Introduction Today, among the topical issues that are faced by Newark’s community and require an early solution, there is a severe problem of the growth of drug addiction as a threat to the health of the city’s population and local interests in general. The city is currently undergoing a continuous expansion of drugs of various types and forms of origin. For Newark, in the short and medium term, the problem of drug trafficking and the growth of drug addiction can seriously affect the following important areas of society. In the social sphere, it is a threat to the preservation of the nation’s healthy gene pool. Of particular concern is the fact that the number of drug addicts among women and minors is growing. In the political sphere, there is a danger that the drug mafia is not interested in regional and national stability. The profits received from drugs go to support the forces seeking to influence the states (Abdel-Salam et al., 2017).

Consumption of highly active, expensive and most hazardous to health synthetic narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances (LSD, ecstasy, amphetamines) is increasing (Peckham et al., 2018). The analysis of the results of the previous attempts and program documents adopted within the given scope indicates that there have been many activities dedicated to the issue, including the development of drug rehab centers. In Newark, a unified and balanced state policy in the field of drug trafficking has been formed and is being implemented, state and social control over the development of the drug situation has been established (Abdel-Salam et al., 2017). It was possible to achieve its stabilization and limit the negative impact on the state of internal and external security of Newark, health and well-being of the people. All three sources highly influenced the design of the program by increasing the general need for higher funding in order to ensure that the rehab center will both effective and efficient. Therefore, it will require a consistent level of top performance of the center, which is mainly driven by the work done by professionals specializing in the given field alongside
