We believe that Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) gives our clients the HIGHEST CHANCE for success with recovery. Many people who struggle with addiction have underlying MENTAL HEALTH issues that bring their own set of unique causes and symptoms. My Friends House provides Intensive Outpatient (IOP), Outpatient (OP), Co-Occurring Therapy and Medicated Assisted Treatment (MAT) Services.
By understanding that treatment varies depending on the type of drug, as well as the mental and physical characteristics of the individual, a "cookie cutter" approach to treatment just does not work. We are one of the only treatment centers in the state that accepts Medicaid as well as being an In-Network provider with most major insurance carriers.

Dr. James Baird, D.O., is the Medical Director of My Friend's House and is one of the region's best-known experts on the topic of healthcare's role in stemming the opioid addiction in South Jersey. It is estimated that over 20 million Americans need drug or alcohol treatment while few are able to receive services from certified clinicians with specific training in addiction.
Ritajeanne Jacobs-Culp is the Executive Director at My Friend's House. She has been in the Mental Health and Substance Abuse field for over 20 years. Rita began her career Partial Care for those who have been diagnosed with Mental Health and Substance Abuse Disorders, and has since moved to the IOP/OP levels of care to focus on co-occurring issues in the last couple of years.
When substance abuse becomes an integral part of a person's life, addictive behavior can become destructive to that person and all their loved ones. Many people who struggle with addiction have underlying mental health issues. With Drug and Alcohol addiction, one cannot expect addictive behavior to stop without addressing these debilitating issues, like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and many others.
Behavioral Therapy treatment is designed to help treat mental health disorders. This type of therapy can help alleviate symptoms of mental health disorders like anxiety, addiction, OCD, PTSD, eating disorders, anger management, and bipolar. Different types of behavioral therapy have been proven to be extremely successful.
My Friends House offers Medicated Assisted Treatment (MAT), which is the use of medications with counseling and behavioral therapies to treat substance use disorders and prevent opioid overdose. We combine our Intensive Outpatient Program with MAT to provide a "whole-patient" approach to the treatment of substance use disorders.

For any people attending the group: go in with an open mindset to learn something about yourself! Everyone has moments that put us in these situations. This place teaches you the mindset to know the difference between mistakes and habitual issues and how to cope in bad environments as well. The staff is very helpful in making you feel comfortable and helping you on a personal level if you are struggling! That is important because in a treatment program, because most of us don’t want to talk about our issues publicly or to others at all. The group structure, when worked properly by the clients

I had the best experience that the possibly could be here, I was finished but still going bc I loved the therapy that I received. The counselors are great hands on n understanding, they want the best for you and aren’t out to see you fall down n get jammed up especially if ur there with legal issues.

My Experience there was just Amazing! I learned so much and everyone had each others back. We lifted each other up! The staff was so understanding and made me feel so comfortable I could tell them anything! It was like one big family there and no judgement. I actually looked forward to going there on my days and sometimes I would go just to go and learn something new! It was well worth my time and I gained so much knowledge by being there. But remember it’s really how much effort you put into this. You make it how you want it to be and others will follow! It’s your recovery, No One Else’s

I have been to other treatment facilities in my battle with addiction. What I have found is that this is a hands on approach with my prescription assisted recovery. They will not just give you medicine and send you on your way. You have to do the work and be in treatment. The group's are peer based and not a hard line 12 steps although they are encouraged.
I have found that they will work with you and your insurances and if like me you dont have they also will make sure they find a way to fit your budget as long as you are committed...
They have doctors in house that can and will diagnose you
