Online & In-Person Outpatient Addiction Treatment in New Jersey

New Jersey faces significant challenges with substance use disorders, with rates consistently higher than national averages.

• The state’s overdose death rate is 53% higher than the national average
• More than seven New Jersey residents die from an overdose each day
• Opioids are involved in nearly 90% of all overdose deaths
• Approximately 464,000 residents experienced substance use disorder in the past year

Eleanor Health recognizes these challenges and provides accessible, evidence-based treatment to help our community members overcome addiction. Whether you’re struggling with alcohol use, opioid dependency, or other substance use disorders, our treatment programs are designed to address both addiction and any co-occurring mental health conditions that may impact recovery.

Different stages of recovery may require different levels of care. Addiction treatment centers offer several options to match your specific needs and circumstances:

Inpatient treatment centers provide 24/7 medical care in a hospital setting, which is often necessary for drug and alcohol detox or when more intensive support is needed.

Residential rehab facilities offer a structured living environment with full-time therapeutic programming for those who benefit from around-the-clock support.

As an outpatient treatment provider, Eleanor Health offers flexible care that works around your daily life, allowing you to maintain work and family commitments while receiving treatment.

While we specialize in outpatient services, we understand everyone’s journey is different. If you need a higher level of care first, we’ll help connect you with trusted providers who can support you through those early stages of recovery.

Outpatient programming offers several levels of care within a comprehensive continuum of care. Each level provides a different intensity of treatment to match individual needs:

• Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) offer the most structured environment, with treatment sessions running several hours per day, multiple days per week.
• Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) provide a balanced approach, typically meeting 2-3 times per week for several hours each session.
• Standard outpatient care involves regular appointments that work around daily commitments.

Your care team will continuously evaluate your progress and adjust the level of care accordingly. This flexible approach ensures appropriate support at every recovery stage while accommodating work, family, and personal responsibilities.

Your recovery journey deserves a treatment approach that’s as unique as you are. That’s why our interdisciplinary team combines evidence-based therapies with personalized support to help you heal and grow. We offer proven behavioral therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to build emotional regulation skills, and family therapy to strengthen your support system. Combined with Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), these therapeutic approaches help you develop practical life skills, manage stress, and build a strong foundation for lasting recovery. Whether you choose virtual or in-person care at our New Jersey locations, you’ll have access to both individual therapy sessions and support groups, creating an individualized care experience in a structured environment.

Co-occurring mental health disorders happen when someone experiences both a substance use disorder and mental health concerns at the same time. Research suggests that more than 40% of people with a substance use disorder also have a co-occurring disorder. Common examples include:

• Depression or anxiety alongside alcohol abuse
• PTSD combined with substance abuse
• Bipolar disorder with drug abuse
• Attention deficit disorders with substance abuse

Co-occurring disorders often influence each other, which is why treating both simultaneously through our integrated approach leads to better outcomes. Many people find that addressing underlying mental health disorders is a crucial part of their recovery journey.

At Eleanor Health, we understand that your recovery process needs to work seamlessly with your daily life. That’s why we’ve created a unique approach that combines both virtual and in-person outpatient care. Your treatment team will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan that offers the best of both worlds: the personal connection of face-to-face visits and the convenience of online sessions. This flexible approach not only enhances the quality of care but also makes treatment more accessible and affordable.

Relapse prevention is an essential part of our treatment plan. We combine medication management, counseling services, group therapy, and skill-building to help you identify and manage triggers effectively. Our clinical team works collaboratively with you to develop a comprehensive relapse prevention plan that encompasses early warning sign recognition, proven stress management techniques, and healthy coping strategies. This personalized plan also includes detailed crisis planning and ensures you have continuous access to our supportive alumni program. Through this integrated approach, we empower you with the tools and support network needed to maintain long-term recovery and effectively navigate challenges along your journey.

Our comprehensive approach to opioid addiction treatment combines several evidence-based practices:

• Medication-assisted treatment using FDA-approved medications to manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms
• Individual counseling to address underlying causes and develop coping strategies
• Group therapy sessions for peer support and shared learning
• Regular check-ins with your dedicated treatment team
• Mental health support for co-occurring conditions
• Case management to coordinate your care and recovery needs

We understand that recovery from opioid use disorder looks different for everyone. That’s why we create flexible, personalized treatment plans that evolve with your progress. Our long-term support includes relapse prevention strategies and ongoing connection to our recovery community, ensuring you have the tools and support needed for sustained recovery.

At Eleanor Health, we take a whole-person approach to alcohol addiction recovery. Our comprehensive treatment program includes:

• Evidence-based behavioral therapies
• Medication management when appropriate
• Individual and group counseling sessions
• Trauma-informed mental health treatment
• Case management services
• Music therapy and expressive therapies
• Connection to local recovery community
• Aftercare planning

Our experienced team creates a personalized recovery program that combines these services to address both the physical and emotional aspects of alcohol addiction. We understand that recovery looks different for everyone, which is why we offer flexible programming that adapts to your specific needs while providing consistent support and structure throughout your recovery journey.

Medical detox is often a crucial first step in addiction recovery, providing supervised care during withdrawal from drugs or alcohol. Since withdrawal can be dangerous, clinical staff monitor patients 24/7 and may use FDA-approved medications to manage symptoms safely.

While we don’t provide medical detox services or residential care at our facility, our admissions team can help coordinate these services with trusted partners when needed. We work closely with local providers to ensure a smooth transition into our outpatient care once you’re ready.

Family therapy is a vital component of our outpatient treatment programs because addiction affects the entire family system. Through guided educational sessions, families learn to understand addiction, repair relationships, and create a supportive environment for recovery. We help identify and improve family dynamics that may impact recovery, while teaching practical skills that strengthen communication and trust in everyday life.

Our family counseling program helps both the person in recovery and their loved ones navigate the recovery journey together, leading to better outcomes and stronger support systems. We offer flexible scheduling options to ensure families can participate while managing other responsibilities.
