Substance abuse continues, and overdose death rates from opioid use, including from heroin and deadly fentanyl, remain high.

Per this state health report, more than 98,000 people were admitted into treatment statewide in 2019.

During that year, more than 100 people in Union Township sought help for heroin use, and more than 100 sought help for alcohol use, as well.

Drug Rehab in Union, NJ
You will receive individualized addiction treatment at Serenity at Summit. You also will receive personalized attention as we keep our clinician-to-patient ratio low. This ensures that we give each person the time and attention they need.
Addiction treatment won’t look the same for everyone. However, everyone will likely require various treatment settings as they work through their substance use disorder. We offer several placements along the continuum of care, as outlined by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM). A few of them are described below:
- Detox. Many people must start their recovery in medical detox, depending on how far along their substance use disorder or addiction is. This highest level of addiction care is also called medically managed inpatient treatment. One purpose of detox is to help patients end their dependence on substances safely. The body can go into shock when someone stops using drugs or alcohol suddenly. This can make a person eventually relapse and possibly and dangerously overdose. During this period, a person will be evaluated to determine their physical and mental health needs and monitored by medical professionals as they withdraw from the substance(s) they have used. Patients are kept as comfortable as possible during this process. If any health emergencies arise, our staff will be on hand to handle them, ensuring the person will have the support they need as they regain stability at our detox in NJ.
- Inpatient/Residential. Serenity at Summit offers inpatient and residential levels of care where patients can live on-site 24/7 at our facility for 30 days or longer to help them recover from substance abuse. This home-like, structured environment gives our patients the comfortable and private space they need to address their substance abuse issue with few distractions. They will have help on hand around the clock from clinical and medical professionals. We also offer them activities every day throughout the day, various therapies, including individual and group therapy, addiction education classes, and more. Inpatient treatment is more intensive and personalized for patients, so this could be the option for you if you require treatment for a moderate-to-severe disorder.
- Partial Hospitalization. Partial hospitalization, known as PHP or partial day services, is a bridge between inpatient/residential and outpatient services. Patients in this stage of care usually have completed inpatient care and have more flexibility while attending treatment at a hospital or stand-alone facility. PHP patients can either live in alternative housing or at home. They receive intensive therapies that focus on relapse prevention and education efforts. Therapies address the whole person and focus on various ways addiction affects someone’s life and why. Serenity at Summit patients can attend sessions for 20 hours of therapy a week for a month or more, depending on their situation. We tailor all of our addiction treatment programs to each individual, so the length of your PHP program could be longer or shorter.
- Intensive Outpatient. Serenity at Summit also offers intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) for patients who need nine hours or more a week to address their addiction. Patients at this treatment stage can live at home and schedule their IOP sessions into their schedules so that they can continue to take care of personal responsibilities while attending treatment. IOP care is not recommended for patients in active addiction who require medical detox. The intensive therapies we offer in our IOP include individual therapy and counseling, group therapy, and drug and alcohol use monitoring. As with our other placements along the addiction continuum of care, IOP is focused on helping a person stay away from substance use and avoid relapse. Because they live on their own, IOP patients are responsible for keeping their environment free of influences that could derail their recovery. We give them the strategies and support they need for them to achieve that.
- Aftercare. Patients who have finished their addiction treatment program will still need support once they exit their program and rejoin the outside world. We know this can be overwhelming, so we offer our patients aftercare services that connect them to resources they will need, a recovery community that they can go to for whatever they need, and other guidance that can encourage them to remain true to their decision to turn their lives around.

How Long Is Rehab?
How long someone attends rehab depends on where they are in their addiction and what their needs are. No two people have the same exact needs, which is why we customize each person’s program according to what they require in their care. Ninety days (three months) is ideal, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA). It says this time frame gives people in addiction recovery a chance of recovering effectively, although guarding against substance use is a lifelong effort for a person who is battling addiction.
Addiction is a complex disease of the brain that affects someone across levels, including mentally, emotionally, and socially. This includes any mental health needs they have, as well. What this means is if someone is living with a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder, their time in rehab could be longer. Whatever your needs are, we will address them here and make sure you get the level of care you need. If you must start in medical detox, that could last several days to a couple of weeks. From there, our professionals can determine what your treatment will entail. We will make sure you are involved in your program from day one. Your input is important as we help you work through your addiction.

How Much Does Drug Rehab Cost?
Drug rehab costs vary by person and will depend on what your specific needs are. There are so many variables that determine how much a person will pay for addiction treatment. Where you receive care, the levels of care you receive, how often you receive them, and more will affect the tab, which can run from a few thousand dollars to several thousand dollars. If you are reviewing your costs, you must consider the therapies you’ll need as well as any medical care, such as that administered in medical detox.
While the cost of getting addiction treatment stops many people from receiving, we encourage you not to let money deter you from getting the help you need to save your life, your relationships, your job, and much more. Substance use disorders that are left untreated cause more problems than a person can imagine. We believe you are worth the money, so please get the help you need for you.

Do I Have to Travel?
You will have to travel to our facility so that we can provide in-person care for you, from detox and inpatient/residential services to our outpatient programs.
