Brick, New Jersey is a township in Ocean County that ranked in the top five safest cities in the nation between 2000 and 2006. But even being safe in terms of violent crime didn’t keep citizens safe from the opioid epidemic. Brick was ranked sixth in the state for 550 reported incidents involving opioid abuse in 2012, and though this number did improve in the next few years, by 2017, the reported cases had only reduced to 438. The many methadone clinics in New Jersey are likewise needed here, and locals can find treatment for an addiction to heroin or other opioid drugs at a Brick methadone clinic. Heroin was once thought of as an inner-city drug taken by people living on the streets, but the truth is, today there are people in small towns and suburbs everywhere using this drug. Some of them even began by taking prescription pills and progressed to heroin because their tolerance became too high and heroin was cheaper and easier to obtain. Methadone is needed to overcome the domination of such a powerful physical addiction, especially when methadone is combined with counseling and therapy for a whole-person, long-term recovery.
