Opioid Addiction Treatment Center Opens In Lanoka Harbor

LANOKA HARBOR, NJ — A New Jersey-based treatment center with locations in several states has opened a new center for those seeking opioid addiction treatment in Lacey.

Pinnacle Treatment Centers recently opened Lacey Treatment Services at 411 Route 9, Suite 1 in Lanoka Harbor, according to a company news release.

According to the office of the Chief State Medical Examiner, Ocean County remains as one of the top three counties in New Jersey for suspected overdose deaths, behind Camden and Essex counties.

The community-based program offers medical-assisted treatment (MAT) for adult men and women, Pinnacle said, "including FDA-approved medicines such as methadone and buprenorphine, which curb withdrawal symptoms from heroin and opioid addiction; prevent relapse; and help ease the physical discomfort that accompanies opioid recovery. Individual counseling, group counseling and peer support services are provided as part of a holistic approach to patient care."

"The team we have assembled to treat this community brings a wealth of knowledge and long-time experience working in MAT. We are incredibly proud of this team and their drive to provide much needed services locally," said Regional Vice President Chris White.

"We are here to be helpful and caring to the patients that need our services. In addition to medication and counseling, we will be able to provide peer support and case management services to eligible patients," said Lacey Treatment Services Assistant Executive Director Dana Mills. "This will allow us to connect these patients to resources who can assist with areas they may be struggling with, such as housing, health or dental services, employment, education, and other social services. Our goal is to give our patients the best chance possible at restoring their lives."

Lacey Treatment Services accepts Medicaid, commercial insurance and offers self-pay rates. The center is open Mondays through Fridays, 5:30 a.m.- 12 p.m., and on Saturdays, 5:30 a.m.- 12 p.m. Individuals can call 609-357-4428 for a free, confidential assessment.
