The problem with drug addiction in both Philadelphia and New Jersey is almost legendary due to its severity. Heroin and opioid-based prescription medication are two the top drugs abused in these areas. More than 4 percent of those surveyed in both the Philadelphia area and in New Jersey reported using pain relievers for nonmedical purposes in the past year. Of these, more than half were not receiving the treatment that they needed.

The Need for Opiate Detox in New Jersey
Over a one-year period, there were more than 3700 reported visits to emergency rooms in Newark that were based on heroin abuse and overdose, making it the number one cause of drug-related emergency room visits in the state. Narcotic analgesics, also known as opioid-based pain relievers, were responsible for another 1115 trips to the emergency room. Over a two-year period, the number of emergency room visits in Newark that were related in some way to the abuse of pain relievers more than doubled.
Of all the metropolitan areas surveyed, Newark ranked second in emergency room visits involving heroin and ninth for pain relievers. In fact, the number of heroin-related hospital visits in Newark is six times that of the national average and the rate of increase in pain reliever-related visits exceeds the 39 percent nationwide rate of increase by 14 percent.
The drugs of choice most often named in overdose and drug abuse cases? Methadone, oxycodone and oxycodone combination prescription medications.
The Need for Opiate Withdrawal Treatment in Philadelphia
The Philadelphia area fares no better than New Jersey when it comes to drug-related incidents in its emergency rooms. In a single year, there more than 4900 heroin-related visits, a number that is three times that of the national rate per 100,000 population. Just as popular are opiate prescription painkillers, especially OxyContin.
However, the lure of drugs is not specific to the Philadelphia area alone. The rural areas of Pennsylvania, too, are increasingly becoming a target of drug dealers. In these areas, the nonmedical use of prescription painkillers is already high but heroin use is on the rise. More and more cases of heroin addiction and overdose are being reported throughout the state.
