Take Back Control: Addiction Treatment in Collingswood, NJ

Addiction affects everyone differently, so we work with you to build a customized treatment plan that fits your medical needs and personal goals. Our combination of behavioral therapies and MAT is a proven way to begin your journey to long-term recovery. 

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

Medication-assisted treatment is an evidence-based, two-part approach to treating opioid addiction. The first part involves supporting patients through detoxification with medications that relieve discomfort, reduce cravings, and help prevent relapse. The second part uses psychotherapy to help individuals develop healthier coping mechanisms and behavioral patterns. 

The addiction treatment medications we offer include the following:

Methadone

Methadone is one of the most common medications used during opioid withdrawal. It helps patients relax and alleviates pain without causing the “high” or euphoria associated with detox. It also stops your brain from absorbing opiates, which helps further ease the symptoms of withdrawal. 

Suboxone

Suboxone is a combination of the medications buprenorphine and naloxone. It binds to the opioid-craving receptors in the brain and prevents them from activating. It’s usually administered between 12 and 24 hours into detoxification to help ease symptoms and reduce cravings. 

Vivitrol

Vivitrol is a monthly injection FDA-approved to help prevent relapse after there are no longer opioids in your system. Vivitrol covers the opioid in receptors in your brain like the cap on a bottle. This prevents your brain from absorbing opiates, which helps reduce both cravings and the chances of relapse. 

Sublocade

Usually administered via injection, Sublocade blocks the “reward” sensation associated with opioids. This process helps you fight cravings, reduces discomfort during withdrawal, and makes relapse less likely. 

Behavioral Therapy

Addiction is a blend of psychological and physical issues—so at Affinity Healthcare Group, we address both. Our addiction treatment center serving Collingswood, NJ, offers a variety of therapies to help heal your body and mind and break the cycle of addiction. 

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) examines your behavioral patterns to help differentiate healthy and unhealthy thoughts and actions. With the help of one of our counselors, you’ll learn healthier ways of coping with things like negative emotions, empowering you to make better decisions and achieve sustained sobriety.

Reality Therapy

Reality therapy is based on choice theory—the idea that all of our reactions and behaviors are choices we make to meet certain foundational needs, including: 

• Acceptance
• Survival 
• Freedom
• Independence 
• Power 
• Achievement 
• Love 
• Fun or enjoyment

These needs are integral to a healthy and fulfilling human experience. However, individuals sometimes make unhealthy choices in an effort to experience these things. Reality therapy helps patients clearly see the harmful consequences of certain actions and develop new, healthier ways of making choices.

Motivational Interviewing

Learning what motivates your behavior is an integral part of motivational interviewing. You and your therapist will work together to determine what needs you were attempting to fulfill through substance use. They’ll then help you find ways to fulfill those needs in a healthy way so you’re motivated to move forward with your recovery. 

Solution Focused Therapy

In solution-focused therapy, we help you build healthy coping skills to aid in your recovery. The main goal of this type of therapy is to focus on your strengths instead of looking backward at what enabled your addiction.
