JourneyPure

Emerald Coast

JourneyPure Emerald Coast serves several cities along the Florida panhandle. Chief among these cities are:

Panama City

Destin

Pensacola

Tallahassee

Crestview

Niceville

As recent evidence shows, the locations served by JourneyPure Emerald Coast reflect much of what is happening in Florida and nationwide. The opioid epidemic has unfortunately reached into these sunny waterfront towns and small cities, ravaging both the senior population and the youth with their numbing, disorienting, and highly addictive side effects.

If you or someone you love is struggling with an addiction to opioids, alcohol, cocaine, methamphetamines, or any other addictive substance, we urge you to contact us at JourneyPure Emerald Coast today. Admissions coordinators are standing by.

Opioid Abuse in Bay County

In June 2017, several representatives from law enforcement joined health professionals at the Florida Department of Health in Bay County to discuss opioid abuse and how to solve the problem. It was here that Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford said the number of opioid overdose deaths in 2017 had already matched those of 2016.

Most of these overdose cases involved fentanyl, heroin, and carfentanil, a synthetic opioid that is up to 100 times more powerful than fentanyl.

In fact, the Florida Medical Examiners Commission reported in 2015 that opioids were either the cause or present in the deaths of 230 state residents. The following is the Florida Medical Examiners’ breakdown of overdose deaths:

  • Oxycodone: 34
  • Hydrocodone: 45
  • Methadone: 29
  • Morphine: 64
  • Fentanyl: 30
  • Heroin: 28

The Florida Medical Examiners report was released as Florida Governor Rick Scott and President Donald Trump labeled the opioid issue a public health crisis.

Prescription drugs killed more Floridians statewide than street drugs such as heroin in 2016. The number of Oxycodone-caused deaths represented an increase of 28 percent.

Also of note was the number of controlled substances prescribed statewide. Bay County and its surrounding counties were among the leaders in having the highest number of prescriptions in several drug categories.
