Hoboken Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers

Like many parts of the United States, Hoboken, New Jersey is suffering from numerous forms of drug abuse and addiction. The most common substances abused are alcohol, heroin, and marijuana.¹

If you’re suffering from drug or alcohol abuse, getting into treatment is the first step towards sobriety. In a Hoboken rehab center, you’ll be able to work through your issues with a therapist and combat your addiction.

Generally, there are two types of treatment programs to choose from: inpatient and outpatient.

In inpatient treatment settings, you are required to live at the rehab for the duration of the program, which is generally a few weeks to a couple months in length. Some long-term residential treatment options—such as therapeutic communities—involve lengths of stay as long as 6 to 12 months .³ Many people benefit from inpatient and residential treatment because they are separated from their previous using environments and are able to focus solely on their recovery. Your daily treatment will be highly structured to give you a routine and it may include group, individual, and family therapy; 12-step program meetings; and other forms of counseling.

Outpatient treatment uses many of the same treatment models as inpatient therapy, but the main difference is that you’ll be living at home and commuting to the outpatient facility for treatment sessions. Because of this, outpatient treatment is relatively less intense than inpatient treatment, making it a good choice if you have a job or an extensive sober support network.

When trying to decide between inpatient and outpatient rehab, keep in mind that both are excellent options that will help you on your path to sobriety. For more help finding the facility that’s right for you, browse our directory.
