Our promise to you

What you can count on, from day one

Treatment here is personal, clinical and practical. These five things hold true for every client, at every level of care.

01

A plan built for you

Your treatment plan is tailored to your needs, history and goals, not a fixed timeline.

02

Three levels of care

Partial care, intensive outpatient and traditional outpatient therapy, so support steps down as you stabilize.

03

Licensed clinicians, every group

Licensed clinicians lead every group and provide your individual therapy.

04

Medical support on site

Our medical staff prescribe medications for alcohol and opioid use disorder here in Berlin.

05

A plan for after treatment

Relapse-prevention planning is part of every program, so you leave with a plan, not just a discharge date.

Our mission

“To provide compassionate, evidence-based behavioral healthcare that helps individuals overcome addiction, improve mental wellness, and rebuild their lives.”

Our vision

“To become the leading provider of behavioral health and recovery services in South New Jersey, recognized for client-centered care.”

What we believe

Recovery is achievable, and it looks different for everyone

We take a whole-person approach. That means working on the reasons behind substance use, not just the use itself: the stress, the trauma, the relationships and the mental health that come with it.

How we care for you

Support that steps down as you get steadier

Every program runs during the day. Most people start at the level that matches where they are and move down as they stabilize, with the same clinicians throughout.

A note on what we are not

We are an outpatient program only

We do not offer medically supervised detox or residential treatment. If that is the right first step for you, we will help you find it, and we will be here to take over your care when you step down.

Insurance & cost

Know what it costs before you commit

We check your out-of-network benefits with these and other major plans and give you a cost estimate before your first day, so there are no surprises.
