Substance Abuse In Fort Dix

 

Fort Dix is home to the first prison in the United States working specifically to treat inmates with substance abuse issues. The Mid-State Correctional Facility was part of Governor Christie’s promise to take measures to combat the growing opioid epidemic in New Jersey. The prison is a residential correctional facility with the means to hold almost 700 medium-security inmates.

 

The inmates will have access to state-certified treatment programs for as long as it takes to help them get sober. Support groups, 12-step programs, and medication-assisted treatment will be offered at the facility, and inmates will be assigned to one of four levels of treatment based on the severity of their addiction.
