Alcoholism
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment.

Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Levels of Care in Trenton, New Jersey Drug Rehabs
Outpatient
Outpatient programs are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the number of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time, an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point; it is commonly referred to as aftercare. Outpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Trenton, NJ allows clients to continue to maintain a regular commitment to family, work, or school. The step down to outpatient also allows clients to continue to receive treatment for an extended period.
Medically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one’s body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, which can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
Intensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient programs are for those who want a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with specific responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs. At this level of care, clients can continue with treatment while also maintaining other aspects of their life, such as; work or school. Similar clinical benefits of higher levels of care are involved, while also placing a significant focus on applying life skills.
