With the national unemployment rate at 10.2 percent and the
continued shedding of jobs the overall unemployment rate is the highest
rate since April 1983. In spite of the Federal government’s actions to
help unemployed workers, namely the extension of unemployment benefits
and reduction of COBRA contributions, the health-insurance and
unemployment benefits for approximately 50,000 people expire each week.
These growing phenomena combined with a tight labor market have caused
a rise in alcoholic drinking and drug use as evidenced by the increase
of admissions at hospital detoxes and drug rehab programs in the New York, and New Jersey areas. As the people that are
engaged in alcoholic drinking and drug use hit “bottom”, many are
seeking addiction recovery services without insurance and often little
to no resources.
The added stressors that an economic depression brings to individuals and families
often result in increased divorce rates, foreclosures, eviction rates, marital
problems, drug addiction, alcohol abuse and a host of others issues that often
require the help of professionals. In the vacuum of benefits and shortage of
affordable self-pay options, one affordable drug rehab program in Connecticut –
Mountainside Treatment Center, has seen a growing spike in demand for its services
and is helping hundreds of clients this year from all of over the US.

The state unemployment rates for New Jersey and New York have been forecast to stay
around 9.2 percent and 8.2 percent respectively throughout 2010. While the overall
decline of national non-farm payrolls on a month over month basis has slowed from
219 thousand in September to 190 thousand in October, many economists have noted
that these numbers will be more than likely be upwardly revised in the coming
months.
