leave. Building a new life stops triggers like anxiety, boredom, and self-doubt from taking over.

Reviews

The staff here saved my life, and the therapists are nothing short of amazing. They truly cared and wanted to see me succeed in my recovery. I’ll be forever grateful for everything they’ve done to help me become the person I’m supposed to be. In my addiction, I never actually grew up. I grew more in a month at Ambrosia than I have in a long time.

Frank B.
I was hesitant to send my daughter away again. She had been to several other rehabs, but she always went back to her old ways after a few weeks. But, something about Ambrosia stuck with her. The staff was wonderful, and constantly communicated with me from the start, and helped me to understand the disease. That means a lot for a scared Mom like me.

Debra S.
I would suggest Ambrosia to any parent who doesn’t know what to do. The staff was very kind and helpful. Family weekend was an exhausting experience for my wife, my daughter and I, but so worth it. Thank you for helping my daughter start her journey to recovery.

Marc W.
Ambrosia was exactly where I needed to be. Great staff, great facility, and I can’t thank my therapist enough for her help, especially in the beginning. I came here to get away from the temptations of my hometown and lay low for a while, but I walked away with so much more than that.

Ryan M.
I have nothing but good things to say about Ambrosia Treatment Center. Wellness answered all our questions and really went out of their way to help us get through the anxiety. The staff and counselors went above and beyond expectations. I would highly recommend Ambrosia to anyone who needs help.

Suzanne W.
After struggling for years, my son finally got some help. He didn’t want to go to treatment, so we had no choice but to kick him out of the house. Finally, he agreed to go. Ambrosia got him into a sober living program after treatment, and I couldn’t be prouder of the strides he is making in his life. I have no idea where our family would be without this place.

Mary K.
When anyone I know reaches out for help, I tell them to call Ambrosia. I’ve been out of treatment for months, and I still talk to my therapist when I need support. Thank God for people that share the gift of sobriety. I don’t know where I would be without them.

Kelly M.
Addiction cannot be cured overnight; it’s a process that requires patience. Ambrosia’s Wellness team taught me so much about how to keep realistic expectations for my daughter’s recovery. Sometimes I think I got as much out of her treatment as she did. There is always hope!

Deirdre S.
I’ve had the pleasure of working with dozens of youth who are very early on in their recovery. I am always overwhelmed by the response I get from Ambrosia alumni. It is a true testament to what you do so well, preparing your clients for life after treatment, and instilling in them the passion to give back what has been so graciously given to them. Bravo!

Ted K.
Ambrosia not only helped my son get his life back, it gave him the opportunity to be treated like a respected young man. He grew up while he was in there. I witnessed an amazing change in him. The counselors give incredible support and continue to do so a year later. I have nothing but great things to say about this place.

Karen C.
Overall, I had a positive experience during my stay at Ambrosia. I got out of it what I put into it.

John W.
Ambrosia truly saved my life. My counselor was a huge part of my support while here at Ambrosia. I don’t know what I would have done without her. She is my biggest advocate in Florida.

Shay N.
My experience with Ambrosia has been wonderful. They are very helpful in teaching clients about the disease, being there for mental and emotional support and spreading hope back into your heart. They take their job very professionally while maintaining personal care for each client. Its amazing to know that there is a place addicts can go to get the top level of care needed for a successful recovery.

Lex S.

My experience at Ambrosia was a gift. It allowed me to look at my disease honestly, while receiving excellent care and guidance. I would recommend it to any of my loved ones.

Tina P.
I enjoyed my stay here. I appreciate all the staff here.

Chelsea C.
I had an amazing counselor that has helped me with things I didn’t even knew existed. He reaches deep into my head and heart and finds things that affect the way I think and act. All the techs were helpful and I built a bond with the Ambrosia staff. I appreciate them all very much.

Coraline D.
The facilities are top notch. The counselors are over qualified and are friendly and helpful.

Great experience to strengthen my spiritual consciousness and give me the tools to properly attack recovery with enthusiasm.

Greg J.

They treat you with respect and care. The quality of life doesn’t get better than what is offered. It’s like our own little world that’s protected inside a safety bubble. I loved it, I didn’t want to leave.

It was great, I learned a ton, the staff was beyond helpful and caring. Everyone is willing to help you in any way they can.
