We're #hiring a new Substance Abuse Counselor in Cliffside Park, New Jersey. Apply today or share this post with your network.

PSA The New Jersey Poison Control Center is aware of eight patients since November 11, 2024 reporting heroin use with clinical presentations consistent with medetomidine exposure. These patients have presented statewide, and all had bradycardia and sedation, with variable levels of respiratory depression. Among the patients who received naloxone, the response was mixed. Medetomidine is a veterinary sedative and an emerging adulterant in the unregulated opioid supply. It is not approved for human use. It has been detected in at least 18 states, the District of Columbia, and Canada. Informally, it has also been referred to as “rhino tranq” or “mede.” Potential patients will likely present after opioid use or overdose with sedation, bradycardia, and possibly respiratory depression, all of which will have minimal or no response to naloxone. Severely affected patients will require medical intervention, including monitoring or addressing airway and oxygenation status. For any questions or to report a possible exposure, please call the New Jersey Poison Center (1-800-222-1222).

Substance abuse is a deeply personal and often heart-wrenching struggle. It can feel like a relentless storm, tearing through every aspect of life, leaving pain and despair in its wake. The journey to overcome this battle is incredibly tough, demanding every ounce of strength and courage one can muster. But amidst the darkness, there is a beacon of hope. Counseling and therapy offer a lifeline, a path towards healing and recovery. In the safe, supportive embrace of a counselor, individuals can begin to unravel the tangled web of their addiction. They can confront the pain, the fear, and the guilt that often lie at the heart of substance abuse. Counseling provides more than just guidance; it offers a sanctuary where one can find: Unwavering Support: A counselor’s empathy and understanding can be a powerful source of comfort and strength. Insight and Clarity: Through therapy, individuals gain a deeper understanding of their addiction and learn effective strategies to manage it. Tailored Care: Each person’s journey is unique, and counselors create personalized plans that address specific needs and challenges. Resilience and Hope: Therapy helps build resilience, fostering the belief that recovery is possible and that a brighter future awaits. Recovery is not a straight path; it is filled with twists and turns, and setbacks are part of the process. But with the right support, it is possible to emerge from the shadows of addiction and step into the light of a new beginning. Seeking help is a courageous act, a testament to one’s strength and determination. If you or someone you love is battling substance abuse, know that you are not alone. There is hope, and with counseling, a new chapter of life, filled with healing and possibility, is within reach. 🌟 Reach out, take that first step, and embrace the journey towards recovery. You deserve a life of peace and fulfillment. -NJRC (201)383-6433

Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Let’s break the stigma and support each other on this journey. If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out.

Supporting those struggling with addiction requires a compassionate and multifaceted approach. Here are some ways we can make a difference: Listen Without Judgment: Sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is simply listen. Offering a non-judgmental ear can help individuals feel understood and less alone. Educate Yourself and Others: Understanding addiction as a complex disease rather than a moral failing can change the way we interact with those affected. Sharing this knowledge can help reduce stigma. Encourage Professional Help: Encourage loved ones to seek professional help, whether through therapy, counseling, or rehabilitation programs. Professional guidance is crucial for effective recovery. Offer Practical Support: Help with daily tasks, provide transportation to appointments, or assist in finding resources. Practical support can alleviate some of the burdens they face. Create a Supportive Environment: Foster a safe and supportive environment at home and within the community. This includes avoiding enabling behaviors and setting healthy boundaries. Promote Healthy Activities: Encourage involvement in activities that promote physical and mental well-being, such as exercise, hobbies, or support groups. Be Patient and Persistent: Recovery is a long and often non-linear process. Patience and ongoing support can make a significant difference in someone’s journey. By combining empathy, education, and practical support, we can help those struggling with addiction find their path to recovery and a healthier, more fulfilling life.
