About Integrity House Secaucus Inpatient, Residential, and Outpatient

The form of care staff members place a client in will depend on the severity of the addiction. The short term residential program provides intensive treatment for substance use and co-occurring disorders. Intensive treatment usually requires several hours of individual and group counseling sessions throughout the week. Long term residential treatment is intended for men and women who have had a history of chronic relapse. These programs may involve an increased amount of hours in counseling sessions throughout the week and a stay that can last several months. After completion of the program, clients are typically downgraded to a less intensive form of treatment.

The halfway house program provides assistance with re-entering the community, sustaining sobriety and repairing family relationships. Halfway houses are generally considered a bridge between rehabilitation and being able to live an independent life again. They provide assistance in securing the stable employment clients need to financially support themselves.

My Honest Experience at Integrity House in Secaucus I normally don’t write long reviews, but my experience at Integrity House in Secaucus pushed me to speak up. Everything I’m about to say is based on my personal experience during my time there, and others can judge for themselves. But for me, this place was nothing like what I expected from a rehab that’s supposed to help people rebuild their lives. First, the overall environment felt dirty and poorly maintained. Clients are expected to handle almost everything, from cleaning to day-to-day tasks, and in my experience that means most things don’t get done properly or consistently. It doesn’t feel like a professional facility — it feels like the clients are running the building with very little oversight. The food situation, in my opinion, was one of the worst parts. The portion sizes were incredibly small, to the point where I constantly felt underfed. It felt like they were stretching the meals as thin as possible. I’ve never been in a place where grown adults are given such limited portions and expected to function normally on it. Then there’s the issue with protein shakes. Staff insisted they could cause false positives, which to me made absolutely no sense and felt like an excuse rather than a real policy grounded in science. It became one more thing they tried to control for no logical reason. The gym, if you can even call it that, was a disappointment. The equipment was dirty, outdated, and barely functional. There were no free weights at all, making it basically useless for anyone who actually works out. It felt like wasted space — a box with equipment that looks like it was pulled out of a storage unit from 20 years ago. What really bothered me, though, was how the place operates when you’re on drug court, parole, or any kind of legal supervision. In my experience, it didn’t matter if you followed every rule, stayed out of trouble, and did everything exactly as asked. If you weren’t constantly bending over backward to please certain staff or “play the game,” you could still be pushed toward a halfway house or punished in ways that made no sense. It felt less like support and more like control. What really pushed me over the edge was the therapy — or honestly, the lack of it. I barely received any real therapy the entire time I was there. Most of the so-called “sessions” were group meetings where nothing productive happened. There was nothing individualized, nothing deep, nothing that actually helps someone recover or understand themselves. It felt like they slapped the word “therapy” on random group gatherings and called it a day. No actual counseling, no real treatment plans, no meaningful one-on-one support. For a place that’s supposed to be about mental health and recovery, it was a complete joke. The halfway house is an even bigger joke. Overall, my experience made the whole place feel like a money-driven system, not a treatment facility focused on helping people recover. I never felt like the clients’ well-being came first. In my opinion, the program needs serious oversight, reform, and accountability. Places like this shouldn’t operate the way this one does, especially when people are vulnerable and trying to rebuild their lives. This is my honest review based on my time there. I truly hope things change, because the way it’s run now, from my perspective, doesn’t help people — it just processes them.

Im reading all these reviews, it's sad because I was at this program in 2017, & 2020, I went to short term and long term and It was the only program I have attended in my life, that after I left I had the most sober time. It's a therapeutic community, it's meant to break you down to build you back up. That was the type of program I needed. I thought I knew everything.. I thought my entitlement and self will would continue to manipulate everyone I came across in my life... just so I can get one more. Integrity House helped me gain the trust of my family again.. be with my nieces and nephews.. and become humble, and willing to be open to change my life. It's not a resort, it's a behavioral program.. it's purpose is for you to be uncomfortable to become more comfortable with yourself again sober & live life without the use of alcohol & drugs. Idk about anyone else's journey but in mine, I lost everything, I was homeless, sleeping on benches, parking lots, cars, hotels, trap houses, not eating for days.. i was a full blown drug addict. Crack and Dope became a part of me. So anything I ate and received when I was in the program I was grateful for.. Idk if the program has changed since I have been there, and if it has that's a shame because it helped me change my life. The only thing I will say was my counselor was new, and in experienced at the time. and it is hard to get in touch with clients depending on who your counselor is. & Ms. Kristin if she is still there, wasn't a huge help to me. When, I had Ms. Kate she was tough and real & compassionate.... And told me about myself and that's exactly what I needed, because my attitude sucked... I unfortunately, had a relapse recently and currently almost done with treatment in another rehab, & im doing very well now.. thank God. & remember it's a state run facility.. & a therapeutic community. Their are other private insurances that provide other rehabs like Recovery Villiage, RCA, Pinelands, etc. If you are looking for structure but not a TC that may be a better fit for sum people. But if you are interested in Integrity House, I'd highly recommend it. But your gonna have to face alot of the stuff you used or drank over. If you aren't ready to humble yourself and deal with your pain or anger 💯 character defects, IH isn't the place for you. I owe them my life, even though I messed up recently, integrity helped me remain sober for close to 4 1/2 years

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.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

Clients in a rehab aftercare program have typically completed detox and intensive inpatient and are medically stable. These programs are designed to address addiction recovery as a life-long process. Outpatient counseling and recovery education are typically categorized as drug rehab aftercare, but many clients continue to receive support after being discharged from formal outpatient treatment. Case managers and recovery teams facilitate clients' access to peer coaching, career counseling, 12 step program induction, and related services.

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).

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Place has hella mice and roaches, they don’t have alternative options when it comes to foods that people may not eat, they also give you small portions of food that’s not enough to fill a toddler up, they have a revolving door of counselors meaning they’re either quitting or being fired for not doing their job, it’s always short staffed, people constantly come in to the program and still get high, there’s a lot of favoritism towards certain clients, honestly, this place is probably the worst rehab in all of New Jersey.
