Recovery CNT of New Jersey looks like a new, small drug rehab facility in Middlesex, New Jersey however, information we’ve acquired suggests that employees of this little addiction treatment center may be following the  “Anonymous Hackers Group” page on Facebook.

Recovery CNT not only has a problem remaining professional on the phone but apparently has a host of anonymous and fictitious Facebook accounts used for the purpose of creating fake 5 out of 5 ratings/reviews on their Facebook page and threatening anyone who tells the truth about their unprofessional practices.

UPDATE: we received a message from Anonymous Hackers Group who has stated that CNT Recovery has no affiliation with their organization.  Thus, we can only assume based on the information that we have that “Bana Anymous” is simply a follower of their Facebook page with no formal affiliation.  The article has been updated to reflect the new information.

Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous, Not an Authoritative Source of Literature for Addiction & Recovery

It’s hard to believe how much division still exists today in the online recovery community, all over Suboxone and Methadone.  Frankly, even mentioning both medicine assisted treatments typically prepares a multitude of recovering addicts to “fight or flight”.  Why?  Even if Suboxone and Methadone aren’t your personal choices for treating your opiate or heroin addiction, to this day, there are still so many people who spend their time criticizing and shaming recovering addicts on Suboxone and Methadone.  And many of the anti-MAT rhetoric nonsense comes from 12 steppers in Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

Now I want to be clear upfront.  Overall, I think AA and NA are great and the program has helped a number of addicts find and stay in long, lasting recovery.  That said, someone, somewhere, or maybe a group of like-minded hateful individuals have caused many in the program to believe that AA or NA …

Everyone who knows me knows how transparent I am. Not only do I write original content and share my own personal story through writing and on video, but I am very transparent in how we recommend only the best addiction treatment centers and drug rehab facilities. But given how popular we’ve become, people are talking. Others who “help” people get into addiction treatment have taken notice. The more ethical people, the ones who bend over backwards to help people get treatment love us and what we do. But there are a few others who are concerned and they don’t like us.  And they can’t say anything about it because what we are doing is 100% in the best interest of the patient.  These certain individuals and organizations that I am referring to, not so much.

Drug Addicts Aren’t The Only Predators Out There

Drug dealers do capitalize and make a …

Social Media is an awesome tool but recently I found a whole drug world hidden in plain sight. Tumblr is a popular social media franchise with teens and young adults. I was looking for some new platforms to spread awareness about the heroin epidemic, so I joined Tumblr. The first thing I did was search the word heroin, and Oh My God!!

Tumblr Has Become a Playground for Children Who Use Drugs

Parents, if you have middle school or high school kids in your home, you need to read this! Tumblr is a scary place. No joke, check it out for yourself. There are profiles and profiles dedicated to promoting heroin and drug use. We are not talking about smoking some pot either. These kids are posting pictures of themselves shooting up heroin, cocaine and flaunting any and all drugs on their profiles as though it were something to celebrate. They …

Warning! Avoid Scams at Local Drug Rehab Facilities in Florida – Our Recommendations

Are you considering addiction treatment? Be careful. Residential treatment is great. But the experience, skill and compassion of staff members that work for each drug rehab facility varies. Regrettably, many men and women looking for help and treatment have been treated horribly at some less than reputable residential addiction treatment centers. And if you live in Florida: Watch out! Vultures referred to as headhunters at some less than reputable clinics are literally bribing homeless people (whether they have a drug problem or not) with cell phones, petty cash and other semi-valuable trinkets to go to their facility. And here’s the worst part. If they don’t already have drugs in their system, head hunters will give them extra cash to go buy and take drugs so they test “hot” or positive so they can be admitted.

In Florida and other places as well, head hunters get big bucks, literally thousands of dollars …

Punishing Methadone Clinics Who Take Away an Addict’s Meds Like Drug Dealers

Methadone, Suboxone and Naltrexone are all legitimate medicine assisted treatment (MAT) options for heroin addiction with a proven success rate. So this is not an anti-MAT article that criticizes genuine treatments and stigmatizes Suboxone or Methadone by claiming that using them is “replacing one drug with another”. In another article called “Suboxone and Methadone: The Brutal Truth About Medicine Assisted Treatment” we explain in great detail why those utilizing MAT as instructed and directed by a medical professional are adhering to the principles of recovery vs addiction. Thus, we believe those who select Suboxone, Methadone or Naltrexone (which includes the Vivitrol shot or the oral ReVia tablet) are clean and sober.

Methadone and Suboxone Patients are Dependent on Their Medication

But, there is a problem. People who use Suboxone and Methadone in particular become dependent on it. This means that their body will go into “shock” and thus, experience withdrawal if …

Is Krokodil a Scam and Has it Made Its Way to the United States?

krokodil4

In the early to mid 2000s the number of men and women suffering from heroin addiction in Russia was skyrocketing . However, at the same time the presence of heroin was plummeting.  As a result, the costs of heroin skyrocketed.  This is a typical case of supply and demand.  When supply is low and demand is high, costs always go up.  Less heroin available meant a higher price for what was remaining.  As a result, heroin became 5 to 10 times more expensive which of course left heroin addicts struggling. With all of these addicts sick and in withdrawal an alternative had to be found. Thus Krokodil (the crocodile drug) was born or rather invented.

Is Krokodil Really a “Flesh-Eating” Drug?

Desomorphine, the street name Krokodil is actually named so because of the specific side effects of this drug. Krokodil turns a user’s skin green and scaly, much like a crocodile – which …

Pennsylvania Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick has built his campaign partially on his alleged desire and dedication to fighting against the heroin epidemic and claims to that he wants more treatment options available for those struggling with addiction. However, when Mike Fitzpatrick was contacted about helping Kill the Heroin Epidemic Nationwide get those less fortunate and unequipped financially to get into treatment, Mike Fitzpatrick’s answer was a big fat “NO”.

Congressman Mike Fitzpatrick Campaign Against the Heroin Epidemic

If you visit Michael Fitzpatrick’s website, you are led to believe that he is “Tackling America’s Opioid Epidemic” by reading the literature and information he provides at https://fitzpatrick.house.gov/epidemic.   A snippet of is campaign related to the opioid epidemic is below for your reference.

“The year 2014 had the highest number of drug overdose deaths on record, driven primarily by opioids. More Americans died — an estimated 28,000 — due to heroin and prescription drug abuse, than from traffic accidents. And, the Center …

Beware of Kickbacks and Avoiding Scams: Top Addiction Treatment Center Ads

While not all addiction treatment centers and drug rehab facilities are created equal, Facebook is riddled with ads for “Top 10 Drug Rehab Facilities and/or Addiction Treatment Centers”.  When you click on these ads, you are typically taken to a low budget (or even a high budget) website designed for the sole purpose of luring you in to one of the treatment centers they work with.

Many of the organizations who claim their treatment centers are the “best” or claim to work for “free” work on “kickbacks”.  You may not be charged for using their service, but they get paid a “referral fee” or kickback from the drug rehab facilities they work with.  A “kickback” is an unlawful and unethical form of payment made to the organization for facilitating some kind of transaction or appointment.  In other words, the organizations only get paid if they “sell” you into one of their addiction treatment …
