]]> Question by lourdes r: Why are the most conducive drug treatment centers in the United States situated in Florida?
I’ve heard a lot about the drug treatment centers in Florida. Apparently, some are the best in the country. This just piqued my curiosity. Why in Florida, of all the states?

Best answer:

Answer by edwina l
Florida houses a lot of drug treatment centers because a lot of types of drugs permeate that state. Some of the common types of drugs that can be found in Florida are: club drugs, ecstasy, cocaine, and heroin. Due to Florida’s possession of these illegal drugs in large quantities, the state made it a point to build various drug treatment centers that aim to help individuals veer away from the usage of drugs.

Treatment Approaches for Alcohol and Drug Dependence: An Introductory Guide

The first edition of this book was based upon the recommendations of the Quality Assurance in the Treatment of Drug Dependence Project, and provided a step-by-step-guide for therapists working with clients with alcohol or other drug dependency or misuse. Since publication in 1995 it has become well known for its easy-to-read style and wealth of practical resource materials. However, the evidence in the field has moved forward in the last eight years, creating a need for an updated edition. Retaining the trademark easy-to-use, up-to-date style, the Second Edition offers new chapters on pharmacotherapies, case management, young people, and dual diagnosis. Other chapters have been updated to reflect the latest research findings and current practice, and the practice sheets and client handouts are made available online for downloading and customization by therapists.
