Elev8 Center of New Jersey

Detox and withdrawal support

The facility provides onsite detox for alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines, kratom, and stimulants. Clients in detox are monitored by healthcare professionals 24 hours a day. Each withdrawal management plan starts with an assessment of physical and mental health needs. Medications for addiction treatment may include buprenorphine for opioid use. Counseling is also available during this time to support clients with the emotional side of withdrawal and help them prepare for continued treatment.

Residential treatment

Upon completing detox, clients may continue into structured residential treatment with a shorter-term program lasting 28 to 35 days on average, with longer-term residential options available. The facility treats substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns. Care may include individual therapy, process therapy, trauma therapy groups, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), solution-focused therapy, and psychodynamic therapy (a form of depth talk therapy). Clients also have access to life skills and relapse prevention programming to help them prepare for life after formal care.

Computer stations are on site to help clients work on employment-related tasks during treatment.

Aftercare and practical support
