When a loved one is showing signs of an addiction or is behaving in a way that is significantly different from his or her previous behavior, it can raise concerns about the possibility that he or she is abusing drugs or alcohol. In Florida, almost 9 percent of the residents abuse drugs or alcohol, says the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Although Port Orange has a relatively large population of almost 57,000 residents, according to City Data, the crime rates are significantly lower than the national averages. The low crime rates suggest that the area may have a lower rate of substance abuse, but there is a treatment program available if a loved one does exhibit odd behaviors.

The Treatment Program

Odd behavior does not always mean that an individual is abusing drugs or alcohol; however, it can be a sign of addiction or substance abuse. The Counseling Associates of Port Orange Inc provides treatments for co-occurring disorders, so it can handle addiction recovery and any mental health disorders that may arise when an individual is acting out in an odd manner. The facility provides out-patient treatment, so it is not necessary to take a leave of absence from work or to avoid personal obligations to the family.

Paying For Treatment

Although the program follows a luxury treatment approach and does require self-payment, it will also accept military insurance policies. Active and retired members of the military may have a higher risk of substance abuse and addiction due to their experiences in a war zone and the possibility of developing a mental health disorder in relation to the stress of their career. Counseling Associates of Port Orange Inc can help with any factors that are contributing to an addiction, even if it is related to a dangerous work environment.

There are several factors that impact the risk of addiction. Although Port Orange has a lower risk due to the low crime rates and the safety of the area, there is always the possibility that a loved one will become involved with drugs or alcohol. Fortunately, there are also treatment options that can help with the recovery process. For more information or for help obtaining rehab resources, contact DrugRehab.org.
