About Advanced Health and Education
You’ll get a complete continuum of outpatient care alighted with your evolving needs including intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and general outpatient (OP) programs. Clients can expect evaluation by trained clinicians to diagnose their condition accurately and then provide an effective, customized recovery plan. If you need inpatient detox or higher intensity residential care they can refer you to a trusted provider.
I like that they offer a wide range of holistic treatment options in addition to individual, group, and family therapy. You can engage in yoga, meditation, somatic experiencing, mindfulness, aromatherapy, and other holistic practices. They also offer access to chiropractic care.
The chances of recovery are multiplied beyond simply abstaining from drinking or drug use when addressing behavioral factors. Personality disorders, panic attacks, and depression may be driving the desire to engage in harmful or illicit substances.
Their robust aftercare services ensure that you’re never without support even after your formal treatment ends. Alumni have access to private social media support groups for continued encouragement and peer coaching to help them stay on course.
Past clients have praised how they organize and run the group counseling sessions. Others have said that the staff made them feel loved.

I came to this program voluntarily after flying from Michigan because I was struggling with severe overwhelm, burnout, autism/ADHD related issues, and emotional regulation, not substance abuse. To be fair, many of the staff I met after arriving were kind and genuinely trying to help. I also met some really great people there.
My main issue is with the admissions process and how the program was presented versus what it actually was once I arrived.
I was contacted around 2am and had a flight booked within 3 days. During admissions, the conversations felt very reassuring. The program was described like a place where I could decompress, stabilize mentally, and get supportive mental health care in a calmer environment. Looking back, I feel like the reality of the program was not clearly explained.
What wasn’t communicated well was the level of restriction, supervision, shared housing, lack of autonomy, and how group focused daily life would be. Once I arrived, it felt much more like a substance recovery environment than the mental health focused experience I thought I was agreeing to.
As someone with autism and sensory/autonomy related overwhelm, this became emotionally destabilizing very quickly. It wasn’t just about “having rules.” It was the sudden transition, constant group expectations, medication issues, lack of privacy, and realizing I had flown across the country into something very different from what I expected.
I communicated my concerns respectfully to staff and explained that I felt there had been a major misunderstanding about the type of program I was entering. I wasn’t trying to be difficult, I was trying to explain that the environment didn’t match my needs.
I also struggled badly with sleep because of an extremely loud snoring roommate situation, which added to my exhaustion and overwhelm. I requested a transfer almost immediately, within the first couple of days, but it took about a week for anything to be approved. During that time, it felt like my concerns weren’t really being taken seriously despite how clearly I was communicating how overwhelmed and exhausted I was becoming. By then, I had already realized I couldn’t continue staying there, and the thought of remaining longer was causing intense anxiety.
I’m not the only person who was misled by admissions versus reality. People seeking help deserve full transparency before leaving their support systems behind. I understand you need a paycheck, but it’s not fair to those innocent people reaching for help.
There were moments where I started questioning my own reality and instincts. Ironically, the moment I finally felt calmer was when I decided to leave. That alone told me this was not the right environment for me.
I chose to discharge myself because the environment was making me feel far worse instead of helping. As a voluntary adult, that decision was emotionally difficult, especially after traveling across the country believing I was entering a supportive mental health setting.
If you are seeking treatment mainly for mental health reasons, especially if you are autistic, highly sensory sensitive, or struggling with burnout and overwhelm, ask detailed questions before agreeing to go. But keep in mind nobody will take you serious either.
Ask about housing, supervision, freedom to leave, daily expectations, medication handling, discharge procedures, and whether the program is truly mental health focused versus recovery focused.
I wish I had been given a more honest picture before I got on a plane.
I got my own reality check, and a bit more trust issues created. But I did make a lot of friends! Girls in my house were amazing.

Great staff that cares for your individual growth and well being. Program is highly educational and teaches life skills that all can benefit from if you commit to applying them. The environment is open, friendly and supportive. You’ll meet others who at the very least have one thing in common with you - a desire to learn and better themselves. This was a great experience I’ll anchor to for the remainder of my life.
The sense of community you described is such an important part of the recovery journey. Being surrounded by others who share the same desire to improve and heal can make a lasting impact.
We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and are honored to know it’s something you’ll carry with you for years to come. Wishing you continued strength, success, and fulfillment moving forward, Christopher 🙂

Accepted Insurance
Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Advanced Health offers outpatient alcohol and drug rehab and treatment programs. One of the advantages to outpatient treatment is that it gives clients the opportunity to attend therapy sessions while maintaining the more significant aspects of “regular” life (like attending work, school, and living at home). Following IOP, or if a less intensive program is clinically recommend, clients may participate in non-intensive outpatient therapy, which includes: four hours of treatment per week, clients come in for two-hour sessions, twice per week.
Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). Intensive Outpatient Programs (“IOP”) include: nine hours of therapy each week, clients come in for three-hour sessions, three times per week, depending upon clinical recommendations and insurance arrangements, IOP may last up to 16 weeks.
Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
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).
Recovery is a continuing process, there is no cure for addiction. Continued support is essential to growth in recovery and to avoid relapse. Their counselors help clients develop a variety of aftercare strategies, including 12-step community support meetings, sober living homes, continued therapy sessions, ongoing monitoring, and sober life coaches. Studies show that an ongoing monitoring program after addiction treatment gives clients the greatest chance of maintaining abstinence from alcohol and other drugs. These services may be mandatory for clients in certain professions (like healthcare workers, pilots, and transportation workers). They offer these services through their Alumni Association and certified case managers.
Sober living homes are a common next step after graduating from a rehabilitation treatment program. Sober living provides a family-like atmosphere where residents have the opportunity to live among other recovering individuals. Many sober living homes have job programs to help find employment, and offer drug testing to ensure that housemates are clean and sober.
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
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.
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.
Treatments
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 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.
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.
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.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Clinical Services
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 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.
They offer programs for families of addicts and alcoholics at our rehab center in NJ. Family support can be a significant source of encouragement for people new in recovery. In their family therapy sessions, members discuss how they have been impacted by a loved one’s addiction and begin the work of resolving family issues so that the transition from treatment back to life can be made as smooth as possible.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). Clients participate in group counseling sessions, which helps them to develop a sense of community reliance in the struggle to get clean and sober. Their treatment groups foster growth and healing through their challenging but supportive treatment processes.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Each client works with an assigned counselor for individual therapy. The counselor helps identify and address the client’s underlying addiction drivers, provides relapse prevention strategies, and create a sustainable long-term recovery plan.
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.
For best results, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) should be combined with other methods to quit smoking. While NRT addresses physical dependence, other quit program elements are necessary to address emotional and mental dependence. Together, these supports can help you successfully quit tobacco for good.
Most experts in couples therapy are trained in several modes of treatment. This allows your therapist to draw from various techniques to personalize your therapy for your needs. This may include cognitive, emotional, and behavioral methods, which are all designed to help you strengthen your relationship.
Trauma therapy provides a structure to approach healing from past traumatic events that you may have witnessed or experienced. Your therapist will work with you to identify and process these memories. This helps promote a sense of safety and stability and helps you heal emotionally.
