Hawthorne, New Jersey, has a serious problem with drug dependence and addiction, with heroin, alcohol, and cocaine being the most commonly abused substances there.
Roughly 42% of admissions to Hawthorne drug rehab centers are for heroin, while only 3% of admissions are for other opiates, like oxycodone and fentanyl.1 Many Hawthorne residents who suffer from heroin dependence may have used other opiates first, since nearly 80% of Americans who use heroin report misusing prescription painkillers before switching to heroin.2
Heroin and opioid painkiller withdrawal can be highly uncomfortable and unpleasant, but it isn’t typically life-threatening.3 Many opioid withdrawal symptoms can be relieved using medications such as clonidine, buprenorphine, and methadone.4 These medications may be used by rehab centers as part of your detox treatment.
Common opioid withdrawal symptoms include:4Â
Withdrawal symptoms for short-acting opioids, like, heroin may last between 4 and 10 days, while symptoms for long-acting opiates, like methadone, may last between 10 and 20 days.4 For up to 6 months following this acute opioid withdrawal phase, you may continue experiencing strong cravings for opioids that increase your risk for relapse.4 However, therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and relapse prevention training may be offered at rehab centers to help you stay sober in the long run.5

The Haven is the best place anyone could be under the difficult circumstances surrounding addiction. Every staff member was caring and respectful- they were the type of folks that made one want to get better. I wish I could give more that 5 stars.
I’ve been to 15 treatments by far this is the best one in New Jersey Pennsylvania area.
My husband spent 60 days at Footprints after many years of struggling with addiction. After a few days there, he called me and I could tell that he was already different, he sounded much more alert and cognitive. As the weeks progressed, he called daily and for the first time in our 26 years of marriage, we actually talked like a couple. My first phone call from Lindsay really gave me an insight into my husband\'s treatment and how everyone at Footprints provided him with the best support and therapy that he needed tremendously. I just could not believe the transformation and to hear my husband talk like he did when we first got married was the best gift ever! I just wanted to Dave and everyone at Footprints for returning a totally changed man back to his family, especially in 1 piece! We will be eternally grateful for all of the support and kind words that everyone wrote down for my husband when he returned, I read the letters and was very touched by every single word. And most of all, thank you for making us a believer in rehab and introducing us to help that our culture is very new to.
