Addictions We Treat at Our New Jersey Locations
At Legacy Healing Center – New Jersey, we believe healing is possible for everyone. Our drug and alcohol rehab programs are rooted in evidence-based care, personalized treatment planning, and a compassionate understanding of the complex nature of addiction. Whether you’re struggling with alcohol, opioids, prescription medications, or other substances, we’re here to help you reclaim your life with dignity and support.
Our New Jersey addiction treatment programs are designed for individuals at all stages of recovery, addressing both substance use and underlying mental health concerns.
Common Addictions Treated
We provide specialized care for a wide range of addictions, including:
Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol is one of the most commonly misused substances in the U.S. Our team helps clients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) safely detox, heal from withdrawal symptoms, and rebuild their lives through therapy, life skills training, and relapse prevention.
Opioid Addiction
Whether you’re using heroin, fentanyl, oxycodone, or another opioid, our programs provide clinical support and, when appropriate, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to reduce cravings and promote recovery.
Benzodiazepine Addiction
Detoxing from benzodiazepines like Xanax or Valium requires medical supervision. We coordinate safe tapers and ongoing care to address anxiety and sleep concerns without substance dependence.
Fentanyl Addiction
This powerful synthetic opioid is often mixed with other drugs, increasing overdose risk. Our treatment addresses both fentanyl dependency and the complex challenges of polysubstance use.
Stimulant Addiction
Addiction to cocaine, methamphetamine, or prescription stimulants often comes with intense psychological effects. Our trauma-informed approach targets both physical recovery and emotional stabilization.
Prescription Drug Abuse
Misuse of painkillers, sedatives, ADHD meds, or sleep aids can lead to dependency. We provide individualized treatment tailored to your specific medication history.
Marijuana Dependence
While not physically addictive in the same way as opioids or alcohol, marijuana use can become problematic when it impacts work, relationships, or mental health. We offer supportive counseling and behavioral therapies.
Polysubstance Addiction
Using multiple substances complicates treatment, but it’s common, and we’re equipped to handle it. Our clinical team creates coordinated care plans that address every aspect of your use.
Club Drugs & Synthetics
MDMA, ketamine, bath salts, and synthetic cannabinoids can cause unpredictable effects. We provide a safe environment for detox and treatment, with psychiatric support as needed.
Signs You or a Loved One May Have an Addiction
If you’re unsure whether it’s time to seek help, consider the following warning signs:
- Needing more of a substance to feel the same effect
- Feeling withdrawal symptoms when not using
- Mood swings, anxiety, or depression
- Declining work or school performance
- Relationship issues or isolation
- Failed attempts to cut back or quit
If you recognize these signs, reach out for a confidential assessment. Early intervention saves lives.
Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders
Addiction often occurs alongside conditions like depression, PTSD, anxiety, or bipolar disorder. At Legacy Healing Center, we offer integrated psychiatric care and therapy to treat both substance use and mental health together—for true healing.
