Frequently Asked Questions

Should you seek treatment in Essex County, or look further away?

What I like about Essex County is that it has real therapeutic-community programs that run close to a year and are built around mutual support and personal responsibility. That lines up with how I see recovery. You do not get someone clean by doing it all for him. You get him clean by putting him back in the driver’s seat of his own life, where he takes responsibility for the work. A year in that kind of environment can rebuild a person. There are also free faith-based programs with work therapy and vocational rehab. Medical withdrawal support is limited locally, so for alcohol or benzos local hospitals handle withdrawal first. The counseling options here are strong too, with tracks for different situations. If you need real structure and time, those therapeutic communities are worth it. They will not do it for you, and that is why they work. A year of being put back in charge of your own life is what a thirty-day program never gets to.
