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.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

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.

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). Cognitive-behavioral therapy is a common type of mental health counseling. Through this type of therapy, children become more aware of their negative thoughts and learn how to replace them with positive ones. Cognitive behavioral therapy can be a very helpful tool.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

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. This type of therapy is instrumental in helping students to open up and explore their inner thoughts and feelings through play, which is the child’s natural environment. The games and activities are therapeutic and assist in developing specific treatment goals. The games are chosen to specifically meet the needs of each individual child.

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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

They provide a number of specialized group counseling programs including a program for boys ages 11-14 with ADHD, social skills program for girls ages 11-14 and a combined yoga and group counseling program for girls ages 11-14 experiencing anxiety. Group counseling programs can be developed and tailored to a variety of needs for children, tweens, teens, and adults. Group Counseling focuses on the key components to maintain and develop peer relations. Students learn how to make good choices, and how to behave in different situations. They learn how to get along with others. They learn how to possess good social skills and how social skills can influence their academic performance, behavior, social, and family relationships. Good social skills are critical to successful functioning in life.

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.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. The School-Based Social Skills Lessons are a six week program set in a classroom. The lessons focus on improving self-esteem, increasing communication skills, respect & responsibilities, bullying & teasing, and developing coping skills to address those issues.
