Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

An individual outpatient treatment program is available for those who continue beyond completion of the IOP program. Two sessions are available, for day and evening attendance. Outpatient programs are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

The Fair Lawn IOP (Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program) is a convenient, local substance abuse treatment program for adults, designed to allow continued attendance in school or at work, while providing consistent, reliable counseling and group support right in the home community. Every client begins with 4 sessions per week, but with successful progression through a 6-8 week IOP program, this may be reduced (depending on clinical discretion).

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). The 12 Step approach to counseling is very effective, and forms the basis of peer support that has proven to be essential for successful recovery in many cases. Most of their individualized client treatment plans include participation in 12-step meetings.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).

inpatient iconInpatient

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.

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.

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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research has shown the individuals whose families are involved in treatment have a much better prognosis and a higher success rate. The Counseling Center at Fair Lawn will make a concerted effort to include family members in treatment whenever possible. The goal of the family education program is to provide family members with information and support that will assist clients in their recovery. A family education group will be held every week (typically Wednesday from 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm, but please check the schedule).

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). At The Counseling Center, they seek to always run small group meetings of 10 people or less. They find that smaller groups are more comfortable for those participating and sharing, and allow for more careful review of important topics under discussion.

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.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical means opposing. The premise of dialectical behavior therapy is to learn how two things that seem to be opposite can actually be true. You learn how to accept yourself while also making changes. The focus is on accepting your emotions and changing how you manage them.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

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.

One of the worst experiences I’ve ever been through. No one there actually cares about your well being. They put on a show in the group therapy then berate you in the one on one sessions. No one there wants to actually help you through your problems. I cannot believe this ... Read More

I don t even know where to begin with my experience at this facility, and I could make a soliloquy of their disservice to me personally but if I were to read a Google review about an intensive outpatient program for myself or a loved one struggling with addiction and mental health, I would want to know a couple key things 1) how are the groups and counselors 2) will this place accommodate my schedule of work, family & 12 step meetings or therapy 3) will my medication be filled in a timely and appropriate manner 4) and most importantly, I would want to know if I (as the addict) or someone I love would be seen as being more than just an addict or someone with mental health.I can genuinely say that none of these things were achieved for me or many I have learned that have gone there. The groups are monotonous and hard to sit through. The counselors are harsh and seem scared of being insubordinate and losing employment at the expense of advocating for their clients. In addition, they have very little knowledge of the clients that they are working with. The clinical director is very inexperienced and out of touch with addiction and mental health treatment.TCC in Fair Lawn will do nothing to accommodate schedules or mental health diagnosis due to compliance issues that seem to be redefined every week. Even if you have a long and documented history of needing some kind of accommodation or have a busy work schedule as I do. Medication seems to be filled when they see fit. And I did not once feel like a human being while I was there. I felt like an insurance check that was not being heard.It disgusts me that places like this exist and take it from an expert, if you have the insurance to do it, go to Bluecrest or NJRC or any other Counseling Center because the Counseling Center at Fair Lawn executes practices that are unethical and should be illegal. Going there was one of the worst decisions I ve made in recovery and I will not speak for others, but I ve heard that rhetoric all around Bergen County. I would listen to the reviews that are already posted here or mine.

Hi Brynne, Thank you for your feedback. We want you to know we value all feedback but do feel the need to clear up a couple of your comments. We can certainly empathize with groups, on occasion, feeling monotonous or just plain boring some days. However, as mundane as it may seem, getting through those times helps us learn how to deal with dull tasks in our everyday lives, whether its personal, professional etc. Our staff are all carefully vetted and qualified to be working with this delicate population of those struggling with substance use and/or mental health disorders. While we do follow certain guidelines, as determined by state and governing bodies, we aren't sure what compliance/legal/unethical issues you're referring to. Feel free to give us a call to discuss this specifically so we can clear up any misunderstandings in that regard. Again, thank you for your feedback and we wish you all the best!

Went there for help voluntarily. No legal issues, no court orders. Just looking for a good therapist. Choosing the Fair lawn counseling center was one of the worst decisions I've ever made in my life.
