About Guided Life Structures
The Lennard Clinic – III has been operating since 1984 as a nonprofit addiction treatment facility in New Jersey. Now, they have several locations including this clinic in Elizabeth, New Jersey. They are accredited by The Joint Commission to provide outpatient medication assisted treatment (MAT) to adults in Union county.
MAT is a combination of medication and support services to address addiction to opioids. Clients get prescribed and/or administered medications to curb their cravings and prevent relapse or overdose. They also get counseling to address the root causes of addiction and learn healthy coping strategies.
The Lennard Clinic offers methadone or buprenorphine as options for MAT. During your intake process, clinicians will go over the options with you to help you make the decision that is right for you. During your initial screening, you’ll take a urine sample and discuss your current additions and reason for treatment. They will use the New Jersey Substance Abuse Monitoring System (NJSAMS) to prevent multiple enrollments.
This consultation will give your provider the information they need to create a treatment plan for you. This plan will account for your strengths, needs, preferences, skills and interests. Once admitted, you’ll get your first dose of methadone (or alternative).
You’ll come in daily for your medication until you become stabilized and are at a lower risk of relapse. Over time, you may earn take home medication privileges if you meet the criteria and pass drug screens.
Other services include case management, addiction education, relapse prevention, referrals to community resources, HIV testing and counseling and services for pregnancy and for women with dependent children. They also offer a DUI program.
