Maybe there are more drug treatment facilities in Florida and California than many other states, partly because there is more drug and alcohol addiction in Florida and California. Also important is the legal environment. Regulations governing reimbursement for alcohol treatment (and drug treatment) limits the ability of treatment centers to operate successfully in an specific geographic area. They may be less restrictive in the places where there are more treatment options (as a consequence). That said, many people choose to go to vacation spots like Florida, because life is easier there while they are working to get free of their addiction.
