About American Habitare and Counseling

American Habitare and Counseling treats substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. They offer day treatment, intensive outpatient, and standard outpatient programs. The center allows for immediate access to care by welcoming walk-ins and maintaining no waitlist, ensuring that individuals can start their recovery journey without unnecessary delays.
Personalized treatment is developed for each patient based on their unique strengths and needs. By using evidence-based approaches such as 1-on-1 counseling, group therapy, and skill-building workshops, patients are empowered to address the root causes of their addiction. These therapies provide the essential tools and support needed to build a foundation for lasting wellness and sobriety.
The center provides medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid use disorder, which combines FDA-approved medications like methadone, buprenorphine, and naltrexone with behavioral therapies. They also run fee-for-service programs for individuals involved with the justice system, including drug court and parole services. American Habitare and Counseling offers these services in both English and Spanish to provide care that is both accessible and culturally responsive for the community.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does American Habitare and Counseling accept Medicaid?
SAMHSA data does not list Medicaid among this facility's accepted payment types. Call (973) 799-0508 directly to confirm — coverage may have changed since the last SAMHSA sync. You can also browse other NJ centers that accept Medicaid.
What level of care does American Habitare and Counseling offer?

How do I start treatment at American Habitare and Counseling?
Call the facility directly at (973) 799-0508 for an intake assessment. Our free 24/7 helpline (+1 (205) 973-2878) can also help you compare programs, verify insurance, and navigate options. No physician referral is required.
Is treatment confidential?
Yes. Federal law (42 CFR Part 2) provides strict confidentiality protections for substance use treatment records — stricter than HIPAA. Records cannot be disclosed without written consent, even to family, employers, or law enforcement.
What happens when you call? (general intake process)

Most treatment centers follow a 4-step intake: (1) confidential assessment — substance history, mental health, insurance, preferences (protected by 42 CFR Part 2); (2) insurance verification — facility contacts your plan to confirm coverage and out-of-pocket costs; (3) level-of-care recommendation — clinical staff match you to detox, residential, PHP, IOP, or outpatient based on severity; (4) admission typically within 24–48 hours. Timing varies by facility and bed availability.
