About Resolve Community Counseling Center

Resolve Community Counseling Center started up in 1974. The center is a nonprofit mental health agency for affordable and evidence based counseling. They’re in Scotch Plains, New Jersey.

Services are provided for individuals, couples, families and children across Union County and beyond. They serve all ages and address a wide range of challenges including anxiety, depression, substance use, family conflicts and behavioral issues.

The center offers low cost services on a sliding scale and they also accept Medicaid and private insurance. They also provide teletherapy for statewide access as they are committed to accessibility.

Accessible Services

What stood out to me is that they have a team of 14 master’s and doctoral level clinicians that include psychologists, social workers and licensed counselors. You’ll have personalized care that will be under the supervision of a licensed psychologist.

The services you can receive include individual, couples and family counseling. You will also have access to parent education, therapeutic visitations and psychological evaluations for clinical and forensic purposes.

Outpatient Addiction Treatment

They provide non-intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment, drug and alcohol evaluations, prevention programs and support groups tailored to community needs. Their specialized programs focus on anger management, peer relations support and trauma therapy. They use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)and integrated dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders.

Effective Care

I like that they have a high staff to client ratio which ensures personalized attention, fostering trust and long term improvement. They collaborate with local schools, family courts and community organizations. Clients praise the warm and professional environment by noting the staff’s empathy and effectiveness.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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.

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.

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.

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.

Programs

Adult Program
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-adult-program thumbnail image
Young Adult Program
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

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

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.

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.

Dr. Debbie Ferro has been my therapist for over 5 years and it feels like I have known her for much longer. I first saw her for severe anxiety to the point I was on so many medications I thought I would never be "normal" again. After the first meeting, I was already feeling comfortable and calmer. After one week in her care, I was able to stop medication and was on the road to better health. Throughout the years I found myself doubting if I could ever follow my dream to become a medical professional due to my overwhelming anxiety. Dr. Ferro never gave up on me and guided me through some of the worst and best moments in my life. She never missed a phone call, canceled an appt or ever doubted me. She pushed me to keep moving forward. Thanks to her, I wouldn't be where I am today...As a Physician Assistant, I cannot thank this woman enough for getting my life back. She has been a longterm mentor, motherly figure and above all an exceptional friend. From the bottom of my heart, I believe everyone should have a "Dr. Debbie Ferro" in their life. She saved me and I am forever grateful!

This place is a joke ! My brother paid for their services and it took them almost a year for only 2 interviews. Dr F never follows up with her clients. The receptionist David is useless as they come ! He will literally tell you that he will follow up with Dr F and will notify you with an answer and he’ll never call you. I advise looking elsewhere.

Response from the ownerInvalid relative date format:
Dear Sean,<br>I am the executive director of Resolve Community Counseling Center. It sounds like your brother was referred to us by family court for a forensic evaluation. Our ability to carry out such evaluations depends on cooperation from all parties involved. We can only get started once everyone is on board, and ongoing cooperation from all parties is necessary. I am sorry about your brother's frustrations with his case. We take our clients' well-being very seriously. We help many, but court cases are the hardest. Please have your brother reach out to me if there is anything I can do, at ResolveCCC@aol.com.<br>Lidia D. Abrams, PhD
