CNT Revolutionized Addiction Treatment: Increased Efficacy & Access

Dr. Indra Cidambi, M.D., double board-certified in Addiction Medicine and board-certified in general psychiatry, founded CNT with a mission of making addiction treatment accessible to every individual who needs it. She was the first to innovate to Outpatient Detox for all substances – alcohol, benzos, opiates, anesthetics & stimulants – that made it possible for homemakers, single mothers, professionals, and students to access addiction treatment for alcohol withdrawal, benzo withdrawal, opiate withdrawal, anesthetic withdrawal and stimulant withdrawal with minimal disruption to their daily lives. They now do not have to choose between caring for their family, keeping up with work, or continuing with academic commitments and getting the treatment they need for addiction. Previous to this modernization of addiction treatment, alcohol detox & drug detox were almost exclusively provided in an inpatient setting which required individuals suffering from addiction to “drop” their life in order to get treatment. Also, the shift to Outpatient Detox in treatment aligns drug and alcohol treatment with the “disease model” of addiction, offering a groundbreaking alternative to the traditional inpatient approach. Dr. Cidambi’s transforming approach to addiction treatment has been recognized by the the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) and she was awarded a plaque for proving that the Outpatient Detox was safe and effective.

Dr. Cidambi’s innovative addiction treatment model is highly effective as it integrates the patients’ real-life environment into treatment. Until recently, inpatient detoxification was the standard for treating addiction, but it often led to less-than-optimal results because treatment was isolated from real life. This led to difficulties in applying relapse prevention techniques once treatment ended and caused frequent relapses and a repetitive cycle of seeking treatment. CNT’s innovative Outpatient Detox approach allows individuals to receive high-quality care while remaining in their everyday environments, making it easier to incorporate relapse prevention skills and coping mechanisms into their daily lives. CNT’s approach has been proven to deliver superior outcomes compared to inpatient addiction treatment. Our research indicates significantly higher abstinence rates for individuals who undergo Ambulatory, or Outpatient Detoxification, with a notable increase in 90+ day sobriety rates.
We deliberately limit the number of patients at our facilities in order to deliver customized treatment that meets the unique needs of each patient. While most detox facilities in New Jersey carry over 100 patients, we have designed our programs for the discerning. Small group sizes make for a personalized, intimate, confidential addiction treatment experience.
Addiction is a chronic brain disease, not a behavioral problem or a moral issue. While other chronic diseases such as HIV, diabetes or hypertension are almost always treated on an outpatient basis, addiction is the only chronic disease where the default treatment is provided in an inpatient setting. Therefore, traditional inpatient detoxification increased the stigma associated with addiction, as it required individuals to be removed from their roles in the home and the community. CNT’s outpatient detox model addresses stressors and triggers by integrating treatment into patients’ lives from the beginning. By allowing addiction treatment access from home, Outpatient Detox reduces the stigma associated with the disease of addiction.
Contemporary outpatient detoxification at CNT allows patients to address challenges as they arise in their living environment, as they are able to work directly with therapists to adjust coping strategies and relapse prevention techniques in real-time. This flexibility ensures that patients can seamlessly integrate new skills into their everyday lives, enhancing the likelihood of sustained recovery.
While it is easy to ask individuals suffering from addiction to drop everything and go inpatient for treatment, it is not easy to do! Arrangements have to be made for child care and other logistics, which postpones access to treatment. Even with careful planning, most patients are worried about how their family is coping in their absence, resulting in less-than-optimal participation in treatment. Our outpatient model is particularly beneficial for individuals with critical responsibilities, such as professionals and homemakers. By offering detoxification and withdrawal management services on an outpatient basis, CNT enables patients to largely continue with their home and work responsibilities while receiving effective addiction treatment. This approach removes the need for extended absences from work or home, making treatment more accessible and less disruptive.
CNT is credentialed and has achieved in-network status with all major health insurance providers, ensuring that patients pay the lowest possible out-of-pocket expenses – oftentimes there is no out-of-pocket cost at all! Our affiliation with health insurance providers like Aetna, AmeriHealth, Anthem BCBS, Beacon Health, Cigna, Emblem BCBS, Horizon BCBS, MagnaCare, Medicaid, Oscar, QualCare, and United Health Care/Optum/Oxford, as well as Emblem GHI, Humana, and Veterans Community Care Network, means minimal deductibles and co-pays for our clients.
At CNT, we realize that withdrawal can be excruciating and have rethought the admission process to prioritize medication administration to provide immediate withdrawal relief from opiate withdrawal, alcohol withdrawal, benzodiazepine withdrawal, stimulant withdrawal and anesthetic withdrawal symptoms. We have chosen to eliminate the need to wait for authorization from health insurance providers, helping our patients receive express relief from withdrawal symptoms. We also offer specialized detox services for individuals wanting to come off of methadone, Suboxone, Subutex, and buprenorphine. Supporting individuals who wish to transition off these medications with the necessary assistance to manage withdrawal, anxiety, depression, and cravings helps them to wean off their dependence, physical and psychological, from medications that support their recovery, but may no longer be needed.
