The Counseling Center in Fair Lawn, New Jersey provides specialized outpatient care for addiction and mental illness. The staff will use medication assisted treatment, intensive outpatient care, and other services to help you recover from substance use disorder.
Depression is one of many mental illnesses that can sometimes contribute to substance use disorder. The Counseling Center provides the medication SPRAVATO to assist with treating treatment resistant depression. The medication is a nasal spray that can be taken alone or in tandem with an oral antidepressant.
It’s derived from ketamine and it’s the only formulation of ketamine that’s approved for treating depression. It’s designed to help your brain be more effective at controlling your mood and reducing negative depression symptoms, which as a result, may help you avoid using substances as a coping mechanism.
The facility offers medication assisted treatment to assist you in your recovery from addiction. Suboxone or Vivitrol will be prescribed to prevent your cravings and lower uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms such as stomach aches and muscle aches.
Suboxone is taken orally on a daily basis, and Vivitrol can be administered through a monthly injection. Your counselor will help you resolve the issues causing your addiction and develop relapse prevention strategies to avoid future substance use.
The Counseling Center is less than an hour away from New York City. During your time outside of treatment sessions, you can take a day trip to the city and visit places such as the New York Botanical Garden and the Bronx Zoo.
