About Alternative Counseling Method LLC

Alternative Counseling Method LLC is an adult substance use treatment program in Neptune, New Jersey, offering outpatient counseling for people working to overcome addiction and stay sober. Their approach is strengths-based: clients identify their own potential, set personal goals, and work toward a meaningful role in their community that they choose for themselves. They provide two levels of care. Standard outpatient (ASAM Level 1) includes up to nine hours of counseling per week, and intensive outpatient (Level 2.1) includes nine or more hours, with admission based on specific clinical criteria.

Treatment follows the Living in Balance curriculum, an evidence-based program that combines cognitive, behavioral, and experiential methods with a strong focus on relapse prevention. At both levels of care, clients take part in group therapy, individual therapy, and regular drug screening, and each person builds a personalized relapse prevention plan. Dedicated relapse prevention counseling is also available for those who want ongoing support in maintaining sobriety. They also complete substance use assessments for personal reasons, legal requirements, or child welfare cases, which can help people facing court or family service obligations.
