The Lennard Clinic

The Basics

The Lennard Clinic is licensed by the New Jersey Department of Human Services and offers a full range of services including Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT), counseling and detox services. With two branches in New Jersey—one in Newark and the other in Elizabeth—the Lennard Clinic has provided both basic outpatient treatment and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) using evidence based methods for over 20 years, primarily serving individuals recovering from opioid abuse.

Treatment and Staff

The treatment program at LC is specifically tailored for those suffering from opioid addiction, however the outpatient program supports recovery from all forms of substance abuse. For those seeking treatment for opioid addiction, LC offers medication-assisted treatment using Suboxone and methadone. An initial assessment is used to determine which medication would be most beneficial to the client and to develop an individualized treatment plan.

Clients participate in one weekly individual therapy session and group therapy three times a week for three hour sessions. Therapists utilize CBT methodology and group sessions cover topics including addiction education, the nature of chemical dependency, relapse prevention, aftercare planning and independent living skills. Family sessions can also be scheduled as needed. Treatment for co-occurring disorders is also available and integrated into individual sessions. The 12 steps are not integrated into the program, but attendance of meetings is encouraged.

The staff at the Lennard Clinic consists of LPCs, RNs and LCDCs.

Extras

In addition to opioid detox and substance abuse programs, the Lennard Clinic also offers a range of HIV and STI services. These services include HIV pre/post diagnosis counseling, medical and clinical services, case management services for early and advanced cases of HIV as well as outreach and prevention programs. Specialized services for pregnant women and women with dependent children are also available.

In Summary

The Lennard Clinic is committed to serving the community with medication assisted detox and basic outpatient services. With special services for pregnant women, co-occurring disorders and individuals diagnosed with HIV, the Lennard Clinic is more than just detox. But clients needing help recovering from opioid addiction will find a comprehensive recovery program tailored specifically for their needs.
