How We Can Help

Substance Abuse Programs in NJ

We are staffed with understanding professionals who work collaboratively with our clients to help them find happiness in recovery.

We recognize that substance addictions and behavioral addictions, such as gambling or body image disorder, can be highly confusing for our clients. We know that it’s not just a case of stopping the substance or behavior. Most of our clients wouldn’t need our help if it were that simple. However, the fact is that there are an estimated 22 million people currently in recovery in the United States alone. Addiction is a treatable disease— it doesn’t have to be a life sentence.

We believe in compassionately working with our clients to uncover the root cause of these behaviors. We then address these with a personalized recovery plan to empower you to have a manageable and sustained recovery.

We do this through our specialist addiction treatment team, composed of psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and highly trained support staff dedicated to delivering the highest possible standard of care for our clients. We believe in placing you at the center of your treatment and providing a nourishing environment for you to heal and grow.

Seeking Help for Substance Abuse

Why Treatment Matters

Many people who are in active addiction do not understand why they cannot stop. Our clients typically arrive at Excel Center, having tried to stop of their own accord multiple times. This can lead to feelings of guilt and shame. Addiction is not a moral failing – it is a recognized disease. Prolonged exposure to substances alters the physical make-up of the brain’s reward pathways. This means that people will compulsively seek the substance or behavior they are addicted to, despite the negative effects it may be having on their life. Addiction also greatly diminishes the power of choice. Many people find that their behavior in active addiction is very far removed from their usual moral compass.

We don’t just look at the substance or behavior our client is engaging in – we look at the reasons why our clients are using them. No two people are ever the same, and as such, no two addictions are the same. We approach treatment with an open-minded, judgment-free, and goal-oriented attitude.

WHEN IT’S TIME TO REACH OUT FOR HELP

Understanding Substance Abuse

Recognizing addiction can be complex as it often manifests subtly and gradually over time. It is essential to understand that addiction extends beyond substances and can include behaviors like gambling, eating, or internet usage.

Signs of addiction vary, but common red flags include drastic changes in behavior, appearance, or habits. Individuals may start neglecting their home, work, or school responsibilities. They might isolate from friends and family, preferring to spend time alone. Changes in physical appearance, such as sudden weight loss or gain, bloodshot eyes, or neglected personal hygiene, may be noticeable.

In addition, an individual coping with addiction may exhibit financial discrepancies due to spending significant amounts on securing the substance or engaging in addictive behavior. Mood swings and increased irritability, particularly when the substance or activity is unavailable, are also common.

It’s important to remember that these signs alone do not confirm an addiction. However, they raise red flags that should not be ignored. If you suspect someone you know is struggling with addiction, it is crucial to approach the subject with empathy and seek professional help. Call us to speak with a counselor and learn about available options.
