When someone is addicted to drugs, they may act irrationally and do things they wouldn’t normally do. This is especially true when they’re so dependent on a substance that they’ll do anything to get it, even if it means committing a crime.
In the state of New Jersey, 21,823 people were referred to rehab by the criminal justice system in 2016, with 43 percent of all admissions due to heroin use.1 More rehab treatment center admissions involved heroin than any other substance, with 858 rehab admissions due to dependence on the drug—even more than alcohol.1 While few would deny that use of illicit drugs like heroin is illegal, even the problematic use of otherwise legal substances like alcohol and prescription medications may take someone down a path of legal consequences at some point, which makes it all the more important to seek help for addiction as early as possible.
Asking for help sounds easy, but for some, it is one of the most difficult parts of treatment. Thankfully, by taking that first step and asking for help, you can make a positive change in your life and reduce the risk of negative consequences.
Thankfully, most insurance policies are required to cover treatment for addiction. This can make it much easier to take that first step in asking for help without worrying about how much it is going to cost.
There are a variety of rehab centers in Bridgeton or nearby areas that you can reach out to for help with addiction. Remember that each center is different, so if you don’t find one that fits your needs in Bridgeton or other parts of Cumberland County, you may find one nearby.

I was in the treatment facility almost two years ago. I completed and was doing great. Unfortunately I relapsed and was fortunate to get into the program again. Well I messed up and wasn't ready. So unfortunately for me I left. Now I am no longer allowed to seek treatment at Seabrook which is unfortunate for me. It's been almost two years. I would think I would have been forgiven. I'm a addict. But I reached out for help and was told no. I don't understand that. Isn't that what this facility is all about? Helping the addict work on getting clean. I'm killing myself and my mom. I'm lost with no help. I just want you to know I needed a chance and didn't think I would be banned because of a stupid decision on my part to leave. I just want you to know you could be a chance for someone to make it or die. Just wanted to let you know.
