About American Habitare and Counseling Inc
American Habitare and Counseling offers a safe and supportive space where individuals facing substance dependence and co-occurring mental health issues receive tailored guidance on their path to long-term sobriety. They’re located on Frelinghuysen Avenue in Newark, New Jersey. They provide tailored and confidential support that promotes healthier living for residents of this community and the Essex County area.
They offer outpatient care at all levels, including partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient and standard outpatient programs. These services may include medication-assisted treatment (MAT) or be integrated into the MAT program offered at the facility. The facility accepts Medicaid for their broader services to keep costs low and expand access.
Medication-Supported Recovery For Long-Term Success
American Habitare and Counseling helps opioid-dependent adults achieve long-term abstinence and recovery through MAT. Patients are prescribed methadone, buprenorphine, or naltrexone as part of their personalized recovery plan after an intake assessment. These medications help curb physiological cravings and ease painful withdrawal, providing the clarity needed to continue healing through outpatient therapy.
Therapy helps them address the underlying emotional issues driving opioid dependence while building effective strategies to prevent relapse. Those seeking more structured support benefit from intensive outpatient care that provides a higher level of guidance to help maintain progress and prevent relapse. The broader program incorporates psychiatric care, from evaluation to medication management, to address co-occurring mental health issues and ensure well-rounded support throughout recovery.
Treatment For Patients Involved With the Legal System
American Habitare and Counseling offers fee-for-service programs for individuals involved in the criminal justice system. They provide treatment to individuals who’ve been charged with DUII, Drug Court participants and those on probation or parole. These services are available in Spanish, ensuring accessible and culturally responsive care.
Levels of Care | Detox Service Setting | Programs | Payment Options | Medications Offered |
---|---|---|---|---|
Inpatient and residential programs provide round-the-clock medical and emotional support as you live at the treatment facility. This level of care may be recommended if you have severe addictions or mental health conditions since it removes outside distractions and allows you to focus solely on therapy. |
In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations. |

Outpatient detox gives you access to medically supervised withdrawal services while still allowing you to live at home. You’ll attend a clinic for treatment and monitoring. This flexible option is suitable for those with mild to moderate withdrawal symptoms who have strong support systems. |
Medication assisted treatment combines medication and counseling to manage withdrawal and reduce cravings for opioid and alcohol addiction. Medications may include methadone, buprenorphine or naltrexone. MAT is tailored to your needs so you can actively participate in your treatment journey. |
