Addiction Medicine Services in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, or Delaware

  • Outpatient Opioid Detox

    Outpatient opioid detox provides a safe, medically supervised way for individuals to begin recovery from opioid dependence without requiring an inpatient stay. Patients receive personalized care that may include medication to ease withdrawal symptoms, clinical monitoring, and support from addiction specialists—all while continuing to live at home and maintain work or family responsibilities. This flexible approach helps patients transition into ongoing treatment programs and long-term recovery.

  • Naltrexone (Vivitrol) Treatment

    Naltrexone, available as the long-acting injectable Vivitrol, is a non-addictive medication used to prevent relapse in individuals recovering from opioid or alcohol dependence. Given once monthly, Vivitrol works by blocking opioid receptors in the brain, reducing cravings and eliminating the euphoric effects of drugs or alcohol. Under the guidance of an addiction medicine specialist, this treatment is part of a broader recovery plan that supports sustained sobriety and relapse prevention.

  • Buprenorphine (Suboxone) Treatment

    Buprenorphine (commonly prescribed as Suboxone) is an FDA-approved medication that helps individuals recover from opioid addiction by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. It combines buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist, with naloxone to prevent misuse. When prescribed and managed by an addiction medicine provider, Suboxone enables patients to stabilize their recovery, engage in therapy, and begin rebuilding their lives without the highs and lows of active addiction.

  • Relapse Prevention

    Relapse prevention is a critical component of long-term addiction recovery, focusing on helping individuals maintain sobriety by identifying triggers, managing cravings, and building healthy coping strategies. This service often includes individual therapy, group support, medication management, and lifestyle planning—offered in a supportive, non-judgmental setting. Guided by addiction medicine specialists, relapse prevention empowers patients with the tools and resilience needed to stay on track and thrive in recovery.
