Westfield Addiction Treatment Centers

Though it ranks consistently as one of the safest and wealthiest cities in New Jersey and the U.S., Westfield has its problems with drug and alcohol abuse just like anywhere else.¹

About 23% of people in Westfield who seek treatment for substance use disorders need help recovering from heroin or other opioid addiction. But alcohol is the most prominent substance of abuse in this town and accounts for 60% of treatment admissions to nearby Westfield alcohol rehab centers.²

Alcohol and drug use disorders can be safely treated using detoxification and therapy—each of which addresses physical dependence and psychological addiction, respectively.³ Behavioral therapies for addiction can teach you how to overcome everyday triggers that influence drug use and may provide you with incentives for staying sober.⁴ Ninety days of behavioral therapy in a residential or outpatient treatment setting is recommended for those overcoming substance use disorders.⁵

Addiction therapies that may be offered at a drug rehab in Westfield or elsewhere in the area include:⁴

• Cognitive behavioral therapy.
• Contingency management.
• Community reinforcement with vouchers.
• Motivational enhancement.
• Mutual support groups.
• The Matrix Model.
• Family therapy.

Some therapies are better at treating certain drug use disorders than others. For instance, motivational enhancement therapy has been effective at treating alcohol and marijuana addiction, while the Matrix model was designed to treat stimulant addiction.⁴ Westfield rehab centers may individualize these therapies to accommodate the unique recovery needs of you or your loved one. For instance, those who need help mending family relationships that were damaged as a result of the addiction may benefit from family therapy.
