Opioids

Opioids such as the prescription painkillers oxycodone and hydrocodone serve as pain management tools, but they have strong potential for addiction. The wrong application of these substances can lead to dependence issues. The opioid crisis is a continuing public health emergency as overdoses caused by opioids continue to rise.

Alcohol

Alcohol represents one of the most commonly misused substances throughout the world. Excessive drinking, which is legal and socially acceptable, leads to liver damage, cognitive problems, and higher chances of developing mental health issues.

Benzodiazepines

Benzodiazepines, which include Xanax, Valium, and Ativan, serve as prescribed medications for managing anxiety and helping patients sleep. However, these medications are highly addictive when misused. The long-term use of these substances leads to dependence, mental decline, and withdrawal symptoms, which require medical treatment for effective management.

Fentanyl

The synthetic opioid Fentanyl is up to 100 times the strength of morphine.[1] The medication was first created to treat severe pain, but it has become a primary reason for fatal overdoses because of its strong potency. Even tiny amounts of fentanyl can be deadly when combined with other substances or when people take it in counterfeit pills.

Kratom

Kratom is a plant-based substance which generates stimulant and opioid-like effects that have made it widely recognized. The substance serves two purposes for some users who take it to alleviate pain and treat opioid withdrawal symptoms, but it creates dangers of substance dependence, liver problems, and various other medical issues.

Cocaine

Cocaine is a powerful stimulant drug that creates feelings of euphoria and increased energy. The substance produces brief effects that drive users to consume it again and again, which results in a strong potential for developing substance dependence. The consumption of these substances results in heart complications and mental health deterioration while producing intense physical and emotional addiction.

Meth

Meth is a highly addictive stimulant that affects the central nervous system. The substance creates brief periods of extreme happiness, which leads to severe damage to both physical and mental wellness.

Crack

Crack is a smokable form of cocaine that delivers an intense but short-lived high. The substance creates intense addiction while leading to multiple dangerous health complications, which include respiratory problems, heart damage, and fast deterioration of physical and mental health.

Heroin

Heroin is an illegal opioid derived from morphine. The substance is highly addictive. Because users inject it, heroin use leads to higher risks of contracting HIV and hepatitis C. The use of heroin produces severe physical, mental, and social damage to users, while overdose remains a permanent danger.

Mental Health Treatment

Mental health conditions — from anxiety and depression to bipolar disorder and PTSD — touch every community in New Jersey. Recent estimates show that about 1.39 million adults in the state – roughly one in five – live with a mental illness, and 366,000 experience a serious mental illness each year. [1] These numbers underscore why mental health treatment for New Jersey residents needs to be accessed quickly and is a public-health priority.

Depression

Comprehensive mental health treatment for depression in New Jersey typically merges cognitive behavioral therapy, medication management, and mindfulness-based activities such as yoga or art. Flexible intensive outpatient schedules allow individuals to stabilize their mood and rebuild daily routines without pausing careers or school obligations

Anxiety

Anxiety care often pairs CBT or DBT with exposure and mindfulness practices to retrain anxious thought loops. Outpatient programs deliver small-group sessions, individual coaching, and medication oversight, giving adolescents and adults practical coping skills that translate to real-world stressors across New Jersey workplaces and campuses.

PTSD

Evidence-based PTSD treatment layers trauma-focused therapies (e.g., EMDR) with CBT, group processing, and somatic supports such as breathwork. Intensive outpatient frameworks maintain family contact while helping survivors regulate arousal, reduce flashbacks, and restore a sense of safety.

Bipolar

Stabilizing bipolar disorder calls for coordinated medication management, psychoeducation, and mood-tracking CBT or DBT groups. Partial Care or intensive outpatient schedules offer daily monitoring without inpatient stays, promoting sleep hygiene, balanced routines, and sustainable well-being.

Co-Occurring Disorders

When mental illness co-exists with substance use, integrated dual diagnosis plans treat both together. Clinicians combine evidence-based psychotherapy, medication-assisted treatment when indicated, and relapse prevention groups across intensive outpatient and outpatient levels, reducing triggers and supporting long-term wellness.

Gambling Addiction

Treatment for gambling addiction focuses on impulse-control CBT, DBT-derived distress-tolerance skills, and peer-led recovery groups. Financial counseling and family therapy address debt and relationship fallout, while flexible outpatient schedules reinforce new habits.

Tech Addiction

Tech-related compulsions respond to structured digital-use contracts, CBT targeting reward loops, and experiential therapies like yoga, art, or mindful walking. Clinicians engage family systems to set boundaries, while outpatient groups rebuild offline social skills.

Food Addiction

Food addiction care blends nutritional counseling, mindful-eating training, and CBT to interrupt binge-restrict cycles. Group therapy provides accountability, while individual sessions explore trauma, anxiety, or mood drivers, all within an adaptable outpatient framework.

Sex and Love Addiction

Recovery from sex and love addiction employs CBT and attachment-informed therapy, teaching boundary-setting, trigger recognition, and relapse-prevention skills. Process groups foster peer accountability, while intensive outpatient schedules protect privacy and maintain daily responsibilities.
