Outpatient Rehab Built Around a Morristown Workday
Morristown is the county seat of Morris County, a town of about 20,200 people completely surrounded by Morris Township. Life here centers on the Morristown Green, Morristown National Historical Park and Morristown Medical Center. NJ Transit’s Morristown Line runs to Hoboken and New York Penn Station, and Interstate 287 passes right through town.
If your day is built around a train commute, a hospital shift or a full office schedule, our evening intensive outpatient track lets you attend treatment after work. The day track suits people who work evenings or are between jobs, and virtual IOP brings the same sessions to your home.

Levels of Care for Morristown Residents
Treatment starts with an assessment, and your clinician recommends the level that fits. Partial care is our most structured option, with several hours of treatment a day on multiple days each week. Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) meets three to four times a week for about three hours per session, usually for eight to twelve weeks. As you progress, our outpatient program and aftercare keep support in place with fewer sessions.
Treatment for Cocaine, Alcohol and Opioid Use
There is no FDA-approved medication for cocaine addiction, so treatment relies on therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps you recognize the situations, people and feelings that lead to use and build practical ways to handle them.
For alcohol or opioid use disorder, medication-assisted treatment is available in our office. We prescribe buprenorphine (often known as Suboxone) and naltrexone, always alongside counseling. We also treat heroin and fentanyl addiction, prescription drug addiction and meth addiction.
Inside Our Outpatient Program
Each IOP week includes group therapy with other adults working through similar challenges, individual therapy with your counselor, and skills work on cravings, triggers and stress. Motivational interviewing helps you build on your own reasons for change, family therapy is part of the program, and 12-step principles are available if they help you.
If anxiety, depression or trauma is part of what you are dealing with, our dual diagnosis treatment addresses it in the same plan.

Morristown Drug Rehab FAQs
Is there an outpatient drug rehab near Morristown, NJ?
Yes. The Hope Institute offers outpatient drug and alcohol rehab at 179 Cahill Cross Road in West Milford, about 40 minutes from Morristown via I-287. Morristown residents can attend IOP in person on a day or evening track, or join virtual IOP from home.
Do you treat cocaine addiction?
Yes. Our outpatient program treats cocaine addiction with cognitive behavioral therapy, group and individual counseling, and relapse prevention work. If alcohol or other drugs are also involved, we treat them in the same plan.
What is the difference between partial care and IOP?
Both are outpatient, so you go home each day. Partial care is more intensive, with several hours of treatment a day on multiple days each week. IOP meets three to four times a week for about three hours per session, which makes it easier to keep working.
What happens during rehab?
Outpatient rehab starts with an assessment, then regular therapy sessions: group therapy, one-on-one counseling and skills work on cravings, triggers and stress. Family sessions and medication are added when they fit your plan. As you progress, sessions become less frequent until you move into aftercare.
What is cognitive behavioral therapy for addiction?
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-focused therapy that shows how your thoughts, feelings and actions connect to substance use. You learn to recognize triggers, challenge the thoughts that lead to using and practice new ways to cope. CBT is used in both group and individual sessions in our program.
