About Adult & Teen Challenge New Jersey

Adult & Teen Challenge’s New Jersey Men’s Center is a faith based, drug and alcohol rehab for male adolescents and adults in Lebanon, New Jersey. They offer long term, intensive, residential care. There are programs for co-occurring addiction and mental illness. Their primary treatment modalities combine psychotherapy, Biblical study, therapies, and recovery focused life skills training.

The inpatient program lasts 12-15 months and is for adults. They offer mental health assessments, personalized plans, and case management. They prioritize Christian principles as the foundation for long term recovery. In addition to Biblical study, you’ll have intensive individual, group, and family therapy. There’s also experiential and recreational therapy as well. That way, you can develop strong life skills in coping, self care, trauma resolution, anger and stress management, and relapse prevention.

The New Jersey Men’s Center promotes clients’ successful reintegration into their homes, families, workplaces, and communities. After the program ends, you’ll still have access to peer coaching, career counseling, career coaching, 12 Steps, and medical assistance. Alumni are invited back for a 3-6 month mentorship program with new clients.

Adult & Teen Challenge is funded by private donations. You’ll be asked to contribute a monthly donation, if possible. Affiliate outpatient programs might lead to extra fees, which may be covered by insurance.

On this Father s Day I can once again add the Happy because of this Adult & Teen Challenge Organization. This neuropsychiatric disease, that has become so pervasive, requires the Superpowers of this organization. I have witnessed first-hand how the Love, Caring, and Support offered daily in this Spiritual environment transforms lives from a feeling of hopelessness to lives of Vibrancy, Hopefulness, and a Thriving desire to internally reconnect with self, God, and loved ones. It is so palpable and amazing to watch!I am especially proud of the inexhaustible work that Bridget and Amanda are doing at the Adult & Teen Challenge, Lebanon NJ! The giving back seems second nature for them, and it does not go unnoticed.Remember, Every Day Is a Gift!

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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 iconInpatient
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
aftercare iconAftercare Support
Clients in a rehab aftercare program have typically completed detox and intensive inpatient and are medically stable. These programs are designed to address addiction recovery as a life-long process. Outpatient counseling and recovery education are typically categorized as drug rehab aftercare, but many clients continue to receive support after being discharged from formal outpatient treatment. Case managers and recovery teams facilitate clients' access to peer coaching, career counseling, 12 step program induction, and related services.
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.
24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care
24-hour clinical care in New Jersey provides a setting where you can withdraw from alcohol or drugs under close monitoring of experienced medical staff. These trained professionals can intervene at any time if needed. They can prescribe medications to reduce cravings and physical discomfort. Mental health professionals are also available to address any emotional and psychological challenges you experience as you begin your recovery journey.
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

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 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.

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 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 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.

Programs

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.
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.

Clinical Services

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.

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.

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

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.

I have been involved with Teen Challenge for the last 14 years of my life. I myself have gone through the program and many loved ones of mine have gone through as well. I have seen many lives changed and miracles! Lebanon TC is a great campus and they really care about their men. If your looking for a place to send your loved one, this is it.

Thank the Lord for this program! It was a vessel that not only allowed me to obtain sobriety, but it has also enabled me to work on deep rooted issues in my life. I'm eternally grateful for all the staff and residents that have brought me closer to God.

I can't speak highly enough of this place! My sister was struggling with severe addiction, and moved here from California for a fresh start. Bridget, the assistant director, made the process of enrolling my sister very streamlined and straight forward.My sister has now successfully completed 8 of the 12 month program, and is doing better than I've seen in over 10 years. The program is thoughtful in making recovery hopeful and joy filled. The emphasis on God's transformative power is central, but they take people from all walks of life and faith journeys.I will forever be thankful for Bridget and the staff at Teen Challenge New Jersey. I know that they genuinely care for my sister's well being and her recovery journey. I can't recommend this place enough.

Amazing experience! I was a heroin addict for 15 years and since the program I'm going on 4 years clean. This place saved my life! I am back in touch with my family after years of not speaking. The staff is very supportive and close with all the residents. You're not just a number at this facility like some other programs. 10/10 would highly recommend
