Family Guidance Center of Warren County operates as an established outpatient clinic serving the Phillipsburg area and broader Warren County community since 1968. Located at 379 Kearny Avenue, this addiction treatment center functions as a primary screening facility with extended evening hours Monday through Wednesday to accommodate working adults seeking recovery support.

Staff provide screening assessments to determine appropriate care levels and connect individuals with ongoing support services throughout Warren County's recovery community.
The center serves residents of Phillipsburg, Washington, and surrounding Warren County areas who need flexible outpatient addiction treatment options.

Outpatient Programs and IOP Services
Family Guidance Center provides two primary levels of outpatient care designed to meet different recovery needs within the Warren County community. The standard outpatient program offers flexible scheduling for individuals who require ongoing addiction treatment while maintaining work, school, or family responsibilities. Sessions focus on developing coping strategies and addressing both substance use patterns and underlying mental health concerns through structured counseling approaches.
The intensive outpatient program delivers more frequent treatment sessions for individuals requiring additional structure in their recovery journey. This IOP model bridges the gap between residential treatment and standard outpatient care, providing multiple weekly sessions that address substance use disorder, alcohol use disorder, and co-occurring mental health conditions. Both programs incorporate the center's crisis intervention capabilities, ensuring participants have access to immediate support during challenging periods in recovery.

Mental Health and Substance Use Treatment Integration
Family Guidance Center addresses the complex relationship between substance use disorders and mental health conditions through integrated outpatient counseling services. This dual approach recognizes that effective addiction treatment often requires simultaneous attention to underlying anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health challenges that contribute to substance use patterns. The facility's treatment methods include both crisis intervention techniques and ongoing therapeutic support designed to address these interconnected issues.
The center's screening and assessment capabilities help identify co-occurring disorders that might impact recovery success. By treating both substance abuse and mental health concerns within the same program, participants avoid the common challenge of coordinating care between multiple providers.
