There are many addictive drugs, and drug rehabs for specific drugs can differ. drug rehab also varies depending on the specific needs of the patient.

A drug rehab is a place or program that an individual enters in order to treat a drug or alcoholism addiction problem. Through therapy and education, Individual's are rehabilitated using various treatment methods which enable them to lead a productive and drug free life. There are many reasons why a person would need to attend a drug rehabilitation program. A few of the many reasons are: the inability to control their drinking or drug use, alienating their friends and family, legal problems, severe depression and general unhappiness due to excessive drug or alcohol use. There are many different types of drug rehab programs available: in patient, outpatient, residential, short-term, and long-term. The initial step of drug or alcohol addiction treatment is drug detoxification.

Drug detox includes medical supervision for drug addiction and alcoholism. drug detox is just one phase of the recovery process. drug detoxification is only the first step of drug rehabilitation which is done in order to overcome the physical withdrawal symptoms of drug addiction and alcoholism. A drug rehab program specifically tailored to the individual's specific needs is the next step in recovery.

Scientific research has shown that the length of time an individual participates in the addiction treatment process is a critical factor, Typical treatment duration includes: short-term treatment programs (28 days), Long-term treatment centers (6 months or longer). The length of time required to rehabilitate an individual is determined by the level and duration of drug or alcohol abuse. Individual's with a long history of chronic drug addiction or alcoholism, normally require a long-term drug rehab in order to increase the chances of a successful outcome. Individual's with a brief history may find success by entering a short-term treatment program or out patient drug counseling.

In addition to the duration of treatment, the type of drug rehab facility is an important factor as well. There are many different treatment modalities: therapeutic communities or residential treatment centers, Twelve Step, Drug Treatment, Sober Living, Drug Counseling, Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Therapy, Narconon, and many more. The importance of correctly Diagnosing the individual and selecting the appropriate type of treatment option should not be underestimated as this may be the difference between success and failure in the recovery process.

When choosing which type of drug rehab treatment modality is correct for an individual there are a number of factors to consider. Consider the duration and intensity of the individual's drug ar alcohol abuse and the potential behaviors connected with the abuser i.e. stealing, lying, violence, depression to name a few. Is the individual ready and willing to admit they have a problem and need help. If not an intervention can be done by family members with the assistance of an intervention specialist.

After care can be an essential component for chronic drug and alcohol abusers. It is an essential step in the recovery process of chronic drug and alcohol abusers and is often overlooked by many addiction treatment programs.

In general, the more treatment received, the greater the results. Drug and alcohol abusers who remain in treatment longer than 3 months typically have greater success than those who receive less treatment. Addicted individuals who undergo medically assisted drug or alcohol detox to minimize the discomfort of withdrawal symptoms but do not receive any further treatment, perform about the same in terms of their drug or alcohol use as those who are never treated at all. Over the last 25 years, studies have shown that drug rehab treatment is very effective in reducing or eliminating drug and alcohol intake. Researchers also have found that drug abusers who have been through a treatment program are more likely to have greater stability generally in all aspects of life i.e. family, work, accomplishing personal goals etc.

Drug Situation: The state of New Jersey 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.

Cocaine/Crack: Cocaine HCl 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. 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.

Heroin: Heroin 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 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.

Methamphetamine: 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. Intelligence and source information continues to indicate that Filipino traffickers are importing large amounts of Methamphetamine from Mexico and the Philippines. The Methamphetamine 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.

Diverted Pharmaceutical Drugs: 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.

Marijuana/Hashish: 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.

DEA Mobile Enforcement Teams: This cooperative program with state and local law enforcement counterparts was conceived in 1995 in response to the overwhelming problem of drug-related violent crime in towns and cities across the nation. Since the inception of the MET Program, a total of 436 deployments have been completed nationwide, resulting in 18,318 arrests. There have been 16 MET deployments in the state of New Jersey since the inception of the program, in Asbury Park, Camden, Paterson, Atlantic City, Lakewood, Passaic, Plainfield, Pleasantville, Trenton, Long Branch, Jersey City, Newark (2), Elizabeth (2), and Perth Amboy.

DEA Regional Enforcement Teams: This program was designed to augment existing DEA division resources by targeting drug organizations operating in the United States where there is a lack of sufficient local drug law enforcement. This program was conceived in 1999 in response to the threat posed by drug trafficking organizations that have established networks of cells to conduct drug trafficking operations in smaller, non-traditional trafficking locations in the United States. As of January 31, 2005, there have been 27 deployments nationwide, and one deployment in the U.S. Virgin Islands, resulting in 671 arrests. There has been one RET deployment in the state of New Jersey since the inception of the program, in Camden.
