New Brunswick Counseling Center

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and North Brunswick is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in New Brunswick, under a mile away.

They take court referrals, so a program ordered by a court in New Brunswick is something they handle.

They prescribe methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in New Brunswick.

They treat both. Depression and anxiety alongside a substance are common rather than unusual, and one place handling the two together beats two handling one each. New Brunswick has 8 other centers if this one cannot.

Expect questions rather than a pitch, and expect them to be fairly direct. If you have been through treatment before, what did not work is useful information rather than a mark against you. Describe what is happening rather than the manageable version of it.

Coming back after a return to use is one of the most ordinary calls an intake line takes. Overdose risk is highest just after a period of not using, which is worth knowing by itself. Ask what the aftercare looks like, because its absence is a common gap.

Pack for about a week, keep the documents where you can hand them over at the door, and expect the bag to be searched. Vitamins and anything over the counter are treated as medication and get checked the same way. Ask how much cash, if any, is useful to have with you.
