(Photo by Joshua Rosenau) There were 98 participants in Sussex County Drug Court in 2012, eight of whom successfully graduated from the program. A recovering heroin addict, alias: "Tess," shows her hand. Tess started using the drug in her thirties. She entered residential rehab after two years of use. Access to residential rehabilitation is limited in Sussex County. This series marks a collaborative effort between Straus News and its sources, particularly reforming addicts.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (PRWEB) May 30, 2013 Recovery Associates, through its multiple therapeutic tracks, is starting to place an emphasis upon Ambien addiction treatment, helping men and women break away from using this sometimes potent drug. According to the National Coalition against Drug Abuse, Ambien is a brand name of the drug zolpidem.

Recovery Associates is a drug and alcohol treatment center that provides a variety of programs and services for men, women and teens struggling with chemical dependency issues. At the core of their philosophy is the belief that addiction is a … Continue reading →
