The Opioid Epidemic.

It has become truly insidious.  More than 33,000 Americans died from opioids in the most recent reporting year of 2015 and you can be sure that 2016 was even worse.  That statistic comes directly from the Center for Disease Control.  What is most alarming is that about half of those deaths come from perfectly legal prescription drugs!

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has been put in charge of a new commission which has been tasked to make recommendations on how to curb the epidemic that is killing nearly 80 of our citizens every day.  One of the first things Christie said was “we can help people by getting them the appropriate treatment”.

What is the appropriate treatment for you or a loved one who has become dependent on opioids for daily comfort?  May we suggest the breathtaking shores of the Gulf of Mexico in Destin Florida?  That is the home of opioid addiction center Blu By the Sea.  Please visit the website www.blubythesea.com then call to arrange a visit at (850) 424-3252.
