Alcohol Rehab Process at Our Bergen County Treatment Center
We start with a thorough evaluation to create a treatment plan that fits your needs. From the first assessment through detox and ongoing recovery, our team is here to support you. With experienced professionals overseeing each step, we prioritize safety and compassionate care.Treating Withdrawal Symptoms
The first step in the journey is managing withdrawal symptoms. Alcohol withdrawal can be tough both physically and emotionally, which is why medical supervision is so important. Our team provides care based on proven methods and, when needed, uses medication to help ease symptoms and keep you as comfortable as possible. Each client’s experience is different, so we closely monitor progress and adjust care to ensure safety and comfort during this critical stage.2Our Treatment Approach for Alcohol Substance Use Disorder
Once detox is complete, our treatment programs take center stage. We combine individual therapy, group counseling, and holistic interventions to address not only the physical aspects of addiction but also the psychological and emotional factors. Our approach is rooted in empathy, with professionals who listen and work with you to build a sustainable path to recovery. By focusing on long-term recovery rather than quick fixes, we ensure that each client develops the tools needed to maintain sobriety well beyond the treatment center.Dual Diagnosis Treatment & Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders
Many individuals struggling with alcohol addiction also experience mental health challenges. Recognizing this, our center offers dual diagnosis treatment that addresses both substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, or another condition, our integrated treatment plans are designed to help you manage all aspects of your health. We understand that healing requires treating the whole person, and our dedicated professionals are here to provide support every step of the way. 3Complimentary Insurance Check

Our Alcohol Addiction Rehab Options & Treatment Programs
We offer several treatment program options to ensure that every individual receives care suited to their situation. These programs are designed to be flexible, accessible, and effective, meeting the diverse needs of our community in Saddle Brook and the wider Bergen County area.
Outpatient Rehabilitation
Our outpatient rehabilitation program offers a balanced solution for those who have completed an initial detox and wish to continue their recovery while staying connected with family, work, or school. Group therapy and skill-building workshops were conducted in a supportive environment. It’s ideal for clients who have completed an initial detox and wish to continue with family, work, or school.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
IOP is a good option for people who need more support than regular outpatient care but don’t require inpatient treatment. This program includes several therapy sessions each week, giving clients the structure they need while still allowing them to live at home, go to work, or attend school. It’s meant to help people handle challenges, develop healthy habits, and stay on track with recovery while continuing their daily routines.
Virtual Telehealth Treatment & Counseling
When in-person treatment isn’t an option, virtual therapy makes it easier to get support. People can meet with therapists, participate in group discussions, and receive support remotely through secure online sessions. This option works well for those who have limited time, have difficulty traveling, or have fewer treatment resources in their area.
Alcohol Substance Use Disorder Aftercare Support
Getting sober is just the beginning—staying on track takes ongoing support. Adjusting to everyday life after treatment can be challenging, so having a plan makes a big difference. Our aftercare services include counseling, support groups, and relapse prevention strategies to help you feel secure in your recovery. No one should have to do this alone, and we’re here to provide the guidance and resources you need to move forward confidently.

Frequently Asked Questions:
The detox process varies for everyone, but most people start experiencing withdrawal symptoms within a few hours after their last drink. Symptoms can peak within 24 to 72 hours and gradually improve over several days. In general, alcohol detox lasts about 5 to 10 days, but some may need medical support for a longer period, depending on the severity of their dependence and overall health.
Detoxing from alcohol at home can be dangerous, especially for those who have been drinking heavily for a long time. Withdrawal symptoms can range from mild discomfort to life-threatening complications like seizures or delirium tremens (DTs). It’s always safest to detox under medical supervision, where professionals can monitor symptoms and provide treatment if needed.
Yes, medications are often used to manage withdrawal symptoms and prevent complications. Doctors may prescribe medications to reduce anxiety, control seizures, or help with cravings. The type of medication depends on each person’s needs, and medical staff closely monitor the process to ensure safety and comfort.
Many insurance plans cover alcohol detox and rehab, but the level of coverage depends on the provider and policy. It’s good to check with your insurance company or speak with a treatment center’s admissions team to understand your options. They can help verify coverage and explain any out-of-pocket costs.
Yes, longer-term treatment options are available for those who need extended care. After detox, many people benefit from ongoing treatment such as residential rehab, outpatient programs, or sober living arrangements. The right option depends on individual needs, and treatment plans can be adjusted to provide the right support for long-term recovery.
