About Spectrum Healthcare – Jersey City
Based in Jersey City, New Jersey, Spectrum Healthcare is a private, nonprofit, accredited facility specializing in outpatient addiction treatment services. Support is available to adults aged 18 and older based in and around Hudson County.
This center offers a full range of addiction recovery services including a short-term 30-day detox program to help clients get clean before committing to recovery. Here, clients can benefit from medically assisted detox using FDA-approved methadone or buprenorphine (Suboxone).
Once the detox phase is complete, following assessments and evaluations, clients will be guided toward a level of care that best suits their needs.
Their intensive outpatient (IOP) program involves a range of beneficial services like addiction education for clients’ families, access to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) support groups, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) where deemed necessary. MAT uses a range of approved medications to support clients in managing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, including methadone, buprenorphine (Suboxone), and naltrexone (Vivitrol).
Medication maintenance services are also available for individuals who may benefit from longer-term prescriptions. Individual and group therapy sessions are also available as part of IOP, alongside case management services, relapse prevention, assertiveness, and stress and anger management training sessions.
The center also provided a specialized women’s IOP featuring similar treatment methods as standard IOP. However, services focus on common women’s issues including parenting, domestic abuse, self-esteem and mental health.
Transport for individuals who may have difficulty commuting in for appointments can be arranged with the center’s staff. Referrals can also be made for individuals who need further community support services like disability aid, support finding safe and stable shelter and employment or financial and other practical support.
