Black Balloon For Overdose Awareness Day, March 6th, 2016

People have gotten together and formed what they are calling "Black Balloon Day" on March 6th 2016.  They are asking anyone that has been effected by the heroin epidemic, people that have OD'd and died, to fly a black balloon in their remembrance.

It is nice to see that people are joining together in this country to fight this epidemic.  We can put all of our differences aside and join the fight in awareness and solutions to this horrible plague that is ripping people and families apart.

On Sunday March 6th fly a black balloon in front of your house.  If everyone that knows someone, or knows a family that's been through the horrible loss of a loved one from heroin addiction we should see more houses with these symbols up and down residential streets of America.

Heroin Treatment In Pennsylvania

The heroin epidemic has reached levels that we have never seen in the state of Pennsylvania. In the 1970s, heroin was also a major problem. To a degree it was confined to our big cities like Philadelphia and Pittsburg. People that used heroin then were mostly of the lower income bracket because if offered such a cheap avenue to get high. Our soldiers that were returning from Vietnam got addicted while they were in Asia and they came home having no idea how to fight it. There were not many heroin rehabs in Pennsylvania then. Many of the people who got addicted to heroin then were put on methadone programs. Those programs didn't work. We saw people who sold their methadone or just relapse back into heroin addiction. Today the heroin problem in PA is all over the place. It knows no difference between income levels, race, religion, or geography. Every day we are reading about overdoses. This is happening in the smallest towns to the largest cities. What we offer at Clearbrook is a way out of the life of addiction. We serve as a Pennsylvania heroin detox and rehab. We believe in the abstinance model of recovery. We will help you through the detox phase of recovery to make you as comfortable as possible. When you leave us, you will be completely chemical free and on the road to a life you could have never imagined in active addiction.
