VIDEO – FLORIDA, Where using is safer than rehab? –

Jan. 12, 2024 – People seeking treatment for addiction in Florida can find 3,000 programs from the Panhandle to the Keys. The newspaper followed a couple lost in the cycle of failed treatment that has come to be known nationally as “The Florida Shuffle.” On Jan. 9, state Sen. Gayle Harrell, R-Stuart, introduced a bill covering a range of substance use treatment reforms, including a provision that would require DCF to display license applications, inspections, complaints, investigative reports and findings. The Post investigation provided impetus for the Senate bill, Harrell said, which is part of her 15-year quest for quality, accountability and oversight of addiction treatment providers and the recovery residences to which they refer their clients.
