This treatment facility tries to help in what area and all around wat your issue is and basically its up to you if you want to stay clean you will they dont ask any thing of you but to participate in your recovery !!!

The negative comments about this clinic don’t make sense to me. I have been here since April 2013 and it has always worked for me. If you are a recovering addict and you are ready to change your life, that’s when this program will work for you. It is very unfortunate that right outside the door on the street there are numerous people selling their methadone and other drugs. You have to be in a good spot mentally to be able to walk into this building, receive your medicine and walk away. They do provide police protection everyday inside the clinic. I wish they would also put a policeman outside to help stop the drug dealing. The clinic opens on time and has NEVER closed early. They are very strict with making sure the doors are locked at closing time, so if you happen to be 5 minuets late, then you dont get medicated. That is not the clinics fault. If you have a job, you are able to get medicated an hour earlier than anyone else. They open at 6am for those who work, otherwise, the doors open at 7am. They stop medicating at 12 noon but the counselors are still available until 4pm on most days. Most of the counsellors that work here have been here for many years. They are polite, respectful and very helpful. Again, I don’t understand many of the negative comments regarding the counsellors and their rude behaviour. I have witnessed on many occasions clients being rude and disrespectful to the counsellors. These counsellors won’t put up with that, not for one second and they shouldn’t have to. I’m sure they’re very used to unstable beings coming in and out of this establishment on a regular basis. There are not many methadone treatment facilities. I wish there were more out there because I believe this medication works wonderfully.

They wonderful ppl here I've never had a problem with any meds and they do really care,especially Flores known as magalee I love her!!!!! Iam who iam thanks to her caring!!!!

The counselors are amazing and this place works with you and helps you anyway they can!!

First of all the one person is talking about 1984-85 a lot of things change in 30 years. If she cannot resist the temptation maybe she should have been in a treatment center instead of methadone. I'm not saying people don't try and sell drugs outside but it is 10x better than it was just 10 years ago. They kick people off the program that hang after they are done dosing. Second you have to speak to a doctor and deal with nurses and last time I checked it's not a requirement to learn Spanish for the job. With patient confidentiality you cannot translate for her. The people there are far from racist with ppl from various backgrounds work there. Third if your serious about being clean this place can be a lifesaver as it was for myself and the people that work there are friendly and I don't have a bad thing to say about Paterson Counseling Center. It is also always staffed with police officers so people do not deal out in the open like yyou make it seem. In fact, if your on Xanax or any other benzo you have a choice of staying on the methadone and stopping the benzos. I have seen personally someone ripped on drugs and the dosing nurse refused to give them methadone. If you want to go over a certain milligram of meth you will have to take a test to see if your metabolism is super fast. One last thing I have been to other clinics in the past and every single one had people outside dealing drugs and were much worse than Paterson Counseling Center.

This clinic is a disgrace for pa person addicts ,I call this clinic looking for help for my sister and they told me rt hat if my sister do not know how to speak english or understand and English she cannot enter the program that sound like racism for me ,this its so wrong you meant to tell me that somebody that want the help its not entitle to get help cause of their language I'm calling the state and the and the better business bureau in you you sjuld be ashamed I was in this clinic and I saw people being dirty on drugs and not making a good use of the services but people that really want the help can't get it this is going to change the director of this s clinic I very racist and if they think I'm going to stay quiet with this they are wrong .this is a human life this is a person we are talking about and its my sister I'm gonna ng to go where ever I got to go and do what I have to do to report this nonsense .its very disgusting ,and the lady that answer the phone was very disrespectful .
