About Vantage Health System
Vantage Health System in Englewood, New Jersey, is a mental health and addiction recovery facility providing integrated care to all ages. It is a registered non profit. Physicians on site may prescribe medication assisted treatment (MAT) for people experiencing opioid or alcohol addiction. They have gender separate programs and specialized services for people with co-occurring addiction and mental illness.
If you need higher intensity treatment without hospitalization you might enroll in their day treatment program. You can engage in individual, group, family, and couples counseling and recovery education.
They also offer life skills training to help you build a healthy and happy life free of drugs and alcohol. This might include vocational training and social skills support to prepare you to reintegrate into your home, community, and the workforce.
Their case management services promote a model of recovery that supports the whole person, including your physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social, and financial wellbeing.
I like that they offer services in multiple languages. Drug screenings and medication management are available. They also have related high risk behavior prevention programs that address compulsive behaviors like gambling.
Their services are also designed to support the special recovery needs of young people. Individual and group counseling is available for adolescents, young adults, and even children. Kids can learn important emotional skills to help them manage their feelings, deal with stress and anger, and regulate their behaviors.
Adults can also learn to resolve past traumas and cope with addiction triggers. This in turn helps to reduce the risk of relapse and support the client’s overall health and happiness.

Levels of Care
Outpatient
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.

Treatment
Alcoholism
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 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 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.
Clinical Services
Group 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.
Individual 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.
Couples 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 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.
