Clifton Community Behavioral Health Clinic is a private, non profit outpatient clinic in Clifton, New Jersey. They help adults, adolescents and families who are experiencing mental health issues including substance abuse disorders. They’re committed to providing inclusive care to all members of the community.

Services offered include outpatient addiction treatment, outpatient opioid detox, early intervention treatment for substance abuse. They also offerindividual, family and group therapy.
You can pay for your services through private insurance, Medicaid and Medicare. Clients who don’t have insurance coverage or aren’t eligible for Medicaid can apply for financial assistance.

Many clients come to the clinic through referrals but you can also reach out to an admissions coordinator who will help you set up an appointment. They have convenient hours and are open Monday through Saturday. If you participate in outpatient opioid detox then you’ll have access to the clinic Monday through Sunday.
Outpatient treatment programs are run by a caring team that includes board certified psychiatrists, experienced nurses, skilled therapists with Master’s degrees and certified peer support specialists. The path to recovery is not the same for everyone so the team uses a coordinated patient focused care approach. They provide the guidance and support you need on your recovery journey.
If you’re looking for help with opioid detox then you’ll be supported by a caring team that specializes in safe medical withdrawal management using Medication to Support Recovery (MSR). This compassionate approach has helped many people find their way to recovery.

All clients have access to outpatient services (OP). Most clients participate in individual therapy, but many also attend family and group therapy sessions. If you need more support than traditional outpatient services offer but don’t require 24 hour supervision then they provide intensive outpatient services (IOS). Clients aged 16 and over can access intensive outpatient care which may include psychiatric services.

One of the highlights of being a client here is the Peer Recovery Support program. It’s like having a friend who truly understands what you’re going through because they’ve faced similar struggles. You’ll have a safe space where you can talk openly about your challenges and build connections that remind you that you’re not alone in this fight!

They really help quite clearly by doing our part everything is possible. Two of the girls in front are extremely kind, Shamanta in the morning and in the afternoon I don't remember her name and they are offended. The dark-haired girl is very friendly and looks for a way to help. I feel very happy to find this place.

The services at this facility are very disappointing. First when I called to make an initial appointment for my son I was told it was an evaluation for 1.5 hours. I made arrangements and pulled him out of school just to find out on arrival it was a brief intake appointment in a dark room. Then I had to wait over 1 month for an appointment on critical issues I am having with my child which again I was told the appointment would be a hour and half. The NP came on and without even getting a FULL history of my son and within 15 minutes prescribe a heavy medication to us and sent us on our way. This is why people are over medicate because doctors and facilities don't take the time to investigate the best path for patients. Disgusted and disappointed|

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
outpatient iconOutpatient
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 iconIntensive Outpatient
Clients who are exiting inpatient rehab, those who are experiencing crisis, and those who prefer to live at home while in treatment typically enroll in intensive inpatient programs (IOP). These programs feature frequent and robust care, generally requiring clients to participate in at least nine hours of care weekly, though many intensive outpatient rehabs offer up to 20 treatment hours per week. IOP services typically combine individual, group, and family counseling with recovery education and holistic therapies.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
12-step icon12-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.
heart-hands iconIntervention Services
A drug intervention in New Jersey is more than a confrontational conversation. This organized effort is specific and goal-oriented. During the intervention, family members share specific examples of how the person's addiction has impacted their lives and spell out what they will do if the individual does not get treatment. The intervention also presents a clear treatment plan, which typically involves input from intervention services.
partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term, intensive outpatient option designed for those with moderate to severe addictions who don't require 24-hour care. PHP treatment is often fully covered by insurance and provides structured programming (i.e. individual and group therapy). A typical partial hospitalization program can meet 3-5 days a week for a minimum of 20 hours, offering intensive treatment during the day while allowing you to return home after. PHP treatment duration can vary based on your progress but averages 90 days.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically 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.

Treatments

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
program-for-men thumbnail image
Program For Men
Men face specific challenges and concerns when seeking addiction treatment. Gender-specific recovery programs help them tackle these issues head-on in an environment that's focused, targeted, and distraction-free. It also gives them the opportunity to connect with and learn from other men who have been through a similar journey and can offer support for the next step.
program-for-women thumbnail image
Program For Women
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
hiv-aids-program thumbnail image
HIV/AIDS Program
HIV/AIDS programs support disease prevention and management in high-risk individuals in recovery. Individuals who engage in intravenous drug use and other addictive behaviors are at a higher risk of becoming infected with HIV. Rehab centers that specialize in treating this population typically have a high number of nurses, physicians, and psychiatrists on staff who can make sure both their medical and mental health needs are met.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in New Jersey typically follows a set structure of treatment. The therapist helps clients identify their life challenges and their thoughts surrounding those challenges. The client then learns to identify unhealthy thought patterns and reshape those into healthy patterns of thinking and behavior.

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.

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.

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.

Trauma therapy provides a structure to approach healing from past traumatic events that you may have witnessed or experienced. Your therapist will work with you to identify and process these memories. This helps promote a sense of safety and stability and helps you heal emotionally.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

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.

For best results, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) should be combined with other methods to quit smoking. While NRT addresses physical dependence, other quit program elements are necessary to address emotional and mental dependence. Together, these supports can help you successfully quit tobacco for good.

I have given 4 stars because the staff other then the receptionist idk which one it is, is amazing. The receptionist whoever it maybe I speak to is lazy, inconsiderate and just a plain out liar. I have called over 100 times in a week just 1 day alone was 36 they would pick up and hang up the phone. This is all because I ran out of my meds and needed a refill. Nothing was done even the therapist had to take time out our meeting to tell whoever the lady was to let them know I m out he has 0 but nothing was done. This is unacceptable and just plain out lazy. She needs to be fired you are only as strong as your weakest link and well that s it. They even said when I was like if I end up in a mental house that s my fault right? Yes!! Ohh really because you didn t do your job it s my fault. No problem, let s play that game.

This place was great until they switched over to new management. My therapist is great but the rest of the staff doesn t know how to treat people with mental illness. They treat you like you shouldn t be part of society. Don t waste your time here. It will leave you feeling worse.

This place will make your anxiety worse. The are so bad with paperwork. They tell you to submit your claims to insurance yourself, but the proof of payment paper they give you has all the wrong info. Wrong date. Wrong diagnosis code. Wrong address. When you go back for a correct copy, it s still wrong. Good luck having them pick up. I ve gotten my appointment canceled on me, or the therapist is late. Their system was shut down for like 2 weeks. I am not happy with this place, if you can find somewhere else I think you should.

Used to be a good place. Not sure what happened but it is very disorganized. There is no need to lie to a patient. You ll be surprised how much honesty can make a difference. Now I understand why people are going elsewhere.

I have been calling for the past month trying to make an appointment and they keep redirecting me to someone who never picks up I called one more time today and told her if there s any other way I can make an appointment and they said no and continue to redirect me to the person who never picks up the phone. Im very upset because this is the one of the few places that accepts my insurance and the other few places that do accept my insurance dont pick up the phone aswell!! Its very discouraging especially when you have issues going on with you and no one seems to care or want to help it just makes me want to stop trying

This practice is not efficient with patient care at all. They do not have their patients best interest in mind. Stephanie does not return calls for prescriptions refills even after numerous calls/messages. It gets very frustrating taking time out of our busy schedules to call this place and no one returns your calls. This being a mental health clinic, it s very poorly managed. How are your patients supposed to cope without any medical advice? They CAN T even reach their PSYCHIATRIST!!
