Morristown, New Jersey, is strongly affected by drug and alcohol abuse, just as many other cities in the Garden State are as well.
Alcohol and heroin are among the most commonly abused substances in Morristown. Each substance accounts for 37% of treatment admissions to Morristown rehab centers, making up 74% of all admissions.1
Alcohol and heroin addiction can be safely and effectively treated using a combination of medications and behavioral therapies in order to treat the whole person. The medications can be taken for months, years, or a lifetime to help you or your loved remain abstinent.2
Benefits of using both medications and behavioral therapies include reducing the risk of overdose, alleviating cravings, reducing the risk of relapse, and more.2
Morristown alcohol rehab centers that utilize medications may use the FDA-approved medications, disulfiram and acamprosate, to treat alcohol use disorder. Disulfiram causes unpleasant side effects, like nausea, vomiting, and chest pain, when alcohol is consumed, while acamprosate helps reduce alcohol cravings to help you stay sober.2 Those who seek medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for heroin or prescription painkiller addiction at Morristown drug rehab centers may also be treated using methadone or buprenorphine—both of which suppress and reduce cravings for heroin and other opioids.2

my rehab here was polite respectful and comfortable.
Working for SOBA College Recovery has been an absolute delight. I have been able to excel in many areas I did not think possible for myself. The other staff here at College Recovery made this possible for me. My co-workers spend ample time building each other up and working as a team; setting beautiful examples for our clients here. To be able to help others in recovery find a new way of life is an opportunity that I am very thankful for. Our model is so much different than most current programs in this area. I see these young individuals actually grow into active members of society with the help of all of our clinical and housing staff. Whether it may be making their first resume or getting back into college (or going for the first time), talking with estranged family or regaining custody of their children, handling legal issues, finding new hobbies or career paths and simply stating clean in the process... All of these experiences can be difficult for someone young in recovery. We help these moments go as smoothly and as positively as possible. We see miracles happen first hand every day!
New Chapter was the biggest blessing during my recovery. The staff was amazing and truly helped me with their love and care!! In this place you will definitely feel loved, it’s not a regular treatment place. Ann truly went the extra mile to help me!!
