New Jersey
Addiction Rehab
Information
Whether you're trying to
find a treatment program for
yourself, or for someone you
know, the choices can be
confusing. Would a long-term
drug rehab be necessary?
Would a drug treatment
facility far from home be a
better choice? Do all rehab
clinics provide detox
treatments? It can be
overwhelming sifting through
all the information which is
why we provide the services
we do. We can help
find a drug and/or alcohol
rehab program best suited
for your situation. Either fill out
the form to the right and
we'll contact you to answer
your questions or call us
for immediate assistance at
(877) 502-1065.
The state of New Jersey
provides several drug and
alcohol rehab programs for
adults and adolescents. With
so many choices, one would
think it wouldn't be too
difficult to select a
program, but you would be
wrong. There are just about
as many drug rehab treatment
philosophies as there are
drug and alcohol rehab
centers.
Some programs do not offer
drug detox programs and thus
refer out for this addiction
treatment service. Others
believe addiction is a
disease forever leaving the
addict in a problem
stripping them of their
freedom of choice to
overcome addiction and
sentencing them to a
lifetime of alcoholism or
being a drug addict and
thus, opening the door to
relapse.
Another aspect of selecting
a drug rehab treatment
program is whether the user
should attend a program
close to home or not.
Sometimes selecting a
program far from home is key
to success especially when
choosing long-term inpatient
treatment programs. This
provides a "trigger-free"
environment which distances
the individual from negative
reinforcements for their
addictive behavior.
Drug and Alcohol Rehab
Reference Center's staff is
experienced in matching drug
rehab needs with the proper
facility. Not every
New Jersey
drug rehab program meets
every individual's needs.

New Jersey Drug Use
Information
|
|
According
to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration),
heroin is the most prevalent drug of abuse in the
New Jersey area. Data provided by the State of New
Jersey Department of Human Services – Division on
Addiction Services disclosed that heroin is used by
18-25 year olds in New Jersey at more than twice the
national average. Heroin accounted for more than
22,751 treatment admissions in 2006. This was 41% of
all treatment admissions, with a three percent
decrease from 2005.
Cocaine remains the most popular drug in New Jersey
and is the drug of choice for many abusers within
the state. Crack remains readily available
throughout the state and remains the drug of choice
in many lower income communities.
Methamphetamine is the most available and widely
used clandestinely manufactured drug in the Southern
New Jersey area.
Marijuana is the most readily available illicit drug
in New Jersey. Marijuana is transported to the New
Jersey area via automobiles, tractor- trailers,
vessels, US Postal Service, overnight services,
parcel post, and commercial air from Southwest
Border States.
The majority of the marijuana encountered in the
state is of Mexican origin. Marijuana from Canada
and Jamaica has also been encountered, on a lesser
scale. Additionally, marijuana is produced locally
at indoor and outdoor grows.
New Jersey has the highest concentration of
pharmaceutical and chemical firms in the country.
Doctor shopping, prescription forgery, and organized
script rings remain the prevalent source of diverted
legitimate pharmaceutical drugs in the New Jersey
Division. Morris County has seen a rise in arrests
for prescription fraud and unlawful possession of
prescription medication. The most commonly abused
pharmaceuticals are Percocet, OxyContin, Xanax,
Vicodin/Vicodin ES, and Hydrocodone/Hydrocodone
products. Additionally, the most commonly abused
chemicals are GBL, Pseudoephedrine, and Ephedrine. |

 Drinking
heavily over a short period of time usually results
in a "hangover" - headache, nausea, shakiness, and
sometimes vomiting, beginning from 8 to 12 hours
later. A hangover is due partly to poisoning by
alcohol and other components of the drink, and
partly to the body's reaction to withdrawal from
alcohol. Furthermore,
People who
drink on a regular basis become tolerant to many of
the unpleasant effects of alcohol, and thus are able
to drink more before suffering these effects. |

Impaired Driving
|
|
 On
average someone is killed by a drunk
driver every 45 minutes. In 2008, an
estimated 11,773 people died in
drunk driving related crashes
according to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention adds that this means 32
people a day a killed due to drunk
driving.
-
Of the 216
child
passengers
ages 14 and
younger who
died in
alcohol-impaired
driving
crashes in
2008, about
half (99)
were riding
in the
vehicle with
the with the
alcohol-impaired
driver.1
-
In 2008,
over 1.4
million
drivers were
arrested for
driving
under the
influence of
alcohol or
narcotics.3
That's less
than one
percent of
the 159
million
self-reported
episodes of
alcohol-impaired
driving
among U.S.
adults each
year.4
-
Drugs other
than alcohol
(e.g.,
marijuana
and cocaine)
are involved
in about 18%
of motor
vehicle
driver
deaths. These
other drugs
are often
used in
combination
with
alcohol.
The Department of Transportation has
published two studies examining the
impact of marijuana on driving
performance. Marijuana - the most
widely abused illegal drug - slows a
driver's perception of time, space,
and distance. Research also
indicates that cocaine causes
drivers to speed, change lanes
without signaling and puts other
innocent people at risk of a deadly
accident.
Driving while under the influence is
clearly a problem for everyone.
People who drive while impaired are
a danger to themselves, their
passengers and to others on the road
(in vehicles or as pedestrians).
