About VA New Jersey Health Care System – Tinton Falls Community Based OP Clinic

The Tinton Falls VA Clinic supports veterans through a range of services designed to address their health and wellness needs. This outpatient facility is in Tinton Falls, New Jersey and provides primary care and various specialty services. This includes mental health, social support services and toxic exposure screening. The latter facilitates the identification of harmful substances you may have encountered during your military service.

This facility supports same day appointments, telehealth visits or walk-in express care for urgent health issues. You can even receive help with transportation to your appointment if you’re eligible for that. I also like that their services are very affordable with convenient funding options including Medicare, Medicaid and TRICARE. You can also fund your treatment through VA financial hardship assistance if you’re uninsured and having financial difficulties. Another remarkable thing is that you can potentially qualify for care even if you’re not enrolled in VA health care.

Their outpatient mental health services focus on helping you overcome psychiatric conditions like depression, anxiety and PTSD. It also addresses addictive behavior/substance use disorders and co-occurring conditions. A co-occurring disorder is when you’re dealing with both substance misuse and mental conditions. This facility equips you with the tools to tackle these conditions through individualized therapeutic interventions. Services are confidential and encompass consultation, evaluation/assessment and individual and group therapy.

The therapy group is based on clinically proven practice that enables you to tackle the negative emotions triggering your behavioral challenges including alcohol/drug misuse. You’ll learn to manage anger/stress better, resolve internal conflicts, communicate effectively and build healthy relationships. The goal is to help you develop robust coping strategies that prevent relapse and promote lasting sobriety.

The facility also offers beneficial social support services. From help with finances and housing to addressing treatment questions and feeling overwhelmed, their social workers are always ready to lend a hand. They can connect you to diverse community resources that support your recovery efforts and overall wellbeing. This includes home health services, transportation, medical aides and even employment or job placement. This can make for impressive recovery support after receiving treatment from the facility.

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.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

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).

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.

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.

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.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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. 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.

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.

Fitness Therapy

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

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.

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. 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.

nicotine iconNicotine Replacement Therapy

Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is a way of getting nicotine into the bloodstream without smoking. It uses products that supply low doses of nicotine to help people stop smoking. The goal of therapy is to cut down on cravings for nicotine and ease the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal.

Nutrition Therapy

Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.

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.

Waited an extremely long time even arrived early. Everyone who came in after went before us. Not sure we were even signed in. Also, receptionist at desk wasn t overly friendly when approached by my father, who is hard of hearing. This was my first experience coming with him. So far, not impressed.

Dr. Jyothi Asthana provides inadequate care and is unprofessional. She decided to try to remove my husbands community care and force him to go into VA facility's when he qualifies for community care and has had it for years. She thought it would be a good idea to leave a message on his phone informing him that community care does NOT EXIST and NOT to call patient advocacy. I called her back to inform her the proper information and why my husband qualifies, she continued to state community care does not exist and added an unethical note stating I wasn't listening and was rude on HIS health records. All I did was inform her the information she is providing is false, she didn't like being wrong. Patient advocacy informed us she is wrong and will be educated however she is now refusing to remove that note from his file. Feels like were getting nowhere with this issue. Please know community care DOES exist and you might qualify so if she tells you different request a different doctor that will actually care about your wellbeing since she does not.Update: After posting this review, my husband received a phone call from Dr. Jyothi Asthana screaming and fighting with him. Terrible doctor that is unprofessional and provides inadequate care.

The staff is very friendly and professional and the overall care is fine. However it is very difficult to get a reply from them or a simple form filled out. Talked to someone on the phone to have a form I needed filled out, told me send in the mail and they would inform when it is ready. Never heard from them a month later.

Impossible to get in touch with them over the phone. I have tried multiple extensions and they all go to voicemail, and then no one calls back. The facility in Lyons, NJ usually picks up after trying to get in touch with an operator, and even they can't get in touch with the Tinton Falls office.
