Fort Lee Inpatient Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers
Opioid abuse is a major health concern not only in Fort Lee but also across the United States. In fact, 42,000 people died in 2016 due to opioid overdose across the country, and 40% of those deaths were attributed to prescription opioids.1
In Bergen County, 40% of rehab admissions were due to abuse of heroin or prescription opioids.2 Prescription opioids are a class of drugs intended to treat moderate to severe pain, but they can be highly addicting, just like the illegal opioid, heroin.
Some of the most common prescription opioids include:3
- Hydrocodone (Vicodin).
- Oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet).
- Oxymorphone (Opana).
- Morphine.
- Codeine.
- Fentanyl.
Due to their addictive nature and widespread misuse, it is possible that you already know someone struggling with an opioid addiction. Signs that someone is misusing prescription opioids include:4,5
- Calling early for refills or reporting them lost or stolen.
- Seeking opioids from multiple sources.

The Pros and Cons of Holistic and Traditional Rehab FacilitiesThere are several notable differences between holistic and traditional rehab programs. Both programs have advantages and disadvantages and can be beneficial to different kinds of people.
- Variety. There are generally more kinds of traditional rehab programs and therefore, more variety for the individual to choose from when deciding on a facility.
- Sober living principles. Holistic treatment centers put a focus on treating the "whole self". Individuals are encouraged to eat healthily, exercise regularly and practice meditation - in addition to participating in traditional therapies - to manage their substance addiction.
- Payment. There is a possibility that a holistic drug addiction program might not be covered under an insurance plan, whereas traditional forms of treatment might be. If financing is a concern for you or your family, it would be beneficial to discuss any options you are considering with your insurance company and the facility in question.
- Inpatient programs require the individual to live at the facility while undergoing treatment.
- Outpatient recovery program programs allow individuals to live away from the facility while meeting regularly with counselors and medical professionals during the treatment process.
