Having a Frank Discussion about Drug Abuse.

This holiday season we are gathered together with people we rarely see.  Relatives and friends often arrive for dinner and good cheer.  I know that it is extraordinarily difficult to discuss someone’s substance abuse problem whom you love.  Maybe having the opportunity to talk to someone “second hand” at a holiday gathering will give you the opening that you are looking for.

When will there be a better opportunity to reach out to a sister or brother about your nephew or niece?  That is just one possible example.  If you let this holiday season pass maybe you will never have another opportunity to open the dialogue again.  It takes uncommon courage, but it is something you will never regret if it leads to saving the life of a loved one.

When the holidays are over may we direct you to Blu By the Sea?  The help your loved one needs may be located on Florida’s beautiful Gulf Coast.  Blu By the Sea is a Rehabilitation center on the Florida Panhandle overlooking the breathtaking Gulf of Mexico.  Discover more about their facilities and treatment options by calling (850) 424-3252.

The Danger in Combining Drugs.

When you hear about a drug overdose death there is a better than 50% certainty that the overdose was caused by more than one drug.  More importantly, some or all of those drugs were prescribed by a doctor and if they had been taken separately in the proper dose that person would not only be alive, but well.  It is commonly known that when prescription drugs are combined with alcohol the result may be catastrophic.

Many times people consider themselves invincible and take drugs recreationally to enhance a high.  Have you or someone you know ever “chased a high”?  Which simply means trying to re-create that initial euphoria that you received from an initial hit or dose.  Of course, the results can be unpredictable resulting, in some cases, in cardiac arrest.

Before you or someone you care about reaches that critical breaking point, reach out for help.  There is a place for short or longer term care in a beautiful setting along Florida’s Gulf Coast.  That place is Blu By the Sea.  It is located in gorgeous Destin Florida in the heart of the Panhandle.  Make it a priority to call them today to discover more about their facilities and treatment options by calling (850) 424-3252.

Choosing the Right Drug Rehab Facility.

When you are searching for the right facility for you or a loved one try to eliminate the negative elements.  Concentrate on what is important to your treatment goals.  Look for a private setting that does the real work that it takes to fully recover.  Find a facility that feels right from the moment you enter it.  You will know.

When you walk through the halls is everything neat and clean and does it feel homey and comfortable?  Check out each individual sleeping area for comfort and cleanliness.  You should see how the food is prepared and if possible stay and have a meal.  Are you allowed to talk to the staff privately about their experiences with patients?  Your immediate future or the future of your loved one will be in their hands so it has to be just right.
