Treatment

Alcoholism

Alcoholism (alcohol use disorder) is diagnosed when a person’s drinking causes harm or distress and they continue to drink anyway. Often, they have a physical as well as psychological dependence on the substance. To treat alcohol addiction, medical detox is often necessary to safely withdraw from alcohol. Once this is complete, alcohol rehab in New Jersey can provide skills and supports necessary for long-term recovery.

Drug Addiction

Drug rehab in New Jersey is the process of addressing the complex issues involved with addiction. Challenges are identified and addressed through individual and group counseling. Participants learn how to manage these issues without the use of substances.

Mental Health and Substance Abuse

New Jersey has a range of mental health and substance abuse treatment programs providing dual-diagnosis treatment. These rehabs provide effective treatment for co-occurring disorders, which typically involves an inpatient or outpatient program. Treatment often includes a mental health evaluation, individualized treatment plan, individual and group therapy, evidence-based interventions like cognitive behavioral therapy, and psychoeducation. When combined, these programs and therapeutic interventions can successfully address co-occurring disorders to improve mental health and well-being.

Opioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Level of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs enable clients to receive a full continuum of care while continuing to live at home. They’re often ideal for clients who are stepping down from inpatient care but some clients may prefer to transition into outpatient treatment immediately after completing detox. Many outpatient facilities also offer ambulatory medical detox for low-risk clients. Outpatient treatment generally includes psychotherapy and life skills training. Clients in opioid and/or alcohol recovery may also receive medication assisted treatment (MAT).

Inpatient

The Child and Adolescent Inpatient Unit is comprised of two components: The Children’s Crisis Intervention Service (CCIS) and the Intermediate Sub-Acute Unit. The goal of both units is to provide psychiatric stabilization and treatment to children in extreme distress. The treatment is provided within the the guiding philosophy of a therapeutic community and implemented by a highly skilled multidisciplinary team. The inpatient units help to assure safe stabilization and positive discharge direction for children. They help children learn positive boundary, limit setting, self control, coping, communication and behavior skills.

12-Step

Participants in 12 step programs engage in a rigorous process of personal growth as a cornerstone of long-term recovery. They are expected to attend anonymous, peer-led 12 step meetings, which are free, open to the public, and available multiple times per day in most communities. Though these programs are rooted in spiritual principles, religious affiliation is not required. Self-selected peer sponsors mentor participants as they work through the 12 steps, learning forgiveness, understanding, acceptance, and accountability.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.

Their Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapeutic program designed to treat adolescents and young adults (ages 12-18) who exhibit difficulty regulating their emotions and behavior. Developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, DBT was originally created to treat adult women who were chronically suicidal, self-injuring, and exhibiting symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder. It has since been adapted for teens and families. Through a supportive and validating therapeutic environment, behavioral skills are developed to improve impulse control, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, overall functioning and replacing harmful ways of thinking and behaving with healthy ones.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.

They provide family therapy to improve parent and guardian effectiveness and the support network of the children they serve. Their systems approach brings together the individuals most involved in a child’s life to improve communication and to build effective problem solving skills.

Their extensive group psychotherapy services helps children with a wide variety of difficulties. Children and adolescents are able to share their experiences and learn that they are not alone in their struggles, anxiety and problems. Their specialized groups include: Social Skills, Anger Management, Depression/Anxiety, Teen Challenges, Separation and Loss, Divorce and Parenting Skill-Building.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life. They offer short-term, solution-focused therapy to assist children and adolescents build the skills they need to overcome their problems.

They provide evidence-based trauma treatment and services to children, adolescents and their families who experience and/or witness traumatic events. Utilizing interventions developed by the National Child Traumatic Stress Network (NCTSN) and the CARES Institute/Rowan University, they work with trauma-impacted families offering brief, focused, short-term psychotherapeutic intervention in individual and group formats to reduce the incidence, severity, and duration of acute stress and PTSD conditions.
