the counseling center at middlesex

The Counseling Center at Middlesex provides outpatient services for adults and teens facing substance use concerns and mental health conditions. Programming is built around each person's circumstances, and care plans combine counseling, education, and attention to co-occurring conditions. People in treatment work on identifying the factors behind their substance use and on practical approaches for managing everyday demands.

The center has been operating since 2013 and holds Joint Commission accreditation. It is one of 330 SAMHSA-listed facilities in New Jersey. Services are delivered in English, and telehealth is offered when appropriate. Its trauma-informed approach draws on evidence-based methods, among them dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Outpatient programs at the center

Outpatient care is available at the center, including an intensive outpatient program and regular outpatient counseling. Most IOP clients come to three group sessions and one individual session weekly. The typical program length is 90 days. When you need to keep working or caring for family, then an outpatient schedule in Middlesex can fit around those duties.

Several therapy formats are available: individual counseling, group therapy, family therapy, and telehealth when appropriate. Medication management for mental health conditions, medication-assisted treatment for substance use disorders, and Spravato for treatment-resistant depression are also provided by the center. If you want drug and alcohol rehab in New Jersey with medication support, ask the center which services fit your diagnosis.

Teenagers from 14 to 18 have their own outpatient track. That program works on peer pressure, bullying, handling emotions, and self-esteem together with mental health and substance use concerns. When a teen in your family needs addiction treatment in New Jersey, then a program built for adolescents can be a better fit than an adult group.

Approaches include evidence-based care, personalized treatment, trauma-informed therapy, and introduction to the 12 Step program. Life skills and stress management are woven through the program. If you want outpatient services in New Jersey that address both mental health and substance use, then the center's integrated model is designed for that.
