Here’s what sets our approach apart:
Experienced and Compassionate Practitioners: Our team of dedicated therapists, holistic practitioners, and wellness specialists are committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your addiction and develop effective coping skills.
At Body Positive Works, we recognize that your mind, body, and spirit are deeply connected. We believe that true healing comes from addressing these interconnected aspects. Led by Melanie Struble, a Certified Drug & Alcohol Counselor, Body Positive Works offers a compassionate approach that blends Eastern and Western practices to support individuals throughout their recovery journey.
Addiction is a complex manifestation of behavior that brings temporary relief or pleasure but also carries negative consequences. We echo the words of Dr. Gabor Maté, recognizing addiction as a source of information, a flashlight to the underlying human pain. Our goal is to understand the reasons behind addiction by exploring emotional pain, childhood wounds, trauma, and relationships. By acknowledging the role addiction plays in an individual’s life, we can provide the necessary support for abstinence, 12-Step recovery, and a deeper understanding of the healing process.
Our addiction services encompass a diverse range of modalities, all available under one roof. This comprehensive approach allows individuals to address their entire being – body, mind, and spirit – in their pursuit of recovery. Our welcoming and non-judgmental space encourages open dialogue about challenging coping mechanisms, providing support not only for individuals but also their families.
Recovery is a unique journey for each individual, and we walk alongside them every step of the way. Through short-term stabilization and long-term growth, we help individuals uncover the heart and mind issues behind their addiction. By delving into one’s past, perceptions, and belief systems, we facilitate greater self-awareness, promoting health and wellness in the process.
At Body Positive Works, we believe in the power of self-discovery. Our Wellness Center in Bergen County offers a holistic and integrative approach to health and wellness, guiding you on a journey back to your truest self, nurturing your mind, body, and spirit.
We understand that taking the first step towards recovery can be daunting.
At Body Positive Works, we prioritize a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment where you can feel comfortable and supported.
We’d be happy to help you understand your options and create a personalized plan for recovery. We are here to guide you on your journey toward a life filled with meaning and purpose.
