Florida's largest park, the Oleta River State Park, is also located in North Miami. In 1933, North Miami elected two women join the Town Council, making it one of the first places in America to elect women into an office of government.

But even with all these amazing things, North Miami falls victim to the same tragedy that strikes many cities across the world, large and small: Addiction.

Drug abuse in Florida has reached staggeringly high levels, but there is good news. North Miami has several excellent rehabilitation and detoxification facilities ready and able to help you and your loved ones with substance abuse issues. These facilities, staffed with expert care physicians, can and will help you to detox from any drug, prescription or illegal.

Drug counseling in North Miami is available to both visiting and residential citizens in multiple forms. So if you don't mind some travel, North Miami is a phenomenal place to start your new life. There are also fellowships such as NA and AA who can help by giving you or your loved one's others who are struggling with addiction to talk to and confide in.

This is not a battle that can be won through sheer force of will, nor can it be fought alone. Take comfort in the companionship of others who are going through the same process and withdrawals as you.

We know it can be difficult to convince a loved one that they need help, or even that they have a problem to begin with.

We advise using an Intervention Specialist; someone who can help you pick the right kind of Intervention and to make sure the event stays on track so that nobody gets too riled up. These people are here to help you, and so is North Miami. Get help today.

One of the greatest tools of aftercare is fellowship. When you have other people in your corner cheering you on during times of weakness and times of strength, it can help propel you to greater heights than you ever imagined. You can't fight addiction alone. Fin a meeting today, gather your troops.
