Substance use disorder is a significant issue in New Jersey. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, 6.57% of 12-17-year-olds reported using drugs in the last month. 19.2% of 18-25 year olds were more likely to do drugs than other Americans in their age group.
The question is, what can we do to remedy the issue? BlueCrest’s substance abuse treatment in New Jersey can help. This article will outline what to expect.
Understanding Substance Abuse and Addiction Treatment in New Jersey
To treat addiction successfully, you must understand it.
Dependency issues are typically tied to mental health. For example, a 2000 study reveals the connection between anxiety and alcohol use disorders.
People use drugs and alcohol to numb depression and anxiety tied to emotional disorders, but often find themselves on a downward spiral. Substances interfere with brain chemistry, reduce emotional regulation, and cause issues in personal and professional relationships, adding to stress.
A successful alcohol addiction treatment program will begin by addressing the physical bonds of dependency with medical detox. Then it will provide mental health treatment, focusing on drug addiction at its root.
Our Treatment and Support Services
BlueCrest’s New Jersey drug addiction treatment centers integrate mental health services, detox, and therapy, utilizing the following approaches.
Detox and Medical Care
Detox is typically the first step of a rehab treatment plan, and it can also be the most difficult. Patients experience withdrawal symptoms that make them want to go back to using drugs. Providers integrate a medical approach to reduce symptoms and cravings. Their oversight also ensures relapse prevention and reduces the risk of complications.
Outpatient Services
After patients complete our residential or outpatient detox, they move on to our outpatient addiction services, which often follow a step-down approach, as follows:
- Partial Care: Typically, the primary form of treatment, this involves therapy to address co-occurring disorders, 6-8 hours a day. People return home at night. Evening programs are also available.
- Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP): After partial care is completed, patients move on to IOP, continuing to see a therapist 3-5 times a week.
- Outpatient Treatment: During the final step of the recovery journey, patients continue seeing therapists once a week or on an as-needed basis.
Aftercare
Our continuum of care supports long-term recovery. We follow our patients’ recovery journeys, providing them with healthy-living recommendations to support sobriety. Our team of clinical professionals offers compassionate treatment, from detox to therapy and beyond.
