Florida’s breathtaking beaches and warm climate mask a hidden struggle—one of the highest rates of substance use and mental health challenges in the nation. From opioid overdoses to untreated mental illnesses, the state faces a growing crisis that deeply affects families. The need for effective intervention and family recovery coaching has never been more urgent.

Florida has been a hotspot for opioid addiction, ranking among the top states for overdose deaths. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), synthetic opioids like fentanyl are driving these fatalities, with a significant spike in recent years. Additionally, Florida has a high prevalence of co-occurring mental health disorders, often left untreated due to gaps in mental health services. Families bear the emotional and financial toll, frequently finding themselves caught in cycles of enabling and crisis management.

Key Issues Facing Florida Families:

• Opioid Epidemic: Florida’s rate of opioid-related deaths is higher than the national average, largely fueled by fentanyl and prescription drug misuse. Many families struggle to navigate the available treatment options while their loved ones remain at high risk.
• Mental Health Care Gaps: With limited access to affordable mental health services, many individuals with conditions like depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder turn to substance use as a form of self-medication.
• Alcohol & Stimulant Use: In addition to opioids, Florida has seen rising cases of methamphetamine and cocaine use, particularly in urban areas like Miami, Tampa, and Orlando.
