About Options Counseling Center – Paterson
Options Counseling Center treats addiction and mental illness for clients of all ages in Paterson, New Jersey. They offer a complete continuum of outpatient care as well as referrals for higher intensity inpatient treatment for those who need it. Gender separate programs and programs for members of the LGBTQ+ community and persons with co-occurring conditions are available. They accept Medicaid and private insurance and offer affordable self pay options.
They offer intensive outpatient programs (IOP) and partial hospitalization programs (PHP) for those who need more robust supervision and support. I like that you can get care in day or evening hours to accommodate your work, family, and school schedule.
You can also step down to general outpatient treatment that is less frequent and less intensive as you progress in your recovery. Medication management is also provided by their clinic to ensure that your treatment works for you and your evolving needs.
They prioritize family education and support because they know that strong and healthy relationships are an important part of a lasting recovery.
They also have breakout groups and meetings for men, women, and others who share similar lifestyles and experiences, and viewpoints. Previous patients have said the center’s staff are great at reducing the stigma of mental illness and addiction.
During your recovery, you may navigate programs that give you the tools to better manage your own emotional states and relationships, like anger management and parenting classes. One woman noted the peaceful serenity of the center and how it contributed to her own personal transformation, while a young man said he liked the atmosphere.
