Help For Addicts
Ed, I’m a woman responding to the addict who needs advice. I’ve been clean and sober for two years off of heroin. The best thing I did was to go to the welfare department and get on the Work First program, and then I went to a methadone clinic called Substance Abuse Initiative (SAI). I had no insurance, and they paid for my methadone for a year. I’ve been clean for two years.
Hi, Ed, I’d like to tell the addict seeking help that Catholic Charities at 10 Southard St. in Trenton has a great recovery program called Partners in Recovery. It’s the best program here in Trenton. They will help him through recovery, get him into rehab if it’s needed, and also help him get insurance, Medicaid. The phone number is (609) 396-4557.
Ed, this is for the heroin addict who needs advice. You need to get yourself into New Horizon Treatment Center, the methadone clinic on Perry Street in Trenton. You can also go to welfare, if you do not have a job, and qualify for Work First, which will help you pay for the methadone treatment, or they’ll help you get into rehab, whichever you decide to do.
Ed, I’m a former heroin addict, I’ve been clean for over three years. When I was using, I was in and out of rehab 11 times. The only thing that ever worked to finally get me clean was the New Horizon Treatment Center on Perry Street in Trenton. I was in treatment for three years. It’s a methadone maintenance program and involves group and individual counseling for just $70 a week. And there are options for people that need help making the payments. Good luck.
Ed, I’m responding to the person who needs help for a heroin addition and doesn’t have medical insurance. I strongly suggest that this person should call the New Hope Foundation in Marlboro (Monmouth County). They take anybody. You don’t need insurance. It’s a free 28-day inpatient program. They have a professional detox facility and a state-of-the art program in a brand new building. He can also call the AA Intergroup office in Bordentown to get a ride out there. So, he’ll get a free ride, a free bed and treatment.
Ed, this is for the addict who needs advice. If he gets welfare, he can use his Medicaid card to get on many methadone programs in New York City. If he stays on the program two years and gets himself down to 40 milligrams, there’s another drug that will help him become drug-free within a couple of months. I forget the drug’s name, but I’m sure his doctor will know. All the professionals I’ve spoken to recommend a minimum two years of methadone for it to work. Good luck to this young man or young woman.
Hi, Ed, this is Ron J. from New Horizon Treatment Service, speaking to the addict who needs advice. He could come to 132 Perry St. in Trenton. He could enter from the back on Allen Street and get all the help he needs for his heroin addiction. Just come to the trailer.Ready to Help
Hi, Ed, I’m responding to an addict who needs advice. There’s a place on Calhoun Street called the Rescue Mission of Trenton. If he or she goes there, talk to the person in charge, and I’m quite sure they will be glad to help. But this person has to be willing and able to receive that help. I should know because I am a grateful recovering addict.
