About Stress Care of New Jersey LLC

Stress Care of New Jersey is an outpatient addiction and behavioral health facility located in Manalapan Township, New Jersey. They have an accreditation from the Joint Commission and are licensed by the state of New Jersey. The programs and services offered at Stress Care include an adolescent substance use intensive outpatient program and adult substance use intensive outpatient services. They also offer adult substance use partial care services. For patients who are unable to receive treatment in person, they can meet with their provider via telehealth for individual or group therapy at their home. Mental health services such as grief counseling and couples counseling are also available at this location.

Stress Care is unique in that it provides addiction treatment for various types of addictions in the adolescent program. In addition to treating substance use disorder, they offer treatment for addictive behaviors such as gambling and internet addictions. Their staff is also qualified to help individuals who are struggling with eating disorders. Treatment is conveniently scheduled after a patient’s school schedule, and they are able to receive group therapy tailored to youth experiences and challenges. The staff assists adolescents with issues such as peer pressure, trauma and identity struggles. Adolescent clients will learn coping skills to help with recovery and receive relapse prevention training.

In the adult program, Stress Care strives to make care as convenient as possible by offering immediate availability, evening hour appointments and short term services. Clients can expect to learn about self esteem building, anxiety management and other topics that will help them in their recovery.

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.

inpatient iconInpatient

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive 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.

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.

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

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug 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.

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.

opium iconOpioid 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 iconSubstance 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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive 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.

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. While such groups may include only three or four individuals, typical therapy groups include 7 to 12 members. An average group meets once or twice weekly for an hour or two. Though some therapy groups are limited to as few as six sessions, most groups are maintained for at least a year.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Psychotherapy is a general treatment method for nearly any mental or emotional disorder that involves talking about the patient's condition with a professional. Psychotherapy is also known as talk therapy or counseling. Talking about about it can help the patient learn more about it and identify the feelings, thoughts, moods and behaviors associated with it. Psychotherapy can help relieve problems caused by serious mental illnesses or other stressful issues including grief, anger, relationship problems, eating disorders or personality disorders. Sessions typically last 45 to 60 minutes and can be done alone, with family members or while performing certain activities.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Marriage counseling, also known as couples therapy, is a type of psychotherapy that helps couples of all types-heterosexual, homosexual, married or not married-improve their relationships by helping them recognize and resolve their conflicts. A trained, professional marriage counselor can help couples rebuild their relationships by assisting the couple in a thoughtful and deliberate reconciliation process. In some cases, of course, this may also mean that the two individuals will go their own separate ways. In most cases, both members of a couple will attend marriage counseling together, but in some cases only one member of the couple may choose to work with the therapist. The therapy is usually short term, taking place over a certain number of sessions, but in other cases the therapy may proceed for a more extended duration, depending on the needs and desires of the couple.

family iconFamily Therapy

Family therapy is a form of psychotherapy that treats two or more members of the same family. The family therapist addresses the individual family's constellation as a unique variation on a common social system. Family therapists study and help to improve the dynamics in a family in which one or more members is experiencing overt distress. Family therapy is based on the premise that, because the interaction among family members is so close and intense, the beliefs, personalities and experiences of each member affect the well-being of the whole family. The designated "patient" in a given family not only impacts the other members, but may be the subconsciously designated representative of the entire family's inner turmoil.

I loved my job here at first. I came in as an excited graduate ready to have my first real "social work" job and the management here completely drained any spark and joy I had left in me. I was called "negative" simply for raising concerns and management tried to pin employees against eachother when they were confronted by all of us. CMs are not at all compensated for the amount of workload we have, I was constantly belittled and gaslit throughout my duration of employment. A job has never stressed me out as much as STRESS care has, I genuinely went into a spiral my last few weeks there because everything only got worse after employees tried advocating for themselves. Six people were fired in our dept within one month leaving 130+ clients unassigned. Completely irresponsible and not at all following the NASW code of ethics by not allowing CMs to properly terminate with the clients. I've been told by multiple therapists, psychiatrists, and others in the field that Stress Care is the "laughing stock of mental health organizations" and I honestly wish I listened. Don't be like me and give this place the "benefit of the doubt" because you're excited. They'll literally hire anyone because they're desperate at this point but take it from me and RUN

Completely unorganized, unprofessional and unethical. Allows unlicensed clinicians to job duties that require a license. Management is condescending, rude and unsupportive. Team leads do absolutely nothing and shift responsibilities to other staff. A constant revolving door of employees and clients. No retention in any department. Daily anxiety and burn out. The only thing stress care brings you is stress

I'm giving this specific stresscare 1 star due to the fact that the caseworker they set me up with "Angel" pretty much drove me to the store then left me stranded with no way to get back home (since my phone was off and I got dropped off by her) I had to pay $40 for a taxi so I could go pay for my phone then go home! If I didn't have money for a cab I'd be screwed! Later i found out Angel left me because she assumed I was shoplifting from the store and got told my her manager Michelle to just leave me at the store?! I'm disgusted that these ppl make accusations and treat their clients so poorly! How do you assume I was shoplifting right away and you didn't think maybe I'm in the fitting room or bathroom? No, right away it had to be shoplifting, right? I've never been accused of something I didn't do by a organization that's supposed to help ppl. I was so upset and stressed out over this incident and even sent them my receipt showing I didn't steal they still said they had no proof to prove I didn't steal! To even go to the worst possible thing and assume I did it is just wrong on so many levels.. So I told them to discharge me. The program is good but Angel treated me HORRIBLE that day! Nobody should be treated like that!!

I don't know what is happening with Stress Care, but it is getting worse. When I call to make an appointment, I am put on hold for over 15 minutes at a time. When I leave a message, my calls are never returned. There have also been numerous times when after waiting to speak with someone, my call is disconnected.Last month, I had to call their location in Manalapan to get an appointment. Why? Because no one in their Matawan office was answering their phone. No one would respond to my messages.This must change!
