Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) is intended for patients who require ongoing support for addiction recovery and mental health counseling. Dissimilar to residential treatment programs, you’ll go home following therapy at our outpatient facility. Our program lets you fulfill your usual responsibilities while still obtaining treatment for mental disorders and alcohol or drug use.

The abundance of individuals who begin IOP here have previously completed detox and inpatient residential programs. Now they’re prepared to work on issues more thoroughly through therapy to address the mental element of drug and alcohol use. The Counseling Center West Caldwell conducts different types of intensive outpatient care dependent on where you are in your recovery. Following a medical evaluation, we design a customized plan of treatment tailored to your needs. At this point, you’ll begin attending different therapy appointments weekly led by our experienced counselors. While you’re in therapy, you’ll see how to live without drugs or alcohol and how to handle any mental disorders that led to substance use in the first place.

Since we focus our treatments for individual patients, The Counseling Center at West Caldwell utilizes different therapy techniques to accommodate each person’s specialized requirements. Despite this fact, almost all patients attend a mix of individual, group, and family therapy.

All forms of therapy are directed by certified clinicians who are trained to help you. Throughout treatment, you may discuss topics like:

  • How disorders -- including bipolar, trauma, and anxiety disorder -- lead to alcohol and drug use 
  • Post-acute withdrawal syndrome · Relapse prevention skills 
  • The benefits of 12-Step programs in recovery 
  • Coping methods for families during substance use recovery

 

Additionally, you’ll obtain treatment for any mental health or co-occurring disorders that prompted drug or alcohol use. Depending on your unique diagnosis, you could experience:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy
  • Dialectical behavioral therapy
  • Trauma-informed therapy
  • Motivational interviewing

 

There’s no single response for this due to the fact that every patient has distinct recovery objectives and advances through our substance use and mental health therapy at a different pace. Quite a few individuals attend treatment for eight weeks while others maintain their treatment for three years or longer. And, naturally, you are encouraged to enroll again as often as you like.

No, our IOP program does not include detox or inpatient rehab services. If you are uncertain if you need one of these options in advance of exploring outpatient care at The Counseling Center, you may contact 973-453-0808. A staff member will respond promptly and provide guidance on how to find the care you require at an inpatient facility.

Inpatient and outpatient treatments are different levels of care. At inpatient care, you stay in a residential facility with access to support 24/7. Inpatient options provide you a safe location to step away from outside influences and get persistent assistance while you detox or recover from alcohol or drugs or are at risk of suffering a relapse when in rehab.

Outpatient care is suitable once you have moved forward to a point in your recovery that you don’t need constant direction or medical care. Outpatient facilities help you remain sober with support groups and therapy while letting you attend to your daily responsibilities. You could attend treatment various days every week but live at home as you continue to work to enduring sobriety.

The Counseling Center West Caldwell is a secular entity. Even though we feel that your personal religious and spiritual beliefs may contribute to substance use recovery, our treatment isn’t based on any single belief system.

We feel the 12-step approach to counseling is helpful for quite a few people. Our facility utilizes a number of facets of 12-step programs, such as stressing the importance of group therapy in our treatment. We also host 12-step meetings on our premises, and a majority of our patients engage in these. With that in mind, our focus is to always supply personalized care for your unique requirements.

We strongly recommend family participation in therapy, and even offer weekly family support groups. Our skilled family counselors will help you and your loved ones:

 

  • Improve your understanding of substance use and mental health disorders 
  • Deal with the stress of drug and alcohol recovery 
  • Improve communication skills 
  • Work through concerns 
  • Identify co-dependency tendencies 
  • Restore trust 
  • Learn how to support each other

 

Your family members may choose to start by joining us for a family education group. These discussions are conducted every Wednesday evening and supply families information about being there for someone you care about in drug or alcohol recovery.

The first step in starting drug and alcohol therapy in West Caldwell is to contact us at 973-453-0808 to make an appointment for an evaluation. This appointment will help us understand your medical history and where you are in your substance use recovery.
