About Specialized Therapy Associates

Specialized Therapy Associates provides treatment for substance addiction and mental health conditions in Hackensack, New Jersey. They have a multi-disciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, counselors, nurse practitioners and drug and alcohol counselors. The team uses a functional medicine model to provide a more complete continuum of care.

They have a program devoted to addiction and codependency for adults 18 and older. There are specific programs for mental health issues that often accompany addiction, like services for anxiety and depression. They also offer gender specific therapy groups so guests can focus on healing without distractions.

Individual therapy sessions allow one on one time with a professional who can help you uncover the root causes of your addiction issues. You may work on developing healthier coping skills, recognizing substance use triggers and learning relapse prevention methods for the future.

Group therapy provides time with others who may share similar experiences and offer feedback for your sobriety journey. It can also reduce feelings of isolation that frequently come with addiction.

There are holistic activities and workshops that address the mental, physical and emotional aspects of addiction and healing. These services give you comprehensive care to help you achieve a sober lifestyle.

Specialized Therapy Associates accepts most commercial insurance plans. They will also provide an insurance verification at no cost to you. The goal is to have a treatment team in one location that can get you on the road to recovery and address the unique needs you may have to help you become a productive member of your community.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

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.

Heart icon Treatment

check iconDual 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.

mental-health iconMental Health

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup 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.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

Terrible staff terrible therapists. Wasted time and money. Positive reset is 100% times better

Their actual therapists provide a quality service, but the front office with this organization is terribly managed. After being referred to Specialized Therapy Associates by my insurance company, their front office mistakenly provided me with a provider that was out of my network. It took them months of treatment to actually catch this, and then they expected me to front the entirety of this accumulated bill out of my own pocket. They even threatened the forwarding of this sum to a debt collector if I failed to pay the company for their mistake in a prospective payment plan form emailed to me by the company. I was also forced to completely abandon my treatment and the progress that had been made with my therapist because of their office's abysmal miscalculation. If you value your mental well-being and the money in your pocket, stay clear of this company and invest your time and hard earned money elsewhere.Edit: This organization's business practices are outright fraudulent. STAY AWAY. To collect on the outstanding balance refuted by my insurance company, caused by their office's adminstrative error (possible scam), they proceeded to charge me by using my debit card on file without my authorization.

Upon completing the intake I was told who my therapist would be. After a day or two I received a call from some woman who said that after reviewing my paperwork they thought Alyssa Spitz would be better for me.Alyssa Spits wanted nothing to do with me and went as far as to say, "Don't want to get your hopes up, this may not work".Why did the "powers up above" say she would be a good fit for me and now she doesn't even feel like she can help?What a joke! This is what therapy has become - therapists even doubting themselves. I only had two sessions with her and by the second appt. I could already tell she gave up on wanting to treat me

I had prior years of therapy and various doctors and found that at specialized therapy that my experience with the therapist, doctor and the functional nutritionist was extraordinary. I learned how to sleep well and eat well and eventually got off of medication. I feel my best now. The professionals are excellent here. The hours convenient and accommodated my schedule. I can't say enough great things about this practice because so much more was offered than just traditional therapy. This is the first time I actually feel like I am really well. I am excited about life again. Thank-you for all you have done for me.

Was told to book an appointment for a service they say they dont even offer.

Response from the owner3 years ago
Good Afternoon Alicia, I do apologize for your dissatisfaction. What service were you offered, and do you recall who you spoke to? We offer the full range of services for outpatient mental health. If you called and we didn t offer a service, we would gladly refer you to the proper level of care. :)

Only had a few sessions but a storm came and knocked out their power and they don t back up their records so they couldn t even inform clients that sessions had been canceled. Really disappointing when these are the people you re supposed to count on when you need help.

Response from the owner1 year ago
Good Afternoon Jasmine, we apologize for the inconvenience and delay. Proper mental health treatment is our mission, and we take your care very seriously, Please feel free to give us a call if you'd like schedule new appointments.
