The Counseling Center At Toms River

Outpatient Addiction & Behavioral Health Services in Toms River, NJ | The Counseling Center

If you’re in the Toms River area, you don’t have to find your way to a bigger city to get comprehensive, effective addiction treatment. Right here in town, you’ll find The Counseling Center at Toms River, a professional yet warm and welcoming outpatient treatment center. We specialize in treating drug and alcohol addiction for adults and adolescents, along with providing mental health counseling in Toms River NJ.

We’re located in a popular retail area of Toms River on Lakewood Road, in the Nicholas Professional Center near the intersection of Lakewood and Hilltop Road. We’re close to Highway 9 so if you’re in a neighboring town, it’s still a convenient drive, and if you use public transit, we’re just steps away from the Rt-166 at Colonial Road bus stop.

Addiction Treatment in Toms River NJ

While residential rehab can be an excellent treatment option for some people with drug and alcohol addiction, such as those who need an especially thorough level of accountability and support, it’s not the best fit for everyone. Whether you’ve already finished rehab or inpatient treatment isn’t necessary for you, our outpatient substance use disorder services in Toms River allow you to get the treatment you need without putting the rest of your life on pause.

We offer multiple levels of addiction treatment programs at TCC Toms River, including an intensive outpatient (IOP) program and a standard outpatient program (OP).

Intensive Outpatient Treatment

The next step down from our partial care program is our intensive outpatient program or IOP in Toms River NJ. Whether you attend daytime or evening sessions, you’ll come to our treatment center three times a week for a few hours per session. Covering similar areas as our partial care program, this IOP is for clients who need a structured program.

Outpatient Treatment

Finally, we offer traditional outpatient rehab in Toms River too. This low level of care isn’t as structured or extensive as our other programs so it’s ideal for people working through a less severe addiction. It’s also an excellent option if you’ve completed other levels of treatment and just need ongoing support to help you transition out of treatment or address new sobriety stressors as they arise.

Services for Mental Health Care and Dual Diagnosis

Mental health frequently plays a role in drug or alcohol addiction, and many of our clients even have a diagnosed mental health condition alongside their substance use disorder. This is why we make mental health an important component of our treatment, with dedicated services for mental health care and dual diagnosis in Toms River NJ.

We have a psychiatrist on staff who can work with you individually to understand your mental health and provide medications that can help you. We’ll collaborate with you to find the right combination and dosage of medications, if necessary, to help you feel like yourself again and to make it easier for you to stay sober. Even if medications aren’t appropriate for you, our mental health professionals will provide individualized therapy to help you heal and grow.

Medication Assisted Treatment for Sustained Sobriety

If you’re battling opioid addiction or alcohol addiction, there might be additional tools that can help you achieve sobriety. Our treatment center offers MAT or medication-assisted treatment in Toms River, which uses specialized medications to reduce the physical aspects of addiction.

For people with opioid use disorder, we use Suboxone for MAT. This medication reduces your physical cravings and withdrawal symptoms so you have fewer factors pushing you toward a relapse, helping to give you the sober time you need to develop long term recovery. For alcohol use disorder, we use Vivitrol, a medication that has similar impacts to Suboxone but works for both opioids and alcohol.

Whether you ultimately use these medications for weeks, months, or years, our MAT can be an excellent tool alongside our counseling and therapy.

Treatment Services for Teens and Adults

When addiction begins in your teenage years, the sooner you can treat it, the better your outcomes may be. We know it can be difficult to find an addiction treatment center for adolescents, and that’s why we offer specialized programs for teens ages 14 to 18.

In our adolescent treatment services, our providers are experts in working with teens in ways that are relevant and relatable to them. Life looks different during this stage of life and so does substance use, so our individual and group therapy in Toms River for teens focus on adolescent psychology, the way that teens think, and the ways that best help them grow and recover.
