About Jfk Center For Behavioral Health
The JFK Center for Behavioral Health Outpatient Services is affiliated with Hackensack Meridian Health in Edison, New Jersey. For over 30 years, they’ve provided individuals and families who have mental health and substance use challenges with comprehensive outpatient services. The facility is conveniently located by a major highway and near the Edison State Park and the Metuchen Golf and Country Club.
Most major health insurances are accepted, as well as Medicaid, Medicare and TRICARE. If you do not have insurance, they have a financial assistance team. Their team will help you determine if you qualify for financial assistance.
What stood out to me is that they prioritize your diagnosis and treatment. Their staff will provide you with a supportive environment that will allow you to feel safe, therefore allowing you to trust. Once you receive your diagnosis, your plan of care can be implemented. Your plan of care will contain resources and therapy services.
Their addiction recovery outpatient services provide adults with an intensive outpatient program (IOP). You’ll be required to attend your treatment sessions a few days a week. You will have individual sessions with your counselor, as well as group sessions. Your family will also be able to attend support groups.
I like that medication assisted treatment (MAT) services are available if needed. These FDA-approved medications will help ease your withdrawal symptoms. With your cravings being reduced and your symptoms eased, you’ll be able to focus on your treatment and recovery.
Adults and adolescents will be able to receive mental health care. Specific therapy groups are offered, such as anger management, coping skills, and a young adults’ psychotherapy group. Both their psychiatrist and addiction psychiatrist on staff are board certified. Their counselors, social workers, and psychologists are licensed.
