Detox in Lake Worth

Comment Up
Lawrence, New Jersey has been fighting a zoning change that will allow a drug addiction rehab center that treats people with emotional, psychological and physical problems. Read about it here.

The company applying in Lawrence has a detox place in Lake Worth: Sunrise Detox Center
3185 Boutwell Road, Lake Worth, FL 33461. Patients with serious addictions fly in from all over the country. Did anyone know we had this in Lake Worth?

The Lawrence Township Board of Adjustment correctly held that, as a matter of law, no community may be compelled (nor should it be compelled) to house a for-profit detoxification center in a non-permitted land use zone merely because there exists an empty office building for which the landlord needs rental income. Obviously the land use is correct for their facility in Lake Worth.

Lynn, never mind about that one, what about the Five unlicensed Rehabs on South Federal Highway?

I wonder what they're paying in fire assessments? $60 bucks?
