We serve Highland Park, New Jersey adults from Guardian Recovery – New Brunswick Counseling Center, our outpatient center at 152 Livingston Ave, New Brunswick, NJ 08901. The first call is a chance to explain why you are seeking help and discuss the next step.
Our center provides adult substance-use IOP and OP. We can explain how an assessment helps determine whether IOP or OP may fit the adult’s current needs.
A confidential first step without a perfect summary
A Highland Park resident can call before every date, medication, or prior service is organized. The first conversation can identify the most important information and clarify what should be gathered next.
Being direct about uncertainty is useful. We would rather help structure an honest inquiry than have someone postpone it while trying to create a perfect account.
Our adult substance use services
Our team listens to your concerns, reviews your treatment history and discusses the support you are looking for. An assessment helps shape the outpatient care recommendation.
Intensive Outpatient Program
IOP provides a more structured outpatient schedule for adults whose assessment supports that level of care. Treatment can address substance-use patterns, recovery skills, and the situations that make change difficult while the person continues living at home.
Outpatient Program
OP offers a lower-intensity outpatient option when that structure matches the person’s clinical needs. It may support continued progress, ongoing skill development, and a transition from a more intensive level of treatment.
