Partial Care Treatment in New Jersey: Intensive Day Programming Without Overnight Stay
Recovery is a journey, but you don’t have to walk it alone—and you don’t always have to put your entire life on hold to get the help you need.
At Preferred Behavioral Health Group (PBHG), our Partial Care Program serves as a vital bridge between residential detox and standard outpatient care. We offer a “best of both worlds” approach: the high-intensity clinical structure of a residential facility combined with the flexibility to sleep in your own bed at night.
If you require more support than a weekly therapy session but cannot commit to a 30-day inpatient stay, our program is designed for you.
What is the Partial Care Program?
Our partial care program is a structured day treatment for addiction in NJ designed to provide stability and routine. It creates a therapeutic community where you can focus on healing during the day while maintaining your connection to family and home life in the evenings. We understand that life demands flexibility, and we work with you to accommodate your individual needs.
Schedule:
- Frequency: 5 days a week (Monday through Friday)
- Hours: 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
- Hours: 10:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. Intensity: 20+ hours of weekly clinical care
This schedule allows for intensive treatment while helping you reintegrate into daily life, applying the skills you learn in real-time.
Who is Partial Care Program Right For?
Determining the right level of care is a medical decision. Our program is specifically designed for individuals who meet specific “Medical Necessity” criteria. This is generally the right fit for:
- Step-Down Patients: Individuals transitioning out of inpatient detox or residential rehab who need a rehab step-down program to maintain momentum.
- Stabilization Needs: Those experiencing a mental health crisis or recent relapse who need immediate stabilization to avoid hospitalization.
- Co-Occurring Disorders: Individuals needing a co-occurring disorder treatment to treat both substance use and underlying mental health diagnoses simultaneously.
- Medication Support Needs: Individuals who require ongoing psychiatric evaluation and medication management or medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as part of their recovery and stabilization plan.
- High-Functioning Individuals: Those who may still be employed or have family obligations but require a structured substance use program 5 days a week to remain safe and sober.
Clinical Excellence: Evidence-Based Therapies
We do not just offer support; we offer clinical medical treatment rooted in evidence-based practices. Our goal is to move you through the “Stages of Change” with professional guidance.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI): A collaborative approach to help you find the internal motivation to change.
- Trauma-Informed Care: recognizing that trauma is often the root of addiction, ensuring our environment is safe and non-triggering.
- Comprehensive Services: Our program includes individual psychotherapy, group therapy, and supportive counseling.
- Testing & Monitoring: We provide regular urine/drug screenings, including those required for court or change-of-custody situations.
The PBHG Difference: Continuity & Compassion
At Preferred Behavioral Health Group, we understand that recovery is difficult to focus on when your basic human needs aren’t met. We treat the whole person, not just the diagnosis.
The Continuum of Care
One of our greatest strengths is continuity. As you progress from Partial Care to our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), you often stay with the same trusted medical team. You won't have to retell your story to a stranger every time you step down a level of care.
Compassionate Amenities
We provide a welcoming environment where dignity is the priority. We provide meals, snacks, and coffee on-site. Furthermore, for those facing food insecurity at home, we offer direct access to a food pantry located directly across the street.
Admissions & Referrals
We accept referrals from hospitals, other treatment facilities, courts, and self-referrals.
For clients involved in the legal system, we provide seamless communication with law enforcement and courts, including treatment update letters and compliance reporting when required.
