Our Hoboken, NJ, Drug & Alcohol Treatment Program
At Guardian Recovery in Hoboken, NJ, our drug and alcohol rehab provides a crucial first step in the journey toward overcoming substance misuse.
Guardian IOP for substance use disorders features a comprehensive, integrated treatment approach that includes a wide range of therapeutic services. Our offerings include group therapy, individual counseling, family therapy, and diverse recovery workshops, along with specialized clinical services tailored to each client’s needs. We also provide Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) as needed to reduce cravings and foster relapse prevention.
At its core, our program supports a gradual return to everyday life, with dedicated clinical staff and a compassionate recovery community supporting clients every step of the way. Although we usually suggest starting our IOP after inpatient treatment, direct entry might be suitable for some clients, such as those who have completed medical detox or are beginning their recovery independently.
Alcohol Use DisorderÂ
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a medical condition that results in a diminished ability to limit or manage alcohol consumption, even when it leads to negative social, occupational, or health outcomes. This disorder includes what is commonly referred to as alcohol misuse, dependence, and addiction.Â
AUD is recognized as a brain disorder and can range from mild to severe. The persistent brain changes caused by excessive alcohol consumption contribute to AUD and increase the risk of relapse. But regardless of the severity, evidence-based treatments, including behavioral therapies, support groups, and medications, can aid individuals in achieving and maintaining recovery.
Drug Addiction and Dependence
Dependence develops once a body becomes so accustomed to the presence of a substance that it ceases to function properly without it. Often, those who have developed dependence experience withdrawal symptoms when use is stopped or significantly curtailed.Â
Addiction develops over time. Like an AUD, a substance use disorder is a medical condition where individuals have a diminished ability to limit or manage substance use, even when misuse results in negative social, occupational, or health outcomes.Â
A host of drugs are associated with drug addiction and dependence. The following substances are among those most commonly misused.Â
HeroinÂ
Heroin is a type of opioid, as are fentanyl, oxycodone, hydrocodone, and more. Heroin is derived from morphine, and is a highly addictive and rapidly acting substance. It can be misused in various ways including via injection, smoking, sniffing, and snorting.Â
Benzodiazepines
Benzos are depressants that produce sedation, relieve anxiety and muscle spasms, and more. While benzos such as Xanax, Ativan, and Klonopin have FDA-approved therapeutic uses, they’re often frequently misused to produce euphoria or a relaxed mood.Â
Cocaine and MethamphetamineÂ
Cocaine and methamphetamine are both stimulants, which speed up the body’s systems. The former comes in various forms and is misused by snorting or injecting. Crack, which is a type of cocaine, is often smoked. Meanwhile, meth typically comes in pill or powder forms, and it’s often taken orally, smoked, snorted, or injected. Â
Prescription Medications
Prescription medications that are often misused include opioids, stimulants, sleep aids, and more. While legal prescription medications have therapeutic uses when used as prescribed, they’re often misused to produce euphoric effects. Given the wide range of prescription substances that can be misused, detox and treatment for prescription medications vary widely.Â
Synthetic Drugs
Synthetic drugs, such as synthetic cannabinoids (e.g., Spice or K2) or synthetic cathinones (e.g., bath salts), comprise a wide range of chemicals and are rarely approved by the FDA. As such, synthetic drugs are particularly unpredictable, and treatment and detox vary according to the substance and a host of other factors.Â
Addiction Treatment Therapies
Our Hoboken center offers specialized therapy programs for addiction treatment and mental health care. Recognizing that substance use often co-occurs with mental health issues, our approach is integrative and holistic, addressing the root causes of both conditions. Additionally, we offer dual-diagnosis (aka co-occurring disorder) care that treats both conditions concurrently, which is best practice for long-term recovery.Â
We offer evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care, all tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual.
We also provide specialty therapy programs such as group therapy, which aids peer support and fosters a sense of community, as well as family therapy to help repair and strengthen relationships affected by addiction. In Hoboken, our compassionate team is committed to providing comprehensive care that promotes healing and long-term recovery, ensuring each client receives the personalized support they need to thrive.
