Reviews at a Glance
- Drug Detox, Alcohol Detox
Our state-of-the-art drug detox center is located in New Brunswick, NJ. Here we provide medically monitored detox and withdrawal management for drugs and alcohol. A stay in our detox typically lasts 5-7 days and helps individuals recover from their habitual drug use in a safe, welcoming, and modern facility. As addictive substances begin to clear from the body withdrawal symptoms begin to manifest, often in severe ways. Our detox program works to manage the withdrawal process. We monitor and treat our clients so they can go through the detoxification process as comfortably and safely as possible.
- Dual Diagnosis Treatment
In co-occurring cases, the mental health disorder tends to be the underlying problem while substance abuse manifests itself as a symptom of that problem. That’s why our team at SOBA New Jersey knows that treatment of both mental health and substance abuse disorders is critical to a client’s successful recovery. A dual diagnosis requires specific treatment outside the realms of traditional addiction treatment centers. The team at SOBA New Jersey is uniquely qualified to treat co-occurring disorders. We are experts in understanding the specific psychological problems and addictive behaviors our clients exhibit and it is with this understanding that we can properly treat both disorders extensively to facilitate a full, comprehensive recovery. Assessing Individuals With A Dual Diagnosis Individuals that enter our treatment program undergo thorough assessments and evaluations. This allows our team to see exactly what their treatment plan will require. It also highlights any co-occurring issues that our treatment plan will need to address. Our team repeats these assessments at specific checkpoints throughout treatment to continually monitor for underlying mental health disorders. Our evaluation process makes sure every client receives the care required.
