Addiction treatment plays a vital role in Edison, New Jersey, where substance use disorders significantly impact our community. Recent data shows that Edison faces substantial challenges with both alcohol and opioid addiction. In Middlesex County, where Edison is located, alcohol use disorders account for 32% of treatment admissions, while heroin-related admissions make up 41%, reflecting the pressing need for comprehensive addiction treatment services in our area.

The impact is particularly notable among adults aged 35-44, with opioids and alcohol being the most commonly misused substances. At Eleanor Health, we’re committed to addressing these challenges by providing accessible, evidence-based treatment options that include medication-assisted treatment, counseling, and peer support services. Our integrated recovery programs helps community members overcome addiction while maintaining their daily responsibilities through flexible outpatient care.

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

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

Residential treatment programs 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 those early stages of recovery.

Outpatient rehab programs offer 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 stage of recovery 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 health 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 group support, creating a comprehensive personalized treatment 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 addresses both prescription drug dependency and illegal opioid use through evidence-based strategies:

• Medication-assisted treatment using FDA-approved medications to manage cravings and withdrawal symptoms
• Individual counseling to address underlying causes and develop coping skills
• 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
• Art therapy, music therapy, and expressive therapies
• Connection to local support groups
• Ongoing recovery support and aftercare planning

Our experienced team creates personalized treatment plans that combine 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 journey.

Medically supervised 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 detox programs or residential treatment 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 support 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.
