Levels of Care in New Jersey Addiction Treatment
Care ranges from referral for medical detox to standard outpatient treatment. Assessment considers withdrawal risk, safety, daily responsibilities, and needed structure.
Medical Detox
The Living Room does not provide medical detox, onsite. When supervised withdrawal is needed, we coordinate placement with a trusted partner, where medical professionals can monitor symptoms and manage complications. Outpatient treatment may follow when appropriate.
Partial Care (AKA PHP)
Partial Care (also called PHP), is the most structured outpatient care available. People attend during the day and return home or to a supportive living setting. It may fit someone who needs frequent clinical support without overnight care.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
IOP offers scheduled treatment on multiple days each week, with daytime and evening options. It provides more structure than standard outpatient care while leaving room for work, school, or family.
Outpatient Program
Standard outpatient is the most flexible level, often meeting weekly or biweekly. It may fit someone stepping down from PHP or IOP, or someone whose needs call for a less intensive schedule.
Teen Intensive Outpatient Program
We offer a private space for this IOP program. This age-appropriate teen treatment track is separate from adult treatment. It supports adolescents navigating substance use and related mental health concerns, with family involvement and attention to school and home life.
Substances and Conditions We Treat
People come to treatment with different histories, health needs, and reasons for using. The Living Room provides care for concerns involving:
- Alcohol
- Opioids
- Benzodiazepines
- Prescription drugs
- Cocaine
- Stimulants
- Marijuana
- Dual diagnosis treatment
There is no single story behind substance use. Each person deserves a plan that takes their circumstances seriously.
What is Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Care?
Substance use and mental health concerns often affect each other. The Living Room addresses both in one coordinated treatment plan. This style of integrated care combines mental health and substance use treatment. Therapy may explore what substances have helped someone manage and what other supports could help, in their place.
Additional Support Programs
Recovery can also involve support for relationships, work, and the transition beyond structured treatment.
The Living Room offers:
- Family therapy to work on communication, boundaries, and understanding recovery together
- Aftercare and alumni support to stay connected as treatment becomes part of daily life
- An Executive Treatment Program for professionals balancing treatment with demanding work responsibilities
Our Approach to Recovery
Sometimes substance use begins as a way to quiet pain, get through a long day, or feel less alone. When that pattern starts becoming the biggest focus of a person’s life, support and compassion are what is needed.
Recovery asks for honesty and understanding. It also asks for practice. Noticing what is happening in the present, pausing before reacting, and returning to the next choice when a day goes differently than planned.
The Living Room brings evidence-based treatment together with wisdom traditions that emphasize awareness, compassion, and acceptance. Clinical care offers tools and structure. A steady, respectful space can help someone use those tools without having to hide the parts of recovery that feel shameful.
