Middlesex County, NJ, offers the following drug addiction treatment options:

Inpatient Addiction Treatment

​

Inpatient rehabs, also known as residential drug treatment facilities, are intense because you live at the rehab center until your treatment program is over. Inpatient rehabs occur in a safe and sober environment, removing all drug use and triggering distractions. Additionally, people with co-occurring disorders may also benefit from inpatient care.

Outpatient Programs

​

Visualize outpatient programs as a step down from residential rehabs. They are like a bridge connecting and transitioning an individual from inpatient rehab to aftercare services. Some people who can't afford residential rehabs may also opt for outpatient programs or people with tight responsibilities like work, family, education, or finances.

You may attend outpatient programs for a few hours daily, but the treatment and therapies offered are also very effective for treating addiction. However, even when these programs are effective, you should create a support network to help you avoid drug relapse when not attending the rehab center.

Partial Hospitalization Programs

​

Partial hospitalization programs are part of outpatient care and serve as a bridge between outpatient and inpatient rehab. PHPs offer therapies similar to those in residential programs; however, they are ideal for people with:

​

• A strong support network

• Transportation to and from the center

• Supportive home environment

• You don't need medical care

Partial Hospitalization Programs last 4 to 5 days weekly, for several hours daily. Treatment involves behavioral therapy, relapse prevention education, medication management, and more. After rehab, you should attend support groups like 12-step programs.

Clinical Approaches and Psychotherapies

​

Different rehab centers employ varying clinical approaches and specialties like dual diagnosis, evidence-based programs, 12-step programs, mental health treatments, psychotherapies, and more. Once your doctor evaluates your condition, you work together to create a treatment plan that will suit your unique needs.
