Helping You Heal from Mental Health

Conditions like depression, anxiety, or personality disorders can significantly impact our quality of life, affecting everything from our mood to our physical health.
Unfortunately, many individuals struggling with mental health issues may turn to self-medication as a way to cope. This can lead to a cycle of dependency and further mental health challenges.
At Relevance Recovery, we understand the importance of addressing mental health concerns with the right support and treatment. Our facility in Freehold, New Jersey, specializes in providing comprehensive care for a wide range of mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more.
We offer evidence-based therapies such as Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Brain Spotting, Equine Therapy, Inner Child Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) to address the root causes of mental health issues and promote lasting recovery.
In addition to therapy, we provide a holistic approach to healing, including weekly massage therapy, music therapy, yoga, social activities, meditation, and more. Our goal is to create a supportive environment where individuals can focus on their well-being and build the skills needed for long-term mental health.

Mental health issues and addiction are not easy to deal with. Fortunately, there are mental health and substance abuse services that offer outpatient mental health treatment. Here’s what you can expect when you register at mental health facilities in NJ.
Assisted Detox: If you are dealing with addiction alongside your Mental Health issues the first step of the process will be to go through assisted detox. During this period, you will experience withdrawal symptoms that may make you want to use again.
However, a medical professional will be by your side throughout this crucial stage. They will see to it that you are as comfortable as possible and treat symptoms with medication. They will make sure you don’t relapse.
Partial Hospitalization: Partial hospitalization is a type of outpatient mental health treatment. It is recommended for those dealing with mental health issues and addiction.
This type of treatment requires you to stay in the facility from 9 AM to 3 PM. You are free to go home to your family at night.
The treatment will involve customized therapy. The staff will analyze your condition to work out a treatment plan that’s best for you. While treatments may vary, they are generally used to target the underlying cause of addiction and find healthy coping mechanisms that replace the need to use.
Intensive Outpatient Mental Health Care: Outpatient mental health care can be the first step of treatment for some patients, or it can follow partial hospitalization once symptoms improve. Basically, patients continue with care as they learn to adjust back to the real world. They are given the support they need to maintain sobriety while dealing with stressors.
The number of hours of therapy patients will require per week during this phase will vary. It will depend on their current condition. It is hopeful that the need for sessions will continue to decrease as time goes on.
How Mental Health and Substance Abuse Are Tied Together
It is not unusual for people dealing with mental illness to self-medicate instead of getting help. They use drugs and alcohol to treat their symptoms.
While drugs and alcohol can bring on euphoric feelings that may mask the symptoms of mental illness, they often make matters worse. For instance, many drugs, like alcohol, are actually depressants. While they might make users feel mellow at first, they will ultimately cause a big downer that worsens symptoms of mental illness.
Stimulants will cause a surge of energy that promotes positive thinking, but that thinking is often unrealistic. Furthermore, the comedown results in a devastating low which exacerbates mental health issues.
Things get even more complicated if an addiction forms. Addiction causes people to lose their jobs and their friends. It can result in financial and legal issues. It also increases the risk of certain medical conditions.
Addiction does little to help people with mental illness. It only makes matters worse.
