Straight and Amp Narrow, Inc

They provide inpatient residential and detox. The nearest alternative is in Fair Lawn, 2.6 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Paterson.

They offer a pregnancy program. Call rather than wait, because this is the one case where timing changes the options and Paterson may not have a second place set up for it.

Paterson has 27 NA meetings too, and most people end up using both.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them under a mile away in Paterson.

Older adults, plus young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask how the groups are arranged in Paterson, because a wide age range often still means one room.

Medication assisted treatment means a prescribed medicine is part of the plan, alongside counseling rather than instead of it. Alcohol use disorder has prescribed options of its own, which is worth raising because the phrase is usually explained in terms of opioids. Ask who prescribes, how often you would be seen, and where the prescription is filled.

A return to use is treated as information: something in the plan was not holding. A return to use that followed a move, a job loss or a death is a different problem from one with no obvious trigger. Ask what they do differently for somebody who has been through a program before.
