SERV Behavioral Health System Inc

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox. The nearest alternative is in Passaic, about a mile away, if you want something to compare it against.

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

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Clifton offers both.

They work in Spanish as well as English. Ask whether the group sessions in Clifton are in Spanish too, or only the one to one ones.

They are outpatient, and nobody inside 14 miles of Clifton offers a bed, which is worth knowing if being away from home is the point of it.

They treat both. A diagnosis left untreated while the substance use is treated is the usual reason a first attempt does not hold, and Passaic is the nearest place to try instead if this one does not fit.

Mandated treatment is ordinary treatment with reporting attached, and many centers take court referrals as a matter of course. What gets reported is normally attendance rather than anything said in a session. Ask who signs the completion paperwork and how long it takes.

The medication review is part of intake, and it is one of the reasons intake asks so many health questions. Where a program has no prescriber of its own, what you take stays with whoever already manages it. Any change to what you take is a conversation with a prescriber, never a decision from a page like this.
