Catholic Charities to open new ambulatory detox clinic in Trenton
Catholic Charities, Diocese of Trenton is opening a new ambulatory detox clinic to round out a full complement of addiction and mental health recovery treatment services offered at their Trenton campus located at North Clinton Avenue and Southard Street. This new program opens in the next few months. “The addition of this new clinic, offering safe and cost-effective treatment for individuals seeking recovery from opioid and other substance dependence is much needed,” said Marlene Laó-Collins, Executive Director of Catholic Charities, Diocese of Trenton.
The ambulatory detox clinic is the final component of the Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), a federally sponsored initiative that integrates behavioral health services, substance abuse treatment, and primary care at Catholic Charities’ Trenton campus. This initiative launched on July 1st and has already produced measurable improvements in treatment outcomes. “In just four months, consumers receiving care through the CCBHC have seen an overall reduction in the need for hospitalization and improved access to integrated services,” observed Susan Loughery, Director of Operations at Catholic Charities.
