5 Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

People have lived in the Lehigh Valley in Pennsylvania for thousands of years, but the present city was founded on Christmas Eve in 1741 by Moravian Christians, who named the new town after “the Man of Peace.” Today the city has more than 75,000 people and is part of the Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton metropolitan area. There are also several addiction treatment facilities available for those struggling with addiction.

Substance Abuse In Bethlehem & Northampton County

The majority of Bethlehem is located in Northampton County, with a smaller part of the city in Lehigh County. Statistically, Bethlehem has lower crime rates than Allentown and other nearby areas, but it has still been hit hard with the opioid epidemic:

  • The youngest person to die from an opioid overdose in 2017 was 20, and the oldest was 70, the Morning Call reported.
