Rich foliage, magnificently colorful marine life and a relaxing atmosphere capture the island, making it ripe for anyone seeking to just get away or make a fresh start.

Unfortunately, even the Key Islands of Florida, beautiful as they are, can fall prey to drug abuse. Whether illegal or prescription, drugs infect society wherever it gathers, and wherever a dealer can be found, but worry not, as it also houses many top notch rehabilitation centers. While there are some drugs that do not have a miserable detox process, many prescription drugs can have some pretty serious symptoms while going through withdrawal.

Do not feel the need to battle this alone, consider traveling to one of Largo's many spa-rehabilitation complexes. Help is just a phone call and a quick trip away. Detoxing from a drug is serious and should be taken seriously. If you or a loved one need help, attend a fellowship meeting like AA or NA to get you started.

How Do I Hold an Intervention?

Interventions can be tricky. Family can get upset with one another, the victim could get hyper-defensive and feel like their friends and family are ashamed, or out to get them. Use an intervention specialist to help coordinate, guide and progress a successful intervention.

People generally think a successful intervention is one where the loved one gets treatment, however, an intervention is successful if people effectively communicate their hurt and pain to the person abusing drugs. If anything, it can plant a seed.

Let Key Largo pull you up from the depths of addiction instead of sinking down and getting tangled in the seaweed.

When you leave treatment, your recovery isn't over. You will have to put a lot of work in to maintain your sobriety. Luckily, you are not alone. There are a lot of people who can help you with your sobriety who have been in similar places as you have. The best place to look for help from others is through 12-step programs. There, you can find other people in recovery who are working toward making their lives better. You can also find a sponsor who can act as a mentor for you in the process.
