About The Lennard Clinic – III – Elizabeth
The Lennard Clinic — III is located in Elizabeth, New Jersey. They offer outpatient medication assisted treatment (MAT) for men and women aged 18 and over who have problems with opioid use. They’ll accept Medicaid, Work First SAI, and NJ Managed Care plans for payment and they have state-funded options if you’re a New Jersey resident.
They also offer a sliding scale payment option for some patients depending on the scenario. For admissions they want you to call and speak with a counselor to figure out if this addiction treatment center is the right fit for you.
They’re CARF accredited as an opioid treatment provider and certified by Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services, SAMHSA as well as licensed by the New Jersey Department of Human Services.
Their mission is to help people in Essex and Union Counties who are battling substance abuse and mental health issues. They also hope to decrease criminal activity and improve the health and living conditions of those who need it.
Their MAT services are designed to help people who are battling opioid addiction. They combine MAT with behavioral therapies giving you comprehensive and evidence-based treatment.
The plan here is to allow the medication to reduce your opioid cravings and then focus on other parts of your life that have been affected by your addiction. They’ve worked extensively with methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) and if you don’t want to use methadone they can prescribe buprenorphine or something similar.
Some former patients here have said the staff is compassionate, knowledgeable, and respectful, and the clinic gave them a sense of direction for their recovery.
