Ocean Monmouth Care

"OMC is a great place for addicts who are ready to quit using and who want to learn to live with responsibility. This is not a place for addicts who still want to use and live that life. If you still want to get high, I do not suggest coming here as it will surely end unfavorably. OMC is a wonderful clinic, it gave me the opportunity to change my way of thinking and earn my life back. It didn't happen all at once, but over time I was able to gain back most of what I lost to drugs and alcohol. With help from the nursing staff and a lot of help from my counselor, today I have over 5 years clean and able to be a man who is relied upon and trusted. I am a better son to my parents, I have strong relationships with my brothers and even with their families. I am called upon and listened to with respect today and that is something I though I'd lost. Again, nothing happened overnight and I wasn't given anything, but with help from OMC it was made possible. Everything I have today I earned through hard work and scafrice. As much as I have today, as hard as it was to get it and as much as I appropriate it, I know that I can lose it all in an instant if I decide to use drugs again. I am very thankful to OMC and the staff that help me keep my life on track and going forward. OMC saved my life and helped me reach a point where I am confident in myself and enthusiastic about my future."

"Extremely dedicated nurses and an excellent doctor. With the help of the nurses and Dr. W you'll be in pretty good shape. If you're serious about getting your life together, ask for George as your counselor. Like everything in life, this is all up to you. You'll get out of this experience exactly what you put into it. Good luck."

"Been going here for a very long time now. This is the best clinic in NJ. I’ve read some other reviews that say things about Dr. Tutu that aren’t true. Dr. Tutu is a great Dr. and he knows what he is doing. With his help, I’ve gotten my life back, and I’ve had it back for 6 years now. The reason people have a problem with him is because he is strict, as he should be when dealing with this type of treatment. Being strict is the ONLY way this program works-letting people “slide” only enables them to do poorly. Many people I’ve heard complain and cuss about him in the waiting room are people who want to abuse the program to get high and/or who clearly are not clean. Dr. Tutu is actually very kind and does have a heart. Every time I’ve seen him, I wave and say hi to him and he waves, says hi back, and smiles."

"Been going here for I believe 5 years now- there is a serious staff turnover, but that’s with any type of substance abuse establishment. It’s hard to find people to work in these places. I must say though the front desk is always nice, the nurses are all very sweet, helpful, and kind and all of the counselors I’ve had have been great. Also there’s never a wait (obviously since Covid it’s less) but even before that compared to the few other clinics I’ve been to this one’s the best- and always clean! A+"

"This place has been nothing short of great. It really helps that my counselor Ande is one of my favorite people in the world.Always there for me when I needed someone.The entire staff from director ,nurses and the front desk staff led by Jen ,who is also a great asset there.When I was homeless and down and out.I was lucky to have some of the most compassionate people I've ever known to be there for me when nobody else was including family."
