Hogar Crea International – Jersey City Center

Located in Jersey City, New Jersey, Hogar Crea International is a nonprofit organization that provides residential services to address and prevent drug addiction in the community. After the completion of the program, they hope their clients have developed positive habits that will support long term recovery. The staff creates a homelike environment for you to stay in so you can comfortably focus on your recovery.

Hogar Crea International follows the philosophy that the changing of a client’s character is what leads them to obtain the skills necessary for overcoming addiction. The 12 month program bases their treatment off of the phases of psychosocial development created by German psychoanalyst Erik E. Erikson.

The traits that the staff will work to develop in you include confidence, initiative, commitment and other positive characteristics. They will present you with different challenges to overcome and opportunities for growth to achieve the different stages of psychosocial development.

The interventions they’ll utilize to accomplish this include group and individual peer support, sports, and recreational activities. Peer support is a helpful tool for guiding you to the resources you need to support your recovery and get the encouragement you need to continue pursuing sobriety. At the end of treatment, they expect their clients to become a part of the community again and make positive contributions to it.
