Miami is known for its vibrant culture, access to beaches and nightlife, plentiful lifestyle amenities and a tendency toward decadence. While the fun-in-the-sun party culture attracts many tourists annually, living in the area can put people at greater risk of substance abuse disorders and mental health needs.
The Sunshine State, as a whole, reports fairly high drug use and overdose statistics. Drugs commonly associated with overdoses in the state include fentanyl, cocaine, benzos, methamphetamine and oxycodone.
If you’re caught up in an addiction cycle or struggling with other mental health challenges, you don’t have to face them alone. No matter what substances you’re struggling with, Miami mental health care resources are available to help.
