Drug and Alcohol Treatment Options in Atlantic County, NJ

It may not be easy for you to seek treatment for different reasons, including; withdrawal symptoms, fear of the cost of treatment, and many other personal causes. Many evidence-based treatment methods work and assure you of full recovery. The following are a few examples;

Medical Detox

This is the first intervention you receive at the beginning of treatment. Detox is the process of removing drugs and alcohol from your bloodstream. Medical detox, as the name implies, involves slowly weaning your bloodstream drugs using FDA-approved medications.

A  professional medical team uses medicines and therapies to help you by calming the physical and psychological distress caused by withdrawal from substances or alcohol.

Residential Inpatient

You may not be ready to receive further treatment at home after medical detox. Therefore a live-in treatment option, i.e., inpatient/residential rehab, assures your continuation of a well-organized and planned treatment plan, making your recovery much more manageable.

Besides the medicines you use to curb withdrawal symptoms, you also attend individual and group therapies. Recovery programs differ from one individual to the next due to each patient’s unique addiction problems. Depending on your addiction-related issues, you may spend a few weeks or more, including if you have a co-occurring mental health disorder.

Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHPs)

You may go home or a sober living home but attend intense treatment sessions for a few hours each day for the scheduled treatment period. Your doctor may recommend this type of treatment if you are medically stable to live at home; this method allows you to benefit further from the relatively intense supervision, structure, and guidance provided during treatment hours by equipping you with the skills you need to stop using drugs.

Some of the services included in PHPs include but aren’t limited to;

  • Individual and group therapy.

  • Psychiatric sessions.

  • Family therapy.

  • Treatment planning.

  • Substance abuse education and coping mechanisms.

  • Medication management.

  • Recreational and social services.

Outpatient Rehabs & Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs)

After the drug has been weaned from your body, the next step is staying sober; it’s not easy because you may relapse into your old habits if you don’t get the necessary support. You can live at home but attend individual and group therapy when you schedule with your health care provider. 

SAMHSA reports that IOPs provide at least 9 hours of therapy weekly delivered in 3-hour sessions.

This program offers you core services such as;

  • Group therapy includes skill development groups, interpersonal and psycho-educational groups, skill development groups, and stress management.

  • Relapse-prevention techniques.

  • Individual counseling.

  • Education about addiction.

  • Medication management and medical treatment.
