About Eva’s Village – Paterson
Eva’s Village is a social service facility located in Paterson, New Jersey. Services are available to men, women and children who are struggling with mental health conditions as well as substance abuse disorders. The level of care offered here is outpatient treatment, and they also offer safe, secure, and sober living. Some services they provide include emergency food and shelter, therapy, psychiatric evaluation, medication assisted treatment (MAT), employment assistance, culinary school and an opioid overdose recovery program.
At this facility they offer the extra support and guidance you need to help you move forward in your ongoing journey of recovery. When getting connected to services here they will provide a psychiatric evaluation to better assess your needs and get you connected to the best level of care most appropriate for you. Once the psychiatric evaluation is completed, a treatment plan will be created to give you a better idea of what to expect in outpatient care. Individual, group, and family therapy will be available throughout the week for you to develop communication skills with others and learn different coping skills.
MAT can be very beneficial for individuals who have begun their journey in recovery and also may be experiencing the intense impacts of chemical dependency like cravings, triggers and withdrawals. This medication helps alleviate these symptoms and can also help with improving brain function.
Their culinary school is a 20 week program where you can receive a certificate of completion as well as a ServeSafe certification. This helps create more employment opportunities and a potential career path. You’ll develop cooking methods, knife skills, sanitation skills, product identification and baking skills, and you’ll also complete an internship.
