Postpartum Depression Treatment Center in New Jersey

Our inpatient program offers a safe and structured environment for those needing the highest level of care. Here, new mothers receive round-the-clock support and access to intensive treatment that includes medical supervision, therapy, and holistic interventions. This immersive setting allows for 24/7 monitoring of physical and emotional well-being, which is especially important for mothers who may be at risk for self-harm or have severe symptoms. Our goal is to stabilize symptoms, provide a foundation for ongoing recovery, and ensure that mothers feel supported as they begin healing.

Our partial-day program is designed for mothers who need high support but do not require overnight care. This option allows mothers to spend their evenings at home while participating in structured treatment during the day. The program combines intensive therapy with the flexibility to return to a home environment, helping to balance the demands of recovery with family life. It also offers the opportunity to practice coping strategies in real-world settings while still receiving the guidance and support necessary for healing.

The Intensive Outpatient Program offers a step down from the partial day program, providing structured therapeutic support while allowing more independence. This program includes multiple therapy sessions per week and is ideal for mothers balancing their recovery with responsibilities at home, such as caring for a newborn or managing other family obligations. The IOP focuses on providing a consistent support network through individual and group therapy while gradually helping mothers regain a sense of autonomy and confidence in managing their symptoms.

Outpatient services provide ongoing support and therapy sessions as mothers continue their healing journey. This level of care is less intensive and is often used as a follow-up to inpatient or IOP care, ensuring that new mothers have access to the support they need as they transition back to their daily lives. Outpatient therapy focuses on maintaining progress, preventing relapse, and providing a safe space for mothers to address any emerging concerns or challenges as they adjust to life after treatment.

For many women, medication can be an essential component of treatment for postpartum depression. Our psychiatric team at Stone River Behavioral Health works closely with each mother to determine the appropriate medication and dosage to help stabilize mood and alleviate symptoms. Medication management is tailored to individual needs and continuously monitored to ensure the best possible outcome. We provide ongoing assessments and adjustments to ensure the medication remains effective, helping mothers regain emotional balance while minimizing side effects.

Counseling is at the heart of our treatment approach. Our licensed therapists use evidence-based methods to help mothers understand and process their feelings, providing a safe, non-judgmental space to explore emotions. We offer individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy to address the diverse needs of each woman, fostering a sense of connection, healing, and empowerment. These sessions teach coping skills, strengthen resilience, and support mothers as they rebuild their confidence and self-worth throughout their postpartum journey.
