Cape Coral, FL is one of the largest cities between Tampa and Miami, with a population of over 179,795 in 2016. This city is prime real estate, as it is considered as a “Waterfront Wonderland.” Its serene and beautiful environment draws in many tourists and people looking for a place to call home.
One of the more unique features of Cape Coral is that it has over 400 miles of navigable waterway and canals.
This makes this “waterfront wonderland” susceptible to drug trafficking. Smugglers use the miles of canals to smuggle in all kinds of illicit drugs into Lee County. Heroin is one of the main drugs getting smuggled into this county. In fact, heroin overdoses have quadrupled here since 2015. Many residents who are addicted to heroin started off abusing prescription opioids.
Fortunately for those struggling with addiction in Cape Coral, there are plenty of addiction resources in this area. The addiction specialists at Lakeview Health can point you in the right direction if you give us a call at 904.677.5010.

Addiction profoundly impacts family and friends of those struggling with addiction as well. Family members often bear the brunt of the burden. They may feel like they have to put their lives on hold to help those struggling with drug or alcohol abuse.
Family support and therapy can help family members better understand the addiction and come to terms with the situation. Family members can learn how to approach those struggling with addiction in regards to their recovery. They can also learn how to make decisions that may be more beneficial to the family unit as a whole. Often, family members will develop a codependent relationship with the individual struggling with addiction. This is not healthy at all.
