In 1780, Union Township became the site for the Battle of Connecticut Farms. British Troops had expected to easily be able to get through the bay, march through Union and penetrate Elizabeth, New Jersey with little to no resistance from the Connecticut troops, and that the residents would welcome them. They were wrong. They were turned back at Hobart Gap and could march no farther into New Jersey.

With all the history and knowledge Union holds, it still remains quiet and relaxing making it perfect for someone who need a travel destination for addiction recovery. Addictions can be extremely hard to kick, drugs and alcohol can cast a giant shadow over us, making it difficult to get through everyday life. Traveling for detox and rehab can help keep you focused and not worried about being tempted to use drug and alcohol. Addiction recovery can be easier if you break away from your normal routine and stay away from your usual circle of friends.

Union citizens are tenacious and dedicated to the wellbeing there of their citizens. It is often hard to find a city where being a recovering addict is looked at as a badge of honor, but the people of Union know that others come from all walks of life. They even have rehab centers where those who wish to seek treatment can go and get the help that they need.

Why Should I Travel for Treatment?

Traveling to another city or state for addiction treatment is an effective way of receiving therapy. When you travel for your treatment, you get away from the harmful influences that may be contributing to your abuse. Influences like work and family stresses, other people who use, places where you may go to buy drugs or alcohol, and other environments that may tempt you to use.

If you are unsure about what to do after you get out of rehab, then maybe take a look into joining a group meeting. Many people find that joining a group meeting helps them with their people skills, stress, and coping mechanisms. You can also meet people just like you who are struggling with the same addiction. You can develop new friendships and a support system to help you with your addiction. Also consider joining a 12-step program. "œWorking the steps" will teach you accountability, humility and how to call upon a higher power to help with your ongoing recovery. 12-steps also encourage members to help other people just like you.
