One of the greatest benefits of a residential treatment program is time away from your regular routine. At Excel Behavioral Health, our inpatient, also known as residential treatment, program can provide clients with that distance and security. Clients are able to live at the facility while getting the highest level of care in a safe environment and have more time to work toward and focus on recovery.
The facilities that Excel Behavioral Health works with are located in New Jersey. We can help clients from Cherry Hill, Princeton, Atlantic County and other New Jersey areas find high-quality treatment in an environment that’s not too far from home.
The most significant difference between outpatient and inpatient care is that with residential treatment, clients reside in the treatment center. Excel Behavioral Health’s clients get 24/7 assistance from the staff and each client is able to participate in his or her own recovery. Clients receive support with meals, medications, therapies and other wellness activities. This frees the clients to focus on their treatment without being distracted by other areas of daily life.
Clients can recover with either outpatient or inpatient treatment. However, if you or your loved one needs the most intensive level of care and time away from your day-to-day routine, residential treatment can provide that foundation for your continued recovery. Excel Behavioral Health is proud to offer inpatient rehab to New Jersey residents, as well as other high-quality treatment options that are both affordable and conveniently located near home.
Excel Behavioral Health’s Inpatient Program offers a comprehensive continuum of care, including medical detox and a complete residential treatment program in New Jersey. This program provides our clients with the time and space they need to experience physical, mental, and emotional healing in a private, professional, and compassionate setting.
The first step to your recovery journey starts with our medically assisted detox program. During this time, your body has an opportunity to reset, safely and efficiently flushing out drugs or alcohol while a team of licensed medical professionals work to minimize and manage any discomfort or symptoms of withdrawal you may experience. All of our clients are continuously monitored by our medical staff 24/7, with medications provided as needed to keep you as safe and comfortable as possible.
With our medical detox in a peaceful, private, and serene environment, you will be able to begin treatment with a fresh start and focus on your healing journey.
Following detox, clients engage in a personalized treatment plan that is a unique combination of evidence-based treatment with complementary and holistic approaches to wellness. You will work with a team of knowledgeable and skilled therapists, counselors, and other staff to help clients work through the root causes of addiction with a wide range of individual and group therapy options, trauma-informed treatment, family therapy and sessions, relapse prevention education, and dual diagnosis treatment for co-occurring mental health issues.
We know that all of the work you put into recovery takes place in the space that you’re in, which is why our facilities in New Jersey are some of the best in the business. With your own private or semi-private room, chef-designed meals, outdoor spaces, a fitness center, and opportunities for meditation and yoga, you’ll be able to live a balanced, healthy lifestyle that will help to set you up for success now and long after you’ve left our residential program.
Our highly trained and experienced clinical team will work with you and your family to not only support you during your time in residential treatment but also to plan for what’s next and help you make a successful transition back to daily life. During this process, we will make referrals and provide resources for ongoing outpatient care, support groups, and other types of treatment or recovery services, as well as programs to keep you connected and supported in your long-term wellness goals. Other services you can expect at our inpatient rehab in Nj include:

CBT is a widely used therapy that focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. It equips individuals with strategies to manage stressful situations, alter unwanted behavior, and treat various mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression.
EMDR is a form of psychotherapy that helps individuals heal from trauma or distressing life experiences. It involves the patient recalling distressing events while receiving one of several types of bilateral sensory input, such as side-to-side eye movements or hand tapping.
Motivational Interviewing is a counseling approach that helps individuals resolve ambivalent feelings and insecurities to find the internal motivation they need to change their behavior. It’s particularly effective in treating addiction by helping individuals recognize their values and concerns.
Family-based therapy involves family members in the treatment process to improve communication, solve family problems, understand and handle special family situations, and create a better functioning home environment.
Group therapy is a form of psychotherapy that involves one or more therapists working with several people at the same time. It provides a supportive network and encourages individuals to share experiences, coping strategies, and personal insights.
Group activities in therapeutic settings involve structured tasks or leisure activities in a group format. They are designed to foster communication, trust, and social skills, while also providing relief from symptoms and an opportunity to learn from others.
MBCT combines cognitive therapy with meditative practices and attitudes based on the cultivation of mindfulness. It’s particularly effective in preventing the recurrence of depression, especially for those with major depressive disorder.
These sessions focus on educating individuals about their conditions and related issues. In a group setting, participants learn coping strategies, the nature of their conditions, and how to manage symptoms or improve personal skills.
This is a goal-oriented therapy focusing on present and future circumstances and goals rather than past experiences. The therapist encourages the client to develop a vision of the future and offers support as they determine the skills, resources, and abilities needed to achieve that vision.
12-step groups are a form of mutual support groups that offer a structured approach to recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems. They follow the 12 steps, a set of guiding principles outlining a course of action for recovery from addiction, compulsion, or other behavioral problems. Examples include Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous.
Excel treatment has changed my life! The staff starting from the intake process, to all the clinicians are amazing! I really enjoy that. Most of the staff are in recovery and relate to me I have been shown so much support, understanding, and accommodation above and beyond!
While the prospect of paying for inpatient rehab in New Jersey might seem daunting at first, there are many effective options available to ensure treatment is affordable and accessible. At Excel Behavioral Health, we guide each client through their financial options so that cost is never a barrier to receiving quality care.
Covered by Health Insurance
Most major insurance carriers provide coverage for inpatient rehab and other mental health treatment in accordance with the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA). Signed into federal law in 2008, the MHPAEA requires insurance companies to offer benefits for behavioral health conditions at parity with benefits for other medical conditions. Excel Behavioral Health works with clients with various insurance plans, including Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, and many others. We’ll verify your benefits upfront and provide a clear explanation of what your policy covers. Coverage often includes detox, therapy, medications, and residential treatment.
Private Pay and Financing
Private pay, also known as self-pay, is another option for financing inpatient rehab in New Jersey. At Excel Behavioral Health, we offer flexible self-pay rates and financing options to make treatment more affordable for clients without insurance or who do not wish to utilize their coverage. Many clients choose this route for privacy or if their insurance plan only covers outpatient treatment or provides a short-term benefit for residential care.
State and Local Assistance Programs
There are various state and local programs available to New Jersey residents that can make addiction and mental health treatment more affordable. The Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) is the New Jersey government agency that administers publicly funded addiction treatment programs. Eligible applicants can apply for assistance through DMHAS, and many counties offer grants or vouchers to eligible residents as well.
Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs)
If you are employed, check to see if your workplace has an Employee Assistance Program. EAPs often provide limited coverage for short-term treatment and may be able to connect you to providers like Excel Behavioral Health who accept EAP referrals for longer-term care.
Inpatient rehab programs provide a comprehensive suite of treatment options tailored to each individual’s unique needs. These may include one-on-one therapy, group discussions, and family involvement, alongside comprehensive case management and psychoeducational sessions. Our Inpatient Rehab in NJ is designed to offer an immersive and therapeutic environment where individuals can expect:
Distractions and triggers can hinder the addiction recovery process. In residential care, you are provided with a daily structure and routine. This helps you remain focused on recovery and the activities and responsibilities of your routine.
Part of residential care is taking on responsibilities and therapeutic duties. This might include cleaning, helping others, and working together in a group. These responsibilities and duties help to restore a sense of normality. They also promote accountability and help residents bond with each other.
Many of our clients suffer from low self-esteem. One of our goals is to build that back up. Being trusted to take care of part of the treatment center instills a sense of self-worth. Small things such as making sure the yard is clean can have a hugely beneficial effect.
Drug addiction is a frightening and lonely experience, and people feel isolated from society. Living with a group of people on the same journey as you is a great way to integrate back into regular life while being supported during difficult times.
Professional care and support are available 24/7 in a residential rehab facility. This means that even if you wake up in the middle of the night with overwhelming cravings, support is immediately available. Having access to 24/7 support can make a huge difference in the challenging early days of recovery.
Withdrawal symptoms fade over time. Still, the length of withdrawal is different for each client. Cravings can be overwhelming, but they are not the only difficulties faced during withdrawal. Other symptoms include anxiety, depression, despair, physical pain, and vivid nightmares.
These symptoms can cause psychological distress. In severe cases, clients might experience suicidality. Our psychological support is available around the clock for any residential client experiencing difficulty.
Relapse is common among those in recovery from addiction. If a person continues to live in the environment in which their addiction developed, then the factors contributing to their addiction might still be around. These factors might be people with a negative influence or the comfort of a familiar setting.
In residential care, you get a fresh start. You won’t be around any of your triggers. The environment is fully supportive of your recovery. The staff and the other residents support your recovery journey and have no intention of getting in the way of your healing process.
Cravings are an inevitable symptom of addiction. Though cravings can be managed with physical and psychological support, they can still sometimes be extremely overwhelming.
People in recovery from addiction are at risk of relapse when these intense cravings come up. In residential care, clients have no access to drugs or alcohol other than those prescribed and supervised by the facility’s medical staff.
Throughout your stay at a residential facility, you will participate in therapies and activities that support your personal growth, emotional resilience, and distress tolerance. The tools and techniques for coping and self-management taught in rehab can be carried into life after rehab and applied whenever you need them.
Our residential treatment centers in New Jersey offer a homelike atmosphere with comfort foods, nutritious meal plans designed by a dietitian, and plenty of refreshments available around the clock.
Inpatient treatment programs are a more intensive form of rehabilitation than outpatient programs. It is not a matter of ‘better’ or ‘worse’—it comes down to what is most appropriate for you, the client. Outpatient treatment programs allow clients to continue with their daily lives and responsibilities outside of treatment. Inpatient involves removing yourself from your daily life while you begin the recovery journey. There are benefits to both, and the most important thing is your recovery. The most appropriate type of treatment will be determined by an addiction professional following an assessment of your specific needs and history of substance abuse.
Our NJ Inpatient Treatment center is equipped to provide crisis stabilization for individuals dealing with both addiction and psychiatric symptoms, offering immediate care and a comprehensive psychiatric assessment to determine the necessary treatment approach.
The duration of stay in inpatient rehab varies greatly depending on individual circumstances including the type of substance used, the severity of addiction, and any coexisting health conditions. Treatment durations can range from a brief medical detoxification to longer-term programs combining inpatient and outpatient care.
Upon completion of inpatient treatment, the recovery journey continues with carefully planned aftercare. From the moment of admission, our team of experienced clinicians and case managers work collaboratively to craft a personalized post-treatment strategy.
We understand that recovery is an ongoing process and offer various levels of care to support this journey, including Partial Hospitalization, Intensive Outpatient, and Standard Outpatient Programs. Our commitment extends beyond the treatment period, with comprehensive aftercare plans and robust alumni networks to support ongoing recovery and wellbeing. Our team ensures a smooth transition back into everyday life, with arrangements for follow-up care and ongoing support tailored to each individual’s needs
Inpatient, or residential, treatment provides the structure, supervision, and therapeutic focus needed to help individuals overcome substance use disorders. Studies show that people who enter inpatient programs are more likely to complete treatment than those in outpatient care—one review found they were three times more likely to finish their program. Research also shows that longer stays lead to better outcomes, with long-term residential treatment (18 months or more) significantly reducing substance use and improving overall quality of life.
Relapse rates for substance use disorders typically range from 40% to 60%, but participation in inpatient care helps strengthen long-term recovery by removing daily triggers and providing 24-hour clinical and emotional support. The immersive nature of inpatient rehab allows clients to focus completely on healing while building the tools and resilience needed to maintain sobriety after discharge.
Length of stay in a residential program is associated with better outcomes. Meta-analysis of studies on long-term residential treatment (18 months or more) indicated a significant effect in reducing substance use and improving quality of life.
Inpatient rehab is more than just a break from daily life—it’s a focused, therapeutic environment that lays the foundation for lasting change. For those ready to take control of their recovery, inpatient treatment provides the stability, accountability, and professional care necessary to start anew with confidence.
If you or a loved one are struggling with addiction and mental health concerns, help is here.

From evidence-based treatments, to compassionate staff and numerous program options, we’re confident we can help you on your journey. Contact us today to get started with inpatient rehab in NJ.
What is inpatient rehab?
