Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.

Intensive Outpatient

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Medically Assisted Detox

A medical detox is the safest way to wean your body off addictive substances. When you become physically dependent on alcohol or drugs, quitting abruptly can cause a host of challenging and uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. In medically assisted detox, a team of medical professionals will be on hand to monitor any symptoms, to provide medication if possible, and to help keep you as safe and as comfortable as possible throughout this process.

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.

Treatment

Alcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

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.

Dual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

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.

Substance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavior Therapy

Group Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Individual Therapy

During individual therapy for drug addiction, patients receive a customized and tailored approach to understanding their unique circumstances and providing them with targeted interventions. These include coping skills, relapse prevention plans, and developing resilience, all of which are essential for long term recovery.

Motivational Interviewing

Motivational interviewing helps clients find their motivation to change. It can be an effective method to work with clients who are angry or hostile or feel insecure about their ability to make changes in their lives. It is often used during addiction treatment or to manage physical health conditions.

Family Therapy

Family therapy sessions address addiction related conflicts and other issues between members of the family unit. By strengthening communication and coping skills, as well as creating a nurturing environment, the family can help support their loved one's recovery.

Recreational Therapy

Recreational therapy is a dynamic approach to addiction treatment in New Jersey. It integrates activities like music therapy, team sports, and gardening so you have a therapeutic outlet for your emotions and stress. This improves your physical and mental health and helps you develop new skills to support a sober lifestyle.

I feel unfair to leave a one star review because I haven t had a long enough experience to feel like I qualify to review this place & I hate to leave one star reviews because I also run a business & know how important reviews are. But the lady they have at the front desk whose name is Sandra needs to get taken away from the front desk, and be put into treatment herself because she is beyond ill-mannered and condescending. This is the WRONG environment to have some one like this working your front desk, if I didn t feel the need to continue to go this place because of the convenience factor (it s close to my home and my insurance is approved) I would not go to any of my appointments just off of the interaction I had with her today. & to make it even better After I addressed her approach she said give me one second and hung up the phone.I don t know how good or bad this place is, but she is going to cost you guys A LOT of clients before they even enter that facility. I hope this review reaches the owner of the organization & he can make some adjustments because I genuinely wouldn t want to see anyone s business fail. I m honestly willing to take my review down in the future if I see that there s an actual change in her behavior, or she s completely gone because that is not the way you treat people going in for treatment , or any human at all, SPECIALLY if you don t know them.PS - I hope you see this Sandra & know that being condescending doesn t make you smarter than anyone, it actually highlights your ignorance.

The Passion Care Center is one of the best counseling agencies hands down! Anyone looking for a service that actually cares about their client and not just another number or money opp - then stop looking. You won t regret it.

The dumbest group of staff members I've ever encountered. The level of incompetence on the phone and in person is shocking.

This practice does not care about their patients at all. They re willing to cover up their misguidance of patients and put them in a position of mental distress to keep leaching off of your insurance and copays. DO NOT COME HERE. You re safer in the hands of a practice that actually cares about your health and isn t willing to put you in mental danger. I hope this review helps steer someone clear of this place. God bless.

Thank you for taking time to share your feedback. We want you to know that we have a system of care that requires treatment to be warranted in order to provide services. Insurance and co-pays are not a part of that evaluation process. We're truly sorry to hear about how you felt. Your feedback is invaluable to us. Please feel free to contact our Executive Director at (732)410-7102, she will take the time to meet with you and address your concerns. Once again, we appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to work with you again. Kindly, The Passion Care Center

This place does not care about their patients. My psych Linda had no bedside manner & not engaging. No empathy either. Jess was my therapist & she is great but she's leaving in a week or 2. They then suggested I seek a different place after seeing them for months. If that's the case, fine. They assured me they would help in that process. NO ONE did. I called several times & no one called me back. I spoke to a supervisor Christina. She said she would call me back too. No one did. This went on for a month getting the run around. Then I spoke to Linda a month later & she said I was discharged. I was beyond upset. I shared what I was going thru and was almost in tears. She said a case manager would contact me. No empathy. No one did... That was over a week ago. I was left, high & dry. They added to my depression & anxiety!

We are pleased to hear that you had a great experience with your counselor. As for the concerns that you addressed, please call our office and ask to speak with our Executive Director and she will clarify and assist you as needed.

SO FULL OF B.S!!!! They automatically want to treat each situation as an addiction case and require urine and blood right off the zip. Not everyone falls into that category. Do better!!!! Finally a response after a month and yes I did request to speak to a director x2 and all they gave was the nurse practitioner. So if you want to continue this discussion please feel free to contact me directly at any time. I will more than glad to explain how your company is continuing to fail the mental health community.

Hi Ms. Santana, Our agency takes pride in treating the whole person, which requires us to ensure we are providing testing and assessment to provide accurate diagnosis and medication prescriptions. Because of the dangers associated with overdose and overmedication, we require clients at the Passion Care Center to receive bloodwork/toxicology testing so that we provide services in a 'safety-first' manner. You are more than welcome to speak to any of our directors if you want clarification on this policy.

During my time with the passion care center I felt very mishandled but had no where to go. I was going through a lot and they continued to leave me without a therapist because of availability issues. Im disgusted by the way this facility has responded to complaints. They scheduled appointments without calling until last minute and expected me to be available. Not to mention the lack of availability for calling in for questions or concerns. I always had to call about 3 times before someone answered the phone. Im disappointed and wouldn t recommend this place to others.

I apologize that you felt this way. Complaints are typically handled within 24-48 hours on-site when a formal and/or verbal/written complaint is received by our Executive Director. Additionally, our counselors try their best to maintain schedules unless they are sick and/or must take care of personal matters. We are more than happy to have a conversation with you regarding our policies and to review your concerns in person.
