The Counseling Center At Toms River, NJ

The Counseling Center is an addiction and mental health treatment facility for adults and teens in Toms River, New Jersey. They specialize in partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient services designed around your unique needs. You can participate in person at their office or connect with your provider online through their telehealth program. They’re in network with most private insurance plans and also accept self payment and Medicare.

Individual and group counseling sessions are the cornerstones of their addiction recovery program. You can meet with your assigned counselor to talk through your condition and any symptoms you’re experiencing. You can also find help for co-occurring mental health disorders, such as depression. During your sessions, you’ll dive into the underlying causes of your substance abuse and the feelings that trigger your unhealthy behaviors.

I like that their counseling services also help you look ahead to the future. For example, you’ll learn new habits you can implement to encourage long term recovery. You’ll also learn healthy ways to cope with stress and negative feelings without turning to drugs or alcohol.

If you need medication to help manage your symptoms, they can also help with that. Your team can write prescriptions, show you how to use the substances safely, and monitor how they affect your mind and body. This includes Suboxone and Vivitrol, which are available through their medication assisted treatment program.

While some former clients speak highly of their experience here, several have mentioned a lack of care and attention following a recent staff turnover.
