Alcohol and Drug Use Statistics in Perth Amboy, NJ

The opioid and substance use disorder crisis in the U.S. affects Perth Amboy and the rest of Middlesex County. The following statistics illustrate the extent of drug and alcohol misuse and overdose in Middlesex County and the Metropolitan substate region where Perth Amboy is location:2,3

Levels of Substance Abuse Care

Multiple levels of care are available for addiction treatment. Some New Jersey residents move through each of these levels of treatment, while others need only the least intensive care.

Alcohol and Drug Detoxification

Detox is completed under medical supervision in a hospital, inpatient, or outpatient setting. This is the process of safely and comfortably removing drugs or alcohol from your system. Once detox is complete, you can move forward with other treatment services.

Inpatient Drug and Alcohol Rehab

Inpatient rehab, also called residential treatment, involves living at a treatment facility to receive 24/7 care. Services usually include individual and group therapy, medication, recreational therapy, and nutritional counseling.

Partial hospitalization programs (PHPs)

PHPs allow New Jersey residents to live at home while receiving treatment through a hospital. This program usually provides the same treatment services as inpatient care, but you can return home during non-treatment hours.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs)

IOPs are a step down from PHPs, allowing you to attend a few hours of counseling each week while living at home. This provides time to maintain a work schedule or fulfill other obligations.

Standard Outpatient

Standard outpatient programs involve just one to two hours of treatment per week. This level of treatment involves the least supervision and is appropriate for highly motivated people who have a strong support system.

Aftercare

Also known as relapse prevention, aftercare starts once your rehab program is complete. It includes ongoing support such as 12-step programs, sober living homes, and therapy.
