Why Clients Choose New Jersey Rehab Over Local Treatment
New Jersey is a popular rehab destination for people from various East Coast states, offering the following benefits.
Geographic Separation from Triggers and Negative Influences
While getting care in your hometown may be convenient, it leaves you exposed to triggers and negative influences. For example, you may receive care in an outpatient facility, but when you go home at night, you deal with stressors related to your job, relationships, and finances. You may see people you once used with, or pass places you once used at, tempting you to fall back on old habits.
Traveling out of state removes you from those triggers and negative influences, improving your chances of success.
Access to Top-Rated Facilities Without Local Stigma Concerns
Although there are efforts to address stigmas regarding addiction treatment, unfortunately, they do exist. Gossip spreads quickly in local areas. People may look at you differently, and it can even impact your ability to find work.
Out-of-state recovery provides a sense of anonymity, which you can enjoy in New Jersey’s top-rated facilities. Various programs and legislations in the state, such as its patient protections, Treatment Best Practices Task Force, and Sober Living Home Regulation, contribute to a higher level of care. You can take advantage of these benefits while enjoying private, discreet treatment.
Proximity to New York City for Family Visits While Maintaining Treatment Focus
While New Jersey offers distance from stressors and triggers, as well as anonymity, it is still close enough for family visits. New York residents can go home to see family within a half hour. Those in other states have a slightly longer trip, but visits are still doable.
They can go home to see their family, connect and recharge, while maintaining treatment focus, and return to our facility to continue care.
New Environment Supporting Fresh Start Mentality
Traveling for care exposes you to a new environment, providing the sense of a fresh start. Getting on a plane or driving across state lines offers a clear distinction between then and now. The symbolic break can boost motivation and a willingness to change.
BlueCrest's Advantages for Out-of-State Clients
While distance can be beneficial, BlueCrest offers several advantages that make us worth the trip. Here’s what we have to offer.
500+ Five-Star Reviews from Clients Nationwide
Our five-star reviews from clients across the nation prove that our services are effective. And for us, they are more than just numbers.
We welcome you to read these reviews to learn about the valuable connections that have formed in our facility and the life-changing results we have achieved. Our clients’ meaningful words give us even more reason to continue our mission of helping people reclaim their lives. And we can provide similar results for you or a loved one.
Evidence-Based Treatment with 12-Step Foundation
We offer evidence-based therapies that have been proven to get results, such as:
- Medication-Assisted Treatment: Medications are used to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings during the detox process.
- Psychotherapies: We integrate cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to support emotional regulation, contingency management, and motivational interviewing to motivate people to want to get better, and trauma-focused care, which addresses underlying traumas that may contribute to addiction.
- Family-Based Interventions: Families are often included in therapy sessions so they can identify and address enabling and codependent behaviors that may contribute to drug use and learn how to create a supportive environment for their loved one.
We utilize these therapies while encouraging clients to follow a 12-step foundation that integrates group meetings for peer support and a one-day-at-a-time approach. Clients may discuss the core concepts of 12-step programs while in CBT or MI sessions, learning how to safely process emotions.
Dual Diagnosis Expertise for Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders
At BlueCrest, we understand that addiction is often related to mental health disorders. People use drugs to self-medicate conditions like anxiety and depression. While they may experience temporary results, they often spiral downward as drug addiction rewires brain chemistry and causes personal and professional issues.
We know that recovery is only possible when you address addiction at its core, treating mental health conditions alongside addiction. This dual diagnosis approach has helped us achieve high long-term success rates.
Low Client-to-Counselor Ratio Ensuring Personalized Care
BlueCrest also stands out for our low client-to-counselor ratios. With several staff members overseeing each client, we become familiar with everyone’s individual needs. This allows us to take a customized approach, tailoring treatment for high success rates.
Our ratios also enable us to oversee each patient’s journey, paying attention to their priorities and ensuring they maintain sobriety.
Holistic Services: Meditation, Yoga, Art Therapy, Music Therapy
Our staff integrates holistic services into our approach, addressing the physical, mental, and spiritual aspects of recovery. Practices such as yoga, meditation, art therapy, and music therapy support emotional regulation. But more than that, these healthy habits can replace negative behaviors, promoting overall well-being.
We often recommend these practices as part of our aftercare program. Our findings show that they support a healthy lifestyle, help clients structure their days, and provide an alternative to drug use.
