If you or someone you love is displaying any of the above signs and symptoms, meth addiction may be to blame.

Treatment for Meth Addiction in New Jersey

Here at Achieve Wellness and Recovery, we offer different addiction treatment programs to those who are struggling with drug abuse. In these programs, you will engage in different types of therapy, learn about addiction and how to overcome it and develop coping mechanisms. Our programs are tailored to each individual, so we can create a program that is perfect for you and your unique needs.

Outpatient Program

In our outpatient program, you will come to our facility for treatment during the day and then return home in the evening. This program is perfect for those who have obligations such as work or school.

Intensive Outpatient Program

Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) is ideal for people who need a higher level of support and treatment than traditional outpatient provides. In this program, you will come to our facility for treatment several times a week while still being able to live at home.

Partial Hospitalization Program

In our partial hospitalization program (PHP), you will receive a comparable level of care as an inpatient program but will be able to return home each night. This program is perfect for those who need more support than an outpatient program provides but do not require 24/7 care.

Residential Treatment

Residential treatment programs provide around-the-clock care in a safe and supportive environment.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Around 50% of people with a substance use disorder also have a co-occurring mental health condition. At our facility, we offer treatment for both disorders at the same time to ensure the best possible outcome for our patients.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

For some patients, medication can be used to help manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings. We offer medication-assisted treatment as part of our comprehensive care program.
