In addition to special programs for youth, <strong>women with children have access to focused care</strong>. The hospital also operates an inpatient behavioral health unit, where <strong>detoxification and acute counseling services are available</strong>. CarePoint, which operates two additional New Jersey hospitals, prioritizes preventive care and education.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>According to the CarePoint Health website, substance abuse treatment is concentrated mainly in Christ Hospital’s three outpatient programs. <strong>Low-intensity dual diagnosis treatment for adults</strong> with co-occurring disorders is offered through once-a-month individual counseling sessions, which clients are encouraged to supplement with weekly group sessions. Called the Outpatient Drug Free Program, this approach addresses <strong>coping skills, trauma, and anger management</strong>, among other concerns.</p> <p>Women who have children involved in the state Department of Youth and Family Services have access to <strong>daycare and transportation services</strong> while attending Project Second Chance at Christ Hospital, an intensive outpatient program. Fewer than <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/NJ16.pdf" target="_blank">eight percent (29) of New Jersey's 371</a> treatment facilities provide child care.</p> <p>Adolescents can participate in addiction and substance misuse services through two programs. The Youth Comprehensive Treatment Program is a <strong>dual diagnosis IOP for individuals involved in the court system between the ages 14 and 17</strong>. Programming for at-risk adolescents, youth who may not yet be addicted or progressed into substance abuse, is offered through Christ Hospital Adolescent Treatment (CHAT). Clients attend <strong>educational and therapeutic groups</strong> twice weekly and individual and family sessions once a month.</p> <p>Christ Hospital also operates a 16-week DUI Education Program.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>Christ Hospital's behavioral health and substance use treatment staff referenced on the CarePoint website include <strong>master’s level therapists and social workers</strong>, some with licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) credentials, and registered and student nurses.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has not yet received any reviews from this facility’s alumni.
