About Intervention Specialist – Elizabeth
Intervention Specialist is a drug and alcohol rehab facility located in a commercial district of Elizabeth, New Jersey. They treat people with alcohol and substance use disorders. They also treat those with concurring mental health disorders. They take Medicaid, private insurance, and self-pay.
They give you an assessment when you come in. Group and individual therapy are their main modes of treatment. But, they also have a trained staff that can provide medication assisted treatment (MAT) if you need it.
Some rehabs require a mental health examination and drug test before you can work for them. This facility offers fitness for duty examinations.
They have both an intensive outpatient treatment program (IOP) in which you will come in several times a week and a standard outpatient program in which you will go in for treatment once a week. They also offer a partial hospitalization program (PHP) in which you will come in for a full day of treatment and go home at night.
One thing I like about this place is that bilingual services are offered. If you speak Spanish, they can accommodate you.
This company believes in getting at the root causes of substance use issues. They use a combination of emotionally supportive therapy and education. They provide 12 Step groups for peer support as well.
They have a medication education group, which is good for clients who may have become addicted to prescription drugs. They will teach you how to avoid misusing substances and about the effects of drugs and alcohol on your body.
Domestic violence therapy groups are also available. In some cases, domestic violence is the result of substance use. In other cases, people who are victims of domestic violence may turn to substances for comfort. These groups will teach you coping mechanisms for dealing with tense situations.
