Opiate Addiction Treatment in Paramus, New Jersey
Hope starts with a conversation. Healing starts here.
New Jersey Opioid Addiction Treatment That Meets You Where You Are
Opiates and opioids are terms that often get used interchangeably. Both refer to substances that act on the brain’s opioid receptors to reduce pain, ease anxiety, or produce a euphoric effect.
The difference is technical: opiates are naturally derived (like morphine and codeine), while opioids also include synthetic and semi-synthetic drugs (like oxycodone, fentanyl, and heroin).
But in everyday life, and in treatment, the term opioid covers both. Whether you’re struggling with prescription pills or street drugs, you deserve real support. Garden State Counseling offers compassionate, comprehensive substance use treatment for New Jersey residents.
Opioid addiction doesn’t wait — and neither should you.
Whether you’re in Jersey City, Trenton, or located along the Shore, help is ready today.
When Pain Relief Becomes a Problem
Many people are introduced to opioids through a prescription. Maybe it was for a back injury, post-surgical pain, or chronic discomfort. But over time, the brain adjusts. What once helped now feels like a necessity just to function in daily life.
You may find yourself taking more than prescribed. Or using when you’re not even in pain. You may have tried to stop and realized you couldn’t. Perhaps it’s someone you love whose behavior is changing, and you’re scared.
At Garden State Counseling, we see the person, not just the substance. We offer personalized, evidence-based opioid addiction treatment in New Jersey, with a full range of care to help you take back your life.
Common Types of Opioids We Treat
Our clinical team has experience supporting people through recovery from a wide range of opioids, including:
- Prescription opioids: oxycodone (OxyContin), hydrocodone (Vicodin), morphine, codeine, tramadol
- Illicit opioids: heroin, fentanyl, street pills that may be counterfeit or laced
No matter how long you’ve been using or how hopeless it may feel, we’re here to help you heal.
Levels of Care for Opioid Use Disorder
Opioid addiction affects the body, mind, and spirit. That’s why our programs are designed to support you at every stage of recovery, from safe withdrawal to long-term healing.
Medical Detox
Opioid withdrawal can be intense and even dangerous. Our medical detox program includes:
- 24/7 clinical monitoring
- Medications to ease withdrawal and reduce cravings
- Emotional support to help you feel safe and seen
You’ll never go through this alone.
Residential Treatment
In residential care, you’ll stay in a peaceful, supportive environment where healing comes first. This level includes:
- Daily individual and group therapy
- A break from outside stress and triggers
- Round-the-clock support and care
It’s a chance to focus deeply on your recovery without distractions.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our PHP is a full-day program with evenings spent at home or in a sober living environment. It’s ideal if you need a highly structured program but don’t require 24/7 care. You’ll receive:
- Daily therapy and skill-building
- Medication-assisted treatment (MAT), if needed
- Support for reintegrating into daily life
This is the highest level of outpatient treatment and is often a step down from residential treatment. It offers rigorous treatment, accountability, and support.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our IOP offers flexibility for people balancing treatment with work, school, or family responsibilities. IOP includes:
- Day or evening therapy options
- Continued psychiatric support
- Real-world recovery tools
We’ll meet you where you are, and help you keep moving forward.
Therapies That Support Opioid Recovery
Opioid addiction rarely exists in isolation. Many people also struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship stress. That’s why our treatment plans include a blend of evidence-based and holistic therapies, tailored to your specific needs.
Evidence-Based Therapies
Our evidence-based therapies are proven to be effective in treating a wide range of behavioral health issues, including opioid use disorder.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT): Learn how thoughts influence behavior and gain skills to interrupt harmful patterns.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT): Build emotional resilience and healthy boundaries.
Motivational interviewing (MI): Strengthen your own readiness and commitment to change.
Trauma-informed therapy: Explore how past experiences may be driving current behavior—with compassion and safety.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR): A powerful tool for healing trauma without having to relive it.
Holistic Approaches
Holistic approaches focus on the total person: mind, body, and spirit. They are especially effective when paired with evidence-based therapies as part of an individualized treatment plan.
- Mindfulness and meditation: Learn to sit with discomfort instead of reacting to it.
- Yoga and movement: Reconnect with your body and reduce anxiety.
- Creative arts therapy: Sometimes healing begins when words run out.
You’ll also have access to group therapy, family sessions, and peer support, so you never feel like you’re doing this alone.
How Treatment Changes Everything
Opioid use affects more than just your body. It touches your relationships, your work, and your self-worth. Treatment can help restore what addiction has taken.
Through treatment at Garden State Counseling, you’ll have the chance to:
- Show up more fully for your job, your family, and yourself
- Rebuild trust and open lines of communication
- Learn to manage pain, cravings, and emotions without substances
- Reclaim your confidence and sense of purpose
Healing is personal. But its impact is communal.
Individuals Make Families. Families Make Communities.
