Drug Rehab New Jersey

Drug addiction in the state of New Jersey is steadily increasing, according to the latest government statistics. This is creating the need for quality New Jersey drug rehab programs in the state. A New Jersey drug rehab facility must meet the personal needs of the individual that is seeking treatment for their drug addiction. Once an individual is willing to seek drug rehabilitation, no time should be wasted in finding the right facility. The longer the decision takes, the more time the addict will have to change his mind about being admitted to the New Jersey drug rehab for their substance abuse problem. Each person is unique, and a quality New Jersey drug rehab center will take the time to assess the personal needs of the individual that is seeking treatment for their drug addiction. A drug addiction assessment should be taken during the initial consultation with a treatment counselor and as much information as possible should be given in order for the drug rehab center to develop an individualized treatment plan. There are plenty of different types of New Jersey drug rehab facilities including holistic, residential, outpatient, and long term, just to name a few. The basic treatment components of many drug rehab programs may vary, but the first step is drug detoxification.

In the detox portion of a New Jersey drug rehab program, an individual goes through a process of withdrawing off the drug(s) they have been abusing. An individual that is going through the detox process will inevitably experience the discomfort of withdrawal symptoms, but some of these symptoms can be alleviated with the professional level of care that is administered as a part of the drug rehab center. It is important to know that detox, by itself will not accomplish the goals of a comprehensive drug rehab program. After the detox is completed, an individual can focus on the various components of the New Jersey drug rehab program that will help them to master the tools that are necessary to reach their goal of being drug free. The New Jersey drug rehab will usually then begin to apply other components of treatment that may include, counseling, group classes, behavior modification techniques, and drug relapse prevention education. A quality New Jersey drug rehab program will also offer some form of aftercare to support the individual after they have graduated from the treatment program, and have returned home.

New Jersey Drug Information and Drug Trafficking

New Jersey drug information notes that this state is situated between the major industrial markets of New York and Pennsylvania and has been referred to as the "crossroads of the east." It is also a gateway state, with major interstate highways, roadways, airports, seaports, and other infrastructures capable of accommodating voluminous amounts of passenger and cargo traffic not only from both the eastern and western parts of the United States, but from around the globe. New Jersey can therefore be considered an ideal strategic corridor as well as a vulnerable corridor for transportation of drug contraband and illicit currency. Over the past year, drug trafficking activity and drug prices in the Newark Division area of responsibility have remained relatively stable.

Drug information in New Jersey shows that cocaine remains widely available throughout the state and is the drug of choice in most parts of the state. Distribution points are generally located on street corners in low-income areas in various cities. Cocaine is mainly sold in vials with colored tops or small zip lock bags. Drug trafficking sources in New Jersey show the movement of cocaine to the southeastern New Jersey area is usually accomplished via couriers from New York and Philadelphia.

Crack, which also remains widely available, is usually purchased as cocaine HCl from sources in New York and Philadelphia and cooked by local distributors. It is specifically seen in economically depressed areas of each southeast county in New Jersey.

According to intelligence gathered, there has been a slight rise in cocaine transportation through the Newark Liberty International Airport via small parcel companies by Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs). These DTO's use contacts at airports to bypass security and place cocaine-laden suitcases on planes.

New Jersey drug information on heroin shows that this drug represents the most significant narcotic problem in New Jersey and accounts for more admissions to state treatment centers than cocaine, marijuana, and all other drugs combined. South American heroin remains readily available throughout New Jersey, continuing to sell at low prices and high purity levels.

In the southern portion of the state, heroin is transported via car or bus from New York City and/or Philadelphia. Heroin is available in various forms, such as in glassine bags with brand names stamped on them, as well as pellet and brick forms. In several areas throughout the state, especially in the southern portion, a bundle of heroin now consists of 13 glassine bags instead of the traditional 10 glassine bags.

Heroin purity in the Newark area continues to be among the highest in the nation. Heroin continues to originate from Colombia and is smuggled into the United States primarily by Colombian and Dominican organizations. Points of origin for the heroin are Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and Honduras. Aruba, Curacao, St. Martin and Puerto Rico are utilized as transshipment points. Heroin drug traffickers are still using "swallowers" (couriers) to transport heroin into the United States. According to source information, these couriers typically fly from Colombia into the United States by way of Miami, Florida.

According to the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN), there were over 155 emergency department mentions associated with methamphetamine in the state of New Jersey. According to source information, methamphetamine is gaining in popularity in the Cherry Hill, New Jersey area because cocaine is scarce.

New Jersey drug intelligence and source information continues to indicate that Filipino traffickers are importing large amounts of methamphetamine from Mexico and the Philippines. The meth is converted to "ice" in the Los Angeles, California area and then transported to the New York/New Jersey area via motor vehicle. Ice is also being shipped through various mail and parcel services.

New Jersey has one of the highest concentrations of both pharmaceutical and chemical firms in the country. Doctor shopping, employee theft, and/or fraudulent phone-in prescriptions remain a source of diversion throughout the state. In the southern part of the state, intelligence and source information has noticed some questionable prescribing by doctors in their jurisdiction that seem to be contributing to diversion of OxyContin, Percocet, hydrocodone and Xanax products via indiscriminate prescribing and/or sale of prescriptions to known drug abusers. Intelligence has also revealed an emerging trend that indicates that prescription rings based in Philadelphia, PA are traveling to pharmacies in southern New Jersey to have prescriptions filled.

Drug information in New Jersey shows that marijuana is the most widely available and frequently abused illicit drug in the region. Marijuana continues to be shipped from various cities along the southwest border region via commercial air. Furthermore, the use of automobiles, tractor-trailers, vessels, U.S. Postal Service, overnight services, and parcel post continues to be utilized by DTO's. Most of the marijuana seizures in the state have occurred at Newark Liberty International Airport where passengers from southwest border states attempt to smuggle marijuana usually wrapped in cellophane and placed within luggage.
