What Are the Consequences of Alcohol Abuse and Drug Addiction?

In addition to the dangers of the drugs themselves - brain damage, possible overdose, becoming irresponsible, disassociating from parents, friends and other family members, physical debilitation that could last for life - there is also the risk of further ruining one's life by being arrested and going to prison.


  • About 30% of prisoners in New Jersey were incarcerated because of cocaine or crack cocaine.
  • One in five went to prison because of heroin.
  • In fact, 30% of all prisoners in New Jersey are there because of drugs. There were also many other crimes committed that were drug-related, but for 30% their only crime was drugs.

In Essex County, New Jersey, drug rehab is delivered through drug court. But only a handful get into an alcohol or drug addiction treatment program through the courts. Many drug rehab programs done through drug court only graduate 30 or so people a year. That's not anywhere near enough when you consider there are 8,000 prisoners there directly because of drugs, and thousands more for crimes that were drug-related.

Don't wait for your loved one to go to prison. Get them help now.

Prescription Drug Addiction In New Jersey

Using prescription drugs without a prescription has become epidemic in every area of the U.S. and with every age group.

The most common problems are with OxyContin addiction and addiction to other painkillers, addiction to benzodiazepines like Xanax, Librium, Klonopin and Valium.

New Jersey drug rehab centers also see a lot of people addicted to Fentanyl - an opiate that's 100 times more potent than morphine.

Kids often start taking these drugs when they get them from their parents' medicine cabinets. A bunch of kids raid the home medicine cabinets and take them to parties where everyone can take whatever pills they want. They usually don't know what they are or what they do. And they don't just take one - they could combine several of them at one time.

Others get addicted to prescription drugs when they're given them by their doctor for an illness, injury or surgery. When they no longer need them, they can't stop taking them. They wind up getting the pills from illegal sources.

No matter what your problem is - alcohol abuse, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, club drugs like Ecstasy, OxyContin addiction or addiction to other prescription drugs, we can help you find the help you need in a New Jersey Essex County drug rehab facility.
