Steven Heim currently operates as the Outpatient Supervisor for New Hope Integrated Behavioral Health Care. Located in the heart of Monmouth County, New Hope is a non-profit agency that offers a wide array of services including inpatient, outpatient, and halfway house levels of care for adults and adolescents. New Hope offers substance use/ co-occurring treatment, and also bolsters itself as one of the few inpatient programs that will provide treatment for those with a primary gambling disorder. New Hope is currently partnered with 1-800 Gambler, where Steven acts as a primary representative in coordinating client care with the council. Through his own personal journey with addiction, Steven pursued an education in the field to serve others, and obtained both his undergraduate and Master of Social Work from Rutgers University. During his time at Rutgers, Steven engaged in the Addiction Counseling Training certificate program (ACT) where he obtained his 30-hours towards gaining his credential in treating gambling disorders. Currently holding an LSW, LCADC, ICGC-I, and CCS, Steven continues to see clients in the outpatient setting aside from his administrative duties, and continues to pursue further credentialing as he nears completion of his LCSW. Outside of being a new member to the APTPG, Steven works passionately in developing better delivery of treatment services, growing advocacy and awareness in the addictions field. Steven is also part of various community organizations including Overdose Fatality Review Teams (OFRT) through both Hudson and Somerset County, where he is able to further engage in macro level work outside of his micro level duties.
