Adult Addiction Recovery

Behavioral Health Behavioral Health

Addiction is a treatable, chronic medical disease involving complex interactions among brain circuits, genetics, the environment, and an individual’s life experiences. Currently in New Jersey, the abuse of heroin and chemically related opioid prescription pain relievers is considered by many in the medical and law enforcement communities as the state’s number one public health problem.

Like any other chronic disease, addiction is most successfully managed with ongoing treatment. Our Adult Addiction Recovery Program includes outpatient programs designed to meet the unique needs of adults over age 18 who are suffering from substance abuse problems. This evidence-based treatment program is customized to help each patient on their road to recovery. 

Establishing a support system that promotes ongoing recovery and stability is a critical part of the process. We help patients learn how to build such a system and develop a variety of coping skills.
