Detoxification is the first step in a residential recovery program. It involves supporting clients as their bodies undergo the process of eliminating toxic substances and chemicals from the body. This is important because when we abuse substances, the body becomes dependent on them. They interfere with our overall health and well-being and hinder the healing process.
Detox is led and supervised by trained medical and mental health professionals. When we misuse substances for a long time, we inevitably go through withdrawal. Withdrawal can be overwhelming and can even lead to relapse, so it must be managed carefully and effectively. The symptoms of withdrawal include increased anxiety and irritability, depression, hopelessness, aches and pains, nightmares, and intense cravings for the drug.
Medication is required to detox from some substances, such as alcohol and heroin. Other drugs of addiction, such as cocaine or cannabis, do not require specific medical intervention. However, anti-anxiety and antidepressant medication can still be prescribed to help clients deal with the psychological symptoms of withdrawal.

After detox, you will begin your stay in a residential treatment facility. You will meet your therapists, counselors, medical support staff, and other facility residents here. Throughout your stay, you will participate in a range of evidence-based and compassionately led mental health services. These services focus on supporting you through your recovery.
Examples of services offered in residential care include:
We offer a variety of options for those in need of medically-supervised withdrawal management including inpatient detox.

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.

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
