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

I highly recommend Victory Bay Recovery Center for anyone suffering from addiction. The staff is amazing, they truly care about each client and making a difference. Victory Bay's model is different than anything in this area making the treatment experience unique. Knowing so many loved ones that have tried and failed the standard outpatient substance abuse treatment model, Victory Bay brings relief knowing that there is another option and it's right here in South Jersey! I think we will see big things from this recovery center in the future as they grow and continue to save lives!
