NTEE Code: F20: Substance Abuse Dependency, Prevention & Treatment

MISSION - WHAT WE DO

APR is in business to prevent some of the harm caused by substance use and violence.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Treatment In 2008, Atlantic Prevention Resources (APR) became licensed by the New Jersey Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services to provide outpatient and intensive outpatient substance abuse treatment for adults. Services include interventions, initial assessments, individual, group, and family counseling, and Certified Peer Recovery support led by licensed and certified clinicians specializing in addiction recovery. The APR treatment team is committed to providing the highest quality of service by using evidence-based practice, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and more. We firmly believe in the theory that addiction is a progressive disease, which is treatable through proper intervention and motivational strategies. APR empowers clients through Solution- Focused, Strength-Based interventions, while understanding and advocating for the dignity and respect of all served. Furthermore, APR is a culturally competent agency that stands against discrimination targeted toward, race, ethnicity, socio-economic class, sexual orientation, gender identity, religion, age. If you or a loved one is having problems with substance abuse, we can help. Our goal is to have them live a healthy life, free of substances. We care because a lot of us at APR have been there too. We understand first-hand what substance abuse can do to families and individuals. We are not only guided by clinical knowledge, but also by personal experience.
