SAN DIEGO, Feb. 28, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Camden, New Jersey area now has a new fully localized source for helping those actively seeking recovery from addiction, thanks to The Recover. The news media site has added another page to their extensive national directory to assist those in the north eastern area of the state who have been impacted by the nation’s overwhelming heroin epidemic. The New Jersey treatment centers page lists the local facts about Camden, including the death rate due to heroin overdoses that is much higher than the state average, showing Camden’s need for more treatment options to it’s citizens.
The city ranks high in homicides at 2 per 100 people, with the national average much lower at .37 per 100 people. The Camden area’s relation to the Philadelphia area has lead to higher criminal activity due to drug trafficking and an overwhelmed police force. And in 2015, Camden was ranked America’s most dangerous city, even above Detroit and Chicago.
The state of New Jersey has become a major channel for drug trafficking and the need for treatment is in urgency. In the past 3 years, most rehab submissions have had nearly half of their patients come in due to heroin and other opiate related addictions. Young white men are the most effected, from the ages of 24-44 and are either unemployed or out of the workforce at the time of admission. These men are in need of recovery to help put their lives back on track.
The page describes the steps when walking into treatment, from Intake to Sober living, and what one might expect when starting their life anew. There are several type of options for therapy, and each can be very different. Within the page there are options for treatment, including rehabs that allow couples and even rehabs that allow pets.
