About American Habitare and Counseling, Inc.

This addiction treatment center helps individuals overcome addiction through four different treatment programs. Each of these programs is discussed below to help potential clients determine which best suits their recovery needs:

The outpatient treatment program offered by American Habitare and Counseling offers holistic treatment. Those enrolled in this program will work with a credentialed counselor to create an individualized recovery treatment program involving weekly individual and group counseling and therapy. In addition, family therapy is also an option for those who need it.

Those who require extra help with recovering from drug and alcohol use have access to medication-assisted treatment with FDA-approved medications at this rehab center. Individuals involved in the MAT program will undergo therapy to assist with uncomfortable cravings and withdrawal while receiving medications.

It’s also worth noting that the team in charge of this addiction treatment center’s MAT is made up of trained nurses and doctors with extensive experience in substance abuse addiction and recovery.

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at the American Habitare and Counseling rehab center focuses on providing individuals with a supported and structured environment to promote long-term recovery. This IOP offers individual and group counseling with multiple sessions held weekly. Those who attend this IOP can expect to be counseled by a credentialed therapist with extensive addiction treatment knowledge.

Those looking for an alternative to inpatient treatment should consider a partial care program like the one offered by this addiction treatment center. The partial care program provides intensive treatment in a structured environment, with individuals expected to attend sessions for five hours daily, two to five times a week.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Clients who are exiting inpatient rehab, those who are experiencing crisis, and those who prefer to live at home while in treatment typically enroll in intensive inpatient programs (IOP). These programs feature frequent and robust care, generally requiring clients to participate in at least nine hours of care weekly, though many intensive outpatient rehabs offer up to 20 treatment hours per week. IOP services typically combine individual, group, and family counseling with recovery education and holistic therapies.

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.

Clinical Services

Family therapy sessions address addiction related conflicts and other issues between members of the family unit. By strengthening communication and coping skills, as well as creating a nurturing environment, the family can help support their loved one's recovery.

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.

I was denied entry to the clinic at 12:01 PM, citing the clinic's closing time as 12:00 PM. I work 30 minutes away and have a break from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM. I usually make it a few minutes before closing, which I've repeatedly explained to the clinic staff. But today, the security guard said he had received strict instructions from the administration that no patients should enter after 12:00 PM. Perhaps it's worth reminding you that you're not handing out candy, but rather providing important medications to the clinic's patients. Without these medications, patients experience withdrawal symptoms and symptoms such as severe muscle and joint pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hand tremors, shaking, and cramps. Thank God I have a car, but I often see people running late because the bus is a few minutes late and they have to leave empty-handed. This is an inhumane and disgusting way to treat your patients. Imagine breaking your nose or a tooth, but the doctor closes the door in your face and tells you to come back tomorrow because it's already 12:01. Good luck surviving that night.

Response from the owner
Julia, my apologies for the enforcement on this policy. There are times we can accommodate after closing hours. However, this is not always the case.
