Drug rehab marketinghttps://www.behavioralhealthnetworkresources.com/events/drug-rehab-marketing-ideas-raised-400000-scholarships/ is a difficult task. This is evident when looking closely at substance abuse rehabilitation website site. Sure they all look pretty, but that is not what we are talking about here.

What is Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) by Drug Rehabs?
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is becoming more accepted in the professional community. The heroin epidemic is taking more than 150 lives every day. Whether you agree with MAT or not, there is no denying the evidence-based studies that show the mortality success rates above 60%. It also drastically reduces infections and diseases associated with addiction. However, it must be clear that the MAT is not for everyone, and individuals must see a qualified addiction physician and find out if they are a good fit for this form of treatment.
Educating Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) from West Palm Beach, FL
Medication-assisted treatment in the context of Addiction Medicine, is an acronym that stands for “Medication Assisted Treatment”. How does this apply to opiate use disorders? (addiction to heroin, Dilaudid, Roxicodone, etc.). When individuals are seeking addiction treatment starting with opiate detox West Palm Beach, they don’t realize the medication-assisted treatment options. This is critical since Governor Scott announced a nation health emergency from the opiate epidemic.
There are two different drug and alcohol addiction disease models often used to explain an individual’s predilection for addiction- the “moral model” and the “disease model”. This reinforced by the vast majority of experts in the field of Addiction Medicine was that addiction is, in fact, chronic brain disease and we should manage it as we would manage other chronic disease states such as diabetes and hypertension.
This management of other chronic diseases includes the comprehensive approach of lifestyle modification and medication, when appropriate. We are already aware of the lifestyle component of addiction treatment- namely the various stages of rehabilitation, and then proceeding with 12 step work, attending meetings, etc. But, what about the medication aspect of treating this particular chronic disease? This aspect of treating addiction with medication is known as medication-assisted treatment (MAT).
During the radio show below we discuss with a prominent South Florida Addiction Treatment physician specializing in medication-assisted treatment and drug addiction treatment. He educates on evidenced-based treatment and how the views on this life-saving treatment are changing. This show will educate on drug rehabs West Palm Beach, however, it can be used in any area of the United States.

Sober livings West Palm Beach, Florida is a must know for anyone seeking a sober homes or halfway houses. Sober Living plays a critical role in the recovery process. Individuals that decide to drive the road to recovery encounter may detours and obstacles that can sidetrack their recovery. While there are many choices of sober living homes, you’ll want to make sure the home you choose offers the highest level of care, qualities, features that foster total support for your recovery success and are not operating unethically.
Fighting Against Patient Brokering Sober Livings West Palm Beach
Below are the top 5 sober livings West Palm Beach, Florida, however the recommendation to contact the following organizations will help reduce the risks of being in the wrong hands and life threatening situations. There are two very important organizations that one should contact or meet while in the process of picking a sober living. These organizations are; Palm Beach County Substance Awareness Coalition (PBCSAC) and Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR).
Trusted organizations for Halfway Houses and Sober Livings When Searching Sober Livings West Palm Beach
The PBCSAC is a collection of ethical treatment centers, government organizations and individuals setting the framework protecting against “patient brokering”, and better treatment for the addiction treatment. This organization has many ethical centers, meets every Tuesday from 9:30 am – 12 Noon at 2300 High Ridge Rd, Boynton Beach, FL., and you can contact them at 561-374-7627.
FARR is an organization that holds sober livings West Palm Beach at a higher level and is extremely concerned about patient brokering and a high-quality care. They have intense and strict guidelines that sober livings and halfway houses must produce and maintain to have FARR certification. FARR works closely with law makers fighting for regulation of sober livings protecting the many that are in need of sober livings. You can contact FARR at 561-299-0405.
Carefully Pick Recovery Residences, Sober Livings or Halfway Houses in West Palm Beach, FL
Individuals seeking sober livings in the West Palm Beach, FL area or being recommended to a sober living by a treatment center, must be careful and cautious before making the decision. Unfortunately, there are “unethical” players out there preying on many addicts that are vulnerable, scared, and clueless to what is happening by letting these scumbags place them in a sober home or treatment center. These situations are serious enough that law enforcement by the Florida State Attorney, Dave Aronberg have been prosecuting (felonies with long jail sentences) dozens fighting for addicts and individuals seeking help.
Rehab Patient Brokering Back Room Deals
These individuals have back-room deals with treatment centers, or several treatment centers brokering addicts for $500-$2,500 a head. The treatment centers can gain anywhere from $10,000 – $100,000’s of dollars on a single patient. If you are ever offered money to go into treatment you need to report them to the Sober Homes Task Force tip line toll free tip line at 844-324-5463, and get far away from that individual and centers associated with them. You can read the patient brokering act (CLICK HERE for Florida Patient Brokering law) and you will be able to determine exactly if you are being taken advantage of and if you are in danger.
While this seems to be a great opportunity to get some much-needed cash, they are placing you in the hands of people that do not care about you, your treatment, your future, or regards to your life. They will talk a great game, be your best friend, connect with you sharing their recovery story, and make you feel like they can help. However, they only care about the personal monetary gain from placing you, how they can manipulate the insurance to continue to pay for “treatment”. These entities have been known to allow drug and alcohol use, entice relapse so you go back to a higher level of care, extortion, and use tactics to keep you in their hands. We have written this article sober livings criteria South Florida” to help educate individuals seeking help and inform them to assist them in recovery journey.
These situations will put you at high risk for; relapse, homelessness, and death.
Confusion Over Patient Brokering Laws
There is much confusion for the sober living operators over the last legislation passed regarding regulation of “recovery residences.” Many operators do not clearly understand what is required from the loosely written regulation with several “loop holes.” However, there is new legislation in the process of being passed (House Bill 807), which is now in Congresses hands to get approved. These new changes will put much needed regulation in place to fight the vast, national underground network of “patient brokers”.
The corruption and unethical practices are widespread, and nationwide. These unethical entities are doing patient brokering, illegal drug testing, enticing to use, and shuffling patients from one center to another to name a few. Florida is setting the precedence with the legislative steps that they are aggressively getting passed.
The Sober Homes Task force is the most powerful force fighting patient brokering. Florida State Attorney Dave Aronberg, Head ofSober Homes Task Force and his large collection of law enforcement have closed many unethical operators and made many arrests fighting for and enforcing patient brokering laws. They are relying upon many to report any unethical activity with sober homes.
The corruption and unethical practices are widespread, and nationwide. They are not just isolated to sober livings West Palm Beach. These unethical entities are doing patient brokering, illegal drug testing, enticing to use, and shuffling patients from one center to another to name a few. However, Florida is setting the precedence with the laws that were put into place July 1, 2017.
We educate the addiction and behavioral health industry CEO’s, executives and marketing professionals at our Addiction Executive Thought Leader Conferences in (Riviera Beach, FL). This is a talk show host/town hall forum. Our industry panelists discuss the industry laws (including administrative and patient brokering) that are now in place, ethical business and marketing practices, what the future landscape is for centers and Sober Homes and the business of addiction treatment in general. Our next event is on June 26, 2018 and features topics including; ethical marketing strategies, aftercare, billing and collections.
When you decide to get clean and sober you need to have the best possible level of care in treatment and in a sober living. You are setting up the foundation for your life long journey of sobriety. When you first decide to start your recovery journey, you are scared, confused, and over-whelmed. You must have the confidence that your treatment and sober living choices give you the necessary tools, highest quality of treatment, and assists in your recovery process.
Once you are in treatment at a well-qualified center that fits your individual needs, you will be basically inside a bubble and exposed to that facilities best options for your treatment plan. While you are in treatment you need to start planning for your second phase which is sober living.
Again, the choices will be over-whelming and some treatment centers will bait you with ‘FREE Rent” (this is illegal), or force you to a facility they recommend. If that facility is shady it is usually owned by the treatment center as a LLC, or DBA, or receiving a kick back from the sober living facility. This is considered patient brokering and is illegal.
Finding the Right Sober Livings West Palm Beach, Florida
Sober living facilities are needed to provide a supporting and pro-active healthy transition, allowing you to leave the safety of rehab and enter a less-restrictive living environment while maintaining a focus on recovery. Residents enjoy a less structured atmosphere while developing the tools and skills to sustain sobriety in the “real world.”
While there are many sober living facilities in Florida, especially sober livings West Palm Beach, you need to make sure the home you choose offers the highest level of care, qualities, and features that support recovery. You should never commit to living at a sober living home without visiting and talking with the owners and residents.
Top 5 Criteria Sober Living West Palm Beach
#1 FARR Certified Residence
Picking a FARR certified residence is one of the best possible choices because they are regulated with the highest standards currently available. They are focused on sober livings West Palm Beach, Florida. This is a critical decision that affects your recovery. You are faced with an overwhelming amount of decisions each day; many affect your sobriety. You need to know the sober living has a proven structure to assist and support recovery. That’s why it’s so important to find a sober living home that implements a higher level of care. It should also implement rules and regulations, such as mandated curfews and a zero-tolerance drug-free environment.
#2 Safety
Being in a safe environment is an absolute necessity. Look for things like; 24/7 staff, if the entire staff is trained in CPR, do they have an emergency kit in case of an overdose, and a protocol for emergencies. What steps and measures do they have to absolutely make sure there are no drugs or alcohol on the premises? Is there a zero tolerance for possession and use of alcohol and drugs? Check out and speak to the people currently living in a sober living facility. Ask them about the technology and safety measures used by the facility.
#3 Connecting Atmosphere
The camaraderie, atmosphere, mood, energy, and vibe at the sober living house with its current residents are very important. During your tour ask to speak with the current residents, they will be valuable in your decision to pick the right place for you. What types of activities are there to help you develop new skills; assistance with job search, life skills, better eating habits, health and fitness. Make sure you feel a positive vibe; your gut will tell you if it is the right place for you.
#4 Supports and Assists Recovery
A solid support system is crucial for anyone in recovery. 12 step recovery is not for everyone, however the sober living should have other actions on and off the property in place like; relapse prevention, AA, NA, and counseling to assist you in recovery. When evaluating a sober living support team, it’s important to find a staff that truly cares about you and your success…but you also want a staff that’s unafraid to enforce necessary rules and regulations.
Everyone’s recovery path is different and at proceeds at different paces, however individualized recovery plans are essential for staying sober. The employees should be professional, and be there to keep you on the road to recovery. They should be encouraging 12 steps, AA, NA meetings or a support system that fosters sobriety. There should also be some sort of drug testing policy in effect.
#5 Take Responsibility; Own It
Remember, you must own your sobriety. That means that you may not always like following rules and regulations like a curfew, structured events, meetings, etc. You must be willing to do the difficult things to maintain sobriety. The sober living home should challenge you to be able to make that step to be fully functional on your own.
You can be confident that if the sober living is certified by FARR that the above are addressed completely by the sober living facility.
For many people, the most difficult aspect of an addiction recovery program is remaining clean and sober after the inpatient program ends. In fact, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 40 to 60 percent of drug addicts revert to drug abuse after rehab. For some drugs, the statistics are even more grim, with relapse rates for drugs such as opiates approaching 85 percent in some studies. The reasons for this vary, but the most common factor is a lack of preparation for the outside world. Recovering addicts are caught off guard by triggers from which they were protected during treatment, such as drug-abusing friends, old party hangouts, and the stress of everyday life.
Be Careful When Searching Sober Livings West Palm Beach, FL on the Web

Addiction treatment marketers are feeling the heat from the national spotlight on West Palm Beach, Florida. However, the issues are nationwide and will continue unless we have industry regulation. Florida is the national leader on industry regulation by providing a formula that many other states will adopt with the exceptional legislative work that is being done here.
Addiction treatment marketers must be aware that the Sober Living Task Force has demonstrated Florida is serious about cleaning up the addiction treatment industry. Dave Aronberg (Florida State Attorney) Head of Sober Homes Task Force, and his army have raided many sober homes, treatment centers, and labs with many more to come. They have made it abundantly clear that if you are patient brokering, endangering lives, and operating outside of the law you will be in serious trouble with legal issues and possible jail time.
Addiction Treatment Marketers and Patient Brokering with the Florida Shuffle
Many addiction treatment marketers are well aware of the laws coming. Mr. Aronberg and his army are putting legislation in place (House Bill 807) to protect and save lives from patient brokering and bring regulation to the Wild, Wild, West. Everyone in the addiction treatment industry needs to know and clearly understand the changes in the law that are coming soon. These changes will drastically affect the current marketing and administrative practices of treatment centers and sober livings.
While some green “marketers” are still unaware of the current law, 2017 Florida Statute Chapter 817 Fraudulent Practices or in common language “patient brokering” (stricter laws and regulation in House Bill 807), that they are patient brokering, the press and social media exposure have made it difficult to have any compassion for anyone (patient brokers, or recovery advocates) who is in the gray area regardless if they are new to the industry.
The vast national “black market” of illegal addiction treatment marketers that have been abusing vulnerable and desperate individuals seeking treatment are being watched and investigated. These new laws affect many “patient brokers” and “recovery advocates” nationwide with the new Florida laws because many are tied into the treatment centers and sober livings in Florida that are getting busted. The new “Florida Model” laws will certainly be adopted nationwide especially in CA, TX, NY, and AZ to name a few. However, this is also going to affect the addiction treatment centers West Palm Beach.
It is paramount for West Palm Beach CEO’s, Owners, Directors, and Outreach to understand the new drug rehab marketing landscape and adopt ethical marketing and operating practices. Many in our industry have their opinions of what is ethical from second-hand information. This new era will ensure much-needed regulation, ensure everyone will understand the new laws, and generate true professionals in our industry that are qualified to make assessments for treatment and be labeled “professionals”.
Addiction Conferences Educate against Bad Addiction Treatment Marketers
We provided first-hand information, and clarity from the driving force on these changes, why these changes are being made, and what’s in the near future at our addiction conferences. in Riveria Beach, FL. This event featured Al Johnson, Asst. Florida State Attorney, Head of Sober Living Task Force, PBSO Detective, PBCSAC, and more Executive Thought Leaders. The addiction conference had an interactive audience of 200, in a talk show host/town hall forum. It educated on what is coming in the near future and how to survive the major changes coming.
Now is the time to get involved with the Sober Homes Task Force, Heroin Task Force, Palm Beach County Substance Awareness Coalition. These organizations are re-molding our industry and weeding out corruption and removing dangerous disruption. You may also be interested in joining 16,000 of your ethical peers, and individuals seeking help in the Addiction Professional Referral Group. This is an extremely active and highly monitored group providing assistance for professionals to place their clients. This group has protocols in place against patient brokers (2,000 individuals banned in the last 10 months), and is self-regulated by all its members.
Hep C Testing Fort Lauderdale options are now available at no cost for drug rehabs in south Florida. In this article you will get contact information on a resource to provide this service for FREE to your addiction treatment center clients. If you are an individual, you can also use the contact in this article to get FREE and low co-pay (usually $5) medication. This is great news considering that 60% Intravenous drug users have Hep C. Many people suffering from drug abuse have thought, “I think I’ve got Hep. C”.
According to NIDA (National Institute on Drug Abuse), 2.7–3.9 million people are living with HCV in the United States. Amazingly, deaths from hepatitis C now EXCEED deaths from the HIV/AIDS virus! This is increasingly common incidence of this disease and its impacting on my patient population as well as the recovery community. We are educating the entire community by discussing symptoms, transmission, diagnosis, and treatment of the hepatitis C virus.
Hep C Testing Fort Lauderdale Explains the Disease and Treatment
Hepatitis C is a viral liver disease, currently the most common blood borne infection in the United States. That is why the Hep C Testing Fort Lauderdale FREE option was started. It is much more contagious and transmissible than other similar infectious agents. Hepatitis C infection can be either acute or chronic. Acute hepatitis C is oftentimes without symptoms and patients progress to chronic infection completely unaware of their exposure to the virus. Therefore, so many patients are surprised when they test positive. Less commonly, symptoms of acute infection may include;
Jaundice
abdominal pain
nausea
vomiting
impressively elevated liver function tests on blood work
After acute exposure to the hepatitis C virus, approximately 75-85% of patients go on to become chronically infected with the virus, and these are the patients for whom treatment is considered. The need for hep c testing Fort Lauderdale is extensive. In face, West Palm Beach and Miami also have underserved this population.
Detecting Hep C in Addiction Treatment
Hep C Testing Fort Lauderdale is greatly needed. Hepatitis C is extremely contagious and spreads primarily through blood exposure. This includes our patients who suffer from the disease of addiction and who share needles, spoons, cotton, water, or any other injection equipment. It also includes, those who share other drug paraphernalia such as snorting straws, with a person who has hepatitis C. Sexual transmission is also possible but thought to be unusual.
There are a lot of opiate detox West Palm Beach options out there. However, almost all of them do not check for hepatitis C. That is why the Tampa Family Pharmacy wanted to get the 340b grant that pays for the testing and medications. While they provide hep c testing Fort Lauderdale options, they also cover all of south Florida. The importance of diagnosing and treating chronic hepatitis C is to hopefully avoid the two most important risks of the disease; cirrhosis/liver failure, and liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma). The diagnosis of hepatitis C is made from bloodwork performed on a patient.
Screening bloodwork to test for hepatitis C detects the body’s immune system’s response to the virus. It is the antibody that is first detected when somebody “tests positive” for hepatitis C. The test will confirm the fact that the patient’s body has “seen” the virus at some point in the past.
Hep C Treatment and Testing
Hep C testing Fort Lauderdale program explains the treatment process.
The next step in the hep c testing Fort Lauderdale program is to perform a hepatitis C viral load and genotype test. A positive viral load confirms the actual presence of hepatitis C virus in the patient’s blood. This quantifies how much virus is present. While the genotype tells us what type of hepatitis C infection we are dealing with (six main types), and this is important for determining the most effective treatment regimen.
It is important to note that most patients whose immune systems naturally “clear” the acute hepatitis C viral infection on their own (15 and 25% of patients) do so within the first six months of infection. Therefore, physicians will monitor viral loads at six months following first detection to give patients a chance to clear the infection on their own. If at six months there is still a positive viral load (active infection), treatment is considered. Again, approximately 75-85% of people will go on to develop chronic infection and will need to consider treatment. If you are a drug rehab you need to get this hep C testing Fort Lauderdale program now before the grant runs out.
Drug rehabs in Fort Lauderdale can now provide free testing including no and low-cost medications for their clients. A leading Florida pharmacy specializing in Hep C, STD, and HIV treatment. can provide free or low cost treatment for HEP C, HIV and STD’s. This includes testing and medications. They seek to remove all barriers to care for patients with any STDs. Now they are focused on partnering with south Florida drug and alcohol addiction treatment centers to help this underserved population. Their Hep C Fort Lauderdale Treatment includes some of the following items.
Complete follow through on the guidelines for acceptance with all STD medications
Help finding the right local grants to drastically reduce or eliminate copays on medications.
Complete training for drug rehabs Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Miami on the labs that are required to get free or low copay medications.

medication for STD’s
This is great news for drug rehabs because they can provide this much needed underserved population this service for FREE. Again, this program started with hep c testing Fort Lauderdale and now is available to all drug rehabs in South Florida. It also means they will no longer be putting their entire population at risk. This is because most addiction treatment and rehabilitation centers have a large population of heroin users. It should be standard protocol to test every client for Hep C. Especially since the insurance companies will pay for this service.

Debunking Hep C Treatment is Expensive
The Hep C testing Fort Lauderdale and treatment program has destroyed the notion that Hep C treatment is expensive. The 340b grant program has opened free and low co-pay (usually $5) for hepatitis C treatment. New medications now have a success rate of 99%.
To date there are several newer oral medications with remarkable success rates. The medication used depends on the evaluation of the infection for each individual.
