To find out if there are any drug rehab treatment or counseling facilities serving people in Paterson, New Jersey that are suitable for your needs, please call 1-888-966-3784.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of different types of alcohol addiction and drug detox and rehab programs. When choosing a drug rehab center for yourself or a loved one in need, it is important to become educated on the different types and what the end results are.

Types of drug rehab programs include detoxification, outpatient counseling, short-term inpatient treatment (30-day program) and long-term residential treatment (longer than 60 days). Within these there are also medical models that use substitute drugs in the treatment process and there are drug-free programs that do not prescribe more drugs to addicts. Most drug rehab centers have some type of aftercare or follow-up program as well.

On average for the country, approximately 90% of addicts go through outpatient treatment services instead of entering a residential rehabilitation program. (Source: SAMHSA) Longer-term residential treatment is overall more effective and a drug-free rehabilitation approach is better in the long run for the addict.

Detoxification is only the first step on the road of addiction treatment. Most rehab centers consider detoxification to be when the addict is no longer under the influence of the drug, but this is actually only withdrawal.

At the Narconon Drug Detox and Rehab Program we have a very unique and effective detox procedure that actually rids the body of the old drug residues, which in turn eliminates physical cravings for the drugs and allows a person to feel much healthier mentally and physically. This is called the Narconon New Life Detoxification Program and is part of the Narconon Drug Detox and Rehab Program's long-term residential treatment.

To make a successful recovery, the addict needs new tools in order to deal with situations and problems that are part of everyday life. Factors such as encountering someone from their days of using, returning to the same environment and places, or even small things such as smells and objects trigger memories which can create a desire to use drugs again. This can hinder the addict's goal of complete recovery and prevent them from permanently regaining control of their life.

The Narconon Drug Detox and Rehab Program provides the life skills necessary to overcome these barriers and have a successful, permanent recovery so that former addicts can lead a healthy, productive and drug-free life.

The Narconon Drug Detox and Rehab Program has helped thousands of people from all over the United States and other countries overcome addiction. The results speak for themselves. Approximately 70% of Narconon program graduates remain drug-free.

New Jersey Drug Information provided by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration

Drug Situation: The state of New Jersey is situated between the major industrial markets of New York and Pennsylvania and has been referred to as the "crossroads of the east." It is also a gateway state, with major interstate highways, roadways, airports, seaports, and other infrastructures capable of accommodating voluminous amounts of passenger and cargo traffic not only from both the eastern and western parts of the United States, but from around the globe. New Jersey can therefore be considered an ideal strategic corridor as well as a vulnerable corridor for transportation of drug contraband and illicit currency. Over the past year, drug trafficking activity and drug prices in the Newark Division area of responsibility have remained relatively stable.

Cocaine: Cocaine HCl remains widely available throughout the state and is the drug of choice in most parts of the state. Distribution points are generally located on street corners in low-income areas in various cities. Cocaine is mainly sold in vials with colored tops or small zip lock bags. The movement of cocaine to the southeastern New Jersey area is usually accomplished via couriers from New York and Philadelphia.

Crack, which also remains widely available, is usually purchased as cocaine HCl from sources in New York and Philadelphia and cooked by local distributors. It is specifically seen in economically depressed areas of each southeast county in New Jersey.

According to intelligence gathered, there has been a slight rise in cocaine transportation through the Newark Liberty International Airport via small parcel companies by Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs). These DTO's use contacts at airports to bypass security and place cocaine-laden suitcases on planes.

Heroin: Heroin represents the most significant narcotic problem in New Jersey and accounts for more admissions to state treatment centers than cocaine, marijuana, and all other drugs combined. South American heroin remains readily available throughout New Jersey, continuing to sell at low prices and high purity levels. In the southern portion of the state, heroin is transported via car or bus from New York City and/or Philadelphia. Heroin is available in various forms, such as in glassine bags with brand names stamped on them, as well as pellet and brick forms. In several areas throughout the state, especially in the southern portion, a bundle of heroin now consists of 13 glassine bags instead of the traditional 10 glassine bags. Heroin purity in the Newark area continues to be among the highest in the nation. Heroin continues to originate from Colombia and is smuggled into the United States primarily by Colombian and Dominican organizations. Points of origin for the heroin are Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Honduras. Aruba, Curacao, St. Martin and Puerto Rico are utilized as transshipment points. Heroin traffickers are still using "swallowers" (couriers) to transport heroin into the United States. According to source information, these couriers typically fly from Colombia into the United States by way of Miami, Florida.

Methamphetamine: According to the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN), there were over 155 emergency department mentions associated with methamphetamine in the state of New Jersey. According to source information, methamphetamine is gaining in popularity in the Cherry Hill, New Jersey area because cocaine is scarce. Intelligence and source information continues to indicate that Filipino traffickers are importing large amounts of methamphetamine from Mexico and the Philippines. The methamphetamine is converted to "ice" in the Los Angeles, California area and then transported to the New York/New Jersey area via motor vehicle. Ice is also being shipped through various mail and parcel services.

Marijuana and Hashish: Marijuana is the most widely available and frequently abused illicit drug in the region. Marijuana continues to be shipped from various cities along the southwest border region via commercial air. Furthermore, the use of automobiles, tractor-trailers, vessels, U.S. Postal Service, overnight services, and parcel post continues to be utilized by DTO's. Most of the marijuana seizures in the state have occurred at Newark Liberty International Airport where passengers from southwest border states attempt to smuggle marijuana usually wrapped in cellophane and placed within luggage.

Diverted Pharmaceutical Drugs: New Jersey has one of the highest concentrations of both pharmaceutical and chemical firms in the country. Doctor shopping, employee theft, and/or fraudulent phone-in prescriptions remain a source of diversion throughout the state. In the southern part of the state, intelligence and source information has noticed some questionable prescribing by doctors in their jurisdiction that seem to be contributing to diversion of OxyContin, Percocet, hydrocodone and Xanax products via indiscriminate prescribing and/or sale of prescriptions to known drug abusers. Intelligence has also revealed an emerging trend that indicates that prescription rings based in Philadelphia, PA are traveling to pharmacies in southern New Jersey to have prescriptions filled.

DEA Mobile Enforcement Teams: This cooperative program with state and local law enforcement counterparts was conceived in 1995 in response to the overwhelming problem of drug-related violent crime in towns and cities across the nation. Since the inception of the MET Program, a total of 436 deployments have been completed nationwide, resulting in 18,318 arrests. There have been 16 MET deployments in the state of New Jersey since the inception of the program, in Asbury Park, Camden, Paterson, Atlantic City, Lakewood, Passaic, Plainfield, Pleasantville, Trenton, Long Branch, Jersey City, Newark (2), Elizabeth (2), and Perth Amboy.

DEA Regional Enforcement Teams: This program was designed to augment existing DEA division resources by targeting drug organizations operating in the United States where there is a lack of sufficient local drug law enforcement. This program was conceived in 1999 in response to the threat posed by drug trafficking organizations that have established networks of cells to conduct drug trafficking operations in smaller, non-traditional trafficking locations in the United States. As of January 31, 2005, there have been 27 deployments nationwide, and one deployment in the U.S. Virgin Islands, resulting in 671 arrests. There has been one RET deployment in the state of New Jersey since the inception of the program, in Camden.
