About The Lennard Clinic – Newark
The Lennard Clinic is a nonprofit addiction counseling treatment provider in Newark, Jersey. The primary treatment provided at this facility is medication assisted treatment. They provide treatment to individuals addicted to prescription drugs and illicit substances.

The medical staff will work to make sure you receive a safe medication dosage if you need to undergo detoxification.

In the beginning, you’ll be expected to come in for treatment every day to reduce the risk of relapse. The duration of your treatment will vary based on your specific needs. Regardless of when you end treatment, the staff will have a discharge plan prepared for you to help ensure your success with recovery outside of the clinic.
