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

Staff are able to relate on a very personal level with client needs and experience. Staff are very passionate about clients receiving the needed information and wanting clients to get well and stay well. Older premises in need of renovation. A real gym/fitness area is sorely needed as well as a participatory music program and a library. Also, there should be a central, neutral area where men and women may talk especially to discuss the impact of some of the lessons. It is not a natural situation to be a bi-gender facility with NO communication. Staff observation and redirection as required may be appropriate. I feel that everyone was treated with respect even though some of the clients did "push the ticket ". Again, I feel that the staff, professional or other express a personal interest in clients welfare and health. I have difficulty imagining anyone getting more personal treatment, anywhere.
Ambrosia saved my life I cannot day enough good things about it. I have been to many treatments centers and this was by far the best place I have ever been to. They really care.
I was hesitant to come to rehab. This past 30 days has turned my life around 100%. I could not have done it without Endeavor House, the staff, and fellow residents.
