Daytop NJ Pittsgrove Facility
Daytop NJ Pittsgrove Facility

(PRWEB) June 27, 2014 -- Daytop New Jersey held a groundbreaking ceremony June 18, 2014 for the expansion of the Daytop NJ Salem County facility. The expanded outpatient & administration building in Pittsgrove, NJ will create more resources for adults and adolescents struggling with addiction.

During the ceremony, Conrad Peclet, a 17 year Manchester Township High School senior shared the harrowing story of his heroin and cocaine addiction, relating how he injected drugs in his toes to hide the needle marks and used stolen credit cards, resulting in court-ordered residential treatment.

The new 11,000 sq ft Pittsgrove facility will go up on property Daytop bought earlier with a $1.2 million grant. When completed, Daytop NJ will be able to serve 50 residential patients and add a new outpatient program for teens, said Daytop NJ Jim Curtin.

"People's lives are getting saved here today", said Peclet, now ready for graduation from school and rehab after a six-month stay at Daytop New Jersey.

"The new 11,000 square foot Pittsgrove facility will go up on property Daytop bought earlier with a $1.2 million grant. When completed, Daytop NJ will be able to serve 50 residential patients and add a new outpatient program for teens," said Daytop NJ CEO Jim Curtin.

"This property was planned to be expanded way back in 2005 when we opened it and first started serving adolescents, and it’s very gratifying to see it become a reality.” Curtin said. “While adult patients can wait nine to 12 months for an open bed, New Jersey teens can get into residential treatment immediately,” Curtin explained.

“It seems most parents seek help after their children are already young adults and deep into their addictions,” explained Kathleen "Kass" Foster. Foster, and Susan Buonomo, are founding members of the Marlton-based group Parent-to-Parent. Both women lost sons to addiction and have long sought to help other families fighting addiction.

"It would be helpful for parents to increase their knowledge, to know what to look for," said Buonomo, "to catch them at the edge of the cliff, and not try to catch them way down at the bottom of the cliff."
