In a news piece designed to draw more attention to the designer drug problem plaguing America’s youth, Fox News CT and Mountainside Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center’s Clinical Director, Fred Keane, highlighted the dangers of bath salts in the New England area.
“Bath salts are a very addictive substance,” begins Fred Kean, Clinical Director at Mountainside
Drug Rehab and Alcohol Treatment Center. “Unfortunately, they are also currently legal, which is something we hope to effect change on in the very near future. Our previous clients have told us that they have used bath salts much like crystal meth. Since it’s relatively inexpensive to acquire, individuals are able to purchase large quantities, continuing their high for days on end. This type of drug can ruin a person’s life very quickly and can, in fact, take someone’s life. We’re hopeful that Congress will see fit to move swiftly to ban these substances; Mountainside is committed to doing all that we can to make that happen.”
