Clearbrook- Remains An Option For New Jersey Drug Rehab

In today's world of the ever growing drug and alcohol problem, finding a New Jersey drug rehab can sometimes be an exhausting experience.  There are so many factors that go into making the decision on where to go.  Health insurance, location, and finding a treatment center that has an open bed most of the time top that list.

The large New Jersey cities such as Newark, Paterson, Trenton, and Atlantic City have too many people that are looking to get treatment but never do.  It is estimated that three out of four people in the state that seek treatment never get it.  Just last week The John Brooks Recovery Center in Atlantic City said they will close their doors in the spring.  This equates to the loss of over 100 beds in the state of New Jersey.  Losing this many beds for treatment has a huge impact on the people and their loved ones.  With a 100 bed facility that means that over 4000 admissions in a year will be lost.

This is where we would like to extend our hand to our neighbor.  Cleabrook Manor is a Pennsylvania drug and alcohol rehab that has been treating addiction for over 40 years.  Our campus is comprised of all brand new, state of the art facilities.  The program of abstinence from mind and mood altering substances is the model we follow.  Along with the accredited program Clearbrook has, one of our distinct advantages is our location.  Please click HERE if you are from New Jersey and are looking for treatment.  This will direct you to our page designed specifically for NJ residents.  We are within 3 hours of any city in NJ.  Clearbrook accepts all major insurances and funding sources.  Please call our admissions department at 800.582.6241 twenty four hours a day.

Spice & Bath Salt Detox/Rehab in Pennsylvania

Spice Abuse/ Bath Salt Abuse:

Spice, also known as synthetic marijuana has had exponential growth over the last five years.  When this drug was first introduced it was used for a variety of reasons apart from getting high.  The drug was not detectable on urine and blood screens.  That is why we have seen so many teenagers and young adults using it.  It even went and hit our military.  In the last two years the military has dismissed more than 2000 soldiers for the abuse of spice and bath salts.  Marijuana is a drug, it can and is harmful in the physical and mental sense.  The issue with the designer drugs is that no one really knows what chemical compound makes up the drug and its side effects are devastating.  There have been numerous accounts of people commiting suicide and homicide.  In Arizona a husband and wife we using bath salts.   The husband became so paranoid that he killed his child and wife and then himself.  The delusions and mental state of someone on these drugs is multiplied 10 times what their counter part drugs of pot and crystal meth do.  Poison control centers reported over 4000 cases last year for overdoses.  Below are some of the signs and symptoms of bath salt abuse and spice abuse.

  • Seizures and Tremors
  • Vomiting
  • Very High Blood Pressure
  • Severe Panic Attacks
  • Threatning Behavior
Although these are signs of most drug use, the one symtom that is almost magnified is the paranoia and hostile behavior.  If someone is exhibiting these signs you are going to need to find help. Clearbrook serves as a Pennsylvania drug rehab, New Jersey drug rehab, and New York drug rehab. Please call us at 1-800-582-6241 anytime.

Reflection on the Third Tradition

The Third Tradition of Alcoholics Anonymous states, “The only requirement for membership is a desire to stop drinking.” This tradition is especially important for the newcomer. Certain groups have certain requirements/criteria for example, sports teams, social groups, and so on. Some of us may have been members of different groups in our lives. Many of us have felt like we’re different and we don’t belong even if we were part of a team or a group.
A.A./N.A. is not like most groups. When we finally admit that we have a problem we feel scared, lonely, confused. The fellowship and the Third Tradition allow us to walk into the rooms, no strings attached and no judgment. Because you have a desire to stop drinking, you are accepted. We are welcomed into the 12-Step program because we have surrendered or at the very least desire that surrender that everyone talks about.
Maybe we went to drug/alcohol rehab and so the initial apprehensiveness isn’t as intense. If we didn’t go to treatment, the first time experience is a little more nerve-racking.
Yet when we walk through those doors and even though we are nervous, anxious, terrified and don’t really know what to expect, we see this group of people who are happy. They are comfortable. They are welcoming. They are free. There is a sense of family that emanates from everyone. Just by being there, we are a part of the group. For the first time in our lives, we truly belong.
“Tradition Three insured that we would get what we need—each other.” (A.A. Daily Reflections pg. 33)

A Formula For Treating The Chemically Dependent

A well-known, respected member of the recovery and treatment community has laid out this formula for treating the chemically dependent.

God: There is a God, it is NOT you!

Work: Work builds self-esteem and supports the other pillars of this new life.

Discipline: A "healthy" discipline builds character and routine provides stability.

Respect: For one's self and others is demonstrated in daily living.

Exercise: Helps burn off energy for those that are restless, irritable and discontent.

Diet: A healthy body, mind and spirit help to ensure continuing recovery.

Love: The family has to learn to love and detach at the same time.

Consequences: This is perhaps the hardest thing for parents to do, to let their children suffer the consequences derived from their behavior. Msgr. Dunn, former NYPD Chaplain referred to this process as, "induced therapeutic surrender".

Clearbrook Treatment Centers, a drug and alcohol treatment center in Pennsylvania, offers hope for the chemically dependent when all hope has been lost.

Drug Rehab Pennsylvania

Most individuals who suffer from the disease of addiction have made numerous attempts to stop the downward cycle that results from drug and alcohol abuse. For the vast majority that struggle with addiction, professional help through the means of therapist and certified addiction professionals is needed if there is going to be any chance of obtaining long-term, quality sobriety.

A life addicted to drugs or alcohol is often filled with chaos and drama. Inpatient drug rehab will provide its clients with the support and guidance that is pertinent during the very beginning stages of recovery from drugs and alcohol. During a client’s stay at an inpatient drug rehab, they will have the structure in their life that was missing during their active addiction. In order to overcome addiction it is essential to build a strong foundation. A quality inpatient rehab can make this happen. With the help of a professional staff, as well as his or her peers, an individual will learn the necessary actions needed in order to achieve long-term abstinence from drug and alcohol.

For those who have had failed attempts to stop their abuse of drugs and alcohol on their own or have had failed attempts at an outpatient rehab program, inpatient addiction treatment may be the ideal next step. Inpatient treatment will cater to the individual needs of each client as well as provide a safe environment that is isolated from the outside world.

Simply put, recovering from the disease of addiction is extremely difficult. Inpatient addiction treatment offers the round-the-clock support needed.

Clearbrook Treatment Centers-Pennsylvania Drug Rehab

Addiction treatment changes everything. Whoever you are, however hopeless you believe yourself to be, a private addiction treatment program can help you rediscover life as you used to know it, before your disease turned you into the person you are today. The catch, of course, is that you have to be willing to seek help from the professional caregivers at a private addiction treatment facility. Under the circumstances, it’s hard to imagine that the right choice could ever be more obvious.

Addiction is a disease. Like any disease, it can only be overcome with medical help. Addiction treatment will give you the strength you need to get sober on your own terms, in a way that will help you remember why you ever believed tomorrow to be a thing worth waking up for. All that remains, now, is for you to take the first step, by trusting your health to an exclusive addiction treatment clinic. With so much to lose, and so much more to win, you can’t afford not to act.

Clearbrook- Pennsylvania's Rehab Choice

Substance Abuse is a growing problem worldwide. With unsecure borders and ever growing drug cartels, the availability of drugs is greater than ever. However, with the help of addiction treatment many former addicts are able to go back to leading happy, successful lives. Although, one can’t help but wonder what would happen if such treatment was no longer available? What kind of strain would it put on the economy and society as a whole?
One obvious consequence of a world without addiction treatment is that there would be more drug addicts. More addicts would mean more money going to drug dealers and cartels, as well as funding terrorism. That would also mean there would be less money going to help to legitimate business and our communities. There would be less money going to schools for extracurricular activities or to keeping national parks open or improving roads. Not to mention increased wealth, could also mean an increase in power and control for those selling the drugs.
On a societal level, we would see a dramatic increase in drug related crime; more fights and deaths over drugs, as well as accidents caused by addicts driving under the influence. There would also be an increase in drug related deaths and suicides as the drugs slowly take control over people’s brains . We would also see a dramatic rise in health care costs as liabilities and health care costs associated with drug use go up. More people would either on the street or in state or privately run facilities once their bodies, and more specifically their brains, could no longer take the consistent drug use.
Without addiction treatment our country, even our world, could not handle the health implications much less the financial burden that such a situation would create. Substance abuse treatment is an important part of our global society; to help keep our communities in check and give deserving people a second chance.

Pennsylvania Drug Rehab- Clearbrook Treatment Centers

A common mistake made by many individuals and families seeking drug and alcohol rehabs for themselves or a loved one is believing that “rehab is rehab” and that the main differences are only in the cost, location and setting.

However, those are actually only of secondary importance compared to what type of treatments are offered and what rehabilitation philosophies are followed by the facilities.

For example, one major difference is whether the drug rehab centers believe that addiction is an incurable brain disease or if they can demonstrate that people can actually become permanently cured with no further relapse or symptoms of the addiction.

Another difference is if they prescribe drugs to patients or if they use healthier alternatives to address the symptoms often associated with addiction. Many medications given in treatment centers today either have heavy side effects or potentially cause relapse because of their abuse potential themselves. After all, prescription drug addiction is one of the biggest problems in America today.

So, before you choose a drug rehab program based on cost or location alone, call us to speak with someone who can go over all of your options so that you can make an educated decision.

What to Expect from Drug Rehabilitation

Drug Rehabilitation is actually a term used to describe a series of events and milestones in the recovery of alcohol and/or drug addiction. The very term can send shivers down the spines of drug addicts. They know that it is not just a matter of ridding the body of the effects of drugs, but learning to deal with life all over again. Although they may not understand every phase of rehabilitation, they realize it will be hard work.

Normally, some type of consultation is done before being admitted to rehabilitation. Of course, there are exceptions to that rule, but normally, the drug addict or a loved one has spoken to a counselor or drug addiction specialist. They should be highly congratulated and praised for their decision to become rehabilitated. It can be a very frightening concept to drug addicts. Even though their moods may darken during some of the phases of rehabilitation, support is always an added incentive for the addicts.

The first thing to expect from rehab is detoxification. It doesn’t matter if there is one addiction or perhaps a dual addiction, detoxification will be necessary. This is the process of ridding the body of the offending drug or drugs. This is done in a supportive and caring atmosphere where staff understands what the addict is going through. This process heals the physical side of drug addiction. However, since drug use affects people not only physically, but mentally and spiritually, these issues must be addressed as well.

After detoxification, rehabilitation takes the form of different types of therapy including individual and group therapy. This is important so the addicts can address their own issues, and yet see that there are others going through the same ordeal. It often helps to know you are not alone in these situations. The time length for this part of rehabilitation can vary, but it is not a slam dunk procedure. It takes time to work it all out. It can takes months of therapy just to begin to scratch the surface of the problem. The goal of rehabilitation is to help addicts to realize and accept their past behaviors and to learn how to form new behaviors.

There are some very frustrating times during rehabilitation but drug addicts must learn how to get through them without the use of drugs or alcohol. Drug Rehabilitation is the cornerstone to learning how to cope with stressful situations in the future. These frustrations are normal and expected by the rehabilitation staff. Addicts can and do make it successfully through rehab to go on to lead happy, healthy lives.
