Outpatient5 days



Adult Family Health Services Clifton opened in 2003 and serves adults in the Clifton area dealing with mental health conditions and substance use. Because care is outpatient, people go home after scheduled sessions rather than staying overnight. Options span one-on-one counseling to a more structured partial care program, and the center reports no waiting lists, which means someone can usually be seen quickly.
No two people arrive with the same needs, so the team builds a plan around each individual. In most cases that plan brings together counseling appointments one on one, sessions with peers in a group, and medication managed with a physician involved. The staff focus on practical coping skills and help people stay invested in the progress they are making. For participants in the partial care program, the center also sets up rides to and from the site and serves meals, which takes away two frequent reasons that appointments get missed.
The setting is described as welcoming and family-like, and treatment addresses mental health and substance use together. This is one option among many in the state, so it is worth confirming details with the program directly before you decide.

Does Adult Family Health Services Clifton take Medicaid in New Jersey?

Confirm benefits with your plan as well, since coverage for outpatient care varies. There are 330 SAMHSA-listed facilities in the state as of November 1, 2026, so alternatives exist if this center is out of network.
How long does the program at Adult Family Health Services Clifton last?
Most programs run about 5 days, but your own plan may differ based on your diagnosis and what you need. Treatment happens on an outpatient basis, meaning you go to scheduled sessions and then head home. The levels offered are standard outpatient, intensive outpatient, and continuing care. It is worth asking the center how the timetable would work for you and if step-down care comes afterward.
What therapies are available at this Clifton outpatient center?
Counseling approaches offered include CBT, DBT, family therapy, group work, trauma-focused therapy, individual counseling, life skills, stress management, and twelve step facilitation. The center also provides medication-assisted treatment alongside medication management led by a physician. Treatment is strengths-based and personalized, and family members are involved. Services are delivered in English, and the center says there are no waiting lists.
Is transportation available for the partial care program?
For those in the partial care program, the center sets up rides to and from the door and serves meals during the structured day. Those two pieces address barriers that often get in the way of showing up consistently. If you are comparing outpatient programs in New Jersey and transportation is on your mind, ask the center how the schedule and pickups are handled before you sign up.
