Substance Use Disorder Treatment
While many Americans have used alcohol or an illicit drug in their lifetime, most will never develop a substance use disorder. Substance use occurs along a continuum from abstinence to addiction, and some people may find themselves moving along this continuum at various points in their lives.
The majority of people will manage their substance use without seeking professional help. Many alter their patterns of use according to their health, and others simply need harm reduction support and materials to stay safe. Others who develop issues with their use will choose to pursue professional substance use disorder treatment.

Horses healing people might sound a bit airy-fairy, but it’s anything but, say two Tasman women who have seen grown men cry after spending time in equine assisted therapy. Sisters Julie Smith and Nicki Smith created Motueka-based equine activity and therapy centre, Being with Horses about 18 months ago and have seen vast changes in the men, women, children and families who have attended the programmes. Equine Assisted Therapy (EAT) is used around the world to help treat a variety of emotional and mental disabilities, and behavioural issues, and is recognised by New Zealand’s ACC, seeing Being with Horses take referrals for sensitive claims, including sexual abuse.

The development of this program is in response to the continued prevalence of opioid addiction in New Jersey and across the country. In the first half of 2020, New Jersey had a 13% increase in drug overdose deaths compared to 2019, as tallied by NJCARES. This is an area where we see an unmet need in the communities we treat, says Arel Meister-Aldama, CEO Sprout Health Group. It is our mission at Sprout to provide quality treatment programs that recognize each client s unique struggles and provide services that can improve their odds for achieving long-term recovery for behavioral health challenges. Medication Assisted Treatment needs to be an option for those struggling with addiction.
