AtlantiCare – Adult Outpatient

About AtlantiCare – Adult Outpatient – Hammonton, New Jersey

AtlantiCare Behavioral Health is the largest mental health and substance use treatment provider in southeastern New Jersey. They also offer family care and social support services. Their adult outpatient program in Hammonton supports adults with psychiatric, psychological and substance use issues. They’re well equipped to address co-occurring disorders as well. This is when some simultaneously struggle with both substance use and mental health issues.

A particularly unique service available in this location is compulsive gambling treatment. Drug or alcohol addiction affects the brain’s reward system. This makes it crave more excitement and risky behavior. Gambling can feel like a natural next step for anyone looking for another way to get a thrill. The cycle of substance misuse and gambling can over time feed off each other. This makes recovery from either behavior challenging.

One thing I like about this facility is their telehealth support. You can talk to your care provider via Video or Phone. They use the latest video technology to ensure seamless face-to-face care and consultation. This saves you time, money and is super convenient. It’s also noteworthy that you can find your treatment through Medicaid and Medicare. This makes their services affordable.

Folks who are uninsured can take advantage of their sliding fee scale options. This lets you pay for services based on your income. Many private insurance plans are acceptable as well. The facility is also super easy to access. The White Horse Pike (Route 30) stretches from Camden to Atlantic City. It provides east to west connection across South Jersey. So it’s pretty easy to reach by car or public transportation.

Hammonton itself is known as the “Blueberry Capital of the World.” It is surrounded by farms and green spaces. This can provide a calming environment for outpatient care. The facility prioritizes quality and personalized care that provides the best recovery outcomes. They take a team approach to recovery that emphasizes family involvement at all stages.

Their substance use services include early intervention, relapse prevention and intensive outpatient programs (IOP). Early intervention focuses on identifying unhealthy patterns of substance use and tackling it before it develop into addiction. It can involve screening tools and education about the dangers of substance misuse. The goal is to minimize harm and provide support at a stage where recovery is more manageable.

Their IOP involves groups and individuals focused on building healthier coping skills that support a sober lifestyle and prevent relapse. This level of care is suitable if you need a considerable level of support to overcome substance use in an outpatient setting. Your personalized care plan will include psychiatric evaluation and medication management alongside counseling. That’s if you’re dealing with co-occurring conditions.

Additional outpatient services are specialized psychological evaluations and employment assistance programs.
