Cheaper Meth and Heroin are Flooding into America.

Did you know that there is a new flood of cheap heroin and Meth coming into the US every day?  With the continued decriminalization of marijuana the drug lords have turned their attention to narcotics as their main profit center.  Marijuana made in the USA is quickly displacing the cheap, seedy, hard-packed version harvested in Mexico’s Sierra Madre Mountains.

US law enforcement agents are now seizing more and more kilograms of heroin.  Methamphetamine has also surged, mocking the Hollywood image of the TV show “Breaking Bad”.  These days the large-scale U.S. meth labs are pretty much gone.  Now the drug suppliers mostly from Mexico have taken over production south of the border and distribution into the United States.

With this startling revelation comes the need for help.  Do you or someone you know have a heroin or meth addiction?  There is a remarkable place in Florida’s panhandle on the breathtaking Gulf Coast, where you have the opportunity to fight the ravages of drug abuse.  It is called Blu By The Sea.  Please visit our website at www.blubythesea.com and view the details of our facility located in Destin, Florida.  The future is full of hope and promise.

The Facts about Craving Alcohol.

What are the specific factors that affect the brain when alcohol is consumed in high quantities?

We know that excessive consumption of alcohol has damaging long-term effects on the body and mind.  Short term memory loss is something to be aware of in the early stages of brain disturbance due to alcohol consumption. 

There are many reasons why some people are able to consume alcohol in moderate to higher quantities without notable deleterious consequences and others cannot.  Among those are family history, a person’s age, gender, and genetics play a major roll as well.  How long have you been drinking and in what amounts?  Even the fact that a person was exposed to alcohol before they were born is significant.

Getting to the root of the problem and treating it properly is the ticket to long-term survival and better health.  There is a remarkable place in Florida’s panhandle on the breathtaking Gulf Coast where you have the opportunity to rediscover yourself.  Please visit our website at www.blubythesea.com and peruse the details of our facility located in Destin Florida.  Yes, the New Year holds great promise for you and your family.

SAMHSA

Here is a word about SAMHSA which stands for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.  SAMSHA is a branch of the Health and Human Services Department.  Their mission is to improve the quality of prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation services.  They also strive to make these services more accessible to the average American.

To demonstrate how vital the federal government deems SAMHSA to be, the US Congress has directed SAMHSA to target effectively substance abuse and mental health services to the people most in need and to translate research in these areas more effectively and rapidly into the general health care system.  To discover more about SAMHSA’s mission statement visit their website at www.samhsa.gov.

There is a remarkable place in Florida’s panhandle on the breathtaking Gulf Coast that promotes the SAMSHA mission where you have the opportunity to reinvent yourself.  It is called Blu By The Sea.  Please visit our website at www.blubythesea.com and view the details of our facility located in Destin Florida.  The future holds great promise for you and your family.

A New Year’s Resolution of Recovery

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.
